Previously on Battlestar Galactica... 24 ships jumped away. Almost a third of the fleet. They're gonna follow Roslin to Kobol, to their death. (SHOUTING) Cally shot Sharon! There are many copies. You'll see her again. One of those things put two rounds into my father's chest! We have found Kobol and when we retrieve the arrow we will open the tomb of Athena and we will find the road to Earth. What I need to know is exactly how to find the tomb of Athena. I can show you the path. I don't know how long it is or where it goes but I can tell you that you're going to have to move very, very quickly. I want to see all recon material on Kobol immediately in my quarters. Kobol? I'm putting the fleet back together. I'm putting our family back together. The scriptures say some of us will die on Kobol. Like a certain Captain Apollo. (RAIN FALLS HEAVILY) (THUNDER) She could be anywhere. If we only use information contained within the Book of Pythia, which makes sense, given her identification with that gospel, then the tomb of Athena is most likely located somewhere... in the mountains to the west of the City of the Gods. Assume she starts at the most easily recognised thing, the opera house. They'd be setting down somewhere around here in this meadow, then heading west. Are you OK? Yes. I am! (PANTS) We gotta get out of this ravine! We can't get caught in a flash flood. Raptor One went down about here, just outside the ruins of the city. We never passed here. But we visually scouted the mountain approaches. Thanks. Any time. If this is all she's got, how does she think she'll find this tomb? Maybe she's seen it in a vision. (LAUGHS) I'm serious. She says she sees things. Images, prophecies, whatever. The point is, she believes in them. And so do the people with her. I can't imagine crossing that rugged terrain without a map or a guide. OK, you're king of the hill. Queen of the hill, thank you very much. We should take shelter until the storm passes. Sounds good. After that? Then we start the tough part. Let's go. The last rescue team reported no sign of a Cylon ship near Kobol. Set the jump arrival coordinates to the upper atmosphere, just in case. That's risky, and it's certainly not possible with a ship of this size. I'll be going down in a Raptor. What? I'm not gonna leave the fleet undefended. It's too risky to take all of us. We'll send a search party, for frak's sake. "And Zeus warned the leaders of the 12 tribes that any return to Kobol would exact a price in blood." It certainly did for us. No more bloodshed. Enough loss. I'm only gonna take people who are necessary. Don't try to argue with me, Saul. Truth is, I'm the only one that can reach out to Roslin. It's always been between us anyway. We've gone down separately, but we'll come back together. Hopefully on our feet. But even in body bags, we're gonna be coming back together. I'll see if the Astral Queen can pick us up until the weather clears. You're not in charge. Com traffic goes through me. Remember that. How much longer do you wanna wait, Tom? Just keep your eyes on him. 1 1 1 1 Eleven o'clock. 20 degrees elevation. There's a formation of twin rocks up ahead. Yeah, I've got it. I think those are the Gates of Hera. You think? I'm putting together a lot of pieces from sources beyond your scriptures. If I'm right, that's the spot where your god supposedly stood and watched Athena throw herself down on the rocks, out of despair over the exodus of the 13 tribes. Supposedly? I thought the Cylons believed in the gods. Don't get her started. They believe in one true god or something. And we don't worship false idols. You were quick enough to come on this mission, lead us to some tomb only actually mentioned in our false scriptures. We know more about your religion than you do. Athena's tomb, whoever, and whatever she really was, is probably up there. That part is true. Madam President, we won't make it before nightfall. Let's go, see how far we get. This is a depressing place. Part of me is glad Sharon never made it in here. Oh, you decided to brighten up the place a little, did you? Our child will be born here. In this room. You're not listening. Oh, you noticed? No, I've had enough. Do you seriously expect me to listen to you while you sit around naked, prattle on about this mythical baby of ours? Mythical? Yes, mythical. Do you have any notion of how ridiculous you've become? The whole turn of our conversation is shot to pieces! I'm the father of a baby who will be born to me from my fantasy woman who I see solely in my head. My fantasy woman who stopped being my fantasy. You're not my fantasy any more. No, sadly, no. You're nothing more than a common tease. I never said I would bear the child. Oh, wonderful. More double-talk, more mind games. Alright, then, who's it going to be? Who's going to bear our secret love child? It's not Starbuck, is it? Careful, Gaius, you're in dangerous territory now. Then I guess I'm really scared. So what's it gonna be this week? What is it? Don't tell me, I'll guess. Um... The ship's gonna blow up! No, damn, damn. Done that one. Done that one. So it's gotta be someone else. Some... Me! Yes, of course, me! I'm gonna explode! God is gonna make me spontaneously combust in a great big ball of flame, and the whole crew of Galactica can celebrate on ambrosia, get drunk. (LAUGHS) OK, enough. I can't do this any more. You're right. Game's over. You win. I win? What did I win? You don't get it? (LAUGHS) Come on, Gaius. Wake up and smell the psychosis already. I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. OK, look. There is no Cylon chip implanted in your brain. I'm not real. You're not getting secret messages from the Cylons. You're just crazy. Very funny. Hysterical. Do you, um, do you write your own material? You don't believe me, do you? No. (LAUGHS) That's great! I love it. Is it? Good. I've had enough. Can we just stop playing this game? Oh, I'm sorry. But it's the truth. There is no chip. If there is no chip, then who... or what... are you, exactly? I'm you. I'm your subconscious frakking with your mind. OK. Check it out. You helped the Cylons commit genocide against your own people, and your fragile little mind couldn't handle it, so, poof! I appear and start telling you how special you are, how God has chosen you. Yeah, right(!) I don't know what game you're playing any more. But I don't like playing these stupid games, so... now you've had your fun. Why don't you get yourself checked out, hmm? Go to sick bay and get a brain scan. That would settle it, wouldn't it? Go ahead. I dare you. How simple could it be? OK. We're in the north-northwest continent, quadrant C, sector 2... Oh, for frak's sake, let me see if I can make heads or tails of it. I marked the terrain as best I could. but we're not... Topography's for pansies anyways. How you feeling? Diplomatic? I still don't think this is a very good idea, Commander. Last time she wasn't happy with me. She trusts you, values your counsel. She'll listen to you. I doubt it. I'm her assistant. She doesn't put any more stock in - She sees you as president one day. Excuse me? That's what she said to me once. You reminded her of President Adar when he ran for his first office. I don't really know how to respond to that, sir. Don't let it go to your head. Adar was a moron. This is an intra-atmos entry. You guys buckled in? Yeah. Perimeter's clear. No Cylon presence. See? Nothing to worry about. Having good luck already. (THUNDER) (RAIN FALLS HEAVILY) Gives me the creeps, seeing him acting like that with her. He loves her. And, yeah, he knows she's a machine. He doesn't care. He loves her anyway. Frak! How can one of us get that roped in by one of them? You know, we should keep an eye on him too. Helo's a friend of mine, alright? He's one of the good guys. Yeah? Sharon was a friend of yours too. Feel like I'm back on Caprica. No, thanks. I'm happy right here. Really? Yeah, actually. Just being with you and Kara feels like I've come home. It's like I'm back in the fleet. You were never in the fleet. That was the other Sharon. I know. I know that. But I remember all of it. Like getting my wings, my first trip aboard the Galactica. You know, the memory of being in a uniform is so strong, is so potent, it's like, I'm Sharon Valerii and this is my family. That's pretty weird, huh? That's OK. I like weird. Losing that priest really frakked her up. She's lost a lot of people. Friends. Supporters. All she has left is her young prince. We're here. He's here. We know what we have to do. Terrain's rough. Don't know how far until we reach this tomb. Why are you backing out of this? I'm not backing out of anything. Getting blood on your hands is a lot harder than washing it off. Then let the Cylon do it. What if the Cylon were to get a weapon and shoot him herself? There would be a lot of confusion, stress, panic. And the Cylon could find herself getting shot real easy. How would you propose such a thing might happen? This HAS to happen. You know that. Not until we find the tomb. How much further? Farther. What? "Farther" describes actual distance. "Further" is more figurative. You're a dictionary now? I'm sorry I'm smarter than you. That's OK. The baby can have your brains as long as he gets my looks. Yeah? That'd be a real blessing for her. Her? You know it's a girl? Yeah. From what I could tell, the Cylons have a plan for Caprica. They're cleaning up the bodies, bringing in the heavy machinery. I understand. But they haven't killed everyone. There's a resistance movement. Once we find the tomb, I think our first order of business has to be planning a rescue mission to Caprica. I hope you know how grateful I am for what you've done, but right now I can only think about finding that tomb. Thank you. Comfy? Can't talk. Can't move. Then you certainly wouldn't want me to do this. Oh, for... I told you not to move. I'm so terribly sorry, Doctor. It... It won't happen again. Great. Now I have to reset and start from the beginning. Now he's gotta reset and start again. Why are you doing this? Even when you weren't nuts, there was that voice in your head helping you through the rough times. I'm just the latest version of that little voice. I don't believe that for one moment. No? God has a plan for me. God's plan? Mm-hmm. (LAUGHS) OK! Yeah. God has a plan... There is a god and he talks to Gaius Baltar. OK! Oh, shut up, will you?! (MACHINE BEEPS) Hey. Will you stop going crazy in there? I'm not crazy. Once you find this tomb, he'll have you killed. He's not like that. You're the enemy. Nothing changes that. Your twin, your copy or whatever... I know. The other Sharon shot the old man. I heard it about 1,000 times. Do you remember shooting him? It wasn't me. Do you remember? No. I see. Well, what do you think happened to her? I don't know. Probably threw her in the brig or something. She was murdered by one of the crew, and everyone aboard Galactica let it happen. Think I'm lying? Ask Lee. They're not going to let your child be born. You think they'll let you raise a potential enemy in their midst? You wanna get off this planet alive, start looking out for yourself. (FLUTTERING OF WINGS) Psst! Starbuck! Psst. Lie low. Put down your weapon, Captain. Commander. It's good to see you. Madam President. Billy! Billy, you have no idea what it means to me to have you here. It's good to see you too. Oh, my gods. Commander? Commander! (HELO) She's with us, Commander. Why? Commander, no! No! Get off! I want you to die. Commander, please don't. We need her. Commander! You've got to let her go. Die. Sir! Dad? And you ask why? (GASPS AND COUGHS) Nothing, nothing, more nothing. Are you satisfied? Yes. Yes, I am. Thank you very much, Doctor. Just, um... ..we're positive, aren't we, that there's no, um... ..unidentified objects? Well, you can obsess over these as much as you like on your own time. Freakin' hypochondriac. One on every bloody ship. You interfered with a military mission, and broke your word to me. It's the second part that really bothers you, isn't it? Laura, I forgive you. Thank you, pal. I didn't ask for your forgiveness. Well, you have it anyway. I can't believe the old man reacted like that. You know they killed the other Sharon? What? In cold blood. Not even a trial. Hi. Hi. Sharon? Hello, Chief. You know who I am? Yes. We haven't met, but... I remember you. It's good to see you. So where does this leave us? Back to where we started. Under the yoke of President Roslin and Commander Adama. Not if we go back to the ship with a map to Earth. And a sad story of how many people were killed on Kobol by the Cylons. It's over. Let it go. For now. Lt Thrace says that there are survivors on the Colonies. There are people fighting against the Cylons every day. They're fighting for their homes, their future. I see. Does it give you pause? Maybe your impulse the day the Cylons attacked was right. Maybe we should have stayed and fought. Maybe the President should have stayed with her people. I didn't come here for this. I didn't come here to navel-gaze or to catalogue our mistakes. We made a decision to leave the Colonies after the attack. We made the decision. It was right then, it's right now. Every moment of every day since then... is a gift. From the gods. No, from you. For convincing me that I should go. I would be dead. My son would be dead. Whatever else the cost,... I won't second-guess that outcome. I think it's time to go find this... tomb of yours. So Cally kills Sharon... and the old man gives her 30 days in the brig? 30 days for murder. They don't see it as murder, Helo. That's what I'm trying to tell you. That's what you're not hearing. To him, to the President, to all of them, Cylons aren't people. I'm not a person to them. I'm a thing. I won't just stand by and let them kill you like the other Sharon. OK? I believe you, Helo. I do. But if we're gonna have any future together, any at all,... ..I'm gonna have to take matters into my own hands. What are you talking about? Do you love me? Yes. Do you trust me? Yes. Then don't ask me what I have to do. Sharon, what the frak are you talking - Trust me. Trust us. Have you thought about our conversation? I haven't thought about anything else. And? When we arrive, they'll be distracted. I'll take the father, you take the son. You should see this! Lieutenant Thrace, I hope you have that arrow handy. I need you to know something. I'm Sharon, but a different one. I know who I am. I don't have hidden programs waiting to be activated. I make my own choices. I make my own decisions. This is my choice. It's a Stallion. Not military issue. Where the hell'd you get this? It's his. (GROANS) (GROANS) Take it easy. Just wanted... to see you get your due. You never did listen to me. (GROANS) Stupid frakking thing couldn't come with a handbook? No, because that would just be too logical, wouldn't it? "And the Arrow of Apollo will open the Tomb of Athena." Yeah, well, unless anyone sees a keyhole or whatever, then we're either in the wrong place or we're just screwed. OK, why don't we just... Helo, come here. On three. One... Two... Three. (ALL GROAN) There it is. Oh, my gods. (GRUNTS WITH EFFORT) After you. Helo, you stay out. Yes, sir. Chief. Sir? Guard everybody. Sir. (STARBUCK) If the arrow didn't open the tomb, how do we know this is it? We don't. But it's a tomb alright. The scriptures say you need the arrow to find the map. These broken statues, I recognise them. The ram, Aerilon. Gemenon, the twins. These are the icons of the 12 tribes, the 12 colonies. I mean, this is really where it all began. We all came from this place. This could be Picon, the fish. I guess this little lady could be Virgon, right? The goat, Caprica. Sagittaron... The archer. He's missing something. (SPARKS / CLANG) Er... Where the hell are we? I don't know. Tomb of Athena, I think. I thought we were already in the tomb. I think that was the lobby. Again the ancient symbols. These patterns... were on the original flags of the 12 Colonies back in the days when the Colonies were called by their ancient names. Aries... Taurus... Gemini... Cancer... Leo... Libra... Virgo. The jewels match the constellations. This is the map. This is the map to Earth. Maybe. So is Earth in one of these constellations? We're standing on it. We're standing on Earth. The scriptures say that when the 13th tribe landed on Earth, they looked up into the heavens and they saw their 12 brothers. Earth is the place where you can look up in the sky and see the constellations of the 12 Colonies. I don't know what good it's gonna do us, though. What are we supposed to do? Search the entire galaxy for one particular star pattern? There. There, in Scorpio. I've seen that before. It's the Lagoon Nebula. Astro body M8. That's a long way from here. Yeah. But at least now we have a map and a direction. We have struggled since the attacks, trying to rely on one another. Our strength and our only hope as a people is to remain undivided. We haven't always done all we could to ensure that. Many people believe that the scriptures, the letters from the gods, will lead us to salvation. Maybe they will. But "the gods shall lift those who lift each other." And so, to lift all of us, let me present once again the President of the Colonies, Laura Roslin. (APPLAUSE) (LONE HAND-CLAPPING) (PEOPLE SLOWLY JOIN IN) (CLAPPING SPEEDS UP) (CHEERING) (KNOCKING) I'm OK. I'm OK, really. Yeah. It's just, er... It's just I don't want our baby born in this cell. Their child? I told you a child would arrive. Told you it would be born right here in this room. How could you ever doubt me? Boomer is going to bear... our child? An honour which she hardly deserves, but one doesn't question God's will. (SIGHS) Well, you're not a chip. That we've established. Yes. But a pregnancy suggests you are not a manifestation of my subconscious. And I'm not... Crazy? No. Then who... or what... are you, exactly? I'm an angel of God sent here to protect you. To guide you, to love you. To what end? To the end of the human race. IMS Subtitles For a list of the week's captioned shows, see Teletext pp 321-327.
