Caprica s01e12 Episode Script

Previously on Caprica Tomas Vergis has taken my company away from me, and I want it back.
The Guatrau is having me blackmail my own board of directors to get my company back.
So, Terry Albick.
No, I got nothing.
He's sleeping with his sister-in-law.
You'd be surprised what comes out at corporate retreats.
I think we can count on his vote.
Who's next? I tried to help my friend Zoe, but now I'm in way too deep.
I have a small task for you.
A small but important task.
Clarice? Sister Clarice? What about her? I want you to replace the fob on her car keys with this.
You put a bomb in her car.
No You did, actually.
Let's see some terror.
Oh, my God! After Barnabas attempted murder, he left me no choice but to settle all STO business.
Others need to be taught the price of disobedience.
Are you going to kill me? I hope not.
Clarice was such a good friend to me, and now I'm betraying her.
These monotheists, they want nothing more than to have us either convert or destroy us.
It's not the monotheists.
They don't care about It's the terrorists.
I think your friend, Clarice Willow, is one.
Why are you telling me this? Because I need your help! You have intimate access to an STO leader.
You want me to spy on my friend? Is that it? I'm called a death walker because I can't die in V-World.
I've seen this symbol around the city.
It belongs to the other dead walker.
She didn't derez.
She was shot, but she's not derezzing.
Any ideas where she is? I hear you can't die.
But you can bleed.
You can hurt.
Look who showed up.
Death walker! I'm looking for the death walker.
You don't find the death walker.
She finds you.
Whatever this game is, I'm not playing it.
To enter is a challenge.
Rules are rules.
Ave, death walker! You fight or die.
Daddy, help! You ever been shot before? Really hurts, doesn't it? By the way, you found me.
You didn't because you're useless.
You tried to kill us, but you didn't because you're useless.
Worthless! Did you think we wouldn't find you? I don't even know why Clarice wants you here.
It's okay.
I won't let the others hurt you.
Cyrus.
What's going on? What is the board doing here? Chairman has called for an emergency vote.
What emergency? I believe it's a motion to reinstate Daniel Graystone as the CEO.
Hey, Parker.
What the frak is going on? Albick! Look me in the eye, Gods damn it.
Let's be civil and give them the room.
They'll call when they need you.
Shall we? Daniel, you have a phone call.
Yes, put it through.
Daniel.
Yes.
Vote's in.
14-zip.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Why did you bring her here? I don't have to answer to you, Mar-Beth.
Of course not.
The rules of this marriage don't apply to you.
Be careful what you both say.
We don't need the kids talking.
Right.
About the teenaged girl tied up in the attic? Speaking of which.
Are you almost done with Lacy? Almost.
Good.
Well, I'm going back to Amanda at the cabin.
But why? Because it is what God wants.
Zoe? Zoe? You're back.
You're drawing the fire.
Yes, when we first met.
Thanks for saving me and being my friend.
Welcome back.
Wait.
Please, just listen to me.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay? Look, I just I practiced this so many times in my head the last few weeks.
I think you and I are the same.
People say you're the other one who can't be killed.
That's true.
I can't.
Yeah, okay.
So, look, I think that you and I, we could bring So, do you remember that MagLev bombing, the one that killed my mother and I? According to that, you did it.
Oh, that.
Yes, that.
Help! Please help! They're keeping me prisoner! Help! Why are you doing this? Help! Help! I'm gonna miss this place.
Yeah, me, too.
Clarice, can I come home with you? Don't be silly.
Anyway, I don't think my family would like it.
Come on, we can't keep the cabbie waiting.
You're drugging me.
You motherfrakkers.
You're drugging me.
Want a drink? No, thank you, I'm fine.
We just didn't want you to think that the transition's over.
What, you You want to take out Vergis? Has to be done.
According to whom? You and Sam, or You know, the whole point of cooking up the vote was so that I could get back in somewhat legitimately.
And you did, but Vergis is Tauron.
He'll never lie down.
Allowed to live, he'll come back.
He must be returned to the soil.
And then what? And then his brother comes after you, and Sam goes after him.
Daniel, I think you know where this is coming to.
Yeah.
With someone dead.
Look, let me Let me talk to him.
Let me try and reason with him.
He's a man of business.
We speak the same language.
No.
You speak Caprican.
Human beings value life.
That's one of the main things that makes us slightly more evolved than animals.
Understanding the value of life.
Other things have value.
All right.
Well, look, if I don't at least try, then I'm no better than Me? Him.
Hello, Amanda.
This is a welcome surprise.
Hello, Serge.
Is Daniel here? Not at the moment.
Would you like me to ping him? No, that's all right.
Hey, come on.
Come on.
You gotta eat.
You gotta be hungry.
Very hungry.
But the next time I eat, it's because Clarice brings me food herself and tells me what she wants.
I'll tell her.
Okay, wait.
Just let me explain.
Yes, please explain why you deliberately slaughtered hundreds of innocent people, all for your meaningless fictional God.
You took my life and my mother's.
That wasn't me, okay? She died on that train.
It says so right here.
Look, I'm a copy, okay? Just like you.
You're lying.
I'm not a copy.
I have all of my memories, all the feelings I had, and it stands to reason you do, too.
It's hard to explain.
You know, there are a lot of people in New Cap City who had friends and family on that train.
You know that I'm not Original Zoe.
Tell it to them.
But I don't think they care.
My father was on that MagLev train.
This won't bring him back.
It might feel pretty good, though.
Lacy.
Oh.
Poor thing.
It's gonna be okay.
I'm scared.
I need your help, not your fear.
If you're like me, you'll heal soon enough.
So why won't you fight back? You don't know where I've been lately.
I'm tired of fighting.
I'm not.
Maybe you just won't fight because you know you deserve this.
Is that true? Is that what you think? It's you.
I remember you.
Hey, Dad.
Hi, sweetheart.
Can I go snow-ramming with Lacy and the guys this weekend? Sure.
Sounds like fun.
You know, we buy a season pass, so actually it works out being cheaper.
I like the way you're thinking.
You know, that's like I used to draw those.
Did you? Yeah.
Maybe I saw it and it stuck in my head somewhere.
How close is it to done? Oh, don't even ask.
I can tell you all about it tomorrow.
I am exhausted.
Don't stay up too late.
Don't mess with my settings.
Look.
Same legs.
Brain's in the chest, not in the head.
He's got plenty of time for you when he wants to steal an idea.
He's not stealing anything from me.
You know what would infuriate him? Beating him at the thing he's best at.
I don't want to beat him.
Besides, I can design a chassis.
It's not the same as making a robot.
Think of something bigger.
And what would I create? Life's a good start, I think.
Come on! Oh, God, let it be that I got this right.
Whoa.
That's okay.
You don't have to talk yet.
You're brand-new.
God, if I did this right, you're me.
Welcome to the world.
Well, V-World, anyway.
I can talk.
You can talk.
I'm you, right? I have your memories.
I can feel them.
And you can talk.
Right.
But I'm still gonna have to make you take some tests.
Memory tests, like profile stuff, just to see how good you are.
Good idea.
By the way, I don't remember making me, so that could already be a possible problem.
No, that's okay.
You won't remember anything that happened since I last scanned myself.
Don't worry.
You're probably perfect.
A perfect copy.
Right now, yeah.
But what I meant is perfectly alive.
Starting right now, you're a person.
But I can't leave V-World.
A person with restricted movement is still a person.
Come over here.
Let's test you out a little bit.
You're not her.
You're not the same.
You keep walking in her footprints even after her footprints stopped.
You didn't have to.
You and she knew that.
Now are you gonna lie down and pay for her sins? Or are you gonna own yourself? You know, I don't care if you're not the Original Zoe.
For now, you're more alive than she is, and you deserve everything you're getting.
I think you have me confused with someone else.
So, are you ready to talk to me now? You never asked me anything.
Why? I didn't know if I could trust you.
I still don't.
Where do you get off being all moral? You killed my friends.
For all I know, you killed Zoe, too.
You were the one who tried to blow me up.
I didn't want to do that.
Well, that would have sounded very moving at my funeral.
There wouldn't have been a dry eye in the house.
And for the record, I would never have harmed Zoe.
Now, to show you meant me no harm, you need to help me.
Zoe's resurrection program, it was uploaded from her computer after she died.
What happened to it? She's gone, Lacy.
This is not a betrayal.
She would want you to help me.
We were working together.
And if you do tell me, your burden will be lifted.
The avatar lived on.
She was She was inside one of her dad's robots.
Where is it now? Destroyed.
It crashed, and she disappeared.
She's gone, and so is the program.
Wasn't there a backup? Not that I know of.
No, no.
Zoe was very careful.
She wouldn't have been so unprepared.
Think, Lacy.
Wait.
She had a pin.
It was shaped like an infinity symbol.
I don't know.
There was some way she kept stuff in there.
A compartment.
It could have been data.
You sure? If she had a backup, that's where she would have kept it.
Thank you.
So what happens now? Hmm.
That's a good question.
The way my husbands are feeling about you right now, I think it would be very healthy for you to go off-world.
Off-world? There's a program on Gemenon, training for STO recruits.
It'll help you get properly focused on your walk with God.
I can't go to Gemenon.
My mom We'll take care of her.
Now, clean yourself up and Olaf will drive you to the Spaceport.
No! Listen to me carefully, Lacy.
I am trying to save your life.
Do you understand? There's been enough blood.
Go upstairs and clean her up and don't let anybody see her.
Clarice Willow is here to see you.
I wasn't expecting to see you so soon.
I haven't even seen Daniel yet.
Well, I was thinking about you rattling about this place all on your own, and I was worried.
I'm fine.
Really.
I wonder if you'd be able to get all her things back now.
I don't want her things.
I mean, memories are attached to things, don't you think? If you had her All her trinkets and jewelry and You know, little personal things, the things that the GDD confiscated, they might trigger good memories of Zoe.
I mean, I came across something she gave me the other day.
A diary.
She gave you her diary? Yeah, but it was a blank one for me to use.
And she said to me to record all my good deeds in it.
And I said, "Well, that sounds a little bit too much like hubris.
"Shouldn't I record all my bad deeds in it?" And she said, well, she should've gotten me a bigger book.
Yeah, that sounds just like her.
You know, Clarice, maybe that's why we were brought together.
Some kind of destiny.
Some way of keeping Zoe alive.
I think that's why I wanted to come and stay with you so badly.
I just have this feeling that there's more.
Have you unpacked yet? Now, this way.
Everybody, this is Amanda Graystone.
She's gonna be staying with us for a while.
What are you gonna do? You gonna kill me? Have you not been paying attention? Neither one of us can die.
Make her bleed! It's a one-way ticket, but I know you'll be back.
I can't wait.
I remember you from the dark room, Tamara.
I know how scared you are.
We're nothing alike.
We are.
You have great abilities here.
Why get caught up in this, like all of them? You're better than this.
I'm tired Of listening to all of your crap.
That girl I was, that girl you remember, she's gone.
You put me here, so stop talking.
See, I get that.
I get that on a personal level.
That girl is gone.
So what does this girl like and what does this girl hate? They like watching your pain.
They don't care which one of us bleeds.
Look at them.
Is that what you want to be? Entertainment? New Cap City is disgusting.
It's a place for people to come and act out their own worst impulses, to kill, rape, destroy.
It's wrong! Why do you care? I have a purpose.
And I know that now.
I think this is it, or a step on the way.
I don't know.
But I think you're supposed to help me.
I'm glad you agreed to come, Tomas.
I want you to know that I've spoken to the board and they are drawing up a severance agreement as we speak.
Uh-huh.
So I can slink back to the Tauron dirt, where I belong.
Not at all.
Take a look at this contract.
I've given you more than I had to.
A lot more.
You're going to make a big, fat profit on this entire affair.
Think I want your charity? It's not charity.
It is a begrudging gesture of respect.
You played me well.
You caught me napping and took advantage.
I turned the tables.
It's all part of the game.
Let's shake hands and live to fight another day.
Frakking Capricans.
Where are your stones? You know how this has to end? This is business, Tomas, just business.
Nothing more.
Actually, it's a little bit more than that to me.
You made a deal with the Ha'la'tha, with Taurons.
And whatever your fine principles, they will not let me live.
So Why not now? You made me dead.
Finish the job.
I invite you to my home, and you bring a weapon? I'm extending an olive branch.
I'm trying to put an end to the bloodshed.
Whatever they have told you, they are obligated to kill me.
The Guatrau will settle for nothing less.
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 will not make it off-world alive.
I accept that.
"Control your return to the soil.
" Meaning, "Plan your death.
" I am Tauron.
It is important to me to die at the moment and time of my choosing.
I choose here.
Now.
At the hands of my enemy.
Well That That isn't going to happen.
The Ha'la'tha, they're a group of small-minded, vicious thugs.
No more.
With some amount of power.
That is correct.
But you and I, we have resources beyond anyone's wildest imagining.
I propose a pact.
Graystone and Vergis.
We combine efforts.
We protect each other and we devote our resources toward the total destruction of the Ha'la'tha.
We can do it.
At the very least, we can put them on the run, drive them underground.
Return them to the soil.
Yes.
Yes.
Maybe I was wrong.
I overreacted.
We're both powerful men.
Think of what we can accomplish together.
Exactly.
It was my father's.
His father's before him, so on.
Swear an oath on this blade and we will be brothers.
Hello.
Joseph, it's Daniel.
I need your help.
