00:11:07,185 --> 00:11:09,858
Man's gotta stay focused
on profit margins and power lunches.
170
00:11:10,025 --> 00:11:11,936
HARMONY: Angel...
- I've got a business to run.
171
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,141
That means responsibilities,
appointments...
172
00:11:14,305 --> 00:11:16,614
- That was your 3:00.
- That...
173
00:11:23,145 --> 00:11:25,136
I'm meeting with Grox'lars?
174
00:11:25,305 --> 00:11:28,024
- They eat babies.
- Just their heads.
175
00:11:28,185 --> 00:11:31,416
- You were supposed to open negotiations.
- Negotiations for what?
176
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,934
Get them to stop eating baby heads.
177
00:11:34,105 --> 00:11:36,938
Oh. So that's good.
178
00:11:37,505 --> 00:11:39,860
Oh. So this is bad.
179
00:11:40,025 --> 00:11:44,064
No, actually the Grox'lar Clan respects
someone who takes a strong position.
180
00:11:44,225 --> 00:11:46,455
They didn't just jack me
up here with human laws.
181
00:11:46,625 --> 00:11:48,695
Also demon laws from every dimension.
182
00:11:48,905 --> 00:11:53,660
Probably should've briefed you about the
Grox'lar, but we got a little sidetracked.
183
00:11:55,265 --> 00:11:57,984
I've been implementing our reforms,
mostly staff overhaul.
184
00:11:58,145 --> 00:12:00,454
I fired 40 employees
in the past two days.

- As expected.
186
00:12:02,385 --> 00:12:05,024
Anger, tears, venomous death threats.

00:12:05,185 --> 00:12:07,938
Listen, I know I was
a little crabby before.
188
00:12:08,105 --> 00:12:11,495
I mean, hello. A little awkward
seeing you at my work.
189

- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't care.

00:12:43,145 --> 00:12:45,181
We're ruffling a lot of
dangerous feathers.
199
00:12:45,345 --> 00:12:47,017
There's gonna be a backlash.
200
00:12:47,225 --> 00:12:49,295
Well, we'll just have to
ride out the ripples.
201
00:12:50,065 --> 00:12:51,896
I'm sensing a ripple on its way now.
202
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,539
- Yes?
- Novac, sir.
203
00:12:54,705 --> 00:12:57,822
What's this about shutting down
the Internment Acquisitions Division?
204
00:12:58,545 --> 00:13:00,661
- Internment Acqui...?
- Grave robbing.

00:13:01,105 --> 00:13:04,336
I know you fellows are in charge now,
and you're doing a bang-up job.

I'm with you 110 percent.
207
00:13:06,305 --> 00:13:08,694
But that department brings
in mucho revenue.
208
00:13:08,905 --> 00:13:11,783
Well, we'll just have to tighten
our belts and do without.
209
00:13:11,985 --> 00:13:13,941
No, you're not getting it.
210
00:13:14,945 --> 00:13:16,901
Sir.
211
00:13:17,345 --> 00:13:21,657
IAD is under contract to provide
fresh bodies to Magnus Hainsley.
212
00:13:22,105 --> 00:13:24,494
You know who he is, right?
213
00:13:27,305 --> 00:13:29,614
Okay. He's one of our oldest clients.
214
00:13:29,785 --> 00:13:35,257
Big potatoes. We stop delivering,
and he is not gonna be thrilled.
215
00:13:35,465 --> 00:13:39,174
Then he's not gonna like it when you
advise him that he's no longer our client.
216
00:13:39,945 --> 00:13:42,015
- Me?
- You got it, counselor.
217
00:13:42,185 --> 00:13:44,415
- You tell Mr...
- Hainsley.
218
00:13:44,585 --> 00:13:48,214
...Hainsley that Wolfram & Hart
is under new management...
219
00:13:48,385 --> 00:13:50,501
...and out of the grave-robbing business.
220
00:13:50,665 --> 00:13:53,816
Now, run along and go argue your case.
221
00:13:54,705 --> 00:13:57,173
- Me?
- Go.
222
00:14:00,625 --> 00:14:03,583
- You don't have to take that from him.
- Stay out of this, Spike.
223
00:14:03,785 --> 00:14:06,345
- You don't work here.
- Damn right I don't.
224
00:14:06,505 --> 00:14:09,224
Look at you. This is what
you do now?
225
00:14:09,425 --> 00:14:13,134
Delegate the dirty work to spineless,
low-level flunkies? No offense.
226

The mighty hero,
reduced to a bloody bureaucrat.
227

- Get out of here, Spike.

Cruel enough punishment

...as a spook while you play
chairman of the boring.

in your stinking city. Get stuffed.

Could've been me, Wes.
235
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:01,862
It was supposed to be me.

- What, about Spike?

That's not...
238
00:15:10,505 --> 00:15:13,781
Wolfram & Hart gave me the amulet.
239
00:15:14,025 --> 00:15:15,856
They must have expected me to use it...
240
00:15:16,265 --> 00:15:18,904
...and they had to have known
it would do what it did.
241

Why bother handing you
the keys to the kingdom?
242
00:15:21,505 --> 00:15:23,143
It doesn't make sense.
243

- What are the senior partners playing at?
- Maybe dissent in their ranks.
244
00:15:26,825 --> 00:15:30,613
Maybe there's another player in the game
they, and we, don't know anything about.
245
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:35,463
Then again, maybe they got
exactly what they were after.
246
00:15:36,745 --> 00:15:38,622
- Spike.
- He may be the one they...
247
00:15:38,825 --> 00:15:41,214
What are you doing here?
I thought you left town.
248

Don't think I didn't bleeding try.
249

Every time I got as far as city limits,
I kept popping back here.
250

Like my insides were getting yanked.
251
00:15:49,505 --> 00:15:52,656
I suspected as much. The amulet's
Wolfram & Hart's property.
252
00:15:52,825 --> 00:15:55,385
It's bound to this place.
Since Spike's connected to it...

Hey, I'm nobody's blood property, Percy.

sent over to dump the client?

Got word you wanted
the file on Magnus Hainsley.
270
00:17:02,825 --> 00:17:05,942
He's a sorcerer, big-time.
Rich with old money and older mojo.
271
00:17:06,105 --> 00:17:10,064
Owns a block of shares in Wolfram &
Hart and he's connected up the wazoo.

Influence with players in
the entertainment industry, politics.
273
00:17:13,345 --> 00:17:15,461
- He's a necromancer.
- Power over the dead.
274
00:17:15,625 --> 00:17:18,344
That explains the bodies
Wolfram & Hart's been providing.

Guess he's been, what do you call it?
Downsized.
279

It's a message from Magnus Hainsley.

And I'm going to reply to it personally.

- You can't take Hainsley on yourself.
- I'm not going to risk somebody else.

You've got a multibillion-dollar
company at your disposal...

...with armed and trained personnel.
- They cramp my style.
284
00:17:44,905 --> 00:17:47,465
WESLEY: Your style's not going to cut
it with a necromancer.
285
00:17:47,625 --> 00:17:51,220
We should probably avoid
an eye-for-an-eye escalation here.

Mr. Hainsley is with a customer

I'm afraid he does not suffer
interruption lightly.

relationship to double-cross you.
499
00:31:33,105 --> 00:31:34,857
Tempting.
500
00:31:35,025 --> 00:31:38,176
- And what'd you say?
- You see, right there. That's the problem.
501
00:31:38,345 --> 00:31:39,903
You having to ask me that.
502
00:31:40,065 --> 00:31:43,774
I don't play for that side anymore,
or haven't you heard?
503
00:31:43,945 --> 00:31:46,459
Besides, even if Mr. Death
could do what he promised...
504
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:49,537
...I trust him about as much
as you trust me.
505
00:31:50,305 --> 00:31:51,818
What do you want from me?
506
00:31:55,305 --> 00:31:56,943
I can't live like this, Angel.
507
00:31:58,985 --> 00:32:01,101
Being useless.
508
00:32:02,265 --> 00:32:04,381
Being nothing.
509
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,502
I want it to end.
510
00:32:31,465 --> 00:32:33,183
I suppose this'll do.
511
00:32:33,345 --> 00:32:35,813
Feels hallowed enough.
512
00:32:39,825 --> 00:32:42,578
- Sure you want to do this, Spike?
- What?
513
00:32:42,745 --> 00:32:46,260
Think I could really stand hanging out
with you and your lot now and forever?
514
00:32:46,425 --> 00:32:48,222
Wise-cracking ghost sidekick.
515
00:32:48,385 --> 00:32:49,659
No, bloody thanks.
516
00:32:51,185 --> 00:32:54,336
Come on. You know as well as I do,
it's for the best.
517
00:32:57,345 --> 00:32:58,619
I'm glad it's you, though...
518
00:32:59,105 --> 00:33:00,777
...finally doing me in.
519
00:33:00,945 --> 00:33:03,857
Feels right, you being
my grandsire and all.
520
00:33:05,945 --> 00:33:08,175
Circle of death, eh?
521
00:33:09,905 --> 00:33:13,056
- Goodbye, Spike.
- See you around, Angel.
522
00:33:16,785 --> 00:33:18,821
I think you missed.
523
00:33:20,305 --> 00:33:23,741
[GROANING]
524
00:33:24,105 --> 00:33:29,225
And the dead shall rise!
Just because I say so.
525
00:33:29,665 --> 00:33:32,133
- Hainsley.
- Vampires should think twice...
526
00:33:32,305 --> 00:33:37,060
...before messing with a man who wields
power over all things lifeless.
527
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:43,418
If you ask my advice.
528
00:33:43,985 --> 00:33:46,340
Took your sweet time
stepping in, Hainsley.
529
00:33:46,505 --> 00:33:48,780
I was close to getting
a trip to the great beyond.
530
00:33:48,945 --> 00:33:52,460
Relax, son. I wasn't going to
let anything happen to you.
531
00:33:52,665 --> 00:33:54,815
You're the linchpin of my plan.
532
00:33:54,985 --> 00:33:56,384
Our plan.
533
00:33:58,105 --> 00:34:00,061
And you'd better hold up your end of it.
534
00:34:00,225 --> 00:34:02,898
- I'm not going to be used by you.
- Yes, you are.
535
00:34:03,705 --> 00:34:07,300
But afterwards, I'll give you
your reward, just as you asked.
536
00:34:07,465 --> 00:34:12,141
I'll put you back in the driver's seat
of your afterlife.
537
00:34:12,745 --> 00:34:14,098
Control.
538
00:34:14,865 --> 00:34:19,541
That's all anyone really wants,
isn't it?
539
00:34:30,105 --> 00:34:32,221
Hello, vampire.
540
00:34:32,385 --> 00:34:33,784
Have a nice nap?
541
00:34:33,985 --> 00:34:37,375
No. Don't get up.
You've had a rough day.
542
00:34:37,985 --> 00:34:41,261
You know, so have I, thanks to you.
543
00:34:41,465 --> 00:34:43,581
Yours is about to get
a hell of a lot worse.
544
00:34:43,745 --> 00:34:47,260
I don't think so. Me, necromancer.
545
00:34:47,425 --> 00:34:49,017
You, dead.
546
00:34:50,385 --> 00:34:52,853
- You can't lay a finger on me.
- Maybe not.
547
00:34:53,025 --> 00:34:56,017
But what do you think the
senior partners are gonna do to you...
548
00:34:56,225 --> 00:34:59,342
...when I turn up missing?
- You're not going to be missing.
549
00:34:59,505 --> 00:35:03,214
You'll show up to work bright-eyed
and bushy-tailed tomorrow morning.
550
00:35:03,505 --> 00:35:06,577
When you reverse the seizure
of my personal assets...
551
00:35:06,785 --> 00:35:10,141
...and reinstate the
Internment Acquisitions Department.
552
00:35:10,425 --> 00:35:12,939
- And why would I do that?
SPIKE: Not you.
553
00:35:14,385 --> 00:35:16,103
Me.
554
00:35:16,825 --> 00:35:19,214
Wearing your body.
555
00:35:19,905 --> 00:35:21,896
And to think I didn't trust you.
556
00:35:22,785 --> 00:35:24,503
Come on, Angel.
557
00:35:24,665 --> 00:35:26,144
What choice did I have?
558
00:35:26,305 --> 00:35:27,738
Bloody exorcism?
559
00:35:27,905 --> 00:35:30,703
Letting you and yours banish me
to oblivion? No, thanks.
560
00:35:32,505 --> 00:35:36,817
Necro here is gonna give me my body
back after I take yours for a test drive.
561
00:35:37,025 --> 00:35:38,777
Fix his little problems.
562
00:35:38,985 --> 00:35:40,782
And here's the kicker.
563
00:35:40,945 --> 00:35:45,382
I go in, and you go...
564
00:35:45,585 --> 00:35:47,541
Off to Never-Never-Come-Back Land.
565
00:35:48,705 --> 00:35:51,936
And then yours very truly
will be running the show.
566
00:35:52,305 --> 00:35:55,138
Your cars, your fancy digs, everything...
567
00:35:55,305 --> 00:36:00,140
...everyone I deserve will be mine.
568
00:36:00,665 --> 00:36:03,975
And maybe I'll have a go
with that Fred.
569
00:36:04,185 --> 00:36:05,618
She looks like a goer.
570
00:36:05,825 --> 00:36:08,339
- And she seems to really look up to you.
- Shut up.
571
00:36:09,585 --> 00:36:12,338
You know what? You're right.
572
00:36:12,505 --> 00:36:14,302
Enough talk.
573
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:18,259
Let's do this already.
I'm itching to get physical.
574
00:36:19,185 --> 00:36:23,463
I've never installed anyone
in a conscious dead body before.
575
00:36:23,745 --> 00:36:26,623
I imagine this is going to be
extremely painful.

- Spike.
- No.

No!
581
00:37:23,105 --> 00:37:24,902
I can touch you now, Hainsley.

But your ghost can't control me for long.

I hold the power. I rule the dead.
586
00:37:41,105 --> 00:37:42,982
Not today.
587

Oh, bollocks.
588
00:38:07,225 --> 00:38:09,181
I was just getting warmed up.
589
00:38:09,745 --> 00:38:11,224
That was you hitting me?
590
00:38:11,425 --> 00:38:14,417
That last bit, yeah. Hains has
been dead since he hit the table.
591
00:38:16,105 --> 00:38:19,222
Oh, come on. Had to get
a few licks in, didn't I?
592
00:38:31,385 --> 00:38:32,738
Spike came to you with this.
593
00:38:32,905 --> 00:38:36,261
Once he learned Hainsley used himself
as a conduit for body transfers...
594
00:38:36,425 --> 00:38:39,144
...our trap fell into place.
- A bit reckless.
595
00:38:40,265 --> 00:38:44,941
If Spike's sticking around, it'd be prudent
to share his plans with the rest of us.
596
00:38:45,145 --> 00:38:47,500
Yeah, sharing's not something
Spike does very well.

Can I help you?

Well, that's the heart of it, isn't it?

You figure things out in that cute
little noggin of yours.

00:39:49,505 --> 00:39:51,541

What...?

00:39:56,425 --> 00:39:58,302
Is there something...?

I don't want to go.
616
00:40:08,625 --> 00:40:10,263
But it's like...
617
00:40:10,425 --> 00:40:15,135
It's like the ground underneath me
is splitting open...
618
00:40:15,305 --> 00:40:20,254
...and my legs are straddling both
sides of this bloody big chasm.
619
00:40:20,425 --> 00:40:23,622
It's getting wider, pulling me in.
620

Is that...?
621
00:40:27,785 --> 00:40:30,777
Is that what's happening
when you keep vanishing?

Where it's trying to take me.
624
00:40:42,025 --> 00:40:44,414
And it's not the place heroes go.
625
00:40:44,585 --> 00:40:47,338
Not by a bloody long shot.

It's the other one.
627
00:40:50,665 --> 00:40:54,544
Full of fire and torment.
628
00:40:56,545 --> 00:40:58,740
And it's happening.
629
00:41:00,065 --> 00:41:02,420
