Previously on Caprica...
My time at the STO is leading me on a different path.
Robot, shoot this man!
Stop!
How did you get that robot to stop?
I don't know.
I just told it to.
This girl, Lacy Rand, exerts unexplained control
over war machines we bought on the black market
You know what needs to be done.
I'll see to it.
The Guatrau can't know I'm sending robots to the Tauron resistance.
Fidelia Fazekas.
What the frak?
I'm looking into some stuff for the Guatrau
Looks to me like two in every two dozen or so robots isn't making it to the military.
What, has he got you checking up on me?
Just getting me up to speed.
If we're going to go up against the Guatrau, we're gonna have to do it together.
I need to finish what I started and take down Clarice.
This is the same model as Clarice's, but I've had it rigged.
Amanda, I need you to go back in there, bring me back the original
Hold on a second.
This isn't your band.
-Amanda. She took it. -Everything is on that band.
We have 24 hours to find Amanda.
I'm determined to bring Zoe back to the real world.
Tamara is alive in v-world.
She's with my daughter. They are holed up together, deep inside the game.
To reach them, I need a fighter.
I need to get my family back.
-You ready? -Yeah.
Good boy. Good boy.
What makes you think they're in these woods?
The last set of coordinates placed her avatar here.
This whole environment is Zoe's creation
I'm gonna go up ahead and get some bearings.
I still don't know what you need me for.
With any luck, we won't.
You two stay put.
I assume you're not checking out his ass.
I recognize that face
I don't trust him.
Gods.
Look at these leaves.
Each one is different.
And this light.
It's all so...
incredibly real.
And I don't have the foggiest idea how she did it.
Can't have been purely intuitive.
Generative algorithms? Stochastic processes?
Now I remember why we put the lab in the basement.
I'm just saying, it's one thing to write code, but...
what Zoe's done here is...
Well...
It's closer to what the gods did in the old creation myths.
Whatever our daughter is, she's not a god.
Gods, I hate this place.
What the frak was that?
Dragon fighters of Kobol.
What?
Zoe's favorite book, when she was a kid.
She's clearly expressing her rage.
- Trying to scare us off. - Or kill us.
She wouldn't go that far.
Would she?
You know, in v-world I could actually get a ship like this right now
And some day, they're gonna be able to zap memories of having a ship directly into your brain.
I just think it's more fun to do the thing.
If that's what you want.
The women and men who sailed on these ships...
would be at sea for... oh gosh, a really long time.
Sometimes their captains wouldn't even let them set foot in a port
because they knew they'd never come back.
So they wouldn't get to see their homes for years.
I wouldn't mind that.
You still miss your mom a lot, huh?
I guess.
A ship's crew is a lot like a family.
You know... they might lose a member
And they just bring someone else on board who could...
Well.
The family might change, but what's important is that it's still a family.
Do you think I could go and play in v-world? If that's all right?
Yeah, of course.
Cool, thank you.
Give him time.
You're wrong.
You asked for proof, I found it.
They cooked the books brilliantly...
but there were holes for anyone willing to look closely.
Don't act superior.
These are good men.
What they're doing, supplying these robots to the rebels, is going to be very popular
Popular with the stratiote, popular back home.
And that makes you look bad.
It's a slap in the face, Guatrau.
- It's Samuel and Yosif. - I know.
I know they're like sons to you, but I am your actual daughter.
Oh, come now.
Which is why you trust me to tell you...
the truth when everyone else is afraid to.
Especially in a matter like this, when you can't face it yourself.
And the truth, father, is that they are becoming a threat.
Quick and painless.
Yes, Guatrau.
Come on, come on.
Let's go. Come on.
Sync: Jenny, T., Malkavian Transcript: Lu_Tze
Dad, there's someone at the door.
It's okay, Willie. Go back to your room.
And stay in there. Evelyn.
- What? - Get back upstairs.
Get ready to call Sam. Just do it.
- Frankie. - Joseph.
Come on in.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Guatrau wants to see you.
Okay, look, let me tell Eve.
Just make a phone call from the car, grab a jacket, let's go.
- Look at me, I can't see the Guatrau like this. - Okay, go.
Hey.
Easy. Easy.
Nothing personal. Nothing personal.
Joseph!
Oh gods! Oh gods!
Never liked that one.
I'll call your brother.
It's okay. I'm okay.
So, you guys really buy in to this one true god stuff?
I mean, not the way they're going about it, not all the...
killing.
But underneath?
Well, yeah.
How exactly did you end up in a camp of die-hard monads?
I didn't ask to be invited to this little party.
I was drafted. By my parents.
But back to the question at hand.
The one true god is love.
Love pure and simple.
Love, okay, so is that why he teaches us to kill in his name?
I mean, I don't care who you are, polys, monads, whatever.
It seems like all they care about is killing each other.
Not all of them.
And the STO?
Come on, our so-called teachers?
You really think they speak for god, those animals?
No.
I don't.
Well good, Lacy, because they're gonna kill you.
- Huh? - Ignore him.
- Coto makes him mean. - No, no, reason it out.
Lacy controls their robots.
That threatens them.
But they'll get over that. And when they do...
Bullet to the head.
Half an hour.
- What? - That's how it worked in my time.
If I didn't call in within half an hour, another shooter was sent to follow.
We're gonna have to disappear.
All of us. Head off-world.
Sam, where the frak are you?
Alright, listen.
Frankie just tried to kill me.
They will be after you too.
You know where to meet me.
Ruth, can you go get Larry? Wake him up.
- Bring him to the spaceport. - Yes.
- Evelyn, you and Willie come with me. - Where are we going?
Goldie's.
Sam and I kept a stash of cash, and fake docs in case we ever needed to run.
-What are you talking about? -Goldie's may be Sam's place, but...
-No, no, no, we did not know. We're running from our own people.
¡Yosif!
I'll pick up the tickets and meet you at the spaceport.
Come on, let's go.
And if the Guatrau sends anyone after me...
A safe journey.
You'll forgive me, soldier Sinclair, but...
I'm a little puzzled.
I know you have a problem with Lacy Rand.
I just want to stay out of it.
Whatever it is you're going to do to her, I mean.
I have no loyalty to her.
My loyalty is to the Soldiers of The One, nothing else.
So you're just here to clarify.
Precision is an admirable quality in a soldier.
I like it.
So let us be very precise about where you stand.
Kill Lacy Rand for us.
What?
No, my entire point was I wanted to stay out of this, completely.
At first I thought we'd have to shut the power off to half the city.
But then I found out that the Graystones have their own subcircuit.
-Good. Makes it easier. -Exactly.
So, we approach the property, right through the front gate.
We force our way in, not triggering any alarms.
We move up the drive, not triggering any motion sensors,
'cause, again, the power is down.
Once we're inside the security perimeter...
We have to jam anything coming off the generator, including their phones.
Now, our mole at the GDD said that any calls that actually...
do make it to the police will be ignored, but...
Don't see the point in taking any chances, right now.
Are you sure you're gonna be able to keep it together?
I'm fine.
So once all the alarms are down...
we just have to force our way through the front door and the house is ours.
You are not welcome.
Please leave the premises immediately.
I thought you shut him down.
-You have five seconds... -So did I.
... until I initiate action.
Five, four, three, two, one...
-Do you hear that? -Yeah, let's go!
Emergency service, please tell me what the...
Security barricade initiated.
Frak!
Can you get us in?
Yeah, I can get us in.
It's-- It's that way.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
The avatars' coordinates are at the top of this hill.
So what happens when we get face to face with the girls?
It depends.
If it comes down to them or us...
there's gotta be a way to slow them down or stop them, right?
We should play poker some time.
I might soon get my company back.
What does that mean?
Well, first you say there's no way you're gonna help me...
Then you call me back and say you'll do it for the money.
-I really should have asked for more. -What do you want?
I want to find my niece, that thing that looks like Tammy
So I can put her out of her misery, let my brother move on with his life.
You show me how to kill Tammy.
And I'll protect you and guide you to that creature you think is your daughter.
And then?
Frak, I don't know. Play house with her for all I care.
And what if I don't want to help you kill Tamara?
I blow you and your wife out of this game and you never see your daughter again
That's an interesting first offer.
Let me counter.
You can't buy me off, Graystone.
Sweetheart, we were negotiating!
Oh yeah?
I told you I didn't trust that guy.
If you tell him how to kill Tamara...
-he'll kill Zoe too. -You don't know that.
Yes, I do.
How did you survive without me all these weeks?
5 MISSED CALLS 9 TEXTS WAITING
Sam, where the frak are you?
OK, listen, Frankie just tried to kill me.
Frak.
Two... three.
Here we go.
-Olaf, get this monitor up. -Got it.
I just have do decrypt and drain the Graystones' backup systems
-And that is gonna open the door? -Yes, it will if you leave me alone.
-Nestor, they're in v-world.
I thought you had all communications shut down.
It's some type of protected circuit, I can't get the loop.
Look, just let me focus on get the door open.
Is that my holoband she's wearing? I can't tell.
They all look the same to me.
Why don't we just shoot her?
And rip open her frakking head? I got an idea.
Okay.
Come on, transport's gonna leave without us.
Yeah, I just gotta get my stash.
What, you can't go ten minutes without lighting up?
No, not in this place.
What are you doing?
Down on the ground.
-No. -Down on your knees.
-No. -Get on the ground, Lacy.
-No. -Get on the ground!
-What are you doing? -Stay down!
I'm sorry, Lacy.
How far is it up that mountain?
I don't know. Maybe another eleven hour of walk?
And Zoe can just blink an appear...
-somewhere else in game? -Well, yes.
She can have us running in circles till we're old and grey.
Or one of her monsters kills us.
I could try to come up with some sort of a virus, flush her out of the game.
I'm just going to wait here until you're done talking crap.
Well, what?
What?
We're going about this all wrong.
Trying to grab Zoe in your black room?
Chasing after her in v-world?
Zoe's too much like us.
She's contrary.
If you chase her, she dodges.
If you corner her, she lashes out.
But if we invite her...
Let her come in her own terms.
Yeah.
Finish it.
It's because of the robots.
I'm afraid so.
You have anything you wanna tell me?
Did Clarice blend you?
No.
Ah, soldier, you were doing so well.
Get back!
Get back! You get back.
Got his key.
We can take the spare transport off-world.
-Good. -Yeah.
Let's go, now.
We're not running.
We're not?
Follow me.
Robots, power up.
We've got work to do.
All right.
If we do win her back...
do we put her in the robot again?
I'm working on it, just in case, but I can't imagine it would keep her happy.
For the time being, we have a virtual version of our house.
We could meet there and interact.
Holding her would feel as real to both of you...
as this.
But it's not real.
It's useless without a body.
You can make her one, can't you?
Olaf!
I think I'm in, check the door!
I'm here.
And?
-It's opening. -Oh, thank god.
Wait!
-There's another door behind. -Of course there is.
That's okay! It's okay!
I think I can just use the same code sequence.
For the inner door. I just need a minute.
Oh gods, it's so cold. I can feel it in my bones.
Can't we just take off our bands for a second, just to warm up?
If we do that, we lose all progress we've made in the game.
We have to start over.
Frak that. You're lame.
Come on, Zoe.
What's that?
Whatever it is, it's not real. It's not real.
It's not real.
Zoe.
Frak!
Step back or I'll supress you.
We're not here to hurt you.
You cannot hurt me.
Not anymore.
We just want you to come home. That's all.
You don't want me. You want her.
-To you, I'm just spare parts. -You're right.
You're right. I've done a lot of damage. I see that.
And I'm sorry.
I'm...
so...
I'm so sorry.
That's the best you've got?
You think that by telling me that I'm gonna fall in your arms?
-Daddy's little girl? -No, I don't expect that.
Gee, you are smart.
Zoe...
Sweetheart?
I'm sorry, do I know you?
Look at me, Zoe.
Look at my face.
Don't you remember me?
Those are her memories.
Not mine.
Look at me, Zoe, right here, right now.
And tell me that you don't remember me.
Yes, okay.
I remember.
And how does that make you feel?
Hate.
I hate you.
I fraking hate you, you stupid disgusting cow!
Zoe.
Please, just go. I hate both of you.
You know where we are.
We'll be waiting for you.
Whenever you're ready.
Always.
I'll think about it.
What happened? What is it?
Something is draining up power. Using the reserves.
-Ah, there's been a break in. -Oh, gods!
How long do we have?
Are they coming in?
I don't know.
Well, how long do we have before they get in?
Don't bother, they're jamming all the phone lines.
-How long, Daniel? -I don't know.
All right.
I'm gonna get close, see if anybody's in there.
-You know how to work this thing? -Yeah.
Okay, if I'm not back in ten minutes...
-take Willie to the spaceport. -Don't go.
-You'll be okay, I promise. -Dad.
-Okay? -Be careful.
Sam!
Where the frak were you?
He really did this? He put a hit on us?
-We thought he got you. -No, I'm good. I'm good. Let's do this.
-You guys sit tight. -I love you.
Come on.
Daniel, they're bypassing the fail safe.
Oh, no.
Hey! Move away!
Hands up. Don't move. Don't touch anything.
We're unarmed.
-Come here. -We're unarmed.
Move.
Sit down.
Sit down!
Where are the bands?
Over there.
Where is the band you stole from us?
I've hidden it somewhere where it will be publicly released...
-if I don't check in peiodically... -It's being analyzed as we speak.
They're lying. Search for it.
It's not here.
I just wanna talk to you.
I loved you.
I thought you were special.
You made Zoe.
Don't talk about my daughter.
Why not? I mean, I was more of a mother to her than you ever were.
-You sent her to die on that train. -Oh, you think I led her? No.
No, she led me.
She was the one that talked to angels.
They guided her.
Zoe saw it all.
She was just a kid.
You didn't really know her at all, did you?
Neither of you.
-You have all the power in here. -Oh, shut up!
I'm gonna kill you!
And my god will applaud me.
I want to know god.
What?
I...
I want god in my life.
You?
I'm not remotely capable of grasping the universe...
but clearly there's a spirit...
vastly superior to man, which is what always humbled me and I want to know.
I want to know something bigger than myself, something...
cleansing and forgiving...
-of all that I've done. Oh, come on!
And all that I've left undone.
Please.
Please, sister, please.
Please, have mercy. Have mercy.
Bring me to the light.
I don't wanna be limited by time and space.
I want to sleep well after life's ????? fever.
Please, please show me to the one true god.
-Oh, come on! He's stalling! -Show me the one...
Please, sister! Please!
Zoe.
That's right, Clarice. It's me.
Zoe!
Oh, thank you.
Here, here, put this on.
-I'm gonna link to her now. -To where?
Virtual home.
How far up does the water go?
About half a click, and then you hit static.
Not nearly as ellaborate an illusion as New Cap City, but...
I can make it bigger.
Assuming that I stay.
You'll find it's an exact replica of the home you grew up in
With every creature comfort at your fingertips.
But the bigger lure is a real-time clone of my entire computer network.
You and I could operate in tandem, sharing data as we go.
Data for what?
For building you a new body.
Compact, agile, with full sensory input.
And with skin.
Skinjob?
If you will.
It's as good a name as any.
Are you in?
Okay.
My brother has a place you would absolutely love.
We might be able to stay there for a while, on Tauron.
To stay out of sight, you know? You could go fox-hunting.
-It's been 20 minutes, they're not back yet. -They're fine.
He has these two dogs that work as a team, they drive-- Willie!
Willie!
Let's do this easy, yeah?
Where's Frankie?
He's gone.
Come on, Tommy. Let my brother go, right?
-He's got a kid. -Wish I could.
Willie!
Go, go, go!
Come here, Willie. Hey!
It's gonna be all right.
Sam!
Sam! Sam!
-It's his hand. They've hurt his hand. -Willie?
Hey, hey, kid.
It's okay. It's all right. You saved our asses, kid, you did good.
-Yeah, you did it. -It hurts.
-I know, I know. I know it hurts. -Come here.
Come here.
It's okay.
-It's okay. -He's very cold, Yosif.
-Okay. -It's okay, buddy, it's okay.
Wait a minute.
Oh my gods. Oh my gods.
Sam...
We gotta get him to a hospital.
We gotta get Willie help.
-Help me. -Give him to me.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Give him to me.
Let him go.
Let him go, Yosif. Let him go!
-Let him go. -Come on.
Willie! Willie!
Willie!
I'm sorry, Yosif.
