"WILLIAM:" "I'm learning so much hanging out with my uncle and his pals." "What are you doing here?" "I was helping." "No, you always go to school first thing, all right?" "You wait for them to take attendance, then you skip." "You stick around here till 3:00, and then I take you home." "(SPEAKING TAURONESE)" "DANIEL:" "I've decided to accept responsibility for my company's impact on society." "SARNO:" "Daniel Graystone." "My company will make no more profit on the Holobands or V-World licensing." "It's 60% of our net." "Hold me to it, Caprica." "TAMARA:" "I woke up in the virtual world without knowing how I got here." "I need to find someone who can show me the way home." "If this is a dream," "I think it's too long." "I don't think this is a dream." "This is a door, all right?" "Come on." "You'll be free." "JOSEPH:" "Tamara's avatar was my last hope of getting her back." "DANIEL:" "Remember, it's going to seem real, but it's all virtual." "Tamara!" "JOSEPH:" "Tamara's really gone?" "I'm sorry." "But we can't save them." "SAM:" "Hi there." "Morning." "Anybody home?" "Hey, what are you doing here?" "It's a school day." "Yoseef, get up." "Yoseef!" "Yoseef, I said get up." "Come on, up!" "Hey, where you going?" "Taking Willie to school." "I'll take him." "It's all right, he's late." "No, no, no, no, no." "Just hang on a second." "I'll get changed." "Dad, it's okay." "I kind of want Uncle Sam to take me." "Go wait." "(SIGHS)" "You going to work today?" "You going to work today?" "Yeah, it's been a rough couple of weeks." "It's not as bad as it looks." "No?" "'Cause it looks pretty frakked up." "Well, then, why don't you mind your own business?" "This isn't business." "This is family!" "You're a Tauron, Yoseef." "You remember that?" "No." "No, I'm a Caprican." "Isn't that what you always tell me?" "(SCOFFS)" "You call yourself whatever you want, but first, you be a father." "And when you can manage that, maybe I'll introduce you to your son." "No, I..." "Wake up, brother." "Come on." "(SIGHS)" "(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)" "Um..." "Excuse me." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "MAN 1:" "Hey, what the frak?" "WOMAN:" "Hey!" "I'm sorry." "MAN 2:" "Watch it."

"(LAUGHS)" "Look, I am stuck here and I can't get out." "I heard she can help me get home." "Please, just let me talk to her." "If she can't help me, I will leave." "Okay, we'll let you talk to her." "But we get to watch." "VESTA:" "Here we go." "Here we go." "One thousand." "Put your bets down." "Let's go." "Okay." "A thousand?" "Is this all you're gonna bet?" "Okay." "Okay, let's play." "Let's play." "Yeah?" "We got a taker." "Brown dress." "Claims she's stuck." "Okay." "Fifteen hundred to you." "(PEOPLE CHEERING)" "Grip." "Pull." "Fire."

"VESTA:" "The pain should zap you out of the program, and you have to re-launch your avatar, but you..." "TAMARA:" "Can't." "Don't have to." "She's a sleeper." "It's supposed to be a myth." "Someone who fell asleep with their Holoband on and can't wake up." "Somebody would've woken me up by now." "Well, maybe you're unconscious, in a coma, and there must be something wrong with your band because it should've timed out, but we can hack it." "Do a manual disconnect." "Some kind of price, isn't there?" "What do you want me to do?" "Play a little game." "That's all." "A game?" "Yeah." "Help me settle an old score." "You play the game, I get you home." "BYUN:" "She's not bleeding." "Never seen anyone heal before." "Not in V-World." "Clean her up." "Get her some new clothes." "You're going." "Now." "(PHONE RINGING)" "(MAN CHATTERING ON TV)" "Yes, hi, this is Joseph Adama." "This is Principal Andrews calling to check on Willie." "What?" "Well, he's been out sick." "No, no, no." "He's been at school." "Well, he's missed several days in a row now." "You've got to be..." "How long?" "Since the middle of last week." "Oh, my Gods." "I get that." "That's simple." "It's so..." "Put the tray down, take the apron off, and come with me." "Why don't we go out back, Yoseef?" "It's quieter there." "We could talk." "Oh, we've got nothing to talk about!" "You frakking bee-known blahx!" "That's nice." "A little Tauron comes in useful once in a while, doesn't it?" "Let's go." "Here's a little Tauron saying for you, brother." "(SPEAKING TAURONESE)" "I did not lose my son." "Oh, really?" "Then what are you doing here?" "Where are you taking me?" "This tunnel leads us to a different section of V-World." "It's a first-player game." "Once we're there, we'll take out a big player." "Clean out his in-game bank account, like a heist." "None of us can come close to pulling this off, 'cause this guy's got security." "That's not going to be a problem for you, okay?" "What are you talking about?" "You'll see." "Now get ready." "Here we go." "I'm outside." "TAMARA:" "Wait, is this Caprica?" "HERACLES:" "It's a virtual Caprica." "A digital recreation, but it's lawless." "Anything goes." "(RATTLING)" "(RUMBLING)" "Get down!" "(TAMARA SHRIEKS)" "(TAMARA CRYING)" "(SCREAMING) What is this place?" "Welcome to New Cap City." "(SOBBING)" "So this whole city is like a game?" "HERACLES:" "Yeah." "It's kind of like a different version of Caprica City." "They update it so it matches." "Even the place where the MagLev train blew up is here." "A maglev train blew up?" "How long have you been sleeping?" "I don't know." "Okay, what's the object of the game?" "It's a mystery." "It's almost like figuring out the object of the game is the object of the game." "But we think it's about getting things that convert into points, like money, or weapons..." "So no one's ever finished it?" "Or won it?" "Not yet." "There's this thing." "When you die in the game, you're out, and you can't ever come back." "But with you, I might actually have a shot." "Okay, so our target is Chiron." "He's a fat cat." "Likes to hang in this club on the lower east side." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)" "(EXHALES)" "Back booth." "Don't look, just glance." "It's Chiron." "The Horse." "Best gamer in the city." "You're gonna pull security away, and I'll grab his avatar, okay?" "If he's the competition, why don't you just kill him?" "His avatar is more useful to us." "It gets us into his vault, then we have his money." "His virtual money." "Well, that's how you win the game." "You think." "That's right." "Deal is, you help us win the game, and Vesta gets you home." "Look, it's not real, okay?" "It is to me." "HERACLES:" "You're gonna pull security away, and I'm gonna grab his avatar." "(CHATTERING)" "Chiron." "TAMARA:" "You forgot to call me." "I can forgive you, if you play it right." "I'm sorry, dear." "I have no idea who you are." "Now get the hell out of here." "No, you have to remember." "I mean, come on." "It was so sweet." "You said that I could have anything that I wanted." "Don't you remember what I said?" "(GASPS) I said that..." "I said... (TAMARA SHRIEKS)" "(GROANING)" "MAN:" "She didn't get sent back." "WOMAN:" "What's going on?" "(CRYING)" "What?" "Come on, come on." "It's okay, all right?" "We're gonna be okay." "You did good." "You did great." "You did great." "That just blows my mind." "Well, was it worth it?" "Did you get what you needed?" "Yeah, we totally did." "Look, just watch me now." "Don't be scared." "You see?" "(IN CHIRON'S VOICE) It's still just me." "Anything that's pure code can be manipulated." "Now we can get into his bank vault, lift his virtual cash, and convert it into points in the game." "(IN NORMAL VOICE) So we pull that off, and Vesta helps you." "Look..." "I know this must seem really random to you, but this game, it really does mean something to me." "It actually allows me to be something." "Maybe if you weren't in here, playing this game, you could be something out there, too." "WILLIAM:" "You look goofy." "You're gonna embarrass me." "I know that there's a great spot, just..." "This is so boring." "Let's just go home, please!" "You're gonna be so happy when we're eating it." "It's delicious fish." "Come on." "You know, we haven't been here in a long time." "Since we came here with Mom and Tammy last summer." "That was a great day." "They were practically jumping on the line." "Do you remember that?" "Not really." "Listen, Willie, if you ever want to talk about anything, about Mommy or Tammy..." "BOY:" "Hey, what are you looking at?" "I'm here for you." "You know that, right?" "Yeah." "Could we just go home, please?" "There's no water." "What are you talking about?" "This is..." "The less water, closer the fish are to the surface." "Everybody knows that." "Come on, get your rod." "(MOCKING)" "BOY:" "Look at the little Tauron dirt-eater." "You've been unreachable for a day." "I'll call you back." "And your assistant won't look me in the eye." "I think it's time you told me what's going on." "The board called an emergency meeting." "I've been trying to figure out who's behind it." "Hmm." "Is it Atkinson?" "Well, it's everyone." "But, yeah, Atkinson, and Parker's gonna be the one doing the talking." "The others will sit on their hands, let him go on about the stock price tanking, your decision to give up the V-World..." "So, if I don't come up with answers to the Holoband crisis, they're going to try to force me to step down from my own company." "(SIGHS)" "Do they..." "Do you think they have the votes?" "Can we just go, please?" "I want to go." "Just wait a little longer." "Don't you love the fresh air and the beauty out here?" "It's much better than that smoke-filled room at Goldie's." "It's so boring." "Can we please go?" "I don't like it here." "Can we please go?" "Looks like it's gonna be dirt again tonight!" "Just, listen, ignore that." "They're idiots." "You talking to me?" "Who else would I be talking to?" "JOSEPH:" "Hey, Willie, just ignore them." "Willie, put that down." "I said, "It must be fun to have all that dirt."" "Really?" "JOSEPH:" "Willie, get back here, right now!" "Willie!" "Hey!" "No!" "BOY:" "Get him, get him!" "JOSEPH:" "Willie!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "GIRL:" "Beat him up!" "Come here." "Stop it, Willie!" "No!" "Come here!" "Did I wake you up?" "No, I wasn't sleeping." "Not really." "Maybe a few minutes." "What's going on?" "I think that" "I might be losing my company tomorrow." "(LAUGHS)" "Do you remember when I was pregnant with Zoe?" "We were living in that flat in Cloverdale." "And you were taking the bus all over town because that car, that you loved, never worked." "It worked." "We hadn't paid the rent for, like, three months." "You couldn't afford even upper-level Bucs tickets." "Things were really bad." "But you had a big, fat meeting with MicroCap." "And you knew nobody wanted to see you in there, but you didn't care." "Someone had done you a favor." "So you worked on that thing for months." "And on the day of the meeting, you fell in the pouring rain getting off the bus." "You slipped helping some woman..." "I remember." "...with a stroller, and you landed on your ass on the sidewalk." "(CHUCKLES)" "So you walked into that meeting in a soaking wet suit, and what turned out to be a broken wrist, and you walked out of there" "with the deal that would start everything." "PARKER:" "You can't change the fact that he went on that show and killed the Holoband business." "Well, he didn't stick to the script." "But on the flip side, our approval rating's sky-rocketed." "CYRUS:" "Exactly." "And you think dumping the founder of this company now, in the middle of all this..." "You think that's going to help?" "Daniel Graystone is the brand." "He's the public face of this corporation... (THUDDING)" "What is that?" "Hello, everyone." "I'm so sorry I'm late." "Daniel, I'd just like to say, we all understand you're going through an awful lot right now." "Holobands are over." "Excuse me?" "Holobands are over?" "The hacked sites are eating up more and more of our market share each quarter." "And that's where the kids are going, because they're free." "And the next generation coming up, they'll expect it all to be free." "We can't own it forever." "We can either marshal all our resources and funds towards saving that sinking ship, or we can look for the next big thing, the next big leap forward that will change the worlds." "We either move into the future, or we die trying to hold on to our past." "And this..." "This is our future." "Fancy machines that cost millions of cubits?" "DANIEL:" "The cost is irrelevant, considering all that it can do." "U-87, make the circuit, please." "Take a nice look at all these fine folks." "Makes you a little uncomfortable, doesn't it?" "(CHUCKLES)" "Do you find yourself wondering what it might be thinking?" "Or feeling?" "Well, that is the big leap forward, people." "Do you sense it?" "Beyond artificial intelligence, this is artificial sentience." "Do you feel it?" "I feel it." "Don't you?" "I feel like there is a being inside this machine, something alive and vital" "and special." "And it's not our imagination." "Look at the test results." "There is a brilliant mind in here." "So, in terms of practical applications..." "Are you seriously asking me about the practical applications of creating another race that will walk beside us?" "(LAUGHS)" "Do you not understand the enormity of this creation?" "It's more than a machine." "This Cylon will become a tireless worker who won't need to be paid." "It won't retire or get sick." "It won't have rights, or objections, or complaints." "It will do anything and everything we ask of it without question." "U-87, rip your arm off." "Go on." "Go on!" "(GASPS)" "Looked a little painful, didn't it?" "The desire to anthropomorphize, the need to connect, it's powerful." "And that is why this thing is going to sell." "We make them." "We own them." "They're real." "And the world's just changed." "So..." "I believe you were going to take a vote?" "Wait." "Take a powder." "I said blow." "This place is a bank?" "Where did the security go?" "And where's the vault?" "The guards were pure code, not players." "They are the security." "They scanned the Chiron avatar, and it passed." "As for the vault, we're standing on it." "(SIGHS)" "Vesta decoded this sequence from a puzzle across town." "It was encoded on manhole covers." "Really tough to get, but we got it." "So I'll just name off the signs and you step on them as I go, okay?" "Okay, just hurry up." "All right, you ready?" "Yeah." "Picon." "Caprica." "Gemenon." "Picon." "Tauron." "(VAULT UNLOCKING)" "(BEEPING)" "See how this registers as points?" "It's gotta mean something." "This has to be the point of the game." "(ALARM RINGING)" "Oh, frak." "(GROANS)" "How'd you do that?" "I don't know." "Gods, what are you?" "JOSEPH:" "Willie, do your homework." "(CLICKING)" "(SIGHS)" "Willie, stop that." "Stop it!" "(KNOCKING AT DOOR)" "What have you been teaching him, Sam?" "Same things we've been taught." "He's gonna be a man soon, Yoseef." "You know, on Tauron, at his age, he already would be." "He's gonna make choices." "I don't know what to do, Sam." "You know what to do, Yoseef." "It's what you've been thinking about." "It's what you've been avoiding." "Too Tauron for you, maybe, but not for your son." "You're losing him." "You are losing him, Yoseef." "Your son needs closure." "It's time to let Shannon and Tamara go." "Look past yourself and perform the rites, brother." "You got the votes." "You better be right." "(MEN CHATTERING ON RADIO)" "(DOORBELL RINGS)" "(SPEAKING TAURONESE)" "Welcome to our home." "Tsattie, what's taking so long?" "WOMAN:" "What are you doing?" "Get out of here." "They're ready." "I know what this is for." "I know what it's for." "Go, go, go, go." "You ready?" "I'm ready." "You sure moved in fast." "Did you get it?" "She's amazing." "Stopped the guards, messed with the codes." "Like hacking without even hacking." "Really?" "Interesting." "Bring it to me." "No." "You're gonna wake me up, get me home, and then you get your money." "Yeah, well, see, I've been looking into that, and I can't." "It's only a month old." "It's yellowing, but you can still make out the names on the list." "What a shame." "Tamara Adams, 16 years old." "615 Olympic Street, number 3, Caprica City." "Isn't that you, baby?" "So young." "Wait, wait, I don't get it." "What's the list?" "What's the list of?" "It doesn't matter." "You're dead, baby." "Does that explain why she can do what she did to the guards?" "I think it might." "BYUN:" "You're not going home, doll face." "VESTA:" "Don't worry." "We've got plenty for you to do, baby." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "You need to go to the real world." "You need to find my father." "You know the address." "You heard it." "615 Olympic, number 3." "I'll wait for you in New Cap City, so you can find me." "I can't go back to the real world, okay..." "You could be something there!" "Just take off your Holoband, okay?" "You're not gonna die here." "Just go." "What are you?" "(EXHALES)" "I'm awake." "(GUN FIRES)" "Do you have a coin for me, Yoseef?" "I have a coin for my wife, Shannon Adama." "I have a coin for my sister, Tamara Adama." "Will you grant them passage?" "They will have passage." "Will you let them go?" "Yes." "Yes." "Will you bid them farewell?" "(EXHALES DEEPLY)" "Goodbye, Shannon." "Goodbye, Tamara." "Goodbye, Tamara." "Goodbye, Mom." "Then they will live forever in peace." "They will live forever in your hearts." "(WOMAN SINGING IN TAURONESE)" "(DOORBELL RINGS)" "That's a good one."

"Okay, look, she's in the V-World and she can't get out." "So, if you can just help me..." "You saw her?" "Yeah, but I think she's just sleeping or something." "So if you could just please go wake her up, she really needs that." "My daughter's dead." "She died in the MagLev attacks. (PANTING)" "Oh, Gods, I'm sorry." "You saw her in V-World?" "I did." "You gotta take me there." "You gotta take me to see her, okay?" "Hey." "Hey!" "JOSEPH:" "Stop!" "Stop!" "(GROANS)" "(PANTING)" "Hey." "Tammy."
