We have to. Sarandis has forced our hand. We only have tonight and we have to make it count. I can tell you that we won't attack him, won't harm anyone unless we have to. But we have to get in there, Lara. I've lived that nightmare. I've seen what he does to anyone he keeps within those walls. Our friends, my familiar... there are people from this island that haven't known a restful night of sleep in Stargods know how long.
[Spike's words seem to strike something in her.] We might be wrong. Thomas could be held elsewhere. But there's no way to know that. Tonight is all we have. After this, it all changes. Buffy's right. There will be war. We can only hope to bring them home before it begins.
