03:44Yeah, man, I'm starving.
04:09Let's go.
04:10I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
04:40Come on, hurry it up! I'm getting soaked!
04:46I'm trying!
04:48This thing is amazing!
04:52Nice! Good job!
04:55Look at this!
04:57Guys carton dirt around!
04:59Leave it!
05:00We'll turn it on its side!
05:03Dirt?
05:04Man, rich people!
05:10There you go. All set.
05:18Thank you, Willow.
05:20Alps, no bloody machines. If you refuse to work for me.
05:24Just call me the computer whisperer.
05:27Let's get scanning. I want to see this puppy girl.
05:30Start with it.
05:32Start? Where is finish?
05:35Willow, it's essential that we begin to archive the library.
05:38I mean, most of these texts have no duplicates.
05:42But now?
05:44Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?
05:48Well, you don't have to, Willow. I mean, you're welcome to leave if...
05:54No, it's fine.
05:58It's just you've been Mr. Project all summer.
06:02You know?
06:04Labelling the amulets and indexing your diaries.
06:08I draw the line at making giant rubber band balls.
06:12That's when you'll just have to get a life.
06:16That's what I'm trying to do, actually, is, um...
06:19Get a life.
06:21It might go better if you left the house.
06:24Willow, um...
06:27You mustn't repeat what I'm about to say.
06:30Especially not to Buffy.
06:33Uh-oh.
06:35You promise?
06:37Oh, God.
06:39Well, I guess...
06:41Now that I know there's something to know, I can't not know just because I'm afraid somebody will know I know.
06:47You know?
06:48Did that mean yes?
06:50Yeah.
06:52We're doing all this because I want you and the others to have everything you need at your fingertips.
06:59You see?
07:00I'm going back to England.
07:05You're...
07:06What?
07:08But you can't.
07:09You're Buffy's watcher.
07:13I mean, in a fired way, but...
07:16It's becoming quite obvious that Buffy doesn't need me anymore.
07:19I don't say that in a self-pitying way.
07:22I'm...
07:23Quite proud, actually.
07:27But what about the rest of us?
07:29We still need to be watched.
07:31Personally, I can't get through a day without a little hairy eyeball.
07:36I appreciate the sentiment, but it's just not so.
07:40You'll be fine.
07:42You all will.
07:44And, you know, we'll stay in touch.
07:46You can always, always call me whenever you like.
07:52When are you gonna tell Buffy?
07:55Soon.
07:57Yeah, it won't be easy, but...
08:00I know she'll understand.
08:04Thanks, Mom.
08:05Everything was yummy.
08:07Hey, you up for dessert?
08:08We could, um, take a drive, get some ice cream.
08:12You know, I would, but I kinda have to get out on patrol.
08:16Now?
08:17It's 8.30.
08:19Well, vams don't really care what time it is.
08:21You know, dark equals dinner bell.
08:24Right.
08:26Of course.
08:28You know, I'm gonna have to get used to this place without you again.
08:31It gets so quiet.
08:34You know, maybe we should make a regular day out of this when school starts.
08:40I'm sorry.
08:42Duty calls.
08:43It's a total drag.
08:44It's a total drag.
09:14Very impressive, Hunt.
09:44Such power.
09:51That was no Hunt.
09:53That was just another day on the job.
09:57Care to step up for some overtime?
10:00We're not going to fight.
10:04Do you know who the Slayer is?
10:06Do you?
10:12Who are you?
10:14I apologize.
10:16I assumed you knew.
10:19I'm Dracula.
10:25Get out!
10:27What if somebody had a secret and that somebody promised somebody else that they wouldn't tell anyone?
10:44Newsflash, Will. Everybody knows.
10:46No, this isn't about me and Tara.
10:51Oh. Well, not that I wouldn't be all ears if you wanted to tell me a secret about you two. Even if it was very, very naughty.
10:59Sorry. This is the non-naughty variety. And I'm not telling you.
11:03Okay.
11:05Want to see if Buffy's hanging around the headstones?
11:08Sure.
11:09So if I was going to tell you, which I'm not going to.
11:12So let me get this straight.
11:14You're Dracula. The guy. The Count.
11:22I am.
11:23And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? Because I've fought more than a couple pimply overweight vamps that call themselves Lestat.
11:33You know who I am. As I would know without question that you are Buffy Summers.
11:44You've heard of me.
11:46Naturally. You are known throughout the world.
11:54Nah. Really?
11:57Why else would I come here? For the sun?
12:02I came to meet the renowned killer.
12:09Yeah. I prefer the term slayer. You know, killer just sounds so...
12:13Naked?
12:15Like I paint clowns or something. I'm the good guy, remember?
12:23Perhaps. But your power is rooted in darkness. You must feel it.
12:30No. You know what I feel? Bored.
12:37Bored.
12:38Bored.
12:39Bored.
12:40Bored.
12:41Bored.
12:42Bored.
12:43Bored.
12:44Bored.
12:45Bored.
12:46Bored.
12:47Bored.
12:48okay that's cheating hey Bob what's up you look like you just get out of here
12:58now fine but I was gonna give you a sip of my double mint mocha but behind you
13:04hey nice look who's got a bad case of dark prince envy I have no interest in
13:16you leave us no we're not going to leave you and where'd you get that accent Sesame
13:25Street one two three three victims ma I'm pretty sure that's Dracula
13:36Wow really hey sorry man just joking around this is not the time I will see
13:51you soon
14:06Buffy's all look out and then freaking Dracula standing right behind us and then he lunges at us
14:15like motion he totally looked shorter in person I told you he'd heard of me right I mean can you
14:20believe that count famous heard of me I couldn't believe it the first 20 times you told us but it's
14:27starting to sink in now I'm sorry my rapido girl I was just blown away it's not that surprising that
14:35he's heard of you Buffy you are the Slayer I guess just the way he said it you know and he made it sound
14:43so sexy I bet he made it sound sexy kinda he of the dark penetrating eyes and lilty accent I wonder if
14:54he knows Frankenstein you thought Dracula was sexy oh no he he was yuck right except for the whole tall dark
15:06and handsome thing yucko how would you know well we hung out a few times back in my demon days you know
15:15once or twice it's pretty cool you know from from a whole evil thing perspective please he was no big
15:26whoop no big whoop what about that thing where he turned himself into a bath that was awesome it
15:32must have been yes I must have but I'm sorry I missed that me too the whole time I was thinking gosh I
15:41wish Giles were here he'd know what to do didn't you guys think that actually I was more thinking bat
15:51how come he can do that I have no idea there's a great deal of myth about Dracula I imagine the trick
16:01to defeating him lies in separating the fact from the fiction great point that is so Giles to think of
16:09something like something like that you know that that we would have never
16:16so we should take things slow with Dracula when he said that we would meet again but I would like to avoid that
16:22until we do some serious homework I don't know I mean you may have a bunch of swell party tricks but he's still just a
16:28vampire I said we load up with stakes and crossbows and go after him now second no Buffy's right Dracula's too slick to
16:35go for the usual stuff so we hold off no killing until we know exactly what we're dealing with you're not just saying
16:42that because of those dark penetrating eyes of his are you no his eyes were and they were there was no
16:51penetration across my heart all right um Willow uh you and Tara find out everything you can about the actual
17:01legend of Vlad the Impaler on the internet and I'll check the library the initiative was still around we'd be able to
17:09find everything on this guy in a few hours we may not be as fast but we'll find him you guys will reconvene here in the
17:15morning what's your plan big sleep my count encounter wipe me out I'm kind of wired now maybe I should just
17:28let you get your rest you sure I mean maybe if you just lie down with me nothing you are about to say
17:36will lead to rest I guess you're right I'll see you in the morning with doughnuts hmm heaven
17:50see a little sugar on a mile yours Dracula's macula I doubt he'd remember me it was just a silly young
17:59thing like 700 or so but he did say that this guy curse was doomed forever which was really sweet
18:07don't you think adorable it was a great spell it made this jerk incredibly fat like a human minivan
18:19mention my name you see him again or better yet why don't you just go sit on top of a crypt and flaunt
18:27your neck cleavage until Dracula shows up then you two can talk private please don't tell me you're
18:33jealous oh no just because you're panting over the guy I am not panting stop being silly see you tomorrow

22:03i'll tell you what
22:07that glory hound's done more harm to vampires than any slayer
22:11his story gets out and suddenly everybody knows how to kill us
22:16the mirror bit

22:19he has special powers right

24:48you
24:50you
24:52you
24:54You are magnificent
25:05I bet you say that before you bite all the girls
25:11No, you are different
25:14Kindred
25:17Kindred?
25:23Hardly
25:23Pull your hair back
25:24This isn't how I usually fight
25:36You can just waft in here with your music video wind and your hypno-eyes
25:48I have searched the world over for you
25:54I have yearned for you
25:59For a creature whose darkness rivals my own
26:06You have been tasted
26:14He was...
26:21Unworthy
26:21He let you go
26:31But the embrace
26:42His bite
26:45You remember?
26:51No
26:53Do not fight
27:04I can feel your hunger
27:13I have yearned for you
27:26It took us long to realize it
27:28You did not fry
27:29BJ
27:31Jon
27:33Yeah yeah, okay
28:05It's a jelly one.
28:24You want it?
28:25No.
28:26Got it.
28:27Got it.
28:27Mine.
28:27Mine.
28:30Well, I think we have Dracula factoids.
28:34Lucky him that's enough to fight the dark master.
28:40Bader.
28:41A lot of it we already knew.
28:43Turnoffs, wood, fire, crosses, garlic, turn-ons, nice duds, minions, long, slow bites that last for days.
28:53Yeah, I did a little research, too.
28:56Dracula likes to live in style, which means we can rule out the usual dumps vampires haunt.
29:01Ah!
29:03But he's smart enough to figure that we probably already know that.
29:05I'm guessing he's laying low.
29:07Actually, my research backs Riley up.
29:11Drac isn't the lay-low type.
29:13So we can check out the lights and places.
29:15Don't you think, Buffy?
29:21Buffy?
29:24Yeah, we'll check all the swanky places first.
29:28What else did you guys get?
29:31Well, Willow has my suit, actually.
29:35Only because you gave me super pointers.
29:38I would never...
29:38Just go ahead, Willow.
29:42Okay.
29:43Dracula's modus operandi is different from other vampires.
29:48He will kill just to feed, but he'd rather have a connection with his victims.
29:54And he has all these mental powers to draw them in.
29:58He can read and control minds and appear in dreams.
30:05Uh-huh.
30:05It makes sense.
30:08That stare...
30:10He just kind of looked right through you.
30:14Didn't you feel it, Buffy?
30:20No.
30:22No, I didn't.
30:24See?
30:26Buffy didn't feel it.
30:28I think you're drawing a lot of crazy conclusions about the unholy prince.
30:33Bader.
30:35The point is, though he goes through the motions of an intimate seduction,
30:41the end result is the same.
30:44He turns him into a vampire.
30:46Well, that is intimate.
30:50Dracula's gifting these ladies with his own blood.
30:55And blood.
30:58Blood is life.
30:59According to that.
31:05Um, just be aware that he tends to form a relationship with his prey.
31:12It's not enough for him to take her.
31:14She must want to be taken.
31:16She must burn for him.
31:18That's interesting.
31:21I'm going to go find him.
31:23You shouldn't go by yourself, Buffy.
31:25I mean, this guy's seriously dangerous.
31:27It's cool.
31:27I got it.
31:36Hey.
31:36Take off that scarf.
31:41What?
31:42No.
31:44You're under the thrall of the dark prince.
31:48I am not under the thrall of the dark prince.
31:52Then take off the scarf.
31:54Let go of me.
31:56This is ridiculous.
32:14Oh.
32:15Why didn't she say anything?
32:17Because she didn't want to worry us, right, Buffster?
32:19It's nothing.
32:19It's just a scratch.
32:21Two deep, punctury scratches.
32:26I'm not sure why I tried to hide it.
32:35There was just this voice, and it was telling me to cover it.
32:41Now, what'd I tell you?
32:42That's thrall.
32:44You're saying Dracula has some sort of freaking mind control over her?
32:48You're watching too many creature features, man.
32:50It does seem like he has this control over me.
32:54Even though a big part of me is resisting.
32:58No, it's okay.
32:59I shouldn't take this personally.
33:01I mean, well, with Angel, I mean, it's understandable that there would be transference.
33:07I mean, they're both broody immortals.
33:08I'm going to stay that way.
33:25Okay.
33:26But you are not going anywhere near him again.
33:30Um, Riley's right.
33:32You should stay out of sight.
33:33Let the rest of us look for Dracula.
33:35Well, I can't go home.
33:38I already got inside once.
33:40You can come over to my place.
33:41I'll make sure you stay put.
33:43Good.
33:44Um, Riley and I can, uh, can search for Dracula.
33:48And, Willow, you and Tara could, uh, do a protection spell at Buffy's house to prevent him from returning.
33:54Got it.
33:57How'd he get inside anyway?
33:59He seemed so nice and normal.
34:02A little pale.
34:04A good Sunnydale rule of thumb.
34:06Avoid white-skinned men in keeps.
34:08I'm not like this.
34:09I don't invite strange men over for coffee.
34:12It's just...
34:14Oh, when you girls are older, you'll understand.
34:17It's hard to date.
34:20Sometimes you just feel like giving up on men altogether.
34:34Another bust.
34:36And it's getting dark.
34:38I should have turned up with a lead.
34:40There must be an easy way to find him.
34:42Too late to worry about that now.
34:44If we hurry, we can hit these last places.
34:46How come I have to be here slayer-sitting while the other guys get to look for Dracula?
34:52I mean, just because I'm...
34:54What time is it?
34:57Almost six.
34:58Look, I mean, I'm the one who knows him.
35:00I'm the one who had a really good look at him.
35:02I mean, what?
35:03Hey!
35:03Hey!
35:04Hey!
35:05Hey!
35:05Hey!
35:06Hey!
35:06Hey!
35:06Hey!
35:08Hey!
35:09I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now.
35:13There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal.
35:14You cool with that?
35:19Take me to him.
35:21Come on, Dad!
35:22This is a fight!
35:23Master, I deliver the Slayer.
35:47See who you most desire.
35:49Sorry.
35:49So now comes the immortality, right?
35:56You do the thing and...
35:57Leave us.
35:59We must not be interrupted.
36:02You bet.
36:03I knew you'd come.
36:14Why?
36:17Because I'm under your thrall?
36:22Well, guess again, pal.
36:26Put the stake down.
36:27Okay.
36:28Okay.
36:28Right.
36:36That...
36:37Was not you.
36:40I did that.
36:42I did that because...
36:44I wanted to.
36:49Maybe I should rethink that thrall thing.
36:52Hmm.
36:52Hmm.
36:53Hmm.
36:55I've lived in Sunnydale a couple of years now.
37:08Know what I've never noticed before?
37:09Uh, our castle?
37:11Big honking castle.
37:13It's fine.
37:14Hmm.

37:55Slayer, that's why you came.
37:59No.

38:07Stop me.
38:10Mistake me.
38:12Uh, any minute now.
38:15Do you know why you cannot resist?
38:20Because you're famous?
38:22Because you do not want to.
38:28My friends are...
38:29They're here.
38:32They will not find us.
38:35We are alone.
38:41Always alone.

38:52Your history.
38:54Your power.
38:56What your body is capable of.

43:27You know, I really think the thrall has gone out of our relationship.
43:34But I want to thank you for opening up my eyes a little.
43:38What is this?
43:40My true nature.
43:43You want taste?
43:57Buffy, are you in?
44:07Giles! Giles!
44:14Come on! Come on! Grab my hand!
44:16Thank God you came.
44:18Come on!
44:19There's no possible escape.
44:27Oh, my shoe.
44:36Silly me, I'll just pop it.
44:38No, no, no, sir. No more chickpeas for you. Come on.
44:57No, no, no, sir.
45:27You should think about going electric. Seriously.
45:48How do you like my darkness now?
45:50Buffy.
46:09You okay?
46:11Yeah.
46:13Chock full of free will.
46:15And Dracula?
46:16You're all trashed.
46:22Where is he?
46:23Where's the creep that turned me into a spider-eating man bitch?
46:27He's gone.
46:29Damn it!
46:30You know what?
46:32I'm sick of this crap.
46:34I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis.
46:37As of this moment, it's over.
46:43I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey.
46:48Check.
46:49No more butt monkey.
46:51It could have been worse.
46:52At least you weren't making time with the Dracubabes like Giles here.
46:55Now, it was not making time.
46:57I was just about to kill those loathsome creatures when Riley interrupted me.
47:02Really?
47:03You were going to nuzzle them to death?
47:07Of course not.
47:08I was in complete control.
47:12You think I don't watch your movies?
47:37You always come back.
47:42I'm standing right here.
47:55You wanted to see me?
47:57Yes.
47:58Thanks for coming.
48:00Can I have you some tea?
48:02Oh, no, thanks.
48:04Oh, cookies.
48:07How come I write little cookie treatment?
48:09Well, actually, I have something to tell you.
48:15Actually, I have something that I'd like to talk to you about, too.
48:19Oh, well, you go first, by all means.
48:21No, go ahead.
48:23No, insist.
48:24You haven't been my watcher for a while.
48:35I haven't been training.
48:39And I haven't really needed to come to you for help.
48:45I agree.
48:46And then this whole thing with Dracula, it made me face up to some stuff.
48:58Ever since we did that spell where we called on the First Slayer,
49:08I've been going out a lot.
49:14Every night.
49:17But truly?
49:19Hunting.
49:20That's what Dracula called it.
49:25And he was right.
49:29He understood my power better than I do.
49:34He saw darkness in it.
49:41I need to know more.
49:44About where I come from.
49:46About the other Slayers.
49:49I mean, maybe, maybe if I can learn to control this thing,
49:53I could be stronger.
49:56I could be better.
49:59But I'm scared.
50:04I know it's gonna be hard.
50:08And I can't do it without you.
50:15I need your help.
50:19I need you to be my watcher again.
50:31Boy, I just, I just keep talking, don't I?
50:35I'm sorry, you, you had something you wanted to say.
50:37No.
50:43No, it's nothing.
50:57I'm out of here.
50:58Riley and I are going to the movies.
51:00Okay.
51:00Have a good time.
51:01What are you doing here?
51:12Buffy?
51:13If you're going out, why don't you take your sister?
