00:00Oh god, demon, demon, what kills a demon?
00:10Nerf!
00:14Nerf!
00:16Oh, Nerf!
00:18Not Nerf, Knife!
00:30Okay, that was too close for comfort.
00:37Not that slaying's ever comfy, but you know what I mean.
00:43You guys hadn't been here to help.
00:45But we were, and we didn't, and we're all fun.
00:50Isn't he gonna go poof?
00:53I guess these guys don't want to bury him or something.
00:58Oh.
01:00Makes you appreciate vamps, though.
01:02No fuss, no muffs.
01:04So how come Faith was a no-show?
01:06I thought mucusy demons were her favorites.
01:09Couldn't reach her.
01:11Again.
01:13She hasn't been hanging out much.
01:15I detect worry.
01:18A little bit.
01:20Slaying's a rough gig.
01:22Too much a long time missing healthy.
01:24Stuff gets pent up.
01:26We should try to do more socializing with her.
01:30Well, burial detail aside, does this cap us off for the day?
01:35You got plans?
01:37I cannot stress enough how much I don't have plans.
01:41No luck reaching Cordelia.
01:44I've left a few messages.
01:47Sixty.
01:48Seventy.
01:51But you know what really bugs me?
01:53Okay, we kissed.
01:54It was a mistake.
01:55But I know that was positively the last time we were ever gonna kiss.
01:59Darn tootin'.
02:00And they burst in rescuing us without even knocking?
02:04I mean, this is really all their fault.
02:07Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic.
02:12Mine is much more advanced.
02:14At least tomorrow's Monday.
02:16Another school day.
02:17That's good.
02:18Now focus on school.
02:20That's the strong Willow way to heal.
02:23Actually, I was more thinking Oz will be there and I can beg for forgiveness.
02:28That works too.
02:30I want to be strong Willow.
02:33But then I think I may never get to be close to Oz again.
02:38It's like all the air just goes out of the room.
02:42I know the feeling.
02:44Right.
02:45I mean, you went through it with Angel and you're still standing.
02:49So tell us, wise one.
02:51How do you deal?
02:53I have you guys.
02:58Hey, it's Xander.
02:59If you get this call me.
03:00Hey it's Xander.
03:01If you get this call me.
03:07Hi Xander, I uh, well I'm in if you'd like time.
03:13Bye, Cornelia.
03:23Hi Cornelia.
03:25Um, if you get the chance, if we can talk, I'm here.
03:36Hey, again. Me.
03:40Here.
03:42Again.
04:55Hey, man. What's up?
05:06How's it going?
05:08Oz hasn't been to his locker.
05:10There may be books in there that he needs, but still, he doesn't come.
05:16Has Anderson seen Cordelia?
05:18I don't think so.
05:20But she is coming in today.
05:22Amy saw her last night at the mall.
05:25How is she?
05:28I don't know.
05:30Amy said she looked pretty scary.
05:32I heard too.
05:58Oh, Delia, you look amazing.
06:11Oh, you have to meet Anya.
06:14She just moved here, and her dad just bought...
06:17What was it?
06:19Oh, a utility or something.
06:23Nice bag, Prada.
06:25Good call.
06:26Most people around here can't tell Prada from Payless.
06:31God, Cordy, when I heard about...
06:33Well, I mean, I couldn't believe it, but it was smart.
06:36You know, the injury thing.
06:39You take a week off, let everybody forget about the temporary insanity that was Xander Harris.
06:46Xander who?
06:48Oh.
06:50You know what you have to do.
06:53Start dating.
06:55Get back on the horse.
06:57Oh, absolutely.
06:58I am ready to ride.
07:00Then I have just the stallion.
07:03He's so you.
07:05I'm pretty sure he won't cheat on you.
07:23At least not for a while.
07:26Plus, he's got to kill moped.
07:28We will dress.
07:42Oh.
07:43Nice, nice.
07:48Well, look at us running into each other...
07:48...as two people who go to...
07:49Oz, wow.
07:53Look at us, running into each other
07:56as two people who go to the same school
07:59are so likely to do now and then.
08:03Hey.
08:07Oz, wait, please.
08:09What I did when I think that I hurt you.
08:15Yeah, you said all this stuff already.
08:18Right.
08:19But I want to make it up to you.
08:23I mean, if you let me, I want to try.
08:31Just...
08:31You can leave me alone.
08:37I need to figure things out.
08:39But maybe if we talk about it, we could...
08:42Look.
08:45I'm sorry this is hard for you.
08:47But I told you what I need.
08:51So I can't help feeling like the reason you want to talk
08:55is so you can feel better about yourself.
08:57That's not my problem.
09:01Don't think so.
09:17All right.
09:19Hey, John Lee, do I have something caught in my teeth?
09:49So, what's new? God, it's been like a gazillion years.
10:02Look, the guys are kind of down on me lately. Coach just cut me back to second string.
10:08If anyone saw me hanging with Xander Harris' cast-off on top of that, death, you know, but maybe.
10:16If you want to go someplace private.
10:22What?
10:24Think about it.
10:31Oh, hey.
10:34Go ahead. Dazzle me with your oh-so-brilliant insult. Just join the club.
10:40Hardly. Actually, I've been looking for you.
10:43Ever since we met this morning, I was like, thank God, there's one other person in this town who actually reads W.
10:50But Harmony?
10:51Oh, she follows me around.
10:54That girl had an original thought her head would explode.
11:00Is that Gucci?
11:01Um, no. It's an actual old thing, sort of, um, good luck charm my dad gave me.
11:10Too bad I didn't have one of those pre-Xander.
11:15Can I just say, men.
11:19Seconded.
11:20Apart from being without class, the guy's obviously blind.
11:24Deserves whatever he gets.
11:26I'm not even thinking about him.
11:28I am past it.
11:29I am living my life.
11:33Still, I know.
11:35Don't you kind of wish?
11:36I don't wish.
11:37I act.
11:39Starting now, Xander Harris is gonna get a belly full of just how over him I am.
11:44Excuse me.
12:06I need to be both giving and receiving of mirth.
12:09Is it too much to ask for a little backup?
12:10I'm here for you, and I'm a support-o-gal.
12:17I just feel a little weird about this us-against-Cordelia thing.
12:22She's had a rough time.
12:26It's true.
12:28Cordelia belongs to the Justified Camp.
12:32She should make us pay.
12:34And pay.
12:35And pay.
12:36And pay.
12:37In fact, there's just not enough pay for what...
12:39Look, you want to do Guiltalpalooza?
12:42Fine.
12:43But I'm done with that.
12:45Starting this minute, I'm gonna grab a hold of that crazy little thing called life and
12:50let it do its magical little Healy thing.
12:53What's done is done.
12:55Let's be in the moment.
12:57Behold the beauty that is now.
13:00Who's with me?
13:01It's actually making sense.
13:06We're young and free in America.
13:09How dare we be spun by love or the lack of shame.
13:13Absolutely.
13:15It's self-indulgent.
13:18I'm in.
13:19I'm on the joy train.
13:20That didn't work.
13:31Go watch chocolate.
13:33I'm up.
13:37Look at her.
13:39Tears of a clown, baby.
13:43Or is it grins of a sad person?
13:47Or maybe it's...
13:48Is it under your hand?
13:48Oops, sorry.
13:51But why oops?
13:52I mean, we always touch digits.
13:55It's a friend thing.
13:56Comfort.
13:57Like chocolate.
13:59Maybe it used to be.
14:01But since we...
14:04It's different.
14:07I'm sorry.
14:09But if I want to make things right with Oz,
14:12my hands,
14:14my...
14:15All my stuff
14:17has to be for him only.
14:20Yeah!
14:29Yeah!
14:38Oh.
14:38I'm too old.
14:41I'm fine now.
14:42I'm fine.
14:43I'm fine.
14:44I'm fine.
14:44I'm fine.
14:45I'm fine.
14:46Hey, Cordelia, wait a second.
15:03Did Xander send you to beg for him?
15:06Because if he did...
15:08No, I'm a free agent, I promise.
15:13I just wanted to see how you are.
15:15It's never been better.
15:18Cordelia, I know what it's like to be hurt by someone.
15:22Hurt so much that you don't think you're going to make it.
15:25But I told my friends how I felt, and you know what?
15:29They got a little better.
15:45Cordelia, look!
15:47Ow!
15:48Ow!
15:49Ow!
15:49Ow!
15:54Ow!
15:56Ow!
16:00Ow!
16:00Ow!
16:02Ow!
16:04Ow!
16:05Ah!
16:05You know what I've been asking myself a lot this last week?
16:34Why me? Why do I get impaled? Why do I get bitten by snakes? Why do I fall for incredible losers?
16:45And you know, I think I've finally figured it out. What my problem is, it's...
16:51Buffy Summers. That's when all my trouble started. When she moved here.
16:57You okay?
16:58Oh, I just pulled some stitches last night. Know why? Surprise! It was Buffy's fault.
17:05Oh, hey! It's Garbage Girl.
17:08Loved the look last night, Cor. Dumpster sheets for the dumped.
17:13Yeah.
17:16So sad.
17:18Here. I think you need this more than I do right now.
17:27Yeah, I could use some luck. And a stick with pointy sharp bits. If that Buffy wasn't... I swear!
17:36She's a pain. But... Xander, he's an utter loser. Don't you wish?
17:45I never would have looked twice at Xander if Buffy hadn't made him marginally cooler by hanging with him.
17:51Really?
17:52Yeah, I swear. I wish Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale.
18:01Darn.
18:02Anya?
18:20Anya?
18:20I wish Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale.
18:37She was like...
18:39a good fairy.
18:42A scary...
18:43veiny...
18:45good fairy.
18:47Where have you been?
19:11Ted Sherbin just totally went for third with Ginger in front of everybody.
19:16I love the dress.
19:19It's so daring.
19:22Oh, dearie.
19:23Yeah?
19:26Look, every guy on campus has probably asked that if you're not going to the winter brunch with anyone, I'd be honored and we'd have fun.
19:38I'll get back to you.
19:40Really?
19:41Yeah.
19:42Great.
19:49Cordy, you rain.
19:51I do?
19:53I mean, I do.
19:55So, what's with the winter brunch thing?
19:58All right, now, don't forget, tomorrow we have our, uh, monthly memorial, so, uh, there's no class.
20:12What's the rush?
20:14Oh, you know, my mom hates it when I'm late.
20:18Since when?
20:19Aren't we going out tonight?
20:22Curfew starts in an hour.
20:25Curfew?
20:26Come on, I'm in a really good mood.
20:28Let's go to the bronze.
20:31Is that a joke?
20:34Oh, the bronze isn't cool in this reality.
20:37I've got to make these little adjustments.
20:39Cordy, what's with you?
20:45I mean, you wear this come-bite-me outfit.
20:49You make jokes about the bronze.
20:52You're acting a little schizo.
20:54You're right.
20:55I just, well, I bumped my head yesterday and I keep forgetting stuff.
21:00Not that I care, but Xander Harris, he's miserable, right?
21:06And that willow freak he hangs with, not even a blip on the radar screen, right?
21:12Well, yeah.
21:15They're dead.
21:15They're dead.
21:30Okay, not funny.
21:39Hey, you.
21:41Where did you put my car?
21:43Pardon?
21:45My auto.
21:47El Convertablo?
21:49You students aren't allowed to drive, and you know it.
21:53What?
21:53Go on now, miss.
21:55You better get in before the sun sets.
22:00You better get in before the sun sets.
22:30Well, what do you know?
22:43Cordelia Chase.
22:45What is this?
22:47Some kind of sick joke?
22:49Harmony told me you were dead.
22:51Now, why would she say something like that?
22:55Let's think.
22:56Listen to me.
22:59We have to find Buffy.
23:01She'll figure out a way to save us.
23:04She was supposed to be here, and as much as it kills me to admit it,
23:08things were better when she was around.
23:12Buffy?
23:14The Slayer?
23:15No.
23:16Buffy, the dog-faced girl.
23:18Duh.
23:19Who do you think I'm talking about?
23:22Bored now.
23:28This is the part that's less fun.
23:32When there isn't any screaming.
23:34What's up with you two in the leather?
23:40Play now?
23:43It's not that I don't appreciate your appetite, Will.
23:47But I thought we agreed it was my turn.
23:49No.
23:51No.
23:51No way!
23:53I wish us into Bizarro Land, and you guys are still together?
24:01I cannot win!
24:04Probably not.
24:08But I'll give you a head start.
24:09Ah!
24:11Ah!
24:14I love this part.
24:23You have all the parts.
24:40No fun.
24:42She didn't even hardly fight.
24:47Ah, swell.
24:48It's the White Hats.
24:53I've got them.
24:58Get the girl.
25:18What's she doing?
25:19Pulse is strong.
25:20What was she doing wearing that?
25:24Everyone knows that vampires are attracted to bright colors.
25:28That's Cordelia.
25:29It's better to look good than to feel alive.
25:32I can, um, watch the perimeter of the sky that they follow.
25:36You have to act.
25:37There God is.
25:37You have to act.
25:57How is it going?
25:59No.
25:59Oh, man.
26:06Oh, man.
26:08Oh, man.
26:10Oh, man.
26:11You're so sassy.
26:13Oh!
26:14Oh, man.
26:14Oh, man.
26:16I know.
26:17Oh, man.
26:18Oh, man.
26:19Oh, man.
26:20I'll be fine for you soon, boy.
26:22Slap my hand, dead soul, man.
26:41Ah, Xander.
26:44Willow.
26:46Hungry?
26:49I've lost my appetite for this one.
26:51She keeps looking at me.
26:55I'm trying to eat and she looks at me.
26:59Go on.
27:12I remember that lost for the kill.
27:15Now, what news on the Rialto?
27:24I had a prime kill.
27:26Old crush, actually.
27:29Until that one-lessly librarian showed up.
27:32He'll be dealt with soon enough.
27:35Weird thing.
27:37The girl kept talking about Buffy.
27:39Got to get Buffy here.
27:43Isn't that what they called the Slayer?
27:46Hmm.
27:47Buffy.
27:48Ooh, scary.
27:50Someone has to talk to her people.
27:53That name is striking fear in nobody's hearts.
27:57She talked of summoning a Slayer here.
28:00Now.
28:01At this time.
28:03And you didn't kill her.
28:04Well, they had crosses.
28:07The plant begins operation in less than 24 hours.
28:13You will find this girl.
28:17You will kill her.
28:19Before she contacts the Slayer.
28:23Or I'll see you two kissing daylight.
28:26All right.
28:35Hey.
28:36Hey.
28:36Giles.
28:37It's all my fault.
28:38I wasn't.
28:39I made this stupid wish.
28:41Come on.
28:41Please lie.
28:42No.
28:43You have to get Buffy.
28:45Buffy changes it.
28:46It wasn't like this.
28:48It was better.
28:49I mean, the clothes alone.
28:51But people were happy.
28:54Mostly.
28:54And...
28:56Wait.
29:00Why are you here and she's not?
29:03I mean, you were her watcher.
29:07How did you know I was a watcher?
29:09I've never...
29:12What?
29:17What?
29:18I thought I heard something.
29:19I heard something.
29:19I want you to stop again and explain everything very carefully.
29:30You're in a big cage.
29:34Not too bright, book guy.
29:36So you're a watcher, huh?
29:49Watch this.
29:50No.
29:51No.
29:53No.
29:53No.
29:54No.
29:55No.
30:05No.
30:05I don't know.
30:35I don't know.
30:45They feel it's right outside.
30:49Nancy?
30:50She's dead.
30:54Um, would you mind?
30:59Could you take her to the incinerator?
31:01I have some business, too.
31:05There's a moment.
31:18There's a moment.
31:19There's a moment.
31:25The deed is done.
31:44You killed the girl who sought the slayer?
31:48It's too easy.
31:49I felt cheap.
31:52Excellent.
31:53The opening will commence as scheduled.
31:57So, you're pleased?
32:01Ecstatic.
32:03Then, can I play with the puppy?
32:07Be my guest.
32:14Yes, I understand.
32:22But it's imperative that I see her.
32:25Here.
32:25Well, when will you?
32:31Well, you are a watcher.
32:32I'd expect you to at least check in.
32:36Yes, I'm aware that there's a great deal of demonic activity in Cleveland.
32:41It, well, it happens, you know, it happens, you know, that Sunnydale is on a hellmouth.
32:48It is so.
32:52Well, just, just give her the message, if you ever see her again.
32:57I'm bored now.
33:16Daytime is the worst.
33:23I'm just cooped up for hours.
33:28Can't hunt.
33:39But the master said I could play.
33:46Isn't that fun, puppy?
33:53Oh, puppy's being all quiet.
34:01Come on.
34:02Don't be a spoil sport.
34:11That's what today is.
34:15Today the plant opens.
34:18It's a big party.
34:20You remember I told you about the plant?
34:28All those people you tried to save?
34:32It's going to be quick for them.
34:36Not for you, though.
34:40It's going to be slow for you.
34:45That's right, puppy.
34:47Well, it's going to make you bark.
34:55Oh.
34:57Maybe I went too hard on you last time.
35:09Too hard?
35:12No such thing.
35:13Watch it with those things.
35:15You almost got my hair.
35:17Sorry.
35:19Got carried away.
35:22Don't you want to?
35:24No thanks, baby.
35:27I just want to watch you go.
35:38Here it is.
35:40I found it.
35:41Look.
35:45It's what Cordelia was wearing.
35:48It's the symbol of...
35:51Anyanka.
35:54I don't think I know her.
35:57What, no?
35:58Anyanka is a sort of a patron saint of scorned women.
36:03What does she do?
36:08She grants wishes.
36:10So, Cordelia, your wish for something?
36:13Well, if it was a long, healthy life, she should get her money back.
36:16She said something about everything being different.
36:19That the world wasn't supposed to be like this.
36:24It was better before.
36:30Okay.
36:31The entire world sucks because some dead ditz made a wish.
36:34I just want to be clear.
36:40She said the, uh, the Slayer was supposed to be here.
36:45It was, um, meant to have been here already.
36:49It certainly would have helped.
36:50As I tried calling her, but, um...
36:55Look, I'm gonna have to...
36:57Search this Anyanka thing further.
37:01Um, I have some more volumes at home.
37:07You two, two get some sleep.
37:09Watch your back.
37:10Watch your back.
37:40you two, two and six hours later.
37:48Go, go, go, go.
37:55Come on.
38:00Come on.
38:01Come on.
38:04Come on.
38:04Come on.
38:07Come on.
38:07Luffy Summers?
38:24That's right.
38:27Want to tell me what I'm doing here?
38:37Ah, ah, ah.
38:47Yes.
38:50Here.
38:50In order to defeat Anyanka, one must destroy her power center.
38:55This should reverse all the wishes she's granted, rendering her mortal and powerless again.
39:00You see?
39:02Without her power center, she'll just be an ordinary woman again, and all this will be, um...
39:07Well, different.
39:12Well, I'd say that my watcher muscles haven't completely atrophied after all.
39:20Great.
39:22What's her power center?
39:24Um, well, uh, um...
39:27It doesn't say.
39:32Why don't I just put a stake through her heart?
39:35She's not a vampire.
39:36Well, you'd be surprised how many things that'll kill.
39:39I don't want to kill her, Miss Summers.
39:42I want to reverse whatever effect she's had on this, this world.
39:51You're taking an awful lot on faith here, Jeeves.
39:54Giles.
39:54Kill the bad fairy, destroy the bad fairies, power center, whatever.
40:02And all the troubles go away.
40:04Yeah, well, I'm sure it's not that simple, but...
40:06The world is what it is.
40:08We fight, we die.
40:11Wishing doesn't change that.
40:13I have to believe in a better world.
40:16Go ahead.
40:16I have to live in this one.
40:22Cordelia said she knew that I was meant to be your watcher.
40:26She said she knew you.
40:29She's probably just a big fan.
40:31The master sent his most vicious disciples to kill her.
40:35Now, she must have posed some threat to him.
40:39Master?
40:41Um, supreme vampire around these parts.
40:44He lives on the outskirts of town in an old club.
40:48You know where he lives, and no one's ever tried to take him out?
40:52People have tried.
40:55Well, point the way.
40:57Might as well do some good while I'm in this town.
41:00You can't just walk in there and...
41:02Look, you want to stay here and play make-believe fine.
41:05Not going to be any help to you anyway.
41:07There's only one thing I'm good at.
41:09Well, at least let's muster some kind of force.
41:12I don't play well with others.
41:15Now, I'm going to ask you this once, and then I'm going to get testy.
41:21Where's this club?
41:51Buffy.
42:12Buffy Summers.
42:21It's you.
42:26I mean, you don't remember.
42:30How could you?
42:31How did you know my name?
42:35I waited.
42:38I waited here for you.
42:41But you never...
42:44thought I was supposed to help you.
42:47You were going to help me.
42:49Master Rose.
42:54He let me live.
42:57To punish me.
42:59I kept hoping maybe he'd come.
43:06My destiny.
43:10Is this a get-in-my-pants thing?
43:13You guys in Sunnydale talk like I'm the second coming.
43:16I'm sorry.
43:17I just meant...
43:19Look, I don't have time for stories.
43:22Where's the master?
43:26They're at his factory.
43:28It starts tonight.
43:31Factory?
43:32Look, I...
43:33I can take you there.
43:35I can take you there.
43:35Oh, you've got to be killing me.
43:47Wait.
43:47I won't hurt you.
43:49No, you'll leave that to your master.
43:50Oh, you've got to be killing me.
43:51Wait.
43:52I won't hurt you.
43:53No, you'll leave that to your master.
43:54You don't believe I want to help you.
43:55You don't believe I want to help you.
44:00I believe I want him dead.
44:02hurt you. No, you leave that
44:05to your master. You don't believe
44:07I want to help you?
44:17Believe I want him
44:18dead.
44:27Come!
44:29Behold the technical wonder
44:31which is about to alter the very
44:32fabric of our society.
44:35Some have argued
44:36that such an advancement goes against
44:38our nature. They
44:40claim that death is our
44:42art. I say to
44:44them, well, I don't say
44:46anything to them because I killed them.
44:49Undeniably we are the
44:50world's superior race.
44:53Yet we've always been
44:54too promocional,
44:56too bound by
44:58the mindless routine of the
45:00predator. Hunt and
45:03kill, hunt and kill.
45:04Titillating? Yes.
45:07Practical?
45:09Hardly.
45:11Meanwhile, the humans
45:12with their plebeian minds
45:14have brought us a truly
45:16demonic concept.
45:19Mass
45:20production!
45:22Mass production!
45:22Mass production!
45:23We really are living in a golden age.
45:30in the name of all women scorned,
45:55come before me.
45:58Do you have any idea
46:08what I do to a man
46:10who uses that spell to summon
46:12me?
46:16Bring on the first!
46:19Back!
46:21Open it up!
46:24You!
46:24She's still alive, you see,
46:52for the freshness.
46:55Queen,
46:56she's been
47:24What's the plan?
47:42Don't fall on this.
47:54Welcome to the future.
48:10To the future!
48:11The future!
48:13The future!
48:14The future!
48:24Uh-oh.
48:27What do you got out?
48:49Cordelia Chase, what did she wish for?
48:52I had no idea her wish would be so exciting.
48:57Brave new world.
48:59I hope she likes it.
49:11You're going to change it back.
49:16I'm not afraid of you.
49:19Your only power lies in the wishing.
49:22Rawr!
49:43Buffy, look out!
49:44This is the real world now.
49:57This is the world we made.
50:01Isn't it wonderful?
50:03You're old.
50:24I'm not afraid of you.
50:25You're all old.
50:27I'm not afraid of you.
50:27I'm not afraid of you.
