BUFFY: OK. Set up a perimeter. Guard the door. I don't want anything getting in behind us. My team goes in first, we check the place out. You guys are our safety-net. If this place is a trap, we give the signal, you guys come in, guns a-blazing.

XANDER: So, what's the signal?

BUFFY: I'm thinking lots and lots of yelling.

XANDER: Got it.

BUFFY: Shall we?

(inside)

MOLLY: What is this place?

BUFFY: Looks like an old vineyard.

KENNEDY: An evil vineyard, huh?

SPIKE: Like Falcon Crest.

BUFFY: Stay alert, you guys. Bringers are here somewhere. Just need to find out where.

SPIKE: Shouldn't be too hard.

(Bringers attack)

CALEB: Well, now, you girls are just burning with righteousness, aren't you? Problem is, you think you're blazing like suns, when really you're burning like matchsticks in the face of the darkness. You having fun? Now, I hope my boys haven't worn you out too much?I need you fit for when I purify you.

BUFFY: Save the sermon, padre. I heard you have something of mine.

CALEB: Well, I do now. You liked my little message, did you? You know, I ruined a perfectly good knife on that girl. Got her soiled blood all over the place. I may have to get a new truck. So, you're the slayer. The slayer. The strongest, the fastest, the most aflame with that most precious invention of all mankind?the notion of goodness. The slayer must indeed be powerful. (sends her flying) So, what else you got?

(Spike attacks, gets sent flying)

KENNEDY: Let's go!

(free-for-all)

RONA: Kennedy!

CALEB: (to Rona) Miss, I do believe you have your own problems you should be worrying about.

(breaks her arm; Faith, Xander & rest of 2nd wave charge in)

CALEB: Oh, good. There's more of you.

XANDER: Buffy!

CALEB: (to Faith) Well, you're the other one, aren't you. Your Cain to her Abel. No offense meant to Cain, of course. (they fight)

FAITH: Never was much for the good book.

CALEB: Oh, it has its moments. Paul had some good stuff, for instance. But overall I find it a tad complicated . I like to keep things simple. (sends Faith flying) Good folk, bad folk, clean folk, dirty folk... (kills a potential)

MOLLY: No...!

CALEB: Yes.

BUFFY: (weakly) Xander, get them out of here. We have to retreat. Do it.

CALEB: (to Molly) What can I say? I work in mysterious ways. (stabs Molly, drops her) Also some fairly straightforward ones.

(Buffy charges Caleb)

SPIKE: (to Buffy) We're all leaving.

XANDER: (to Kennedy) Are you OK? Let's go. Come on. (waving to the others) Let's go! Come on!

CALEB: (grabbing Xander) You're the one who sees everything, aren't you? Well, let's see what we can't do about that. (Gouges out his left eye; Spike knocks him away from Xander)

BUFFY: Xander! Come on.

(Buffy & Spike carry Xander out)
