Caprica s01e13 Episode Script

Previously on Caprica I've finally come to terms with being a Tauron.
Joseph, you've done good work.
And you've given honest advice.
You will represent my interests in this matter.
This is an honor.
I've had to do some things that I am not very proud of.
Tomas Vergis has taken my company away from me and I want it back.
Cyrus, what's going on? What is the board doing here? The chairman has called for an emergency vote to reinstate Daniel Graystone as the CEO.
Whatever they have told you, they are obligated to kill me.
I know the Guatrau, he's not an unreasonable man.
You have no idea who you're dealing with.
You do not reason with the Guatrau.
I have been asked to betray my loyalties.
Why have you been so good to me? 'Cause I loved Zoe too.
Doctor, there are people around us, these monotheists I think your friend Clarice Willow is one.
You want me to spy on my friend? This is Amanda Graystone.
She's gonna be staying with us for a while.
If Clarice Willow is who I think she is, then we could take down the entire S.
T.
O The people who murdered your daughter.
You know, I think you might be the only person I can talk to.
Tell me everything.
Good morning, Cap City Well, my day has already started government forces used heavy armor to push back the rebel sunny day, but I'm afraid the rain will be back So, I tried to play this Holoband game, New Cap City I held up a liquor store and I rolled a guy in the alley If I do it three more times, I'll have enough money to actually buy the game and play it.
It's okay, I'm here.
Hey, Ev, can you incorporate my notes on the shareholders meeting? You know, your faith in me is touching.
What, meaning? Already on your desk! It's open! Morning.
Hey Sam! Kid ready yet? He's still eating.
Take a load off.
Hi Sam.
Hello.
Good morning, Larry.
Here we go again.
Why don't you stop busting my balls? It's a little early, don't you think? Hey, Ev, can you Yeah, yeah, yeah, coffee.
Why do you ask? were drawn between the agrarians and heracletes.
Nay ton dia.
You watching this skor? Language.
Oh, but you should watch this, Willie.
Your father and uncle lived through this when they were your age, now it's happening again.
Take a good look, kid.
That's your home world.
People like us are getting crushed under tanks because fat colonies like this one are propping up the crooks that run that place.
Speaking of which, here we go.
Headed by Andreas Phaulkon, the so-called "playboy dictator.
" Just look at that man.
His people dying, but, oh, not a care in the world.
Someone should put that nothoss down like the dog - that he is.
- Yeah.
What are you doing? Cutting you off.
Bad enough he's got every tv in the house going 24/7.
He's also sending practically everything he makes back to the cause.
You want to turn that back on, please? What cause? Sending money to Tauron? Okay, okay, enough politics for one morning.
You go to school so that you can go and earn a living.
I can't find my keys.
I've got them.
Kid, I'm gonna be in the car.
Okay.
All right.
- Have a good day.
- You too.
Bye, grandma.
You're good for him, you know? No kidding.
If somebody didn't manage his life, he'd still be chasing ambulances.
No, that's not what I mean, and you know it.
You should look in on him tonight, make sure he's got all his appointments for tomorrow too.
Willie and I will be at my sister's.
Oh, gods.
I just love that smell, don't you? Makes me feel like the whole day is waiting for me like a fresh sheet of paper.
Hmm.
Thank you.
Rough night again, huh? Been up since 4:00.
I cannot get my brain to turn off.
Maybe you'd sleep better upstairs.
That an invitation? Yeah, I think it's about time.
I don't know whose idea this separate bed thing was away.
Eh, I'd probably just keep you up.
Maybe I'd keep you up.
It's that program, isn't it? I keep running into roadblocks.
Zoe's code, what I remember of it, was so so intuitive.
Makes me feel like a hack trying to recreate it.
You'll figure it out.
I have faith in you.
I wish you did.
The passing of a loved one is a terrible thing, a tragedy that leaves us bereft, our lives and our world that much smaller.
But what if I told you there was a way to ease this heartache thanks to a breakthrough technology from Graystone industries? Johnny! Tessa! - Dad! - Daddy! Imagine never having to say good-bye to your loved ones again.
Imagine a future without loss, brought to you today.
Grace by Graystone.
Because some memories should live forever.
We're still negotiating for the rights to the song, but that's how the finished spot will look when it airs.
If it airs.
"If it airs"? Is there a problem with the resurrection program? No, no, my problem is with this commercial.
For one thing, I didn't even know it was being made.
We didn't want to distract you from your work on the product itself.
Oh, thank you.
And since our research shows that most people still see Daniel as the face of Graystone, we went ahead with the computer-generated image.
I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
You didn't think I'd have a problem with the appropriation of my image for a marketing campaign that I never even signed off on? If you don't respond to my emails That's my image, Cyrus.
That's my image.
It's a good likeness though.
It's not even well-rendered.
I want it scrubbed.
No.
It's sweet.
Children will find it comforting.
I'm not necessarily objecting to the concept.
It's the execution.
I think people Even kids Will know that it's a digital image, and that can be off-putting.
Then may I suggest that you reshoot it? And this time, use the actual Dr.
Graystone.
After all, there's no substitute for the real thing.
That's fine.
Put that on my calendar, please.
Will do.
Okay, okay, that's enough.
Take out your math homework.
Get to work.
Here, grab an edge.
Help me make this tub more comfy.
All right.
So Any day now, huh? But you don't have a due date? Nope.
And I don't know whether it's a girl or a boy.
I didn't want a sonogram or an amnio.
Not even a blood test.
Amanda, I thought I made it clear.
I trust in my faith and my family to help me deliver a healthy baby.
No, I know, I know.
I I I guess I'm just thinking like a doctor.
Can you do me a favor and do a grocery run? The list is on the fridge.
Yeah, sure.
Absolutely.
What's going on with Zoe's program? Any progress? Well, the G.
D.
D.
seized Zoe's belongings, so they should have the pin with the program in it.
Arvo's got his G.
D.
D.
mole on it.
The G.
D.
D.
? Yes, Mar-Beth.
You've got us stealing from the G.
D.
D.
now? Adopting terror mom isn't enough for you? Don't call her that.
She's a tabloid celebrity, Clarice.
Having her here is like turning this house into a giant lightning rod.
It's God's will for me to keep her close, therefore I trust in God to keep us all safe.
Funny how God's will always seems to serve your needs.
I didn't choose this path.
The things I've done, the things that I've allowed to happen, I've not taken any pleasure in them.
They've been a necessary sacrifice.
Apotheosis will bring the 12 worlds under the one true God.
And it's my destiny to make that happen, and I will.
Even if the next sacrifice turns out to be your family? Well, I pray God that he never asks that of me.
"G.
" For "Graystone.
" You get it? You gotta admire the orkhayss on these fat cats.
They're like taggers slapping their names up and down walls and buildings because they own those walls and buildings.
You know, they don't want you to forget it.
Oh, all right.
What's up, Sam? - Hmm? - Talk to me.
What's bugging you? I had a dream last night.
Nightmare actually.
We were back on Tauron seeing it happen again.
I don't wanna talk about that.
Yeah, well, I guess it's 'cause it is happening again.
Gonna be a lot more kids like us before this is over.
Well, it's a bad situation.
Meanwhile I got Larry giving me nothing but grief, 'cause I sent a little extra back home this month.
He's not like us You know, he just doesn't get it.
Are you that strapped? How much you sending back? I bought some guns too.
Nothing heavy.
Smalls arms, just whatever I could shake off the streets.
You're running guns to Tauron? Does the Guatrau even know about this? No wonder Larry's angry with you.
He's worried about you.
You're playing with fire.
Yoseef, they're our people, and they are down to throwing stones.
I have to do something.
Evelyn understands.
She sends money.
I know you get it.
But my own husband, no respect for what you and I have gone through? I feel like I don't even know the guy anymore.
Sam, you don't know how lucky you are.
Everybody goes through this at some point.
- Yeah? - It'll pass.
It's part of marriage.
You should be thankful.
You got somebody who loves you.
You're getting stronger.
You scared me.
Good.
Keeps you on your toes.
Yeah.
So what have you gotten so far? I can't even remember the kids' names.
These people don't even trust me to do the dishes.
Who's the biggest problem right now? Mar-Beth.
She pretty much runs the place.
I can't believe I talked myself into this.
No, you're doing fine.
You just stay observant, pick up what you can Subgroups, patterns of behavior, pecking orders, anything like that.
It's all good.
But you gotta work on fitting in.
Good gods, Duram.
Fitting in? These people killed my daughter.
You want to connect with these people, you gotta lose that anger.
You focus on Mar-Beth, open yourself up to her.
Hell, I don't care what you do, but do it soon.
Got a bad feeling we're running out of time.
Just tell me what we need, and I'll get it.
Good-bye.
Look at these guys.
Frakkin' city workers, all the time in the world.
I mean, what if we really did have a dead guy rotting in the back? Come on! Frak, get us outta here, come on! Help the gentlemen out of their car.
All right, all right.
Let's see what we have here.
Looks like cause of death was gun-related.
Atreus, Adelfeh, we're not looking for a fight here.
Nothoss! Demos! Do it.
Do it! Whoops.
I'm out.
You tell your Guatrau to stay out of our gun business, or the soil is gonna get crowded.
Let's go.
All the flavor and none of the calories.
Something tells me I'm gonna be hungry later though.
What are you working on? Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but I'm working on you.
On me? I'm refining the algorithms that extrapolate personality traits and memories from online data.
Still, it seems like I've got a long ways to go.
A long ways to go before? Maybe you need to work on my brain some more, because I'm not following you.
That's my problem, not yours.
Hmm.
I may not be perfect, but I am good at some things.
I bet I could please you.
I don't doubt it.
A healthy sex drive, along with a desire to please are baseline components the program builds into every avatar.
You make it sound so mechanical.
You're working too hard.
You need a vacation.
Right, a vacation.
That's the ticket.
When was the last time you had one? Goodness.
Well I think Zoe was nine, so seven years ago.
That is a long time without a break.
It was bitter cold that winter, so we decided to go someplace warm.
Not fancy though.
We found a campground on one of the Ionian islands.
You know, come to think of it, Zoe, she actually celebrated her ninth birthday there.
Hmm.
And we gave her a camera.
Let me just see what I can find here.
Just move this up Here.
Zoe.
Get rid of this.
There.
I remember that tent.
I stayed in one just like it.
You remember how it smelled, the canvas after the rain? "It rains here every afternoon like clockwork.
I guess dad forgot to ask about the rainy season.
" Zoe's diary.
Yeah, I guess so.
That's fine, but you're still just regurgitating quotes and facts.
I want you to really try to remember how it felt.
Like the night that we snuck outta the tent when Zoe was sleeping.
We got a bottle of wine and we ran down that path.
To the beach.
There was just enough moonlight to see the surf.
And the air was cold, but the water was so warm.
That's my journal now.
Don't just parrot it back.
Really remember.
Remember.
Remember the the feel of the sand on our bodies.
And we made love.
Yes.
We didn't care about the sand, because we were We were It's like we were hungry for each other.
Like I feel now.
Our memories Our memories are shaped by shared experiences.
If I apply a social networking model and cast a wider data net, I might be able to Make love to me.
I want you to make love to me like that night.
Let me do what I'm good at.
Let me please you.
I don't remember you asking for permission to send weapons to Tauron.
I'm sorry, Guatrau.
But what I did, I did for a good cause.
How could we not help our own people to protect themselves? The gun trade belongs to Atreus.
He was within his rights to kill Demos.
His death is your responsibility.
You must show them that you are anair hoss oo katakaysetie.
But because you acted on this alone, you must take care of this alone.
By the end of the day.
Or I'll have yostigmata removed with a blowtorch before I wish you safe journey.
Daniel, we need to talk.
Oh, hey, listen, I'm sorry about this morning.
We're all under a lot of pressure, - but I shouldn't have snapped.
- Forget it.
If it's any consolation, I think I may have just had a breakthrough with the resurrection program.
Yeah, this is about something else.
Come here for a sec.
Sure.
What's on your mind? You asked me to keep an eye on the books.
Take a look at these.
Time cards.
Why am I looking at Oh.
Since when did we add a third shift? Since never, as far as I know.
Check out the shipping and receivable.
Yeah, I don't recognize these parts numbers.
No pricing.
And no customer data.
Damn it, something's flying out the back door.
Yeah, but what exactly? I mean, are they dumping Holobands on the grey market or what? Yeah, maybe.
Well, what do you want to do, ask the Ha'la'tha how they're ripping us off? No, don't do anything just yet.
Tap into our surveillance system.
See if you can find out what's going on.
Thank you, Cyrus.
You question our ways, our personal conviction, even the way I have my baby.
I wasn't questioning you.
I'm a doctor.
I'm used to thinking a certain way about certain things, that's all.
Yeah, well, so am I.
And you have to leave.
I don't want you in my house.
I'm sorry it has to be like that.
I'm afraid it does.
You're wrong about one thing though.
I don't think you're crazy about how you're choosing to have your baby, I don't.
I'm jealous, actually.
How so? Zoe was an accident.
I wasn't planning on having a child.
I was busy building a practice.
Daniel was obsessed with his career.
I mean, we weren't prepared.
I kept thinking that that was what I should want, and I thought that eventually instinct would just kick in and everything would be fine.
But every time someone touched my belly, I would cringe.
And when she was born, I didn't want to hold her.
Postpartum depression.
Yeah.
I got over it.
I loved Zoe.
But I think children babies Pick up on that stuff, those early feelings.
Sometimes I think that's why Zoe and I fought so much.
I think that might even be the reason that she drifted.
Anyways Mar-Beth, I see you here in this house with this big, beautiful family, and the noise and the chaos, and I know that maybe you take it for granted, but I don't.
I feel very, very lucky to have been able to share this time with you, even if it's just a little while.
So thank you, Mar-Beth.
Yoseef.
See you found my favorite smoking spot.
Don't worry, I will cede the ground.
Stay if you want.
It's your name on the building.
I always think about lighting up inside, but I guess it's the littlest rules that are hardest to break.
I'm not your enemy, Graystone.
Yeah, funny, there was a time I thought we might actually be friends.
Times change.
Guess neither of us managed to break our bad habits though.
Guess not.
Never shoulda started up again.
It's like every decision I've made since the bombing has been a wrong turn.
By now, I've made so many of them I'm not sure I even know how to get back.
Get back to where? To who I was, or who I thought I was.
You can't do that alone.
You may need somebody.
You need someone who can see the man you were inside the man you've become and forgive you.
Did your wife do that for you? Yeah.
Till your daughter blew her up.
Did you see the frakkin' look he gave me? That guy was a short hair away from pissing himself.
Ah, the Guatrau.
The mighty Guatrau, I'll tell you something, we put that old frakker on notice today.
Next time we go after his dopers and his judges.
King is dead.
Long live the king.
Oh, what can I say? I promise to be a kind and generous monarch.
Hey, is somebody using the elevator? Let me guess, you're bringing some more girls? Call downstairs.
Oh, what the frak? This someone's idea of a joke? There's no answer downstairs.
Oh, frak me.
Frak me.
It's Atreus, right? I don't think you ever formally introduced yourself.
Look, man, all your guns are there.
And I got a ton more.
I got machine guns, I got grenade launchers.
Take 'em, take 'em all.
Hmm.
Thanks.
That was quite the stunt you pulled on me today.
Thought I'd return the favor.
Oops.
Guess I'm out.
How 'bout you? No.
No! No! Task completed.
By your command.
How are you with tanks? I want to thank you for coming.
I'm not sure why I'm here.
I asked you not to call anymore.
I know, I know.
And I know that you want to stay with Clarice for a while, and I understand that.
That's okay, I just I would like to talk about us, our future, moving forward, how we move forward, if we even want to move Assuming that that's something that we both want.
Okay.
Okay.
I think I think we should start by being honest with each other, completely honest, which means that I've got to tell you some things you may not be ready to hear.
Like? Well, it starts with With why I stole Vergis' chip.
It was so I could bring our daughter back.
You're talking about the avatar, aren't you? No.
But you said that I lied.
I lied about that.
It was real.
For all intents and purposes, she was Zoe.
Gods.
There's more.
In order to get my company back, I needed help so I went back to the Ha'la'tha.
And because I did that Because of the choices I made, Tomas Vergis is dead.
He's dead.
He he bled out at my feet right right over there, actually.
Oh, gods, Daniel.
I can't believe this.
Oh, this all seems so unreal.
I know.
I know.
Believe me, I have tried to make sense of it myself, tried to figure out how in the worlds I got to this place.
And the one thing I keep coming back to is Zoe.
All I know is that once I found her again, I I couldn't let go.
I wanted her back in my life so bad that I was willing to do anything, anything to get her back.
Including killing Vergis? I didn't want that.
That was I didn't fully understand where it was all going to lead.
I just wanted things back the way they were You know, you and me, our family, the life that we had before.
Everything I did, everything I have done, has been about trying to get back to that place.
However however crazy it seems now.
What do you expect from me? Just to forgive you, wipe the slate clean? I don't know.
Can you? Would you? Yes, yes.
Yes, of course I can.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
How can you forgive me after everything I've told you? But I thought Obviously it was just half-truths.
My motives aren't that pure.
Nobody's are, no matter what they claim, and you should know that by now.
You should know that.
But Daniel, I don't understand.
I don't understand any of this.
And what's more, it doesn't matter.
- I love you.
- Stop saying that.
- Stop saying that, please.
- But it's true.
No, it's not! You can't love me.
You can't love anyone, because you're not human.
You're a thing.
Daniel, I'm very confused.
I don't know what you want from me.
I want you to be real! I want you to be her! And my real wife would never forgive me like that.
She would call me on my crap and walk straight out that door and probably never come back.
And you know what? I would deserve it.
I would deserve it.
Daniel.
I would deserve it.
Guatrau, if you had seen this thing in action I've seen the test sessions.
It's an impressive weapon.
But like any other weapon, it's only as intelligent as the hand that wields it.
Those robots could turn this entire rebellion around.
With the amount we're selling to the military, the loss would be minimal, a drop in the bucket.
And how much would we lose if your rebels came to power? Would they continue to do business with us or would their high-minded principles get in the way? They're Tauron.
And so are the people they're fighting.
Samuel, do you remember what "Ha'la'tha" means? Of course, Guatrau.
It means "always faithful to the soil.
" Like the soil underfoot.
We are everywhere, and we endure.
Governments are ephemeral, they rise, fall, and return to the soil.
The way we endure is by staying out of politics.
It wasn't like that in the beginning, back home.
This is home now.
This is where your family is.
Your obsession with the old world is a distraction.
! It ends here.
Guatrau.
Good night, Samuel.
Almighty God, creator and destroyer, whose love binds us in an eternal embrace.
Today we ask you to welcome a new life to your bosom as we welcome it to ours, to nurture and protect this seedling so that it may grow roots in the most stony of soils and bear lush fruit, and thereby remind us that though our lives may be hard, as when we struggle to accept the sadness that is one part our lot, so too do we embrace the joy.
For every ending brings a new beginning, as surely as spring follows winter.
And thus in the face of adversity we are heartened to renew our spirit and reclaim our cause.
For yours is the power and the glory, oh, God.
And your love that consecrates us all.
For yours is the promise of life everlasting on these worlds and on the world hereafter.
So say we all.
So they've accepted you.
For now anyway.
How'd you do it? I lied.
Good girl.
