Caprica s01e15 Episode Script

The Dirteaters

Previously on Caprica I'm stuck in V World, and neither Tamara nor I can leave.
I remember you from the darkroom, Tamara.
- I know how scared you were.
- We are nothing alike! New Cap City is disgusting.
I have a purpose, and I think you're supposed to help me.
Imagine a world in which death has been conquered.
Praise the one true God.
Only they will savor life everlasting in a virtual heaven that we have built.
My plan for apotheosis has been put into motion, but I have to overcome some obstacles.
My GDD contact tells me you have a spy in your house.
I have a CI.
I knew it.
Read it, shred it.
Don't speak of it, don't log it in to any sheet.
I can't have this one burned.
She trusts me.
You hear they fished a floater from the Titaressos? I had nothing to do with this.
I've been asked by the GDD to spy on Clarice.
I can't let them catch me eavesdropping again.
If you could get me a camera or a bug, I could plant it in Clarice's room.
I'll get you the tech.
We've taken over Graystone industries, but I don't agree with the Guatrau's decisions.
You think my decision to sell your robots off-world is stupid.
Tell me the Guatrau changed his mind.
Tell me they're going home to our people.
STO.
Oh, nice.
Those robots could turn this entire rebellion around, and give our people the firepower that they need.
Your obsession with the old world is a distraction.
It ends here.
He's a very ambitious man, - but you're right not to trust him.
- We're killing him? Do it quietly, Samuel.
Big advisor to the Guatrau.
How's it feel? Terrible.
Crippled with guilt, of course.
I'm not happy.
I'm not happy about arming the STO or about this Graystone move.
Graystone? Well, he's not our enemy.
He's been doing everything we've asked him to do, and still we're gonna take him out? He doesn't deserve to have his throat cut.
Sure he does.
We all do.
Look, first of all, he knew exactly what he was getting into.
And second, you can't stop it.
getting promoted A promotion, by the way, I helped set up for you.
Yeah.
Don't do me any favors.
Ah, good.
Everyone's here.
- Guatrau.
- Such men.
I found these two at a refugee orphanage.
Or perhaps I should say, they found me.
This one tried to pick my pocket, and I knew right then he had the stones to become one of us.
And this one, always with the eyes, always calculating something.
And now they make me proud, as if I were their father.
I'm so pleased.
Today, one of them joins us, and the other one becomes a leader of men.
As a Captain.
You will lead us as you have been led.
You, my Son.
I'm so happy this day is finally here.
You've earned your mark.
- Ha'la'tha.
- Ha'la'tha.
This is the skew-ay me-lanos your grandfather passed down to me.
Now, he used it to give me my mark of manhood The mark of faithfulness to the soil.
Yoseef, today, you will get your mark of manhood.
You have done well to earn it, learning the ancient prayers and passages of the sacred scrolls.
Yoseef, I seem to have forgotten my robes.
Can you find them for me? Samuel, allow your brother his day.
He needs this.
You two are different.
Your brother, he feels things on the inside, but you a blind man could see how you feel.
The very first day I held you in my arms, I knew you were a man.
Then I should get a mark too.
Allow your brother his day.
Your day will come.
Go see what's taking your brother so long.
I was out in the fields.
Trucks full of Heracleides troops are coming in.
Must be reprisal.
I was against blowing up their grain silos for this very reason.
They oppress us.
They should pay.
We have to be more careful.
People are desperate and hungry, and our neighbors would turn us in for a sack of bread.
It's time.
They need to know.
Do you know how your grandparents returned to the soil? With pride.
Fighting for what they believed in, like other Adamas before them.
They decided on their own terms how they would return to the soil.
Your father and I are no different.
And when an Adama starts a fight, we finish it one way or another.
But not everyone lives by our rules.
Like the Heracs? Yes, Joseph.
That's the reason for this The kha-pi.
It will return you to the soil.
We have knowledge of the Ha'la'tha resistance.
If we're ever caught by the Heracs, they will try to make us reveal those secrets.
And they'll use you against us.
This will keep our secrets safe.
Do you understand? You have always been my little Adama men.
Time now to be men for Tauron.
Lords of Kobol: Before the Fall Ah, they're back! Avenging Angels, here to clean up New Cap City.
Defend yourselves or take off your bands.
I don't think we need this in our world, do you? Let's just clean it.
It's about time.
I was getting worried they weren't gonna show.
Let's kill 'em.
Right behind you.
Thought you'd never make it.
You look nothing like Zoe Graystone.
Whoever programmed you was a hack.
What's so funny? They won't be laughing long.
Frak.
They're cheating.
Don't you know the rules? No packing heat in slash & cut.
This is New Cap City.
There are no rules.
Frak, frak, frak, frak! You should have ducked.
What, and duck out like you did, you coward? Come on.
You know damn well I've been working on my avatar for the last five years.
I can't believe I can never go back into New Cap City.
Looks like you have to find a new game to play.
Frakking Avenging Angels.
Are you both finished playing that ridiculous game? And I thought I asked you to pack up all of Mar-Beth's personal things.
Send it out with the trash.
No, we're keeping them for the baby, who's still a part of this family.
Then we're gonna think up a good story to tell him when he's old enough.
Yeah, well, what are we gonna tell terror mom? That Mar-Beth couldn't handle being a mother, so she left.
I mean, some people just aren't cut out to be a parent, are they? And can you just show a little bit more respect to Amanda? Yeah.
Fine.
Whatever.
You're the boss.
Yeah.
Remember that.
You know, a little banding might work off some of that stress.
I mean, you really should meet the Avenging Angels.
Yeah.
They'd They'd love you.
And you'd love them.
I mean, one of them's even playing dress-up with Zoe Graystone's avatar.
Get your priorities straight.
What's wrong with your boss? He must know science doesn't work on a timetable.
Two weeks is an unreasonable deadline.
Come on, Graystone.
Thought we were here to box.
The resurrection technology will work.
It will change the worlds.
You cannot allow him to let this opportunity get away.
Now you're just swinging blindly.
Come on, Daniel.
Learn your opponent's tendencies.
If he's stronger than you, move so he can't hit you, okay? If he's faster than you, tie him up.
Come on! Go for me! Come on, Daniel, find your opponent's weakness, and then attack him there.
Or he will kill you.
Think about it.
Come on, Daniel, fight.
Samuel Adama, orphaned refugee from Tauron.
Multiple arrests ranging from misdemeanor petty thefts to gambling, assault, battery, and extortion.
Native Taurons are a proud, passionate race, a loyal and stoic culture in which family ties are secondary only to personal honor.
30 years ago, the Tauron uprising began when poorly-armed native rebel forces known as the Ha'la'tha attacked the presidential barracks, initiating a two-year civil war.
In the aftermath, the victorious Heracleides forces attempted a genocide by using "murder squads" commonly referred to as Heracs.
Facing extinction, the Ha'la'tha transformed, becoming an illegal underground organization throughout the 12 colonies.
Search the Guatrau's shell company, Obolus Inc.
Obolus is a Leonis corporation with holdings across the 12 Colonies.
Caprican securities service has recently dropped two investigations of the company dealing with allegations of insider trading.
Show me recent mergers and acquisitions.
Show me the status of those companies.
Show me status of the CEOs.
That is an old likeness of you, Daniel.
Would you like me to update the image? Following the seizure of a massive shipment of Saggitaron arms bound for rebel forces on Tauron, foreign minister Kristoff used strong words today, saying that, "the successful Tauron army operation proves "that we will soon be returning these insurgents to their holes.
" Defense minister Patel confirmed today that no Caprican troops will be sent to Tauron in peacekeeping efforts, stating that, "'We haven't been asked for our help yet.
'" While here at home, entrepreneurs jump to capitalize on the Avenging Angels phenomenon.
TAURON THIRTY YEARS AGO Sam, what's going on? Don't go out there.
Come back.
You shouldn't have taken that.
You're afraid of everything.
Look who lost his limo.
Out of your neighborhood, Cappa? May I speak with you for a moment? Man's got attachments.
Gotta appreciate that.
Taurons have always intrigued me.
Your loyalties to one another, to your colony.
As opposed to you Cappa fraks, who don't care about skor.
No tradition, no ethos.
I meant no offense.
I'm just looking to understand better the people I'm in bed with Yeah, well, my appreciation for you is wearing off.
You don't like Capricans, do you? That ink there.
Isn't that the mark of an assassin? It's going to be you, isn't it? - Me what? - Are you going to use the knives? Or are you gonna take me for a drive somewhere? You're losing me here, Graystone.
When is it going to happen? Right after I hand in the resurrection program or will you wait a few days? Nothing could be further from the Guatrau's mind.
We're not animals, you know.
More than just a Ha'la'tha proverb? Your pronunciation needs some work.
So what? So we're gonna take steams together now, do lunch? Yeah? You coming at me this way, like you're my friend? Why do you follow this particular Guatrau? Now, what's that supposed to mean? Well, you despise Capricans.
He is a pure Caprican.
He's no more Tauron than I am.
Now, see, that kind of talk, that does get you killed.
He's selling Cylons for profit to the STO when he knows the difference one unit would make for the resistance on Tauron.
Just one.
For his people, for his soil.
You know what they're capable of.
Imagine a single soldier robot, fighting for your cause, the cause that your parents You don't know frak about my parents.
No, I don't.
But I'd be surprised if they put profit above the good of their own people.
Listen, I can help you, help Tauron.
I have the codes, backdoor access to the mainframe, and a private transport.
The Guatrau will never know.
You're not exactly an out-of-the-goodness- of-your-heart kind of guy.
I've done my research.
I know how this ends for me.
Even if what you're implying is true, which I'm not saying it is, what makes you think I could do something about it? You just got your horns inked.
That's a big promotion.
Quid pro quo.
I give you Cylons, and you find a way to keep me alive.
I haven't seen you use this since law school.
I thought maybe Didn't smoke much until a few months ago.
I didn't really need to.
What? I never noticed that before.
Let me see.
- It's nothing.
It's - What? Is it the Guatrau? He's not sending any cubits to Tauron? It's not the time.
I'm just saying, you have the Guatrau's ear now.
- He will listen to you.
- Yeah? About what? - Huh? - Tauron? Yes! The only loyalties he has is to cubits.
That's why he's able to just What's bothering you? Come on.
He's selling Cylons to the Gods damned STO terrorists.
The same terrorists who killed my little girl.
My wife.
My family.
I'm sorry.
That just didn't even occur to me.
I was just thinking of Tauron.
Stay calm.
Who is it? Open the door! Or lose it! Get the boys out.
Go.
Hide at the meeting place.
We'll join you.
Why so long opening the door? I didn't have any pants on.
I couldn't answer the door in my bedclothes.
We've interrupted your breakfast, I see.
Where's the rest of your family? Out to play.
You know boys.
They can't sit still for a minute.
We we don't want any trouble.
So you stay out of things, huh? Maybe you can help us then.
Did you hear anything last night? No, we're pretty sound sleepers.
- Nothing? - No.
One of our brothers in arms was murdered just outside this building last night, and not a single dirteater heard a Gods damn thing.
My hearing isn't so good.
The machinery in the fields You heard that okay.
Lieutenant.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Jordan.
- May I speak to you? - I'm busy.
It's not a request! You know, I am sick of the pleasantries.
know you're dirty, Gara, and as soon as I get the proof, I'm gonna bring you down.
You should.
I am a firm believer, if you have proof, you should use it.
What's with the IA rat tail? He's here as a witness.
Oh, yeah? Witness to what? You lost a confidential informant.
I gave you my CI.
Well, no.
If you recall, I asked for your CI'S identity to prevent exactly what happened to that poor woman, but you denied me.
- I handed you Mar-Beth willow's file.
- Okay, look, I admit responsibility for this.
Maybe I pushed you too hard for results.
We were all scared by the Maglev bombing, but it's an important lesson for all of us.
We can't cut corners.
We can't circumvent procedure.
We can't use the GDD for our own personal vengeance.
It wasn't vengeance, and I followed procedure to the "T".
If it was just me, I would take you at your word.
But it's in the hands of Internal Affairs now.
They have this.
I've given you a lot of leeway on this case.
And I have never divulged the identity of an active CI, not to anyone.
I need the jackets for any and all informants you have in the field.
And until I get that, you don't get so much as a paper clip.
Believe it or not, you work for me.
I work for Caprica.
Where's the part I gave you Mar-Beth's file? You might not want to say anything until we've had a chance to confer with counsel.
Frak this.
I hate to do this, but I've got to take your badge and gun.
You're off-duty until the investigation of Mar-Beth Willow's death is complete.
All right.
I will stay on top of this personally.
Global Defense Department.
Hello, can I speak to agent Jordan Duram, please? Hold one moment.
Miss, Agent Duram no longer works at the GDD.
I can connect you to agent Youngblood.
She's taking over all of his cases.
Where did you get the gun? You know where.
You planted it.
Maybe your wife can tell me.
Isabelle! Isabelle.
All you have to do is give me the names of your dirteater friends.
No? Okay, then.
Isabelle.
Stop it! You stop it! Isabelle! Samuel, no! Samuel, stop.
My knees are ruined.
I won't be able to walk.
Samuel, get me the kha-pi.
Quick, go! We don't have much time! Go! Take your brother and go! Go! You stop this madness! You stop this madness! We have done nothing wrong! We live a peaceful life! We have done nothing wrong! Things change.
Excuse me, where'd you get that t-shirt? Well, they're selling them everywhere.
- I'll buy it off you for 100 cubits.
- You're Daniel Graystone.
Oh, my Gods, you're Daniel Graystone.
- All right.
I'm your biggest fan.
- Thank you.
You know, sometimes when I wear the band for more than four hours, I start to hear this whirring sound.
It gives me a real migraine.
- I'll be sure to look into that.
- Oh, cool.
You know the holohaters say that banding causes brain damage.
I band 24/7.
I'm totally gravy.
You know, that's not really your daughter, right? That's an avatar.
Oh, man.
Oh, yeah, they've been hitting this area of New Cap.
These days, most of my clientèle are here to kill them or get killed by them.
Either way, you're famous, right? There they are now.
Come on.
- Zoe? Zoe, wait! - Hey, wait your turn.
Wait! I want to talk to you! There's a line.
I can't believe he found us.
How? It's this Avenging Angels thing.
People are coming in to fight us.
They must be talking about it in the real world.
Like king of the mountain, it's just a sport to them.
We can just get out of this game.
We can go and get lost in V-World.
I mean, it's massive.
He'll never find us.
No.
It's safer in New Cap City.
We're Gods in here.
Let's act like it and forsake these motherfrakkers.
We can build a place where nobody will be able to touch us.
What? What? Well, it's just It's just all wrong.
Well, we worked really hard on it.
And I'd expect Zeus to come wandering from behind the columns to congratulate you.
It's too traditional.
These people have just given up their lives to the one true God.
They've just died and they're opening their eyes to To life everlasting and it's got to be Look, they'll be able to create any kind of virtual terrain they desire.
Yes, I know that everybody's going to be able to create their own heaven, but first of all, they're gonna see this, what we've created, and it's got to It's got to glorify God.
It's got to be soaring arches and stained glass windows and statues built into the walls.
Statues of who? Um, well, of Of those of us that were there at the beginning.
It's it's gonna be beautiful.
What were you thinking? The Cappa gave you the codes to get this out of here? Just one code at a time.
Don't get to be the richest man in the colonies by giving it away.
- That's true.
- He's coming.
- Frak.
How close? - Close.
All right, stall him for me.
I need a couple minutes, all right? - Let's go.
Are you good? - One sec.
- Hey, pops.
- Hey.
What are you doing here? - I was looking for you and your thios.
- Oh, that's cool.
I thought I told you to stay in the upstairs offices.
It's boring up there.
Hey, I was thinking we maybe could go fishing again.
Like last time.
- You hated it.
- What? No.
It was great.
What do you think? How about tomorrow? It's time to go home.
Are you ever gonna tell me what's going on? What? Just having a drink with my brother? Don't frak with me.
I know.
I know, Samuel.
Crossing the Guatrau.
I've got ink now.
We'll both be held accountable.
Do you have any idea how crazy this is? You're putting everyone you care about at risk.
It's what our parents fought for.
.
I don't need a history lesson.
Maybe you do.
'Cause maybe you could stand around and watch this happen all over again, but I can't.
I know you wanted to protect them.
I know.
Sarah Frenal.
Sarah Frenal.
You said that name already.
I want another name.
Do it.
Sam, you have to.
You know I'll find your children.
Just give me the names of your dirteater friends and this will all end for you.
Shoot now.
Please.
You did it, Joseph.
You did it.
Yoseef, we don't have much time.
It's okay.
Send me to the soil.
Make me proud.
Go! Now! Run! I'm ready, Yoseef.
There is no other way.
Oh, Sam.
You can't change the past, Sam.
No, but I finally found a way to avenge it.
If I don't continue our parent's fight, their return was for nothing.
It wasn't your fault.
How could you have known what was gonna happen when you brought the gun back? We were just boys.
Yeah.
You should have come to me, Sam.
We've got to be smart.
What? We bear this pain together.
I forgot who I was.
I forgot who I am.
My my promises.
You're with me? I'm your brother.
I'm always with you.
If we're gonna go up against the Guatrau, we're gonna have to do it together.
Ha'la'tha means "always faithful to the soil.
" There's something we gotta be more faithful to.
- Mother said there's nothing - We choose our own path.
We'll be faithful to each other.
As Adamas.
I'm sorry.
Traffic was awful.
happened to your face? Daniel, what? Zoe's alive.
What? She's You're talking about the avatar, yes? Well, it's not It's not that simple.
It's our daughter.
What do you mean? - You said that - I know, I know.
I thought she was gone.
The program crashed.
She was gone, and now I don't understand it myself, but she's in there.
I've seen her.
You've seen her? She's she's in V-World.
I want to see her.
Well, let's go find her.
