"Come on!" "Is she there?" "Right down in front." "It's not their fault, you know." "They just..." "They don't know what they're doing." "Guys, we should leave before we get caught." "It's happening." "Don't they ever get tired of this?" "It's so sick." "Don't worry, this will all change." "And she's gonna help change it." "Come on!" "Do it!" " Do it!" "Come on!" "Yeah." "Come on." "Go, Lindsay!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Damn it!" " What happened?" "She derezzed." "She flipped out or something." "She must've defaulted back to the last copy." "I guess she's not as strong as you yet." "I have faith in you." "She'll be perfect, 'cause you're perfect." "Graystone." "What a surprise." "Go frak yourself, Caston." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Anything happen after I left?" "Some more blood and guts." "I logged off a couple of minutes after you." "So, did you check on our girl after she disappeared?" "No." "Frakkers confiscated my Holoband." "I can access her from home." "From home?" "We're not splitting for Gemenon until tomorrow." "There'll be plenty of time for tweakage." "But, Zoe..." "No buts." "Not ever." "For the one true God knows all and directs us all." "So say we all." " So say we all." "Out!" " What?" "It was as out as can be." "Do we need to turn on the line sensors?" "That's exactly what we're going to do, cheater-girl." "Serge." "SERGE:" " Yes, sir." "Activate the line sensors, please." "And the auto-umpire." "Of course, Amanda." "Come on, Miss Cheater." "Honey, don't go all immature on me just 'cause you know I'm better than you." "What's that, cheater?" "Sorry, I can't hear you, cheater." "Gods!" "If only the worlds knew what a baby you are." "Excuse me, Daniel." "There's an urgent message for you and Amanda from the Athenian Academy regarding Zoe." "Here we go again." "Let's not prejudge this." "We don't even know what we're dealing with yet." "Holobands at school?" "Cutting class?" "Defiance!" " Let's all just take a deep breath, here." "Guess you better lock me up, huh?" "Now what did I just say, honey?" "You think that's funny, do you?" "Well, maybe you'll think this is funny." "No car privileges, no phone, no Holoband and you're grounded for a month." "Hey, hey, hey." "Come on, now." "Can we just..." "We got a big day tomorrow." "Z, your building, remember?" "Oh!" "Daddy, I'm sorry, I can't go." "See, I'm grounded." "Well, we're going to make an exception." "It's not every day you get a building named after you." "Well, there's something to be excited about." "Having your name on the side of the new computer-science wing at Apollo University 'cause your daddy donated about a billion cubits to the alumni fund." "You're on thin ice already, little girl." "Come on, like I even want to be associated with you and the filthy science..." "Hey, that dirty science put a roof over your head, young lady." "That's enough!" "You are so lucky, and you have everything in the worlds that you could possibly want, and all you do is complain about this family." "You have no idea what it means to build something or to work hard for anything." "It's all just been handed to you, Zoe." "I guess I'll have to learn how to marry into money." "You are gonna regret that for the rest of your life." "I can't believe I did that." "Well, I think it's okay." "She knows that you didn't mean it." "I'm sorry." "No worries." "I just couldn't." "When he pulled out that knife and started to..." "Hey." "Relax." "Why do they think watching something like that is fun?" "Because they're asleep." "No, that's too easy an answer." "I saw their faces." "They definitely knew what they were doing." "And they loved it." "You sound just like me." "Gee, I wonder why." "So now what?" "Now, we have to make sure that you don't derez on us again." "I thought I'd solved that in the fail-safe protocol, but clearly not." "Just don't make me go back in there again and you won't have to worry about it." "It really got to you, didn't it?" "Yeah." "I mean, I knew that wasn't real." "Nothing in here is real." "It was the way that people were watching, the way they drew strength from what was happening." "It's all right." "It's all right." "I won't make you go back there." "People are really like that?" "I mean, on the outside, are they really?" "Some." "But that's all gonna change." "And you're gonna help bring that change." "I thought the whole idea was to travel light." "Yeah, well." "Do you have the passports?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "Hey, just checking on your ETA tonight." "I'm thinking about 7:00." "You always say that." "Oh, it shouldn't be much later than that." "The party starts at 7:30." "I know." "I know." "Hi, Dad?" "You can't be late." "It's his birthday." "Do you want to put Willie in therapy for the rest of his life?" "All right." "Like I told your mom, sweetie," "I'm headed to court and I should be done no later than 7:00." "No, Daddy, no." "That's unacceptable." " That's the best I can do." "You need to promise me you'll be there on time." "Then you'll be there." " Unacceptable?" "So do I hear a promise?" " All right." "All right, Your Honor." "I promise." "Now, put your mother back on for me." "Hey, we're getting on the lev." " What?" "Can't hear you." "Talk to you at home." "No, no, wait a minute." "Sweetie, I want to tell you something." "I..." "Hello?" "Frak." "Hurry up, Lace." "Come on, Lacy." "I'm sorry." "I can't!" "Look, it's okay." "I promise, okay?" "They're gonna welcome us on Gemenon..." "It's not like it is here on Caprica." "We'll have a whole new family." "I'm sorry." "I knew she'd back out." "She won't tell anyone before we're off-world." "She won't." "Yeah." "Whatever." "Relax." "You're more keyed up than I am." "Okay, remember that guy?" "Okay, yeah." "This little creep actually comes up to me and is like, "She smells like a Tauron." ""You can smell them the second they walk into the room" ""'cause they're dirt eaters."" "I hope you walked away." "I did." "After I kicked him in the balls." "Tamara, you didn't." "He deserved way worse." "Are you going to be like this all the way to Gemenon, or what?" "Ben?" "Ben!" "I'm sorry, Zo." "It's God's will." "What?" "No!" "Ben, wait!" "The one true God shall drive out the many." "What happened?" "In this senseless tragedy, it's important that you know that the government of Caprica takes matters of terrorism seriously," "and that this case will be pursued until justice is served." "Agent Duram." "Thank you, Mr. Mayor." "On behalf of the Prime Minister, let me take this opportunity to express your government's deepest sympathy." "This is what we know." "A group known as Soldiers of the One is responsible for the bombing." "Now, while this organization has been dormant for the past 10 years and we still have a lot of evidence to sift through, everything points to their involvement." "Now, as I'm sure you all know, the STO espouses a monotheistic religious philosophy," "advocating the worship of a single, all-knowing, all-powerful God." "Hey, you need a light?" "Thank you." "I've never seen you smoke on TV." "No, well..." "Company image and all that." "I quit a few years ago, actually." "Started up again last week." "Been trying to quit myself." "Joe Adams." "Daniel Graystone." "Oh, sorry." "Oh!" "No." "Gloves are symbolic." "They're to keep us away from the world during mourning, or something like that." "I don't even know why they do it." "It's an old custom." "Well, at times like these, old ways are supposed to help, I guess." "I..." "I lost my daughter." "Me, too." "And my wife." "I could use a cup of coffee." "There's a coffee shop around the corner." "Zoe walks with Our Mother Goddess Athena now, Lacy." "She will be cared for and loved and cherished for all eternity." "It's not very comforting, is it?" "Truth is, it doesn't do much for me, either." "Zoe's gone." "And all the scriptures, all the prayers, all the sacrifices offered in the temples, none of these are gonna bring her back to us." "Are they?" "I am angry." "At the Gods?" "At whoever did this." "It's not right." "No, it's not." "To be cut down when her life was full of so much promise." "I should've been on that train." "No." "I should be with Zoe." "I should be dead." "No." "It wasn't your time." "The Gods weren't ready to call your spirit." "They have another purpose for you here." "Me?" "Zoe was somebody special." "A genius." "The things she could do with a computer..." "She just seemed gifted that way." "If you knew of any particular work that Zoe was doing, any work that you could find," "then perhaps that would be a way for you to reconnect with her, to find comfort in discovering her in a different way." "Reconnect?" "Mmm." "Amanda?" "Yeah?" "Lacy." "Hi, Dr. Graystone." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I know this is gonna sound kind of weird, but" "I was just wondering if I could sit in her room for a while." "Allow entry Lacy Rand." "Welcome, Lacy Rand." "Thank you." "Stay as long as you like." "Listen, I should be going." "Thanks for the coffee." "Are you okay?" "Sorry." "Yeah." "Sorry." " No, no." "Hey, listen." "I understand." "In about five seconds," "I'm jumping off a bridge myself." "I needed this, you know." "Just to sit and smoke..." "It's the easiest job I've had all day." "Can I offer you a ride home?" "Uh, no, I live in the city." "Hey, do you follow Pyramid at all?" "I've been known to lay a few cubits on the Bucks, much to my misfortune." "Yes, they have had better seasons, but I've got courtside seats." "Any interest?" "Uh..." "Listen, I've got an 11-year-old boy." "Is there any chance he could join us?" "Absolutely." "Listen, this is my private number." "Why don't you give me a call, and we'll set up the details, okay?" "Thanks." "Sir." "Lacy?" "Is that you?" "Yeah." "I'm glad you're here." "Something terrible has happened, hasn't it?" "So I'm dead?" "She's dead." "Yes." "Where did all this blood come from?" "I don't see any wounds on your body." "I don't know." "Maybe the bombing." "The bombing?" "But you weren't even there." "You couldn't have been there." "I know, but still I felt it." "Zoe was working on a biofeedback protocol." "She wanted me to feel what she felt in real time." "She never got it working exactly, but something happened." "It's like I felt her death." "Zoe is dead." "What happens to me?" "She had some kind of plan for you once we got to Gemenon, but I don't even know what that was." "We're not going to Gemenon anymore, are we?" "No." "What am I without her?" "She's me." "I'm her." "I'm all that's left of her." "Help me, Lace." "Make me understand." "What am I supposed to do next?" "I don't have the answers you want, okay?" "I didn't even know for sure if you were gonna still be here once Zoe died." "You're scared of me." "Why?" " I don't know you." "You grew up with me." "I grew up with Zoe Graystone, and you're not her, okay?" "You're something she created." "You're just a thing." "Zoe promised me I'd see the real world one day." "And the crazy thing is," "I already knew what the real world feels like." "I remember it, just like I remember growing up with you." "No." "It's true." "I've never been to your house, never played in your room, never puked in your bathroom" "or put on your make-up, or tried on your clothes." "I'm not a person." "I know that." "But I feel like one." "It's gonna be okay." "It's gonna be okay." "Somehow." "Somehow." "I promise." "I promise." "Lacy?" "Dr. Graystone." "What..." "What are you doing?" "I..." "I..." " What?" "I gotta go." "Lacy, why are you here?" "How does the defendant plead?" "Not guilty, Your Honor." "The clerk will set a date for trial within the month." "Bail will be set at 10,000 cubits." "Your Honor, the defendant is a known member of the Ha'la'tha crime syndicate." "There is a serious flight risk to Tauron." "The State strongly recommends that bail be denied." "I thank the State for its input." "Ruling stands." "Ten thousand cubits for the bail and 20,000 for the judge." "The Guatrau is very grateful for the work you've done for him." "He has pledged to help us find the nothos that killed Shannon and Tamara." "Tell the Guatrau I said thanks, but no." "We're on Caprica now." "Caprica." "What has this frakking planet ever done for us?" "I've got a deposition in an hour." "No, no, we cannot let this pass, Joseph." "We need to find them." "Let me grieve in my own way." "Whatever you say, my brother." "But I will pray to Mars and all the Gods for a swift and terrible vengeance to come to those who have torn your wife and daughter from this world." "There are no Gods, Sam." "Evaluation protocol 42." "Independent identification, acquisition, resolution and execution of conflict." "I had a conversation with the Minister of Defense this morning." "The Prime Minister's getting a lot of heat." "The media is playing up the fact that we're five years behind schedule and half-a-billion cubits over budget." "He's getting a lot of pressure to yank the Cyber Combat Unit contract from us and go off-world with it." "They're talking about going to Vergis." "Evaluation demonstration, proceed in three, two, one." "I'll be out for the rest of the day." "No calls." "Let's go." "They're waiting for us, sweetie." " Willie." "How was school today?" "All right." "I got off of work early and thought maybe we could walk home together." "All right." "Okay." " Stop off for a shaved ice, huh?" "You like that?" " Yeah, sure." "All right." "You know, I met a man who offered to take us to see the Buccaneers play." "What do you think?" "Sure." "I thought you liked Pyramid." "Sort of." "Courtside seats." "Could Tsattie come with us, too?" "You know, I think I want to give Grandma a night off." "It's a guys' night out." "We haven't been spending much time together lately." "Ever." "Do you think they still feel pain?" "Sorry?" "You know, Mom and Tamara, where they are." "Do you still think they hurt?" "What?" " I know you said no calls." "Tomas Vergis is on Caprica." "He's meeting Defense Minister Chambers today." "Obviously he's making a play for the U-87 contract." "I hate to say I told you so." "His company is years behind us." "Word is, Vergis has developed a Meta-Cognitive Processor." "We've been trying to crack that technology for a decade." "Suddenly he's got it?" "I don't think so." "Vergis is going to tell Chambers that he has an MCP, that much I know." "If it's true..." "I mean, if they really have a viable, independent artificial brain..." "Can't be." "... then the only thing they need is a robotic body to put it in." " I know." "I know." "First thing is, find out if it's true." "Saying you've got the MCP is one thing." "Actually having it is another." "See what you can find out." " Okay." "And, Cyrus..." "Did you ever hear of these virtual nightclubs for kids, teenagers?" "You know, they hack the Holobands and create these places where they can go and do things." "It's only been an underground phenomenon for about, oh, five years now." "Why?" "Just keep me posted on Vergis." "Zoe!" "Morning." " Morning." "William was up all night." "Again." "I know." "I don't know what to do with him." "Let him experience his roots." "Take him home to Tauron." "It's what my daughter would have wanted." "Will was born on Caprica." "This is his home." "Let's not get into this, okay?" "Not now." "Hey, kiddo." "Hey." "Good morning." " Morning." "How are you?" " Good." "There's an extra slice of that cherry cake you like so much." "Awesome." "Hey, Tsattie, are you gonna take me to school?" "It's on my way to work." "I'll take you." "Okay." "Dr. Graystone?" "Yes." "Agent Duram, Global Defense Department." "I'm wondering if you have a few minutes." "What for?" "Well, as you probably know," "I'm investigating the attack on the MLMT train." "Should I know that?" "Sorry." "I've been avoiding the news lately." "That's completely understandable." "May I?" "Yes." "It's about your daughter, Zoe." "Yes." "Was there anything in her behavior before the incident that seemed unusual to you?" "She was angry, defiant, rude, vulgar, obnoxious, unreasonable, just your typical 16-year-old girl." "And how would you describe her circle of friends?" "Was there an anti..." "Do me the courtesy of cutting to the chase, Agent Duram." "We have evidence that we believe positively links your daughter to the bombers." "I'm sorry." "You think that Zoe knew one of the terrorists?" "Dr. Graystone, we think that Zoe might have been one of the terrorists." "My daughter didn't have a political bone in her body." "Her biggest concerns in life were partying with her friends and finding new and creative ways to piss off her parents." "I understand how upsetting this must be for you." "We think that was sent from your daughter's computer sheet." "The message was transmitted just before the explosion, but never had a chance to uplink to the server." "It took a fair amount of digital forensics to reconstruct it." "It sounds like a last message to me, like someone who knows the end is near and wants to make amends." "Get out." "Here's my card." "If you think of anything, please don't hesitate to call me." "Welcome, Lacy Rand." "May I come in?" "Your security authorization is still valid." "Please enter." "Thanks." "I'm just going to go to Zoe's room." "As you wish." "Looking for this?" "You'll pardon the way I look, but I've been up all night trying to crack one of the better security codes" "I've ever run up against." "I've been to the V-Club." "I've seen her." "I saw her go into a room with an infinity symbol on the door." "Now, I don't have any idea what this means or how it's even possible, but I have the feeling that you do." "I'm sorry, Dr. Graystone..." "I want to see her, Lacy." "Whatever she is, I need to know." "I need to know." "I'm glad you came to see me, Joseph." "We grieve for your terrible loss." "Thank you for saying so, Guatrau." "There's a delicate matter I need your help on." "If I can, you know I will." "There is a man, an important man, who has conveniently forgotten how he got to be so important." "Regrettably, he is embarking on an enterprise that will cause a great deal of distress, not only to my personal interest, but to many of my colleagues." "This I cannot sanction." "So action must be taken." "You want me to threaten him?" "I'd like this matter to be resolved in a civilized manner, and I can think of no other Tauron as civilized as you, Tse' Jospeh."
