All I can tell you is his very existence
is disrupting the order of things.

00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:53,374
No argument here.

172
00:10:53,545 --> 00:10:58,175
There were already two souled vampires
before Spike fried. Why now?

173
00:10:58,345 --> 00:11:02,054
Key word here is "champion."
Spike gave his life to save the world.

174
00:11:02,265 --> 00:11:03,698
That gives him the cred.

175
00:11:03,905 --> 00:11:07,136
But when he died and became a ghost,
case closed.

I was working on recorporealizing Spike,
you never mentioned...

00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:28,104
Hey, I would've said something if I'd
known. My universe too, you know.

00:11:30,305 --> 00:11:33,342
How'd you pull it off, by the way,
bringing Spike back?

00:11:35,785 --> 00:11:39,334
You guys did do it, right?

183
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:41,776
Something came in the mail for him.

184
00:11:41,945 --> 00:11:44,061
The mail? Like the amulet.

185
00:11:45,665 --> 00:11:49,021
Yeah. Never did find out who sent it.

186
00:11:49,225 --> 00:11:50,738

has been stripped away.

metaphor to you people.

Don't have a choice. If it's there,
I have to accept...

...the prophecy's real,
and hope that it stops this madness.

00:32:29,265 --> 00:32:33,019
- You're gonna be okay, just...
- You don't have to pretend to care.

504
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:36,895
- What?
- Come on, Fred.

505
00:32:38,425 --> 00:32:40,177
I know what you think of me.

506
00:32:42,865 --> 00:32:45,015
What you all...

507
00:32:45,865 --> 00:32:50,655
Look, what Charles said
about us thinking you're behind...

508
00:32:50,825 --> 00:32:53,020
...you know, everything.

509
00:32:53,865 --> 00:32:56,504
He was under the effects...

510
00:32:58,025 --> 00:32:59,697
Eve.

511
00:33:03,865 --> 00:33:06,140
I'm not the bad guy.

512
00:33:14,545 --> 00:33:15,944
How's it feel?

513
00:33:17,545 --> 00:33:19,422
- Ah!
- You tell me.

514
00:33:40,225 --> 00:33:42,420
I probably should've dusted you...

515
00:33:42,585 --> 00:33:47,056
...but honestly, I don't wanna
hear her bitch about it.

516
00:33:52,385 --> 00:33:55,343
ANGEL:
Spike, wait, wait.

517
00:33:57,545 --> 00:34:00,105
That's not a prize you're holding.

518
00:34:01,585 --> 00:34:03,541
It's not a trophy.

519
00:34:05,545 --> 00:34:07,501
It's a burden.

520
00:34:09,585 --> 00:34:11,382
It's a cross.

521
00:34:12,105 --> 00:34:16,098
One you're gonna have to bear
till it burns you to ashes.

522
00:34:16,545 --> 00:34:19,855
Believe me. I know.

523
00:34:24,265 --> 00:34:26,381
So ask yourself...

524
00:34:26,945 --> 00:34:29,937
...is this really the destiny
that was meant for you?

525
00:34:30,625 --> 00:34:32,855
Do you even really want it?

526
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:36,742
Or is it that you just wanna
take something away from me?

527
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:42,343
Bit of both.

528
00:34:43,105 --> 00:34:45,061
Spike!

529
00:34:54,385 --> 00:34:55,977
It's...

530
00:34:59,145 --> 00:35:01,136
...Mountain Dew.

531
00:35:24,225 --> 00:35:27,058
Angel. God, what happened?

532
00:35:27,225 --> 00:35:30,023
I fell down some stairs.

533
00:35:32,385 --> 00:35:34,137
Big stairs. Gunn.

534
00:35:34,345 --> 00:35:37,178
We've tried everything.
Medical, mystical. Nothing stops it.

535
00:35:37,345 --> 00:35:38,937
- Still going on?
- And getting worse.

536
00:35:39,105 --> 00:35:40,538
What about the cup? Did you...?

537
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:43,265
- A fake. Somebody set us up.
- What? Who?

538
00:35:43,465 --> 00:35:45,137
I don't know. Sirk sent us there.

539
00:35:45,305 --> 00:35:46,784
- Maybe he's...
SPIKE: Gone.

540
00:35:46,945 --> 00:35:49,505
Cleaned out his office
and pulled a puff of smoke.

541
00:35:50,585 --> 00:35:52,143
Stairs, huh?

542
00:35:53,865 --> 00:35:56,743
Sirk's gone, the cup is a fake,
but the madness is real.

543
00:35:56,905 --> 00:35:58,497
What are we gonna do about it?

544
00:35:58,705 --> 00:36:01,822
- I say we start by untying the brother.
- Charles...

545
00:36:05,825 --> 00:36:07,895
Am I in trouble?

546
00:36:11,985 --> 00:36:13,657
GUNN:
Hey.

547
00:36:14,985 --> 00:36:16,577
What the hell happened?

548
00:36:16,785 --> 00:36:18,218
Senior partners stepped in.

549
00:36:18,385 --> 00:36:20,979
They were working
on the problem since it started.

550
00:36:21,185 --> 00:36:24,894
They managed to temporarily
stabilize the universal equilibrium.

551
00:36:25,105 --> 00:36:26,504
Temporarily.

552
00:36:26,665 --> 00:36:27,984
For how long?

553
00:36:28,145 --> 00:36:31,262
What about Sirk and this fantasy
he fed us about the cup?

554
00:36:31,465 --> 00:36:34,184
Partners don't know about it.
They're as angry as you.

555
00:36:34,425 --> 00:36:35,778
I really doubt that.

556
00:36:36,425 --> 00:36:39,497
Don't worry, Angel.
Sirk can't hide for long.

557
00:36:39,665 --> 00:36:42,702
We'll bring him in,
find out who put him up to it.

558
00:36:43,665 --> 00:36:46,862
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go home and ice my neck.

559
00:36:47,825 --> 00:36:49,941
Eve.

560
00:36:52,105 --> 00:36:53,777
Listen.

561
00:36:53,945 --> 00:36:56,505
- I'm really...
- Don't sweat it, counselor.

562
00:36:56,825 --> 00:36:58,781
You'll have other things
to worry about.

563
00:36:59,225 --> 00:37:01,580
The whole Shanshu thing's
still unresolved.

564
00:37:01,865 --> 00:37:03,696
Still two vampires with souls.

565
00:37:05,625 --> 00:37:07,502
Guess that's a question
for another day.

566
00:37:09,785 --> 00:37:12,618
Any more days like today,
and there won't be another day.

567
00:37:12,785 --> 00:37:15,015
Yeah, well...

568
00:37:15,185 --> 00:37:16,982
Meantime...

569
00:37:17,145 --> 00:37:20,820
...this souled ex-ghost vampire's
got corporeal drinking to catch up on.

570
00:37:20,985 --> 00:37:23,340
What do you say, Charlie?
Feel like getting pissed?

571
00:37:23,505 --> 00:37:25,700
GUNN:
No, my head feels like it'll split open...

572
00:37:25,905 --> 00:37:28,544
...and toss my toys and candy
all over the floor.

573
00:37:29,025 --> 00:37:32,415
You're way ahead of me.
Fair enough.

574
00:37:33,865 --> 00:37:35,776
Maybe you should have Fred
check you out.

575
00:37:35,945 --> 00:37:38,505
No, she'll just want
to strap me down again.

576
00:37:39,825 --> 00:37:41,702
You okay?

577
00:37:43,225 --> 00:37:45,102
I don't know.

578
00:37:47,865 --> 00:37:50,060
He beat me, Gunn.

579
00:37:50,225 --> 00:37:52,693
Who, Spike?
Looks like he got as good as he...

580
00:37:52,865 --> 00:37:55,698
No. He beat me to the cup.

581
00:37:55,905 --> 00:37:59,022
You mean the fake cup?
The make-believe, fairy tale cup?

582
00:37:59,185 --> 00:38:01,779
- So what?
- No, you don't...

583
00:38:05,145 --> 00:38:07,375
He won the fight, Gunn.

584
00:38:08,025 --> 00:38:09,504
For the first time.

585
00:38:10,265 --> 00:38:13,257
Doesn't matter
if the cup was real or not.

586
00:38:14,585 --> 00:38:16,974
In the end, he...

587
00:38:17,865 --> 00:38:20,504
Spike was stronger.

588
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:22,781
He wanted it more.

589
00:38:24,825 --> 00:38:28,500
Angel, it doesn't mean anything.

590
00:38:30,625 --> 00:38:32,456
What if it does?

591
00:38:33,065 --> 00:38:35,021
What if it means...

592
00:38:36,825 --> 00:38:38,656
...I'm not the one?

593
00:39:02,065 --> 00:39:06,183
EVE: You know, funny thing about
throwing the universe out of whack?

594
00:39:06,345 --> 00:39:09,178
Not as fun as it sounds.

595
00:39:09,745 --> 00:39:13,818
On the plus side, they totally fell
for the "cup of torment" thing...

596
00:39:13,985 --> 00:39:16,738
...just like you thought they would.

597
00:39:18,545 --> 00:39:22,902
Now Mr. Sirk pulled off
his vanishing act without a hitch...

598
00:39:23,065 --> 00:39:26,421
...right under
the senior partners' noses.

599
00:39:32,145 --> 00:39:36,582
And you might be happy to know,
Team Angel is on red alert.

600
00:39:36,745 --> 00:39:41,341
Could be they think the partners just
fired a warning shot across their bow.

601
00:39:41,505 --> 00:39:44,258
Oh. And by the way...

602
00:39:44,425 --> 00:39:49,943
...Spike didn't kill Angel, but they did
beat each other to bloody pulps.

603
00:39:56,345 --> 00:39:58,017
Well...

604
00:39:59,225 --> 00:40:01,261
...it's a start.
