00:00human class bulgara species bone skewers jut from the creature's forearms during battle
00:06it's imperative not to damage its arms why exactly can't we damage this poke thing's
00:11arms she's an unnecessary risk two of our hostiles broke free and escaped into the tunnels
00:20she's dead marley i don't understand professor walsh if you think that's enough to kill me
00:25you really don't know what a slayer is she wants a fight we'll give her one
00:29it's not safe for any of us and when she least expects
00:37mommy so maggie sends me down into the sewers with one of those blasto guns and the next thing
00:44i know it's raining monsters hallelujah and then this gate slams down behind me and i try to use
00:51the gun but it goes you're saying that maggie walsh set you up that's exactly what i'm saying
00:59she sent me on a one-way recon gotta hand it to you goldilocks you do have bleeding tragic
01:07taste in men i got a cousin married to a regurgitating frove locks team that's got
01:13better instincts than you what does my taste in men have to do with this you think briley
01:18was out knitting booties for your future offspring while maggie was stringing you up
01:29you guys think riley had something to do with this
01:32probably not but um we'd be remiss if we didn't think all the possibilities
01:39right
01:44remiss no no maggie made sure that he was nowhere around when she sent me on this
01:51very special make buffy dead assignment plus riley he seems like he wouldn't tell a little
01:58white lie let alone a whole bunch of big dirty ones that's why they call it the secret force
02:04as well because they kind of keep the whole lying thing to themselves all i know is that
02:09maggie has it in for me which means the initiative has it in for me i'm guessing the mad scientist
02:16isn't too keen on the fact that the entire scooby gang knows that the initiative is up to no good
02:22which brings us back to the not safe for any of us concept what could have happened to make
02:27professor walsh want to kill you
02:31i don't know
02:35she wasn't keen on the fact that i was asking a lot of questions that's for sure
02:39so you were getting too close to something clearly
02:43well no one can any imagine what she'd be so desperate to hide
03:44so
04:11you
04:13everybody grab a weapon we've got to move let's throw in the initiative yeah let's take on those
04:21suckers i was thinking more that we'd hide oh thank god i think perhaps we should talk about
04:28this we need to relocate someplace we're less likely to be found we need to come up with a
04:33plan we could go to my place the initiative guys know how close we are they'll automatically check
04:38the places that you hang out sandra what about your basement the guys haven't seen us together
04:43that much and there's enough room oh plus your wall cool come on down and boogie at zander's
04:49hideaway yes come boogie absolutely not i will not squat in that dank hole what it was good
04:56enough for me but you're above it all precisely besides that i don't see why we can't stay right
05:03where we are it's very unlikely those initiative boys are going to come around here to look for
05:11buffy god buffy are you okay what happened you know i know something went down
05:23tell me maggie tried to kill me
05:28it didn't work but they're all upset anyway okay listen i need you to go over everything
05:34step by step there has to be has to be some kind of mistake there was no mistake
05:41and how do you know something happened i was on a mission but i came back and
05:49i'm not sure look let's just keep our heads and not jumped any
05:57what that's hostile 17 no i'm just a friend of zander's
06:08bugger it i'm your guy this is spike he's um
06:16it's a really long story but but he's not bad anymore hey what am i a bleeding broken record
06:22i'm bad it's just i can't buy anymore thanks to you wankers we've been looking all over the
06:30place for him but you've known where he's been all along it's not like that then what is it
06:36like what's he doing here leaving you swabs to your dramatics thanks i've got my stories
06:43on the telly for that by the by if you're trying to kill her
06:58buffy what is this you're hiding an hst why don't you just back off let her ask
07:04the questions jack your boss just tried to make monster food out of her
07:13oh i i didn't see much i wasn't there
07:20all i know is professor walsh told me you were dead but then i saw you on the monitors
07:27but this isn't professor walsh there must be something making her act this way
07:33something i don't know controlling her we think nothing may have been becoming too inquisitive
07:40that she was getting close to something that professor walsh was trying to hide
07:46any idea what that might be what about 314 maybe that's it maybe she was trying to test you
07:53what if it was only a drill then why did she tell you i was dead riley it wasn't a test
08:00see i've heard rumors that the initiative isn't all that we've been told that um
08:07secretly they're working towards some darker purpose something that might harm us no that's
08:14that's not what happens there riley i would know look no one is sure of anything okay
08:19well we're just trying to sort it out i can't be here i'll sort it out on my own riley no just

11:34that would never happen well no buff that's why they call them cartoons not documentaries
11:42must we have the noise my head is splitting well look who's cranky bear in the morning
11:50yes i can't imagine why i didn't sleep well in my beach ball every time you moved it made squeaky
11:57noises it was irritating really i'm surprised you could hear it ab your wagnerian snoring okay you
12:05guys could we not please everything screwed up enough without you two doing scenes from my
12:10parents marriage i'm sorry sorry thank you it'll be okay buffy riley's just confused that's all
12:24i don't know just seems like things could get heavier
12:31his whole world's falling apart and after everything you've been through with angel
12:36you know you really should get yourself a boring boyfriend like xander you can't have xander
12:43that was the idea riley was supposed to be mr joe guy we were gonna do dumb things like hold
12:52hands through the daisies going tra la la poor buffy your life resists all things average
13:00so dump him but you can't have xander i'll try and remember that
13:07it's too late anyway i'm already at the i hurt when he hurts i smile when he smiles stage
13:17i hate that part i'll just have to make it work show that tv now
13:29sunnydale is still reeling from news of the crime a source in the coroner's office tells us that the
13:36boy was stabbed with what looks like some kind of large skewer and his body was then mutilated
13:44police have not named a suspect and the killer is still at large the pogara demon had a skewer
13:51in its arm that's the one that maggie insisted we bring back alive she must have sent it after you
13:57and it got distracted god buffy it's not your fault how could you know she's right
14:04you mustn't blame yourself i'm not going to i'm going to the crime scene to see what i can find
14:13out you guys research the pogara demon i want to know where it is when i find it i'm going to make
14:19him pay for taking that kid's life i'll make him die in ways he can't even imagine
14:30that probably would have sounded more commanding if i wasn't wearing my yummy sushi pajamas
14:35hey where you been all night well congratulations i see you and buffy finally gotten past the shy
14:51phase i wasn't with buffy you need to be alone think some things through what things
15:05this is mighty ominous what's up man professor walsh tried to have buffy killed what did
15:20buffy tell you that i mean do you have any proof i saw enough to know it's true i don't get it why
15:28uh buffy thinks that she's getting too close to something that professor walsh has some secret i
15:36wouldn't put it past buffy to get him professor walsh's bad side she tends to put her nose where
15:41it doesn't belong what she's a pain always wanting to know why this and why that you're saying she
15:46should die because of that i don't know maybe professor walsh found out that buffy was up to
15:50something bad that ever crossed your mind why does it bug you so much that i'm hanging with her
15:56is it because she's a better soldier than you it bugs me that she's using you to infiltrate
16:00our operation so you're saying she's a spy you're crazy right think about it
16:05the professor's not stupid she tried to kill buffy maybe buffy needed killing
16:12guys not now private
16:15so what is it
16:20professor walsh is dead
16:45so
17:02and look at that wound
17:06she's been staked wouldn't you say brother what only one person i can think of who could do
17:12something like that you better not be saying what i think you're saying we don't know a person
17:20did this a pulgar demon has no way that's your girlfriend's mo hey that's a serious accusation
17:26you better be ready to deal with the consequences bring them all
17:30supernatural freak is blinding you and i'm sick of that's enough man show some respect listen
17:38everybody's upset but arguing isn't going to help anything that's certainly not what professor
17:44walsh would want
17:51oh sir all right good now washington is sending in a team to do an internal investigation i've
17:59been told we have to wait for their word what do you mean wait this has to be the work of
18:03the pulgar demon we captured last week probably looks like last night the pulgar escaped through
18:09tunnel 72 it's out loose somewhere i'm afraid so then we have to go after it my orders from
18:15washington are for a total lockdown until they arrive i'm sorry now return to your quarters
18:24there's nothing you can do here
18:36listen engelman can talk all he wants but i'm still in charge until the brass
18:42gets here and tells me otherwise i say we've got a demon to hunt
18:47now suit up for armed patrol and by that i mean loaded guns men target practice is over all for
18:53blood
19:16attack
19:24somebody's been staying here what do you think a homeless guy
19:31could be or squatter the demon variety not the pulgar who cares i see a demon it dies

20:15animals
20:41so
21:04fluffy
21:10hey look i'm sorry about earlier i know that everyone came on pretty strong
21:18and the swag thing isn't as tweaked as it looked
21:22okay maybe it is but there's an explanation that almost makes sense
21:29hello i'm apologizing here and i think that's pretty big of me considering i'm the one who
21:36was almost made a demon sandwich this is the part where you throw me a bone
21:45maggie's dead

21:54how can you ask me that of course i'm not happy what happened that's classified classified
22:07the pulgar let god earn escaped didn't it i'm gonna find it i'm gonna find it and destroy it
22:19and then you can stop asking me how happy all this death makes me

23:06you know that but you want to do a spell yeah but only because it's really important
23:16there's this no you don't have to explain i don't mind really i've been um thinking about that last
23:22spell we did all day you have well this one should be really fun too we conjure the goddess thespia
23:31to help us locate demonic energy in the area shouldn't be too tricky the goddess thespia
23:39are you sure we're ready for that you and me this is beneath us
23:47okay if you say so
24:02between the eastern crisis
24:09you killing me here no missed you too joints jumping yeah you know i'm making some changes
24:17with my life i'm getting away from my old image you mean it's a double-dealing snitch
24:22i know you're gonna think i'm blown with smoke but after those apocalypse demons nearly did me in
24:26had experience with the spiritual variety that's swell really but i need to know if you've heard
24:31anything about a pulgara demon doing some killings in the last few days see uh that's the
24:36thing i don't talk behind people's backs no more and i'm bringing some class to the joint you know
24:41it's willie's place now see brings in a better clientele i got one of those deep fryers these
24:47demons just go crazy for chicken fingers look if they see me dealing with you then i'm just the
24:56same old willie working both sides of the street i'm gonna have to punch you aren't i just once
25:00and it don't have to hurt just make it look good oh oh not yet i haven't touched you oh sorry right

25:21oh there was one around a week or two back word was you got him you and those army guys
25:30and that was the last you heard yeah as far as i know it's off the streets
25:35what about those army guys what do you know you heard anything about 314
25:40what are you doing here following me you told me you were tracking the pulgara demon i thought
25:55i'd help but now i see you're not hunting demons you're socializing with them again
26:02i thought you're supposed to be killing these things not buying them drinks
26:05oh that's smooth officer riley did he do those undercover moves in special forces
26:10i'm serious buffy what are you doing here just cooling a dog like the rest of us
26:15why don't you sit down relax i want you to tell me who are you
26:23no kidding how about i get you some chicken fingers on the house hey think you could shut up
26:28look i'm just saying i said shut up or maybe you'd like to go back to the lab with me i'm sure the
26:33coats would love to classify a whatever you are leave him alone riley he's human so he's human
26:43you're shaking he just harbors demons which makes him a good guy like you
26:50the truth of you now you have the truth you are just too screwed up because of what happened to
26:57professor walsh to see it now let go of me hold it you
27:04no leaving till i say so got it hey we got new rules here no killing right
27:12except the rules don't seem to apply much these days do they
27:19like if i shot you right now i don't know if i have a corpse on my hands or one pissed off vampire
27:25riley i mean who do you believe first it sounds like lies then it sounds like truth riley
27:56i don't know what's happening to me
27:59so
28:20riley why don't you lie down you'll be more comfortable
28:30stop it i can't it's like something's crawling inside no you're hurting yourself
28:47okay i thought i knew but i don't i don't know anything
28:56shh you're sick once you get some rest no buffy
29:05i don't know anything i don't know which team i'm on
29:13the bad guys are
29:19maybe i'm the bad guy maybe i'm the thing you should kill
29:24no don't you even think that okay listen to me you're sick you just need to get some sleep
29:37please lie down with me
29:40me
29:46come on
29:47so
30:06you'll be okay
30:17so
30:36how is he this isn't just grief making him act this way
30:40something's affecting him physically and it's getting worse
30:43do you think professor walsh did something now i don't know but i'm ready to find out
30:48that's going to be tough but with maggie's deadness and all she must have kept records
30:53somewhere about riley about 314 about all of it and i'm sure she wasn't the only person that knew
30:59what she was up to so what's the plan giles on you keep researching xander you and i are going
31:05undercover hey remember before no xander not in a boyfriend way or a lead him to a certain death
31:15way he's the only one with military experience it's not like he was in the nam he was gi joe
31:22for one night it's okay anya i've backed up buffy before can't you do something else to help them
31:28like xerox handouts or something i'll be careful promise
31:39it's a minor point but how do you plan to get into the initiative well i'm sure the
31:43security system is almost impenetrable i have my clearance i'm hoping she didn't have time
31:48to revoke it okay well as for the whereabouts of this paul garden you and i'm afraid we've
31:54did not turn out much there'll be no reports since its original capture
31:59then we'll just have to keep looking
32:03so the square is sunnydale right it's like a map we both take different parts of the potion
32:13and when we do the incantation we both blow it onto the square at the exact same time
32:19but how does it work well that's the cool part when the potion mixes and thespia is called
32:27it creates this mist over the parts where the demons are
32:33it even makes different colors for different breeds wow
32:37wow you ready
32:56let's do it
32:57thespia we walk in shadow walk in blindness
33:10you are the protector of the night thespia goddess ruler of all darkness we implore you
33:20open a window to the world of the underbeing
33:30with your knowledge may we go in safety with your grace may we speak of your benevolence
33:38grenade
33:52seems pretty quiet usually is this time
34:07so
34:16buff maybe you should check the look later
34:20ow what'd you do that for sorry i'm the only one that can pass the retinal scan there
34:28ew i don't want to see that retinal scan xander
34:37i will know in a few seconds if my clearance is still good
34:41or if we're about to die at the hands of 50 grief-fueled military
34:50why am i not entirely comforted by the arrival of the man-sized microwave
34:58me
35:11holy moly i know
35:18i totally get it now can i have sex with riley too
35:27dr borman
35:35what what are you talking about well i uh you know in the movies the guy and the girl have to hide
35:43please could you possibly draw more attention to us
35:47this is the initiative sander military guys and scientists do not make out with each other
35:53well maybe that's what's wrong with the world ever think about that
35:58i totally failed it wasn't even like the spell went wrong it just wouldn't if it's any
36:05consolation we haven't fared much better here really is riley a little bit too much
36:11wouldn't if it's any consolation we haven't fared much better here
36:15really is riley okay oh he's asleep finally he doesn't look good
36:23and the uh research is troubling as well i mean this this demon we're after seems highly atypical
36:29for a pulgara this child that he killed was mutilated there's no recorded cases of a pulgara
36:37by having done such a thing also the pulgara have to eat every two hours
36:41factor in the low iq and you have a demon who's not exactly low profile
36:45so how has he been hiding out in sunnydale for the last two days without anyone seeing exactly
36:58riley where's buffy she went out can i get you something
37:03she's telling me where she is you're not well riley you need to rest did she find the pulgara
37:12huh is that it well no we're still looking but but what
37:17she went to find out what's making you sick i'm not sick
37:23you're telling me she went to the initiative riley she's just trying to help you she doesn't belong
37:29there freddy listen stay away from the stairs no you're kidding me buffy killed me hey
37:42are you all right
37:47how many of the men are still out the longer they go without their meds everyone's off their
37:53schedules because of the professor's death it's dangerous i don't want to think about the damage
37:58our guys could do under the stress of withdrawal especially since they won't understand what's
38:03happening to them these guys don't know they've been getting meds through their food so we better
38:08get them in here stat we've located all but a few the last ones were in pretty bad shape but we
38:15stabilized them but finn wasn't one of them right no find him he's the one i care about he's too
38:21important to the work to lose now indeed
38:27i have said it time and time again
38:35double shot of lunatic make it to good stuff i don't want no freaking orangutan
38:42ganja
38:46i'm a pisser of a day you know his army blokes are on the tear
38:52they ran me out of my place and all over the town
38:59yeah what's that
39:03keep me posted i'll be in records
39:12so
39:26no i don't generally like to kill humans but i've learned that it pays to be flexible in life
39:30i was wondering when you'd turn up oh darn so this isn't a surprise
39:37now you can tell me what you did to riley and after that we can take a tour of room 314
39:43somebody's coming you know i'm sure they've already seen you on the security monitors
39:48monitors are non-functional at this time sir went down about 10 minutes ago what i didn't do that
39:56thank god for small favors and we'll worry about details later huh buff finn take this girl to the
40:02finn take this girl to the stockade immediately riley he can tell us what we need to know
40:08maggie wanted me dead didn't she she did but understand the initiative has no interest
40:16in eliminating the slayer it was her own vendetta why spell it out for me
40:22i feel an attack of dumb blonde coming on i don't know well think harder
40:28it was the project project 314 it
40:42it escaped that's enough you're making her sound like some psychopath
40:49she wasn't like that she was a brilliant woman she was it's not all she was doing was trying to
40:55help people and this is the way you want them to remember her engelman said walsh was feeding you
41:00drugs you're doing this to me aren't you this all started because of you look if you will just
41:04listen to me okay i am trying to help you get to the truth you want truth then tell me what did
41:10you do to her buffy stop it i didn't do anything riley stop this isn't about us everything that
41:18we need to know is here we just need to find out what was in 314
41:29me
41:36i've been thinking about the world
41:39i wanted to see it learn it i saw the inside of that boy and it was beautiful
41:49but it didn't tell me about the world it just made me feel so now
42:00i want to learn about me
42:03why i feel
42:04what i am
42:08so i came home
42:18i'm a kinematically redundant biomechanical demonoid designed by maggie walsh she called me
42:26adam and i called her mother adam maggie would want you to stand down
42:34yes but i seem to have a design flaw
42:42in addition to organic material i'm equipped with gp2 d11 infrared detectors
42:49a harmonic decelerator plus dc servo she pieced you together from parts of other demons and man
42:56and machine which tells me what i am but not who i am
43:09mother wrote things down
43:13hard data but also her feelings
43:18that's how i learned that i have a job here and that she loved me she wasn't your mother
43:25and she didn't love you is that really the issue she made you because she was a scientist riley
43:34riley finn
43:38stop those files oh mother created you too maggie is not my mother i have a mother
43:46a real birth mother yes but after you met maggie she was the one who shaped your basic operating
43:54system she taught you how to think how to feel she fed you chemicals to make you stronger
44:04your mind and body she said that you and i were her favorite children her art
44:12that makes us brothers family no i'm not like you
44:18you that's pain isn't it why because your feeding schedule the chemicals have been interrupted
44:31or do you miss her tell me i'll kill you you won't you haven't been programmed to
44:39cannot be programmed oh man it's here the plan she had for us what happens
44:49how it ends no do you want to hear no
45:09um

47:42with the slayer you kill other demons and the rest of us don't hold with that
47:49still if i see you around here again i'll be inclined to break that code do you understand
48:10no word from riley nothing the initiative probably has him locked in some medical ward
48:19there's no way i can get near him until i come up with a better plan than just
48:22storming in and getting us all shot yeah you might want to work the kinks out of that one
48:30what am i gonna do he needs me and i can't get near him you'll find a way
48:39it's not i can spend all my energy going after the initiative
48:43not while adam's out there he's really that big of a threat
48:50i could barely fight him it was like maggie designed him to be the ultimate warrior
48:55he's smart and fast he gave the commando guys a slip with no problem there's got to be a flaw
49:02i think the part where he's pure evil and killed randomly was an oversight
49:06i never should have let them take riley
49:14i need to be with him i'm sure he's okay there's no way he can be
49:22everything he's ever believed in has been taken away or
49:28he's alone
49:32he has nothing to hold on to
