Previously on Caprica...
No, Ben!
A group known as Soldiers of The One
is responsible for the bombing.
We don't really know the people closest to us.
My daughter died in the bombing of train number 23,
but I think she may have caused it.
My daughter was a terrorist!
I'm just trying to find out who I am.
I'm Zoe
and the avatar and the robot.
Like some kind of what-you-call-it three-parter.
Trinity.
That's what you are.
I've been given a mission that will change my life.
I have someone for you to find--
Keon Gatwick.
I need to know I can count on you
to get me to Gemenon.
I made a promise to Zoe before she died.
I need to get something to Gemenon.
I'll see what I can do.
Everything I've built is on the line.
People are so angry,
they are throwing away their Graystone computers.
Sarno's making public opinion,
and everyone in the twelve worlds is watching.
Have Priyah book me on Sarno.
Blood for blood.
It's the Tauron way.
Daniel Graystone lost his daughter, right?
I lost my daughter and my wife.
Balance it out.
Hm - what's going on?
Bomb in a holocafe three hours ago.
Place was closed and empty.
Okay, so not out to kill.
Threat?
Or warning or nuisance
or personal beef with the owner.
Or S.T.O.
What? You don't come back after ten years
just to blow up a train.
No, they want us scared.
Small bomb, middle of the night.
My money's on copycats.
Yeah, well, if you got no S.T.O. worries,
maybe you don't want to hear
about what I picked up at the courthouse.
Don't be coy.
I hate that. What you got?
Inter-colonial court on Libran
handed that down an hour ago--
Last matter of the day, Themis standard time.
A search warrant for a private school?
How'd you get this?
When Amanda Graystone
held up that little infinity pendant
at the memorial service,
she handed us grounds
to search Zoe's property,
which includes the contents of her locker at school
and any other locker she might have used.
So you're gonna call in the press, make a thing of it?
I might.
Keep it tasteful.
Good morning.
Hi.
Good morning.
Am I, uh, too sweaty for you?
- Mm - Mm.
Ah, is that your phone?
Clarice Willow.
Get off me.
Get off me right now.
Clarice, what's going on?
Oh, I'm so sorry, it's my fault entirely.
Global Defense Department!
Listen carefully, everybody!
I need you to step away from the lockers right now!
Everyone, now! Step away!
Clear the hallway.
Let's go! Ladies!
That's it! Move! Move out!
Come on, folks.
That's it!
Toss everything!
That's it! Toss them all!
Keon.
Keon, we need to talk.
I'll walk away. You follow in a few.
Next one. This is clear.
This is a script.
It's a list of talking points.
"I loved my daughter very much..."
- We only have a couple hours. - "but I knew she was troubled.
"there were disturbing signs
"well before I developed the holoband technology."
All it needs are stage directions.
Should I point to my heart? - Daniel, please.
Look, we're not telling you how to say it.
Use your own phrasing - Just what to say.
Well, I don't want to say she was troubled.
- It's important. - Why?
If she had a pre-existing problem,
it takes the onus off the holoband.
Well, then I'll--I'll find a different way of saying it.
She's, uh, not happy I'm going on Sarno.
Exactly how not happy?
Not happy enough to make another announcement?
- No. - If she contradicts you--
She'll be fine.
You should probably play it a little guilty.
You missed the warning signs.
You'll always blame yourself a little bit because of that.
People want contrition.
Just make it clear it's not guilt
for making a dangerous product.
No, it had nothing to do with the holoband.
Well, that's just true.
That was great! Do that!
I'm a star.
Can you say it all from the beginning again?
Yeah?
Why isn't it done?
- Because, so-fis-tace, they're both in the house,
and there's two other people in there.
How big a bloodbath do you want?
Right, no. Gods, uh, no bloodbath.
It's...
You still want to do this, right?
Yes.
Of course.
Then have patience, Yoseef.

This has all been very very upsetting.
And I'm--I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again.
Now, everybody just go home.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Go on.
Are they gone?
Yeah, they went ahead to the studio.
I need to get dressed.
Do you know where the coat to this is?
I have no idea.
That's gonna strobe, anyway.
Yeah, you're right.
I just can't believe you're going out there
to dance on her grave like this.
I'm just saying the exact same thing that you said.
I didn't say she was crazy.
She blew up a train.
Maybe. You know, I don't even know what she did.
Maybe she was just running away. - You think I want to do this?
I don't want to do this,
But I have to, because you opened up this little dialogue
with greater Caprica.
I didn't mean to go on television.
You are deliberately going on television.
Sweetheart, there were cameras all over that park.
I was just talking to the crowd.
We just have to go with it, all right?
Does this-- does this tie work?
Yeah, it's great.
Okay.
Look, can't you just go out there
and say that this is a very sad time for our family
and that we need time to process--
- I wish, but - but that just doesn't play.
The car should be here by now. Serge!
Doesn't play? Doesn't play?
Did you actually hear what you just said?
I don't have time for this right now, sweetheart.
I'm about to go on international television.
We are not company spokespeople.
We're parents! - Parents?
Actually, no, we're not.
Can I help you, Daniel?
No.
Oh, hell.
Oh, hello, beautiful.
How are you doing?
Me? I'm doing great.
Thanks for asking.
Well, so, yeah.
They leave you down here all alone?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's take a closer look.
You know, that is the finest work
that I've ever done, designing that.
Mm-hmm.
You need a name.
I want to-- I want to go through it again.
- Yeah, let's run it. - One more time.
- I still see the bruises. - I'm doing my best.
She was complicated.
Long before I invented the holoband--
"Troubled" is better than "complicated."
"Complicated" is meaningless.
I shouldn't have to say it in one word, anyway.
It's ridiculous. Zoe was...
Zoe's troubles started a long time ago.
How's that? "Zoe's troubles"?
No, it's not the same.
"I loved Zoe."
What?
Yeah, uh, it's a good place for you to start.
"I loved Zoe, and I wish I'd seen the signs,
but it wasn't the holoband."
She was troubled.
Give me a cigarette, Cyrus.
You can't smoke while I'm working.
Oh...
Rebecca, I am so sorry,
I did not mean to offend you.
But the idea of going on live television,
quite frankly, makes me want to vomit.
Is there anything I can do to help change your mind?
No.
I'll give you 1,000 cubits if you let me have a cigarette.
Done.
Thank you.
Where were you? You weren't at school.
They called.
I was with uncle Sam.
It's not a problem, is it?
I guess not.
We won't tell your father.
On Tauron, when you're thirteen, you're a man.
You make your own decisions.
Um, okay. Thank you, Tsattie.
He barely sees you.
He shouldn't be angry when he does.
What do you want to be, William?
I don't know yet.
I haven't really thought about it.
Huh.
No...
Not when you grow up.
What do you want to be now?
Well, there was this job for kids,
where you work inside the locker rooms
with the pyramid players.
Okay, be that.
It's just that dad knows the owner,
Mr. Graystone.
Uh-huh.
I'm not sure if they're still friends.
I'm not sure if he still likes him.
You think you only get things from friends?
You get the best things from enemies...
because they're scared of you.
Sam can look into it, okay?
Your uncle knows how to make things happen.
Yoseef. - Sam.
You're the one who sent me to do this, you know?
You're gonna have to be able to live with it.
Just get it done.
Well, keep your pants on.
I'm going in now.
Wait a minute.
What?
Wait?
Sam.
Sam!
G.D.D.
What?
Global agents.
Okay, my guys, inside.
Just give me a second.
Everybody in?
Press, you got to stay outside!
- You can't do this here. - Warrant.
My--my husband does defense work on these premises.
The girl's room is downstairs. Everybody wears gloves.
Okay, the warrant only applies to the residence.
We're not gonna go anywhere near your husband's lab, okay?
You're gonna do this to her, I want to see this.
I want to see this! - Doctor.. Doctor, please.
Stay calm for a second.
We're not gonna do anything to her.
We're just trying to find out who turned her into a bomber.
These two are already logged.
Please, not her cello.
She's-- she's at least--
Please tell them to be careful with it.
Careful with the cello.
You really have to do this?
Really?
I mean, what do you think you're gonna find here?
I really don't know...
Maybe who she met with...
who brainwashed her into believing
in a moral dictator called God...
Maybe the name of some other kid
who blew up a Caprican business in the middle of the night.
I really don't know.
Do you honestly think that information's here?
Really?
Jordan...
In the jewelry box.
- That wasn't- - I put that there.
That wasn't here.
There are loose ends, doctor,
and I'm sorry if we have to take your daughter's life apart
in order to put other terrorists behind bars,
but if we have to, then so be it.
What is this to you?
Did you lose someone on that train?
I lost everyone on that train.
And, um, I'll see you later.
Keon...
What are you doing here?
Last time I saw you, I had you pinned to the ground.
You said you'd help me get to Gemenon.
Well, I was wrong. I can't.
You shouldn't have scampered off during the locker search.
It made you look guilty.
You should go.
I'm the only one here today,
and I have to have this bucket case
fixed by the end of the afternoon, so...
What are you doing?
My mom does repairs, like, for a living.
Well, what if someone sees us together?
Who's seeing?
Nothing in Zoe Graystone's room.
No, the parents cleaned out the room.
Look at the school.
Yeah, nothing there either--
Minor drug stuff.
You guaranteed me detonators and infinity symbols.
Sir, it is too clean.
Look, somebody got to those kids.
Please, give me the power
to access communications to the students--
E-sheets, phones.
Gee, scout leader Duram,
this slope's getting kind of slippery.
Ben Stark and Zoe Graystone--
I guarantee you they are not the only students
the S.T.O. turned at that school.
Now, we find out who it was who warned those kids,
we find out who it was who's running the operation.
You're wrong about this,
I own yoor-khayss.
Tauron slang,
That's very street of you, sir.
Fine.
I'm wrong, I'll serve them to you on a plate.
There.
Well, that's a nice-looking chest.
I think it looks great.
So let's, uh--
let's check you out, shall we?
See that we didn't glitch any connections.
Running diagnostic test.
Look at you.
Huh? I'm gonna make you dance.
All right? Okay, here, here.
Try this. Try this.
Diagnostic test complete.
Last of the E-sheets for today.
Now, if we had an up-to-date computer...
All right, check around 6:00 A.M.
It's most likely a group-send to the entire student body.
I've never seen you like this.
Yeah?
Well, we had Ben Stark, and we let him go.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm not putting this all on you.
We all got complacent.
We're all responsible.
Really?
So are we all responsible
for the bad wheat crop on Aerilon?
Well, why are you doing it?
You're still here. You're working as hard as I am.
Looks to me like Gemenese scum
are luring good Caprican kids into a killer cult.
Anyone doing that needs to be destroyed.
Yeah.
Oh, I got something for Willie.
They're like jacks,
since you threw out his fancy games.
What are these, bones?
Well, Tauron children play jacks
with the finger bones of the Tauron children
who lose at jacks.
That was a joke.
They're bones from chicken feet.
Male announcer: The interview you thought you'd never see.
Daniel Graystone coming up at 10:00
Back-Talk with Baxter Sarno.
Oh, that's the man you don't like.
Yeah.
Well?
It's gonna be taken care of.
Good.
No, the dead don't really die
until their death is avenged.
My daughter and your daughter
are caught between life and death.
He's gonna pay.
Good.
Believe me.
Hey, guys.
Okay!
Welcome to Back-Talk.
Uh, thank you guys so much for coming out.
We have got a pretty amazing show.
I don't need to tell you why.
So let's, uh--
let's get through this horrible monologue
that I wrote two minutes ago.
Uh, not that things are perfect here on Caprica.
Um, some of you know that, uh, many residents
not too happy with the government right now.
They're saying thirty seconds. Let's go.
They're saying they are soft on terrorism.
- Okay. - So in order to protest--
I see you guys laughing over there.
Okay, here we go.
- Daniel, they're, uh - they're about to introduce you.
Okay! I just-- I need a second!
Oh, my gosh, they broke our back!
They sent us peppermint sticks.
There's nothing we can do.
And finally, some of you may have heard,
uh, yesterday security was called in here,
uh, but there's nothing to worry about now.
It turns out it was a huge misunderstanding.
I was only bombing figuratively.
Figuratively.
Wow! Yes.
Fire half of the writing staff.
Okay, on that grim note,
let's bring out our first guest.
Uh, needs no introduction.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Daniel Graystone.
Ah, there he is.
Cyrus, the global defense just came to the house.
They ransacked the place.
They're doing this wrong.
Daniel--there are things he has to say.
Can we just talk about this later?
- It's too late. He's on. - So, Mr. Graystone,
Thank you for coming on.
Um, I think I-I may have mentioned you
a couple of times this week.
I don't know if you-- - Yes, you did.
Yeah?
My solstice wish was for free publicity.
Probably should have been a little more specific.
I feel so much better
about my monologue right now.
All right, that's - I'm sorry, listen,
um, this is - this is what's going on.
- Is this water? - Um, that, indeed, is water.
Were you expecting - was there something else
in your rider that you needed? - No, I'm fine with water.
Can we get something stronger for, uh, Mr. Graystone?
We're good?
- I'm fine. Thank you. - Okay.
Um...
Your wife, um, has stated that your daughter,
uh, Zoe Graystone,
was involved with terrorists and may have been--
may have been responsible for the bombing...
- We don't know anything for sure, but, yes,
it does seem that she'd fallen in
with this group, the Soldiers of The One.
She was...
She was, uh...
She was troubled, uh... - Okay, let me just--
But this started a long time before I invented the holoband.
- Let me tell you what I see. - Troubled?
Let me just tell you what I see here.
Uh, I see a lot of young people
growing up in a virtual world right now.
Yes, I've--I've actually heard your theory about this.
I've heard it before, and if I may.
Let's not talk theories, then. Let's talk facts.
- All right. - Facts! Your daughter--
Your troubled daughter,
uh, growing up with, uh, holobands
and learning that there are no consequences,
absolutely.
But...
He was right. It's not a good word.
It's not a good word. You know it's not a good word.
But--but you see, the thing is,
She didn't even like the holoband.
- She didn't like the holoband? - Not at all.
- Hated it? - Yes.
Maybe because it was making her want to blow things up?
- You know, and-- and the whole--
No.
Amanda!
Oh, wait. No, no, no, no.
Um, ladies and gentlemen, uh, please welcome,
uh, Dr. Amanda Graystone.
Dr. Amanda Graystone, wow.
Let's get her a chair, please.
Um, people watching at home,
uh, let's, uh, hit "Record,"
and we'll be right back after these messages.
This is going to be very exciting,
So stick around.
Okay, we are back.
Uh, Dr. Graystone, this is a shock and a surprise.
Yes.
It's a surprise for me too,
but, um, I cou-- I couldn't stand there.
I just had to. I-I--
You're both getting this wrong.
I'm getting this wrong. Okay.
I just flashed back to my first and third marriages there.
I mean, um... Okay, I'm sorry.
I don't know why - I don't know why I made a joke.
Um, Dr. Graystone, uh, what is your take on this?
You're out here saying that Zoe was crazy.
Zoe wasn't crazy. She wasn't.
Zoe was-- Zoe was angry.
She was defiant. She was rude.
She was frustrating.
Okay.
Well, show me a 15-year-old girl who isn't.
She slammed her door. She played loud music.
She said that we embarrassed her in public.
Slammed her door and played loud music
and blew up a commuter train.
Well, when was I supposed to call the cops?
Well, I don't know. Maybe when she started worshipping
the big Destruct-O God in the sky maybe.
We didn't know. There weren't any signs.
You said she was troubled.
- She--
She was angry.
It's a better word. My wife's right.
Okay, angry, but I'd also like to add
morally blank,
because the virtual world
is a poor teacher and doesn't teach you boundaries.
You know who would completely agree with that is Zoe,
and that's exactly how the S.T.O. got to her.
The--okay, I'm sorry, you have to slow down
and back up and keep in mind half of this audience is stoned.
Okay. Okay.
She--she saw things in the virtual world--
ritual sacrifices,
games like New Cap City,
and--and she felt the absence of moral guidelines,
just like you do, like-- like a lot of folks do.
And--and into that absence steps the S.T.O.,
offering this--this marvelous ultimate moral arbiter.
It's quite appealing,
for a teenage girl, especially.
You're-- you're assuming all of this.
No. No, I talked to her.
You did?
When?
Uh...
After she died, I...
I created a virtual version of her, an avatar.
You cre-- I'm sorry. You--
You made an electronic ghost of your dead daughter.
I just wanted to hear the sound of her voice again.
I sympathize. I sympathize.
This-- this is very disturbing.
Yes. Yes, it is disturbing,
but--but show me a parent who would not do anything possible
to--to try and understand their child.
- Okay, well... - It was disturbing.
I know that.
Hey.
But I was trying to make sense...
You got a bracelet?
There's a plastic bracelet for backstage visitors.
I used the tools, the gifts that I have to do that,
and I know she wasn't real, but...
- Oo-day-my oo-den-os plastic bracelet,
but I could use that I.D. badge.
I used the tools, the gifts that I have to do that...
- Hay-doo tay say ay-soh-doy.
But it did offer some small insight
into her motivations.
If--if this whole thing was a reaction to the V-World,
then we're just right back
at square one, though, aren't we?
Isn't technology the problem?
I mean, isn't-- isn't the V-World the problem?
- No, that's not the problem. - Maybe.
- I'm sorry. Maybe? - Maybe.
Okay, I'm starting to like you, Mr. Graystone.
We thought we could control the content in V-World,
especially for kids, but we've failed, clearly.
I think the temptation to hack the code is too great.
All right, well, then what is your solution?
- I don't know. - Well, t-think out loud.
I don't know. I...
For there to be any--
any beneficial change, you'd have to--
to take away the profit motive,
like when they legalized drugs, for instance.
Okay, well, that's a good point,
but you're also talking about something
that took decades of--of pretty violent arguing back and forth--
Well, you know, why not? Why couldn't we--
Why couldn't we try it?
But this is a huge leap you're talking about.
No, Graystone industries will no longer charge
for licensing of any legal spaces,
and--and any profit we make off the bands
will go to some charity or--
a foundation that we can create.
We'll create something
for young people to find the right experiences
and the right values.
- Okay, this is-- you're saying this now,
and--and I support it. I think this is very admirable.
Are you gonna say this Monday
to your stockholders and your board of directors?
Great P.R. No, that's great P.R.
- Yes, I can promise this. - That's 60% of our net.
My company will make no more profit
on the holobands or V-World licensing.
Hold me to it, Caprica.
Okay, well, uh, speaking for Caprica,
and you know that I like to,
uh, we will.
Wow.
Uh, thank you, doctors Graystone,
this was a fascinating, uh, discussion
that I was completely unprepared for.
Uh, thank you very much,
and I think we need to credit Amanda
with the most amazing save
since Bracken Oka... - She's on there?
...beat Jenkins at the horn?
She's not supposed to be.
Let's pick an analogy where the Bucs won, okay?
- Okay, I don't let my -
I could kill her with my own hands...
Sleep well every night.
Couldn't you?
I see a lot of panicked faces behind me.
This might take a while. Don't say that.
You should probably go on home.
All right, well, I got a taxi, so...
I can get you a car.
I can get another one. I'll see you at home.
- Okay. - Love you.
- Thanks again. - Yeah.
- Excuse me. - Uh, sorry.
I'm, uh, Baxter's driver.
If you like, I could take you home.
Yeah, perfect. Thank you.
What's your name?
I'm Sam.
Nice to meet you. I'm Amanda.
Nice to meet you.
You saved my life with this one.
So, um, did you have something in your locker?
Did you get a warning?
I can't tell you.
I-I can't. I just can't.
I get why you're being cautious.
That's smart.
But I have to do this.
I have to go to Gemenon and take Zoe's package with me.
I have to.
If there's any way you can help me...
Uh...
I can maybe set up a meeting with Barnabas.
That's all I can do.
He's the one who can decide
if you get the S.T.O.'s help.
Yes. Thank you.
Are those homemade?
I'm sorry, what?
- Your tattoos-- are they homemade?
I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry, but I'm a plastic surgeon.
I'm really interested in that sort of thing.
They're cultural...
Tauron.
Oh, yes, of course.
They have meanings, right?
Yeah.
A lot of people here on Caprica
think they mean that you're a gangster,
but they don't.
Of course not.
Well, I mean, it might, but...
it doesn't have to.
You know, you get ink because you're a parent,
or you got a fancy pedigree,
or there's some sort of ritual, maybe made a mistake.
I could give you a fancy pedigree.
I could...
add a few accomplishments, take away a few mistakes.
Yeah, well, that wouldn't be real, I'm afraid.
Very little is real these days.
This isn't the way home.
Come on, Sam.
"Don't."
Larry, hi. Um, listen, I-I need to get a hold of Sam.
And it's an emergency, and it's--
He won't answer his phone. Please.
Have him call me soon as you hear from him ,okay?
Thanks.
Turn on your frakkin' phone!
Excuse me, this isn't the way home.
Yeah, there was an accident on the thruway.
I'm just gonna cut through little Tauron.
Don't worry. It's good people here...
Not very nosy...
which is a good thing, right?
What with all those people angry about all those deaths.
I lost my sister-in-law and my niece on that train.
My gods, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
Well, you can't turn back time.
Nothing I could do to change that now.
Yeah.
I guess all we can try and do is understand.
Or look for some kind of balance.
Maybe try to even things out.
My sister-in-law's name was Shannon.
My niece was named Tamara.
She was gonna make us all proud.
Sam.
Hey.
Larry hates it when I come home bloody.
Did you do it?
I...
Can't hear you over the water.
Is it done?
Yeah, it's done.
Why you think I'm washing up, huh?
She was getting a little, uh...
A-po-play-ktay in the car.
Didn't want a fight in a closed space,
so I ordered her out of the car,
said we were having engine trouble,
she should go inside this restaurant.
Connie's place, remember?
We used to go there in high school.
- I know Connie's place. - Yeah.
I sent her inside, right?
Jacks. Nice.
And, uh, she notices right away that there's no one inside,
'cause I called ahead just in case.
So I'm standing in the front
with the knives, tsfa-gi-dess.
Yeah. - Frak.
She tries to get out back to the alley, but it's locked.
You killed her in the kitchen?
Well, that stuff they spray at crime scenes--
can't tell the difference between animal blood
and human blood.
You really did it.
No, I'm messin' with you to teach you a lesson
about yanking me around like this.
Wait.
What?
- Hmm? - Are you--
Was that sarcastic?
What do you think?
I can't tell, Sam!
Stop frakkin' around! Did you kill her?
I don't turn off my phone, Yoseef,
and I got other people who call me, you know?
So, yeah...
I got your, like, sixty text messages.
I didn't kill her.
Scared her a bit.
Bet she's getting a lot of that right now.
You're frakkin' with me.
Oh, yeah, I'm frakkin' with you,
'cause I knew you couldn't go through with it.
Frakkin' Caprican in a Tauron body.
Nah.
Hmm?
No, I talked to her.
You did?
When?
Again? Weren't you, uh, watching this earlier?
After she died, I...
I created a virtual version of her,
an avatar.
Yeah, well, I like it.
Seems like every time this family's on TV,
I get so much out of it.
I just wanted to hear the sound of her voice again.
Feeling better?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I guess people are just...
really scared and angry right now.
I don't blame them.
I think from now on,
we--we both need to be a little more careful.
So you made an avatar of Zoe.
It was nothing. You know how it works.
It's just a picture of her, nothing more.
Yeah.
I know how an avatar works,
and so do you.
Why did you do it?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't know it got that bad.
I mean... you could have talked to me.
I know. I just...
I miss her...
You know?
Yeah, I know.
I just miss her.
I miss her too.
I really...
I really do.
Want to watch TV?
Graystones are on Sarno tonight.
I heard they were really good.
I am so sick of them.
They're everywhere.
- Oh, awful. - Rich.
- Disgusting. - Ridiculous people.
Hmm...
