(Wesley grimly plays darts at a pub)

COLLINS: Hello, Wesley.

(later, they're sitting at a table)

COLLINS: So, Los Angeles.

WESLEY: California.

(Collins lights his cigarette anyway)

COLLINS: Who would have predicted this is where you'd end up.

WESLEY: Well, it seemed as good a place as any to re-evaluate my situation after being asked to resign my position with the Council. And the weather... I find it... dry.

WEATHERBY: Wouldn't cough up the dosh for the airfare home, would they?

WESLEY: No, they wouldn't.

SMITH: All those alchemists on the board of directors and they still make us fly coach. Miserly bastards.

COLLINS: A frugal lot, to be sure, but not stupid. And I think you'll find, willing to admit when they've made a mistake.

WESLEY: Made a mistake?

COLLINS: How would you like to come home, Wesley? Back to England with us.

WESLEY: Home?

COLLINS: The Council is willing to reinstate you - return you to your rightful position as Watcher. That was a nasty business back in Sunnydale, but nobody blames you.

WESLEY: Really? Because I rather got the impression they did when they sacked me.

COLLINS: As I said, a mistake. One that can now be corrected, with your help. (hands Wes a picture of Faith) We know where she is and we know you have access to her.

WESLEY: No. I couldn't possibly.

WEATHERBY: Loyalty to a vampire now, is it?

COLLINS: It's alright. That's not why we're here. A rogue Slayer, Wesley. Far more dangerous than any single vampire. Surely *you* understand that.

WESLEY: All too well.

COLLINS: Then you'll help us?

WESLEY: Why come to me? You know where she is, why not take her yourselves? You three are the best, the Council's elite (realizes, smiles) she cleaned your clocks, didn't she?

COLLINS: She's betrayed her calling, Council, you. She has power and the willingness to use that power for evil. She must be stopped.
