TEXT: <unk> Prologue <unk> Fade in. Close up of a wide-screen monitor. A white-haired man in a suit is sitting behind a desk. The office he's in is dark and the reflection of Colonel McNamara is seen on the glass of the monitor. Mr. Ward: And the men? McNamara: These are exceptional boys. Their capture ratio just keeps increasing. *They're* keeping it together. Morale's a problem. The death of Professor Walsh. The escape of the prototype. Controlling the HSTs is getting harder. We have serious overcrowding in the containment areas. As he spoke, the camera has slowly panned away from the monitor to the Colonel. We can see he is standing in some kind of communications center in the Initiative. There is a large world map on one wall. He is the only one there. Mr. Ward: Quite a mess. McNamara: It's not my mess, sir. I'm just holding the fort while you figure out what you want to do with the place. Mr. Ward: This incident with Finn was unfortunate. McNamara: Fell in with a bad crowd. Quite frankly, I don't think he was ever the soldier that you all hoped he was. Boy thinks too much. Mr. Ward: Nevertheless, we want him back. The government's invested a sub-- McNamara: We'll catch up to him. My feeling is.. he won't stray too far from the girl. Mr. Ward: Yes, uh... (puts on reading glasses to look at something on his desk) Buffy Summers. (removes glasses) Our data banks don't have much on her. McNamara: She's just a girl. Cut to-- Spike: (sighs) She's a lot more than that. He is in a chamber underground, in the sewers. Light reflecting off water is shimmering on the wall behind him as he walks across the room. Spike: The Slayer's dangerous is all I'm saying. Camera tracks Spike until we see Adam standing
SUMMARY:
Riley spars with Angel ( David Boreanaz ) when Angel visits Sunnydale; Adam convinces Spike that he will take his chip out if he helps him get Buffy where he wants, Spike agrees and sets out to distance the Scoobies from each other.
