GILES: Oh. 'Two Children Found Dead. Mysterious Mark...' No. No. These children were found near Omaha in 1949.

XANDER: Yeah, they ain't ours. Keep going.

BUFFY: Wait.

WILLOW: Those are...

BUFFY: ...the same kids.

GILES: Fifty years ago.

OZ: '1899. Utah... Two Children... Rural Community Torn Apart by Suspicion.'

GILES: (confused) A hundred years ago? How is this possible?

OZ: There's no mention of who they were.

BUFFY: They've never been seen alive, just dead. A lot.

OZ: Ah. There were more articles. Every fifty years. All the same.

GILES: (intrigued) From as far back as 1649. Can I see that?

GILES: Written by a cleric from a village near the Black Forest. He... found the bodies himself. Two children... Greta Strauss, age six. Hans Strauss, eight.

XANDER: So they have names. That's new.
