Caprica s01e11 Episode Script

Retribution

Previously on Caprica All my friends have failed me, so I'm taking a chance on a bid for freedom.
Stop.
Philo, it's me.
(Alarm sounds) No! (Thud) Having let down my best friend, I find myself getting deeper into the S.
T.
O.
Are you fully committed to the cause? Give me that knife.
My struggle with Barnabas for control of the Soldiers of the One on Caprica is coming to a head.
While I've been trying to get everyone to lie low, you've been trying to build a power base.
Gonna run off to S.
T.
O.
Central on Gemenon and tell on me? Mother, I need authority to assert total control over all S.
T.
O.
cells on Caprica.
Agreed.
My life is in shambles.
I'm resorting to desperate means to get it all back.
Guatrau Tomas Vergis has taken my company away from me.
I want it back.
I'm gambling that I can convince your Guatrau that my company will be more valuable to him operating business as usual with my hand at the tiller.
That's one hell of a gamble.
I feel like I don't even know my own husband anymore.
Vergis told me that you stole his chip and killed two of his employees.
Is it true? I've discovered that Clarice Willow is the only one I can really trust.
Can we talk about this? Will you call me? Please? I love you.
(Door opens) (Sniffles) (Sighs) Well, it's good to be home.
Last boarding call for Rondu Colonial Flight 308 to Gemenon.
It's not like he said.
There's too many people.
We've got to call it off.
You gonna tell Barnabas that? He will kill you.
It's true, Lace.
You know it.
Let's get it done.
Flight 572 to Tauron has been relocated to gate 27.
(Beeping) (Vacuum cleaner whirring) (Clears throat) Miss, you all right? Bu My temple group, we We missed our flight to Picon, and I I just I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have to see in that bag.
(Gunshots) Aah! Go! Go! Go! (Alarm blaring) Come on! Come on, come on, come on, let's go! (Men shouting indistinctly) Hey! (Gunshots) (Tires squealing) Go, go, go! Just shut up and drive! Why are there people following us? You were supposed to wait for us out front! What are you thinking? Would someone please tell me what's going on? - We got blown! - Lacy, what happened? - Why do you still have your bag? - Don't talk to anybody.
Keep your head down and plant the frakkin' bomb! I've already got mine rigged, okay? - We can just set it off.

- Well, then blow it! Lacy, why do you still have your bag? - Wait! - What? I still have it.
What? What? What are you Give me the bag.
(Beeping) She's got the bomb with her.
Holy frak, Lace.
Do you have any idea how close you came to blowing us up? Get rid of it.
Get rid of it! I'm not going to jail for you people.
They've probably found our bombs by now.
Do you have any idea how much evidence we've left behind? Instead of tiny bomb fragments, now there's whole bombs covered in our fingerprints.
I feel sick.
It's gonna be okay.
I'll I'll talk to Barnabas.
No, it's not gonna be okay, Lacey.
It's not gonna be okay, not this time.
You're not gonna talk to him.
You're not gonna smooth anything over.
All our evidence is left in there.
The operation is blown.
You almost got shot! We almost all died! It is frakked up! Have you ever not frakked something up in your life, Lacey? Why did we bring her? (Whispering) Stop.
(Normal voice) Stop.
Stop the car! Frak you! Hello, Cornell.
I'm so sorry to drag you all the way out here.
What is going on, Daniel? May I offer you something Coffee? No, I don't want coffee.
I want to know what the hell you're doing sending this guy to my home, in front of Helen and the kids.
Sorry about that.
You should return a message now and then.
It's good business.
Daniel, you were voted out.
I can't have direct contact with you.
You know that.
How would it look? Well, it would look loyal.
Come here.
Please, sit down.
(Thunder rumbles) I know how How difficult it was for you to overcome your addiction.
I've been clean for three years.
I know, and that's admirable.
You have rebuilt your life, and as your friend, I can respect that.
But you need to protect that life.
You need to protect Helen and the kids.
There's going to be a vote coming up, and, uh And you want my vote.
Yes, I do.
(Thunder rumbles) I don't deserve this, Daniel.
Tell that to the young girls that I had to pay off for you The ones you liked to hurt.
I know you didn't mean to, Cornell.
Please Don't do this.
Do I have your vote? You're a disgrace.
That's irrelevant.
I don't suppose Helen knows about any of this, does she? Does she? (Thunder booms) I wonder how she'd react to it, and your kids.
I can't imagine.
Listen to me.
I made a mistake.
All you have to do is the right thing, and all this will go away.
- No.
- It will go away.
No, I am not gonna let myself be blackmailed.
All you have to do is the right thing, and this will all go away.
- Forget it! - Cornell, please.
- You're an ambitious man.
- I won't.
- I won't.
- All right.
All right.
Friend, Daniel? (Door opens) (Thunder booms) (Shower running) I'm just talking about keeping her safe.
I mean, she's exhausted.
She's had a horrific accident.
I know you care about your patients, but I would appreciate if ten people weren't coming in and out all the time.
Clarice! She needs her rest! Amanda? Did you call? Come here.
(Monitor beeping) What are you doing here? Well, I saw all the coverage on TV about your fall.
Daniel called the nurses' station, and, uh, he's on his way.
He's just stuck in some traffic, but he'll be here shortly.
Tell him I don't want to see him.
(Shower running) (Beeping intensifies) (Thunder booms) Big storm.
I miss this from Tauron.
That's Lillian Teller.
She's been on the board about 11 years Old money.
She was an easy one.
Ah.
Yes.
Boys That's always been her weakness.
You go to a whorehouse, expect to be on camera.
Well, lucky for us, she had no idea.
Yeah.
Look, this is the only way.
I get it, I get it.
Let's move on.
Vital corso.
Drunk-driving.
If he doesn't care about the old convictions coming out, we can set up a fake police stop.
Very innovative.
Oh, gods.
Terry Albick.
You want to stop? You know, excuse me if I'm having a hard time finding the joy in this enterprise, but I know these people They're a part of my life.
I've been to their weddings, their kids' birthday parties.
We vacation together.
And yet every one of them sold you out the second Vergis came calling.
(Exhales sharply) So Terry Albick So far, he's clean, but, uh, you know, we're still early in the process.
We're pulling, uh, credit reports, bank statements.
I've ordered a background check.
Have you heard back from them yet? No, I got nothing.
(Glass clinks) He's sleeping with his sister-in-law.
Has been for about six years.
He hates that he's cheating, but he really loves her.
I think his nephew might actually be his son.
Terry's quite proud of him.
You'd be surprised what comes out at corporate retreats.
I think we can count on his vote.
Ah, yes.
Who's next? (Sighs) Just try and eat a little something, Zoe.
How can I eat this when it tastes like vomit? Do you have to make everything so unpleasant All the time? You know, maybe it's because I hate you.
But don't worry.
I'll be dead soon, and then we'll both be happy.
(Gasps) (Clarice whispering indistinctly) Yes, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
The secret to Apotheosis lies in Zoe's code.
It's imperative (Voice fades) (Whispering indistinctly) Zoe.
They're my kids.
They wouldn't betray me.
They just wouldn't.
Barnabas has turned them all, Clarice - Pann, Hippolyta.
- Who's told you this? G.
D.
D.
, highly placed.
The four of them were caught on camera three hours ago, attempting to bomb the spaceport.
They tried to kill you, Clarice, and they will try again.
What are you going to do about it? (Exhales deeply) (Thunder booms) I don't deserve this, Daniel.
Please.
You have rebuilt your life, and as your friend, I can respect that.
But you need to protect that life.
You need to protect Helen and the kids.
(Gunshot) Seven-day outlook, storms will continue to pound Caprica City for the next two This is not just a teeny, flimsy chain.
No, this is a really I mean, look at the quality of this rope.
A high-ranking Graystone board member was found dead early this morning, the victim of a self-inflicted Sanjay has won 1,153,000 cubits! And we're still on the scene at this hour.
G.
D.
D.
sources are telling us that so far, no one has stepped forward to claim responsibility for that botched bombing that happened here just (Distant sirens wailing) (Door opens, hinges creaking) Clarice.
I'm sorry.
Pann.
You were the first, you know, to join.
And now you repay that by joining Barnabas against me.
(Sighs) I think it's all my fault.
No.
No.
No, it's not.
I don't know if I can forgive you.
Please, let me explain to you.
I was confused.
I I heard things, and I didn't know what to think.
Barnabas said that there would be a better way, and I listened to him.
I listened to him, and I turned my back on you, and I know I let you down.
But I've learned from that.
I betrayed you, Clarice.
But give me another chance.
Don't do this.
Please don't do this.
Give me a chance, just one chance, and I'll show you I can be righteous.
Please forgive me.
Please forgive me.
Please.
I do.
I do forgive you.
(Relieved laughter) Thank you.
Thank you.
But I'm the easy one.
It's God you should be worried about.
(Electricity crackles) Aah! (Continues screaming) Hello, Hippolyta.
Hey, Clarice.
Do you want to come in? Look, I'm really sorry.
We didn't mean anything by it.
I'm really Clarice? (Screaming) (Breathing heavily) (Phone beeping) (Line trilling) Barnabas, it's me.
I I want to come in.
I wanted Pann and Hippolyta here, but I can't reach them.
So explain it to me.
How did last night go so wrong? You led us to believe that it would be empty.
It wasn't.
It got complicated, and I was spotted.
I couldn't plant the last device.
You couldn't or wouldn't? I recall a certain reluctance when we tried to kill Clarice.
Because that was reckless.
I don't know what the personal thing is between you guys.
I don't have to explain anything to you.
But it's making us take crazy risks.
(Sighs) When I say do something, it gets done.
I get it when we hit places that sell holobands, because we're making people look at the way they're living their lives.
If it doesn't get done I told you I couldn't! That's the last place in the world you want to be.
It's not like Pann and Hippolyta to miss a meeting.
Do you know anything about that? No.
They are loyal to me.
Are you loyal to Clarice? Are you her mole? Of course not.
Barnabas Oh, my You are working against me! I have done everything you've asked! Don't call me disloyal! Just promise me Promise me that you're loyal.
I am committed to God.
(Pounding on window) I need to talk to you.
I need to talk to you.
Please! Cornell, he killed himself! I know you know something! My husband is dead! What am I supposed to tell my children? What am I supposed to do? What kind of man are you? (Sobbing) Drive.
(Continues sobbing) You're a murderer! Keep driving.
(Monitor beeping) Thank you for Finally letting me come and see you.
Did you really have those men killed in order to steal the MCP? (Sighs) That's not fair.
How How was I to know What was gonna happen, hmm? If I'd known, then You hired criminals.
What did you expect? Yes, but we can't always know where our actions will lead.
It's in the stars.
Do I blame you for Zoe? No, no, don't Don't Don't stop.
Go on.
I'm waiting for you to bring this analogy home.
How is you hiring thugs to Rob and murder people Please, voice down, all right? How is that equivalent to me being a bad mother? I never said you were a bad mother.
You think it's my fault that Zoe hated me.
What are you talking about? The idea that I could control her behavior is just stupid.
I mean, who are you? What kind of man have you become? I don't even know you.
(Indistinct radio transmissions) This kid turns up poached a few hours after trying to blow up Trojan Spaceport.
His girlfriend is found dead in an alley across town the same night.
What do you think? I think I'm finally getting used to the smell.
- What, dead Monad? - I kind of like it.
Huh.
Hey, you know both of these kids went to the same school as Zoe Graystone and Ben Stark? That's a hell of a coincidence.
I'm gonna talk to Clarice Willow.
(Camera shutter clicks) Yeah, yeah, I do understand, but why didn't you tell me about this before? Okay, well, let's not you and me get into this now.
Just put him on the phone, okay? Hey, sport, what's this mom tells me about your attitude at school? No, uh-uh-uh, no, no, no, no.
You listen to me.
No excuses.
This happens again, I start taking things away.
That's TV, holobands, the whole thing.
Frak.
Okay, buddy, I got to go.
Frak! Sister Clarice! Sister Clarice.
Sister Clarice.
Agent Duram.
How are you? Well, sister, I'm wet.
Do you mind? Yourself? Well, I'm a little upset to learn that two of my former students have been murdered.
Did you know that they were monotheists? What's that supposed to mean? I think it's a fairly straightforward question.
Did you know that they were monotheists? More to the point, did you know that they were terrorists? No.
You don't sound too surprised.
I am surprised.
And what about you? Have you ever attended a Monad church? I'm the headmistress of the Athena Academy Athena What do you think? Well, I don't know.
That's why I'm asking you.
Maybe you had a crisis of faith.
- Maybe you were curious.
- Oh, don't be absurd.
So that's a no? Thank you for your time, sister.
(Drill whirring) Couldn't have been easy getting this thing out of there.
Yeah, well, Vergis thinks I melted it down for scrap, but I thought it might mean something to you.
That's all that's left of the U-87.
(Sighs) So how's Amanda? She's fine.
Really? She will be fine physically, but I think she's still Still grieving A lot of regret and guilt.
She blames herself for everything that happened, you know.
It's a shame, but Well, how about you? - You getting enough rest? - Not even remotely.
(Sighs) All right, well, I'll leave you to it.
Thanks.
(Sighs) I just got a complaint from Clarice Willow's lawyer, demanding that you stop harassing his client.
Well, it's not surprising, sir.
There are too many threads that connect her this.
There is an S.
T.
O.
presence in that school, and she's obviously protecting the students who are involved in it, but that doesn't mean she is involved.
Sir, that is pretty much the definition of involved.
No, because it could be argued it's the definition of misguided.
Do you seriously believe that she could be an Athenian cleric and keeping up this kind of secret life? Yes, I do.
Well, your partner thinks you're wrong, and My partner? And I agree with her.
You're a polytheist, quite devout, right? My gods have nothing to do with this.
You're not objective, Jordan.
You should listen to your partner and back off from this.
We don't have anything on Clarice Willow.
And we all want to solve these murders.
Focus on that.
Yes, sir.
All in this together I got it.
Go, team.
(Operatic music) Dr.
Graystone, I think we got off to a bad start.
And we don't have to be on opposite sides.
Well, you should have thought of that when you were ransacking my house.
Yes, I know.
You're right, and I'm sorry.
Doctor, there are people around us, these monotheists.
They want nothing more than to have us either convert or destroy us.
It's not the monotheists, it's the terrorists.
I think your friend Clarice Willow is one.
What? Her students blew up that train.
Yes, I'm acutely aware of that.
They're also responsible for trying to take out that spaceport yesterday.
You heard about that? Yes.
Listen to me.
Clarice Willow lived on Gemenon as a child at the same time that the S.
T.
O.
was actively training recruits in order to protect the new church.
Now, last week on Gemenon, there was a conclave meeting, and we know for a fact that Clarice was off-world at the exact same time.
She was on Gemenon at a teaching conference.
There was no teaching conference.
I called the school.
She took vacation time.
Now, I believe that Clarice Willow pulled your daughter into that organization.
She got her to trust her.
She brainwashed her.
And then she put her on that train with that bomb.
I'm not listening to this.
No.
Dr.
Graystone.
I can't hear this anymore.
- Dr.
Graystone.
- I'm not gonna listen to this.
(Clattering) I got you.
Please let go of me.
Why are you telling me this? Because I need your help.
You are in a unique position, doctor.
You have intimate access to an S.
T.
O.
leader.
Now, do you know what a confidential informant is? A spy.
You want me to spy on my friend? If Clarice Willow is who I think she is, then she could be the linchpin, and we could take down the entire S.
T.
O The people who murdered your daughter.
Now, if you don't believe me, why don't you tell Clarice Willow what I told you? You tell her that she can call my boss.
They can pull my badge.
I don't care.
I'm that sure! Why are you being so good to me? 'Cause I loved Zoe too.
Clarice Willow lived on Gemenon, the same time that the S.
T.
O.
was actively training recruits.
I'm packing up a few things.
I'm off to Gemenon.
You're going to Gemenon? She pulled your daughter into this organization.
She brainwashed her.
I think it's all really about Zoe.
Did you ask Daniel about the avatar? These monotheists They want nothing more than to have us either convert or destroy us.
God does not want you to punish yourself.
He loves you.
Which God? I need your help.
Now, do you know what a confidential informant is? You're out early.
Yeah.
I couldn't sleep, so, uh I went for a drive.
- Tea? - No.
I'm gonna have something stronger.
(Wine pouring) I saw you on the holoband last night.
Mm.
I know.
It's my Guilty secret of mine.
I find it relaxing when I can't sleep.
So who ar Are you in there? (Sighs) Depends.
Different characters.
It depends on the mood I'm in, you know? Different roles.
Zoe.
(Sighs) (Keys clatter) (Beeping) (Thunder booms) It's time to call a truce, Barnabas.
Reach out to mother.
She'll talk to Clarice.
No! No, no, no! This is a secure location.
If we go to the conclave, we'll expose ourselves, and Clarice is out for blood.
She's coming after me.
She's coming after all of us.
Do you know that for sure? She already killed Pann and Hippolyta.
We should reach out.
We're on the same side.
I just want to stuff the barrel of a gun down her lying mouth! I just want to blow her brains all over the wall and wash my hands in the blood! I swear to God! I can't do this.
Not any more.
Keon, where are you going? Hey! Hey! Keon! Keon, stop.
Stop! Where are you going? You're not going anywhere now.
Come back here.
- No.
- Keon, please.
Keon, you are not going anywhere.
- You stop! - No, I Keon, do not touch that button.
Don't betray me.
If you leave, they'll find you, and you'll lead them right back to us.
No, Barnabas, please don't.
No! Keon, please stay.
Just stay.
Please stay.
Please.
Lacy is right.
You're insane.
Ugh! No! (Whimpers) (Elevator bell dings) (Gurgling) (Lacy whimpers) Don't be so surprised.
You're not as hard to find as you think you are, Barnabas.
Do you know what I love about our God? He's a kind God, and he's a loving God (Device beeping) And he's a just God.
Please stop.
(Sighs) I'm sorry it had to come to this.
(Handcuffs clicking) Others need to be taught the price of disobedience.
Apotheosis is a fraud.
History will absolve me.
(Breathing heavily) (People screaming) Are you gonna kill me? I hope not.
(Sighs, winces) (Thunder rumbles) Are you all right? (Sighs) Two of my students were killed.
They were murdered.
That's terrible.
Who would do that? (Sniffles) I don't know.
They were running with a bad crowd.
Yeah, I know what that's like.
You know, I think you might be (Sniffles) (Sighs) The only person I can talk to.
Tell me everything.
(Thunder crashing)
