Uh-huh. She was very active. Evelyn, my ex-husband was a mean drunk. I know the difference between a soccer injury and a trip down the stairs. Did your husband beat your daughter? He was in Houston the night she died. That wasn't my question. He's been dead nine years. And now you work at a Shelter for battered women and children. Where did you get that? The case file. I took this picture. I don't see how you can just forget her, Evelyn. Forget? I think about her every day. This ruined my life. Then it still matters. I can't look back. It's too hard. So you sell your Chestnut Hill house, pack up your old life and-and think you can just walk away? You can't walk away from her, Eveylyn. She's a part of you. There's now hope now. And what if you don't solve it? Where does that leave me? What if I do solve it? My husband doesn't want me talking to you. Todd doesn't want you helping with your best friend's murder investigation? I thought we put this to rest. It's important to me, Melly.
So you came to the party with Jill but left alone? I drank too much. I had to go home and I couldn't find her. You made a big point in your interview that you were sure it wasn't Todd. The detective made a big point of asking about him. He was fixated on the Whitleys, but barely looked at Tim Dorn. This is the cook? He lived in our guest house, and he was with the girls that night. When we left for the party, he told Jill she should come by later if she wanted. When I heard she was missing the next day, Tim was the first person I thought of. All this information and I got one page on the guy the mother and best friend think did it. You gotta listen to the best friend. Teenage girls tell each other everything. Well, Britt wrote two sentences on him, then blew him off. It's hard to tell if he even worked him hard enough. Especially when he had it out for Todd. Dorn's up in Frackville. Locked up? Why do you think he's gonna talk to you? I'm an optimist. Lil, I got a wife at home. You don't have to come. You think it's a dead case. Let me just call her. Five years for forgery. I got a facility for it, gets me into trouble. You ever dabble in more serious crime? Like the violence done to Jill Shelby? No, Ma'am.
I'm strictly a cerebral criminal. Pretty attractive, wasn't she? She was pretty cute, for a girl. You did tell her to come over that night. She came over a lot to get high. She and her little vixen friend Melanie. Well, that little vixen thinks that you killed Jill. Well, if you marry the prime suspect I guess you better point to someone else. Jill's mom also thinks you did it. A woman lives in a certain world. If the shining neighbor boy killed her daughter, that world's a lie. Britt has your alibi down here as going to bed at 10:00. I guess he must have kept his word. Actually, I was with a... friend that night. What friend? Bobby Jordan. This big, luscious college boy down the street. Neither of us was exactly out and proud at the time, so we asked Britt not to document the sleepover. Bobby's gonna confirm that? Well, I imagine he's come to terms by now. Did Jill ever talk to you about Todd? Oh, sure. Those girls told me everything. Like what? Teenage drama. They even told me things they didn't tell each other. Like all the while Jill was fretting that Todd doesn't treat her right, Melanie was doing him on the side.
You can't be here. Gate was open. My partner, Chris Lassing. How you doing? Todd is furious at you. Uh-oh. Thanks to you his brother came here last night, drunk, after six years of being sober. Eric did? Look, I've told you about Tim Dorn. Why do you have to keep bothering us? Dorn's alibi checked out. We know about you and Todd stepping out on Jill back then. I... I don't have to talk to you. We have to arrest you? You don't want that, Lady. You should see our holding cell. Your headband will get all dirty. Why does this matter? 'Cause when you tell us one lie, Melanie, even if it's small, that makes us think you're hiding other things. Like whatever Todd did to Jill that night. It wasn't Todd, okay? I know... because I was with him that night. That is some top. It's new. You look like, uh... What? A patriotic street walker. It was in Seventeen. Why do you have to be a jerk?
Why don't you go and comfort her? You know, you could use some time in charm school. Could I? I could give you a tutorial... upstairs. What about Jill? What about her? I'm obviously not proud of it. It sounds like Eric had pretty strong feelings for Jill. So? So, why'd he fall off the wagon just 'cause Jill's name came up? Two million people in this city, I gotta run into you? You think I'm thrilled seeing you? All right, look, I'm sorry if I was obnoxious in your office. More than obnoxious. It's just the way that you were looking out for Eric. It was... I hear he's drinking again. Don't talk about Eric. Todd, I know that you were with Melanie that night. Excuse me? Which doesn't add up with you saying you were with Eric. So I figure that you just said that to protect him. Okay, let's say I was with Melanie that night. You can understand why I wouldn't want the entire world knowing that, right? Right. So why not just say that you were sleeping? Why give Eric an alibi? You should drop this.
Eric did it. That's why you can sleep at night and have a normal life, and he's a mess. You should just watch it. When did the hard drinking start? After he killed her? I can make your life very difficult. Eric kills Jill... you clean up after him. Brother's keeper ever since. Am I close? Tell me something, Lilly. What is the point of all of this after so many years? People shouldn't be forgotten. Even if they are my kind of people. Maybe they don't have a lot of money, they don't have lawyers... but they matter. They should get justice, too. I see. You're a crusader. I guess I am. Good luck. So, is sleep like an optional thing for you? I'm not tired. Guess who weighed in on your case today? Mmm... the commissioner. The commissioner? Apparently he and the Whitley's father were college pals. Todd called Bradley to tattle on me? What a baby. And now Bradley's wondering when you're going back on the line. He couldn't pick me out of a line up. Suddenly he's tracking my career?
Screw him. Don't say that too loud in this building. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rush... your boyfriend's downstairs. I'm single. You sure it's not your boyfriend? One of the Whitleys... booked for DUI. You crash that nice car of yours, Eric? Thanks to you. I had something to do with it? All I did was bring up Jill. Why's that send you on a bender? My brother called our lawyer, who called the commissioner, who's a very close family friend. I heard all about it. Then why don't you take a hint and back off? 'Cause something tells me you and I are one scotch away from a good conversation. Hey, Lil. Hey. Hey. Las is in with Evelyn Shelby. Huh. I kept my own box on Jill. It's been packed away for years, but I thought maybe it could help. Good. Melanie told me about her and Todd in high school, behind Jill's back. Well, she was only 15. Mrs. Shelby, it looks like we're closing in on Eric Whitley. The younger one? Yeah, well, he doesn't have an alibi for that night.
And, uh, he was pretty sick in love with your daughter. I was looking at her yearbook, and I remembered this boy. Ann Winters' son. A few years after Jill died he said something to Ann about the Whitleys getting away with murder. Why isn't this in the file? Well, it should be. John told it to the police. What's the kid name? Charlie Winters. If Britt talked to him I'd have a record of it. He was meticulous. Well, are you sure your husband mentioned it to Britt? He told me he did. Could he have lied, Evelyn? Well, I don't know. I mean, I hounded him about it. He said it came to nothing. That I should stop brining it up. Stop pointing fingers at the Whitleys. They were a powerful family. I guess we both know what it's like to have a husband fail you. We'll find Charile Winters, Evelyn. We'll talk to him, and we'll let you know what he says. Thanks for coming out. I can't really leave the retreat. Sure. It's about Jill Shelby. So, now you wanna hear? Yeah, you told the cops you didn't see anything. Yeah, at first.
But then I came to the Shelbys with some good information, and I got the brush-off. You come stoned in your VW van? So? Charlie, Evelyn Shelby's the one who told us about you. Screw Evelyn Shelby, okay? I tried to help her years ago. She wouldn't hear it. You're right, Charlie, but she's not afraid now, and we wanna hear. Okay. I was, um... Kind of passed out on a lounge chair. How could this happen? Just shut up. Why'd you have to wear this? What? It's ruined. That's what you were thinking about? That stupid jacket? Just leave things to me. So, they... got in their car and left, and, man, I just got the hell out of there. Why'd Eric care so much about the jacket? There was this... one year that Eric did wrestling, and... Todd couldn't wrestle to save his life. I think it was the only thing that... he could do better than Todd. Hi. How was it? Good. I need a couple of minutes. I...
I have to tell you something that's gonna be hard to hear. Todd was seen with the murder weapon that night. But I was with him. You were asleep after drinking all night. He could've got out of bed later. This is the father of my children. He was involved with a murder, Melanie, that's someone that you don't know very well. Well, maybe he was just covering up for Eric. Even if that's all he did, that's accessory to murder. I wanna tell you something... but if I do, I can't go home. I can help you with that. They're talking every night. They're arguing. Todd keeps telling Eric to stay away from Tabby's. What's that? They have an aunt, Tabitha. She has a house in Chestnut Hill. It was... it was close to where we all used to live. Pack a bag for you and the kids. You're coming with me. Hey. Where's my wife? Safe. Hey, bitch, you tell me where she is. Is this how you handle women you can't control? This supposed to scare me? It's supposed to make you think. I'm not like the girls you're used to, Todd. You can't try to charm me, then when that doesn't work, talk down to me, then when that doesn't work, get aggressive. I'm not Jill or Melanie.
I'm the police, and we're at the police headquarters, you moron. You gonna talk to me like that? What are you gonna do? Kill me in the parking lot of Central? You think you'll get away with it again? I know about Tabby's. I'll have a warrant tomorrow, and guys are sitting on it right now. Whatever you hid there, we're about to find it. So it's over. Okay. I can't protect him anymore. I did as much as I could. Why don't you come in, give me a statement? Okay. Flipped on his brother. Do you believe him? I don't know. I gotta find Eric. No meeting tonight, huh? Screw the meetings. Scotch and soda. Look, I can't talk to you. My brother chewed me out the day you came by. Really? 'Cause he's been talking to me a lot. Yeah, well, I guess he puts himself in a different category. He told me about you and Jill, and... that you were in love with her. She was his girlfriend. Oh, she'd hang around with you when, uh... no one was around, but drop you the second Todd showed up. Look, I already told you that she was like that.
And that he found you two together that night. Look, I said I couldn't talk to you. What happened to your letter jacket, Eric? I don't know. Another. I don't think there's time for another. I have to arrest you. He told me you did it, and that you came to him for help afterwards, and you two buried the racket at your aunt's house. Why would I kill her? Because she humiliated you. She accused you of watching them. Oh, my God. So what, he's pinning it on me now? It's his story against yours. And you're the problem drunk who never got his life together, so if you have anything to give me, you should do it now. Look, he ruined my jacket. He got his blood all over it. Hers, too. You didn't throw it out, did you? And Jill didn't humiliate me. He did. Hi, gorgeous. Where were you? Well, you can't really ask me that. That's my jacket. So you finally got a taste of her, huh? Now you have something real to jerk off to. Todd. Huh, have you seen him in the window watching us have sex? That's crazy.
Up in the tree with his hand down his pants. Stop. Please. Well, you're the one who just screwed him. I didn't screw him. Give me some credit. I saw you all pressed up to him. Only 'cause you were off with Melanie. Just stop talking. Asshole. Bitch. Don't. Shut up! You're so pathetic. And you're such a prick. You shut your mouth. Screw you. Hey, slut... I said shut your mouth. # Creedence Clearwater Revival ÀÇ "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" # # Someone told me long ago # # There's a calm before the storm # # I know # # It's been coming for some time # # When it's over, so they say # # It'll rain a sunny day # # I know # # Shining down like water # # I wanna know # # Have you ever seen the rain?

The walls between the worlds have been torn asunder. I order them now sealed. Banish the Old Ones and seal the breach. Stop! You take the magician. Your mace seems to be giving him fits.

Where I come from, it's the closest thing we have to a prayer. Is it over? No. Only a beginning. It will rest, then attack again. We must complete the original spell. You don't have the strength. Nor do I have a choice. What is going on here? What was that thing? There's no time. Make time... Or are you scared Because there's no water in here? We're not gonna fight again, are we? No, we aren't. I'll show you what you wish to know. Pretty. Where is that? It's Atlantis thousands of years Before it sank beneath the waves. In those days, Atlantis was ruled by sorcerer kings. And fortunately so, for Atlantis, Along with most of the ancient world, Found itself under attack by extradimensional beings called "the Old Ones." [roar] The Old Ones nearly destroyed humanity As they prepared the way For the most powerful of their number-- Great Itchtultu .
But king Poseidon gambled that they could be stopped. He gathered nearly all of the ambient mystical energy on earth, Then forged it into a single weapon. The power of the trident Served to banish the Old Ones from our realm. But the price was high. Poseidon knew that the same mystic energy He used to defeat the Old Ones Also powered the spells that prevented Atlantis From sinking beneath the ocean. He saved the world, But doomed Atlantis to rest forever At the bottom of the sea. Now the Old Ones seek to return to our world. Already, fissures have appeared, Allowing creatures from their world To gain entrance into ours. When you interrupted, We were helping Fate cast a spell to bar their way. And now we must complete the ceremony. I won't let you torture Grundy again. It's not exactly torture, Diana. More like... Sacrifice. How do you know so much about this? My people once worshipped Itchtultu . On Thanagar? The Old Ones are an evil not bound By your understanding of geography. In return for his favors,
My ancestors made offerings to him. I can't believe anyone would cooperate With that... thing. It was thousands of years ago. We were still a primitive culture. With your knowledge, Perhaps you can help with the ceremony. Forget the ceremony. We're not sacrificing Grundy or anybody else. Grundy volunteered. I'm not sure he's competent to volunteer. Does he even understand what you're asking of him? Grundy understands. Grundy helps magician, then magician will help Grundy. I agree with Superman. There has to be another way. There is. We go to Itchtultu 's world and kick his slimy-- Bird nose is right. Fight, not hide. No. We should stick to our original plan. This may be better. It's more likely to work than simply recasting a broken spell. It's a fool's errand. I joined with you to protect Atlantis. And the rest of the world be hanged? We need your power. So do my people.
My place is with them. Aquaman-- I have spoken. Very well. A spell to return you to your home. Inza, I must ask you-- To remain here as your anchor So you can find your way back. Prepare yourselves.

Superman: I still don't see How your people could have fallen Under the sway of a creature like Itchtultu . Hawkgirl: Thanagar was a harsh world in those days. Itchtultu gave us agriculture, Mathematics, philosophy. The foundations of our entire culture. But something changed? You stopped believing in him. Yes. Modern thanagarians bow down To no higher power. I sense that we are very near our goal. [scream] [screaming] Grundy hates stupid screaming man. Grundy knows how he can crush Lots of screaming men.

The breach between this dimension and our own. My spell weakens. It is only a matter of time Until it fails altogether. Then we stop them here. Not all of us. You and Wonder Woman halt their advance. The rest of us will take the battle to Itchtultu . Stay on the path. Magician, why we stop?
He's here. I feel him. Where? I'm not sure. Everywhere. Be on your guard. Itchtultu: Speak not until spoken to, dust mote. Ok, that was just rude. Wind mote, who are you? Shayera Hol. Hawkgirl.

Are you alive? Yes. Prove it. It has begun. - Make a hole! As I was saying, form follows function. Nowhere is this axiom of design more readily apparent... than on board the world-famous Battlestar Galactica. This ship, the last of her kind still in service... was constructed over 50 years ago during the early days of the Cylon War. Originally there were 1 2 Battlestars, each representing one of Kobol's 1 2 colonies. Galactica represented Caprica and was first commanded by Commander Nash-- "The Cylon war is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why--" - Commander Adama, if I may? - Captain. I just wanted to say what a pleasure it's been serving with you in your command. Captain Kelly, it's been my honour. Good luck in your next assignment. Thank you, sir. - "The Cylon war is long over, yet--" - Good morning, sir. Good morning, Starbuck. What do you hear? Nothing but the rain. - Grab your gun and bring in the cat. - Boom, boom, boom. Attention. Honour guard detail... report to star board hangar bay for ceremonial brief in grand rehearsal. Let's go, guys. Chief's gonna have our ass. Yeah, well, you're the one that was supposed to wrap that yesterday.
Shh. It's the old man. Too late. What's up? Nothing, sir.Just another leak in that "frakkin"' window. Pardon me, sir. It's supposed to be a Battlestar, not a museum. Sorry for saying so, sir. Couldn't agree with you more. Be careful out there, all right? "The Cylon War is long over, yet we cannot forget the reasons why--" - Morning, sir. - Good morning. - Com traffic from the Midwatch. - Hmm. Anything interesting? Mostly housekeeping. Uh, there was one odd message we were copied on. The one from Fleet Headquarters there, sir. Courier officers overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all F.T.L.-capable ships... just in case they need somebody to jump out there today-- see if his ship has any mechanical problems. I think we're a little bit busy today. Wouldn't you say so, Lieutenant? - Yes, sir. - I'm glad we agree. And may I take this opportunity to say that it's been both a pleasure... and an honour to serve under you these past three years. It's my honour, Lieutenant Gaeta. "The Cylon War is long over--" Colonel? You'll see things here that look odd or even antiquated--
Hello. Antiquated to modern eyes. Phones with cords, awkward manual valves... computers that barely deserve the name. It was all designed to operate against an enemy... who could infiltrate and disrupt even the most basic computer systems. Galactica is a reminder of a time when we were so frightened by our enemies... that we literally looked backward for protection. Attention all hands-- Morning. Attention on deck! - Chief. At ease. - Sir. This way. A Mark Two. Haven't seen one of these in about 20 years. If the commander will take a closer look... at the tail numbering. Nebula 7242 Constellation. Oh, my God. Where did you find her? Rusting out in a salvage yard on Sagittarian. We had hoped the commander would allow her to participate in the decommissioning ceremony. - She'll fly? - Oh, yes, sir. - Ah. - We've restored the engines... patched the guidance system, replaced much of the flight control-- - You guys are amazing. - She's fuelled, armed... - ready for launch, sir. - Commander. - What? More?
- Mm-hmm. Somebody's bucking for a promotion around here. I believe that would be Prosna, sir. He found this in the fleet archives. He was doing some research for the museum. Thank you. Thank you all. It's an honour. You're welcome, sir. Fall out. All right. You heard the man. Let's get number three up. Attention. Prior to 2300 hours. Uh-oh. - Here we go. - If you're gonna play with the big dogs-- - No fear. - l'm in. Bet's to you, X. O. - l'm in. - I'm not scared of you. Oh, Helo. When are you gonna learn? First you're flying with rooks, and then-- - Hey! - Ow! And then you're betting against Starbuck. "Starbuck. " Now there's a callsign.
Starbuck. Starbuck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck. Where'd you get that nickname, anyway? Was that before you were thrown in the brink as a cadet for drunk and disorderly or after? - After. - After. That's right. It was after. I'm in. Bet's to you, X.O. - l'm in. - Stay. How's the wife? Too early for that kind of money. Hey, did you hear about that Pyramid game on Geminon? What were you doing on Geminon? - This girl there I know. - What girl don't you know? The wife is just fine. - Talk to her lately? - Bet's to you, Lieutenant. All right. - Thirty to me. And it looks like I'm gonna bring this lovely little game to a close... because... full colours! Ha-ha! Ah-whoo! - Ow! Ow! - Stop! - Okay, I'm fine.
I'm fine. - Hey, hey, hey. - Okay. - Hey. You have finally gone too far... and now you're done. Lieutenant, consider yourself under arrest, pending charges. Report to the brig. - Gentlemen. Are you really gonna press charges against Kara? For striking a superior officer? You're damned right I am. Heard you started the day off pretty early. I wasn't on duty. Now, where did you get this? Tyrol's deck gang scrounged it up. - I couldn't talk you out of it, could I? - Not a chance. She is insubordinate, undisciplined. Probably one of the finest fighter pilots I've ever seen in my life. - Yeah. - She's better than I am. - Twice as good as you. - Like hell. Jesus. Listen, I'm not gonna defend what she did. That's because of the cracks about your marital problems. But you did kick over the table first. I did not. Unless I did. You did.
So what do you say we just drop the formal charges... throw her in the brig, cool her heels off until we get home? You always did have a soft spot for her. Yeah, I guess I'm just a crazy old man. I'm afraid the tests are positive. The mass is malignant. - It's advanced well beyond the-- So I also sent the president a copy of your speech for Galactica's retirement. Hopefully, he'll have a chance to review it... but there is a 30-minute time delay between the Galactica and-- - Excuse me. - Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain. Welcome aboard. We are en route to Galactica... and our estimated flight time is approximately five and a half hours. Please sit back and relax and enjoy your flight. I'll take two! All right. - How small they are. - I know. - But they grow up so fast. - May I? Sure. There. - So light. - So fragile. Shh, shh, shh, shh. There, there. It's okay. You're not gonna have to cry much longer. We really should be going. - Of course. It's amazing how the neck can support that much weight.
Chantara. Honey. Let's go. I gotta show you something. - Okay. - Yeah. Come on. Give me a moment. Just a second. I'll go with you. My God! He's not breathing! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! He's not breathing! My baby! For those of you just joining us from the Pyramid game on Geminon... welcome to The Spotlight... our weekly interview programme devoted to people making news on Caprica. Today we're talking with Dr Gaius Baltar... winner of three Magnate Awards over the course of his career. A media cult figure and a personal friend of President Adar's... he is currently working as a top consultant for the Ministry of Defence... on computer issues. But he's perhaps best known for his controversial views... on advancing computer technology. Dr Baltar, again, welcome. Thank you, Kellan. Firstly, may I say how lovely you're looking... and secondly, what an absolute pleasure it is to be on the show. Well, we're delighted to have you with us. Could you summarise your views for our audience? Yes, I'd be happy to. My position is very simple. The ban on research and development into artificial intelligence... is, as we all know, a holdover from the Cylon Wars. Quite frankly, I find this to be an outmoded concept. It serves no useful purpose except to impede our efforts--
Miss me? Can't you tell? Your body misses me, but what about your heart, your soul? Yeah, those too. - Do you love me, Gaius? - What? - Do you love me? - Are you serious? You had me worried there for a minute. - I'm hot, Gaius. I'm so hot! Viper 450, this is Galactica. Approach port landing bay. Hands-on, speed 105. Checkers red. Call the ball. Galactica, this is Viper 450. Check that. Did you say hands-on approach? Viper 450, that's affirmative. Hands-on approach. Copy that, Galactica. Port landing bay, hands-on approach. Speed 105. I have the ball. Skids down. Mag-lock secure. On behalf of Galactica, I'd like to welcome you aboard, Apollo. It's an honour to have you with us. Morning, sir.
Chief Tyrol. I'll be your crew chief while you're aboard. Morning, Chief. Captain Lee Adama. It's a real pleasure to... meet you, sir. I'm sure you've heard this before. I'm a great admirer of your father's. The service is gonna miss him when he retires. Well, I'm sure someone will. Is your auto-landing system down? I was hands-on for the whole approach. It's all hands-on here, Captain. There are no auto-landings on the Galactica. Commander Adama's orders. Is that right? Attention in the port hangarbay. Raptor touching down. Clear. Projector is ready. Nice flying, Lieutenant. I think they heard that clear up to the bridge. Yeah. I'm gonna catch hell from the L.S.O., but it wasn't entirely my fault. - Primary gimbal's acting up again. - Oh, it's the gimbal's fault again? - Helo, am I lying? - Gimbal looked bad to me. I've pulled that gimbal three times and stripped it twice. - The gimbal's not the problem, sir.
- You're not listening to me, Chief. I listen very closely to what each and every one of my pilots has to say. You're not the one out there trying to bring in 50 tons of Raptor... onto a moving hangar deck with a bad gimbal. - I've got 1 0 years experience... - Here we go. breaking down and stripping every component and every system-- That's ever been installed in every spacecraft on my hangar deck. - The gimbal is broken. - Shut up, sir. - Morning. - Morning, sir! All right. Today is the main event. We have a formation demonstration, fly-by manoeuvres... in conjunction with the decommissioning ceremony. I've got a few changes to the flight plan. Lieutenant Thrace is being replaced in the slot by Lieutenant Anders. Also, we have Captain Lee Adama joining us... and he's gonna be flying lead during the fly-by, so please welcome Captain. - Good to have you. - Welcome, Apollo. - Welcome aboard, Captain. - Great. - Welcome. Thanks to Chief Tyrol and his deck gang, Captain... you're gonna have the honour of flying the actual Viper... that your father flew almost 40 years ago. Great. That's, um-- That's quite an honour. Yes, it is, Captain. And personally I can't think of a better way to send this ship into retirement. It may interest you to know that the final results for the C.N.P. project are: Working close to 95% efficiency throughout the fleet. - Hold your applause, please.
- No applause for me? I doubt you would've ever completed the project without me. - Yes, well, you helped a bit. - I rewrote half your algorithms. All right, you were extremely helpful. But let's not forget you got something out of it. All that poking around inside the Defence main frame. Should give you a huge advantage bidding for the contract next year. - You know that's not really why I did it. - No, you did it 'cause you love me. That, and God wanted me to help you. Right. He spoke to you, did he? You had a chat? He didn't speak to me in a literal voice. And you don't have to mock my faith. Sorry. I'm just not very religious. Does it bother you that I am? It puzzles me that an intelligent, attractive woman such as yourself... should be taken in by all that mysticism and superstition. But I'm willing to overlook it on account of your other attributes. I have to go. I'm meeting someone. Really? Who is he? I'm insanely jealous. I doubt that. So touchy today. Well, as a matter of fact, I'm meeting someone too. Business.
A new project at Defence I might do. So, uh... you'll call me later, right? It's about time. I wondered when you'd get here. - Secretary Roslin. - Yes. - Mr "Kickay. " - Keikeya. - Oh, sorry. Hi. - Hi. My name's Aaron Doral. I'm from Public Relations. - I'd like to welcome you aboard Galactica. - Thank you. If you'll follow me, I'll show you to your quarters. Attention all hands. At this time, Galactica would like to welcome aboard... the secretary of education, Laura Roslin. The secretary is a member of the president's cabinet. We're honoured by her presence aboard our ship... and her participation this afternoon in Galactica's decommissioning ceremony. Madam Secretary? Madam Secretary? Yes, that's exactly what I would think. Attention all hands. E.V.A. activity on hull. Do not radiate any electrical equipment while E.V.A. is in progress. Thank you. In or out. - Excuse me? - Get in or get out.
- Shut the hatch. - Sorry. Where are you trying to be? Uh, visitor's quarters. I'm a visitor. Yeah. Never would've guessed. It tells people things like where the restroom is. It's an integrated computer network, and I will not have it aboard this ship. I heard you're one of those people. You're actually afraid of computers. No. There are many computers on this ship, but they're not networked. A computerised network would simply make it faster and easier for the teachers to be able to teach-- Let me explain something to you. Many good men and women lost their lives aboard this ship... because someone wanted a faster computer to make life easier. I'm sorry that I'm inconveniencing you or the teachers... but I will not allow a network computerised system... to be placed on this ship while I'm in command. - Is that clear? - Yes, sir. Thank you. Excuse me. This seems familiar. Captain Adama, sir. Sorry I wasn't there to greet you with the rest of the squadron. Did they kiss your ass to your satisfaction? So, what's the charge this time? Striking a superior asshole. Ah. I bet you've been waiting all day to say that one. - Most of the afternoon, yeah.
- Right. So, how long's it been? - Two years. - Two years. We must be getting old. Seems like the funeral was just a couple months ago. Yeah. Your old man's doin' fine. We don't talk about it much. Maybe two or three times a year. He still struggles with it, though. - I haven't seen him. - Why not? - Kara, don't even start. - How long are you gonna do this? - I'm not doing anything. - He lost his son, Lee. And who's responsible for that? Same old Lee. You haven't changed either. Zak was my brother. What was he to me? Nothin'? That's not what I meant. And you know what-- You know what? You should go. I'm gettin' the urge to hit another superior asshole. Gaius. Gaius!
- What are you doing here? - Who the hell are you? Get out. Gaius, who is this woman? Uh, she's a friend. Well, more than a friend. When I say friend-- Get out. This is just great. Bye. Look, it's, uh-- It's me, all right? lt-lt-lt's totally me. I screwed up. I am screwed up. I always have been. It's a, uh- - It's a flaw in my character that I have. - I've always hated it and I've tried-- - Spare me your feigned... self-awareness and remorse. I came here because I have something to tell you. Oh, here he is. If you'd just like to-- A little space. Captain, thank you for joining us. Hi. Aaron Doral. If you'd just like to stand up there, we'll get a few shots of you... and the commander. Thanks. Hello, Captain. Great.
Okay, gentlemen, could you maybe stand a bit closer? Fantastic. Um, Commander... could you put your arm around your son? Great. Perfect. Okay. Thank you very much. Um, see you at the ceremony. We'll just be leaving this-- through this door way and to our right. Attention, honour guard detail, report to starboard hangarbay. You want some, uh, coffee? No, sir. Thank you, sir. Why don't you sit down? Congratulations on making captain. Sorry I wasn't there. Thank you, sir. - How's your mother? - Getting married. Good for her. We spoke about a year ago. Had a real heart-to-heart. It was good. I'm glad to hear that, sir. Will that be all? - Why don't you talk to me, Lee? - What do you want to talk about? - Anything. You've been here for an hour. - Well, I don't have anything to say.
My orders said report here and participate in the ceremony. So I'm-I'm here, and I'm gonna participate in the ceremony. There wasn't anything in my orders about having any heart-to-heart chats with the old man. Accidents happen in the service. Dad, listen, I-- - You know all the things that you talked to me about at the funeral-- - I really don't want to do this! - They still ring in my ears after two years. - Good! Good. 'Cause-- 'Cause you know what? They were meant to. Zak had a choice. You both did. "A man isn't a man until he wears the wings of a Viper pilot." Doesn't that sound at all familiar to you? That's not fair, son. No, it's not fair. Because one of us wasn't cut out to wear the uniform. - He earned his wings, just like we all did. - One of us wasn't cut out to be a pilot. One of us wouldn't have made it into flight school... if his old man, his daddy, hadn't pulled the strings! That's an exaggeration. I did nothing for him that I wouldn't have done for anyone else. You're not even listening to me. Wh-Why can't you get this through your head? Zak did not belong in that plane! He shouldn't have been there. He-He was only doing it for you. Face it. You killed him.
That'll be all, Captain. So now you're telling me, um-- Now you're telling me you're a machine. - I'm a woman. - You're a machine. You're a synthetic woman. A robot. - I've said it three times now. - Well, forgive me. I'm having the tiniest little bit of trouble believing that. Come on. Admit it. You were scared of the darkness. - What's there to be scared of? It's just that we could have met with an accident It's so dark and you.. - Don't change the topic. Chicken There's nothing to be scared of, I say. What could there be on a road? A ghost Ghost! What happened? What happened to the car? Strange. I speak about a ghost and the car grinds to a halt Enough, Karan. It had to stall in a jungle! - What could have happened? We didn't ram into a ghost when we switched off the headlight, did we?
Don't you ever get scared? Thanks. It's cold out here Is it the ignition? Karan.. what's the problem? Say something If this is one of your stupid jokes.. ..I am not going to forgive you. Very cold. Karan. Come on. Skip these jokes, Karan Stop joking, Karan Karan, I am very tired of this. If this is a joke, Karan.. What are you doing, Anjali? Karan. What? What? What are you doing in this forest? I heard you screaming. - Me? I heard your scream and came running What's the matter, Anjali? What are you doing in the forest? I didn't scream. You were the one who screamed You weren't near the car That's right, Anjali. I went to fetch some water
I came here when I heard your voice This torch was lying there, Karan. And you.. you weren't there And here, I saw your hand in there Karan I'm right here I am here. Karan, let's get from here. Just let's go! Karan, let's.. - Tell me what happened? Let's go from here, Karan. Karan, let's go from here. Anjali. - Let's go, Karan. Tell me what is the matter, Anjali? What did you see? Why are you so scared? - Let's go, Karan Please tell me now, Anjali. Let's go! Let's go. Sure, one moment Karan. Let's go, Karan. Karan, come on. One minute. The car won't start yet Come on. Let's go. What's gotten into you, Anjali?
Anjali, come to me.. I'm here with you You mean, Karan was dead? Correct. No wonder you couldn't see his face even in the mirror And who was driving the car? - Obviously, it was Karan's spirit This is terribly scary story. - Oh yes When we stopped at a petrol pump after we had left the garage.. we got to know that the garage was lying closed for three years How about the old man? He had died two years ago My God! That's a very scary story. I don't want to listen to it Listen to the third twist.. - No thank you. I'm leaving I don't want to listen to this spooky story Don't be scared, Neha. At least hear it out At least listen to me. - Sit down, I'll tell you a story Not a horror tale, a love story I'm going to the car. - Sit down A story of flowers, the Spring.. - Come to the car with me Romi All right, let's go
No, I'm not coming! That sour-face in the car will drive me nuts Go on your own All alone. - Bye, Neha. What was the third twist in your story, Shruti? The third twist is that Rohit and I never went to Goa at all I'm very sleepy, I'm leaving. - No.. sit down! Don't go please. Neha mustn't have got to the car yet. I'm going to her Listen to my story. - I'll go and fetch a blanket.. and I'll sleep here then. - Listen to my story.. and I'll go with you and get the blanket Promise? - Promise. - Good. This story is very scary too You must have just made it up. - No, it's a true story Oh yes.. is it that story? Go ahead and tell them I know. This is the story of Anil. - Anil Kapoor? Smartass! Anil Manchandani, son of Kishore Manchandani
Does that make a difference? - Go and tell us Anil was driving from Nashik Hi. - I am sorry. Sorry. I want a room. One night? Sorry? - One night. - Yes. Fill up the register All of it? - That part Isn't there a waiter or a bellboy? No, there isn't much of business. I like to do all the work on my own Give that to me What do you do? - I'm a fashion photographer Welcome. Welcome. Welcome, sir Not even in the room? It's for those who don't read the sign in the corridor There must be a room here where I can smoke? It's a no-smoking hotel, sir Good night. No-smoking hotel. Great.
What did I say to you before I left, sir? About what? - About the cigarettes Is it forbidden to even carry one? What are you doing? Now look.. you said smoking is not allowed. So I'm not smoking But that is my packet, please give it back to me Didn't I tell you, sir.. ? About the board.. ? When you check-out tomorrow morning, I'll give the packet to you Really. Good night, sir. Good night. Nice show I used to watch it as a kid Childhood is the best time They listen to the stories their parents tell them But when they grow up.. - You're right Now, I want my cigarettes I know smoking is prohibited. I'll go out on the street and smoke As if smoking outside won't give you lung cancer Lung cancer. Throat cancer. Mouth cancer. High blood pressure. Low blood pressure.
But.. Astha.. Asthma! You know? Smoking kills millions of people every year My father died of smoking too I am extremely sorry to hear that. What you say is right.. but it takes time to kick a habit you have cultivated Not at all Bad habits are not difficult to give up, sir Such habits aren't given up with time.. you give it up because of the stick. - I don't want to argue with you So go back to your room. - You are a strange man I admit, smoking causes a lot of diseases, but.. You'll have to admit it, sir. - All right But I'm myself responsible for my death, not you I'll take your advise. I'll even try to give up smoking.. but please give my packet back to me Please. You're a weakling! If you can't give it up now.. you can't ever give it up I can give up this hotel surely Why have you shut the door? You can't go out, sir.
- What? Unless you give up smoking, you can't go out, sir Sir, I think I can rid you of this habit within six months It's only a question of six months, sir So I will stay here with you for six months? Yes, sir Listen, you crazy.. Sir, if I kill you, it'll be for your own well-being. Really, sir What are you doing? Have you gone mad? You pull out a gun over a cigarette? More people die of smoking than of the bullet, sir Please let me go. I promise, I'll give up smoking from this day You're lying.. ? You're telling lies to me? Please. I know you're lying! You're going to smoke outside, aren't you? I know it. - Now look.. please let me go. I'm a family man. I have a wife and kids You have kids? How many? - 2 So think about your kids, sir Sir, believe me, I have changed 70 per cent of the people for the better
And the 30 per cent? The rest of the 30 per cent? Come with me, sir.. come Come. Please come. Please come, sir Keep walking, sir Mind your head. There are some bodies in the room upstairs too I did my best, but they wouldn't give up their habit even in six months So what could I do? You tell me Believe me, one has to do so much to make up people give up their habits I will undoubtedly make you give up your habit in six months But I get the feeling that perhaps you will help me in my work It'll be such a nice feeling, isn't it? The two of us will get together and make people give up this dirty habit Can I have a room? - Certainly Give me an air-conditioned room Sir, your.. Sir.. smoking is prohibited here Smoking is injurious to health Issued by the government in the interests of public health Romi, this is too far fetched. Does such a thing every happen? Does someone go to such extremes to make people give up smoking? I liked the character of the hotel owner Social service.. ..cum psychopath.
But how will a man who comes to stay at the hotel, change so soon? Not soon, it took six months Does anyone change so much in six months? Depends on what he has been put through Or else, just a night is enough for a man to change I saw someone there. - There's no one You're just plain scared. Saw someone! He's simply scaring us. - I thought I saw someone there Come on, Suman. I'll go and get a blanket. - Want me to come to the car? No, it's okay. Does anyone need something? No thanks. - All right The fire's going out, Romi. Put some wood in it You know Akash, with those glasses? - That short chap? He told the teacher the magazine was in my bag I was so scared, I quickly slipped the magazine in Amar's bag Smartass! So it was you! And I got the blame! When the teacher searched, she found the magazine in Amar's bag Did you hear that voice? Don't change the topic.
- It was Minal's voice, Shruti! You're hungry, sandwich. You're hearing things All right, you go on. - What happened then? Stop it now. Please! Romi, sit down. The school reminds me of something.. sit All right, let's have your story but I'll tell you.. ..several about him later This is the story of St Joseph School.. where Dayashankar Pandey taught the children Let me see your homework You haven't done your homework even today? Come here Hurry up Show me your palm Let me see your homework Come here Extend your palm Come on Stand here Extend your palm Have you done this? Here you are What is the matter, Mr Pandey? You seem to be lost in thought There's this girl Pramila in the second standard What's wrong with her?
- She never used to do her homework But now she's been doing it. - So what's there to be worried about? Maybe her folks are helping her, or perhaps she's taking tuitions Have you called me here to say something to me? We generally call the parents when the child does not study well Pramila does her homework Pramila brings her homework all completed I don't understand Earlier, Pramila never used to do her homework But now she's doing it. So.. are you helping her? - No She does it on her own? - Yes Is there no one else at home who helps her? No, there's no one like that But if she is doing her homework nicely.. where's the problem? Well, I.. she.. she writes "Aum" on every page of her homework book So? Don't you find it strange? What's strange about it? I am sorry. I am very sorry. I have simply bothered you There's somebody at the door. One second.
Dayashankar Pandey Teacher. One second Can I call you back? Okay, bye. What is it? - Has Pramila done her homework? To see whether Pramila has done her homework, you.. I want to see how she does it I can understand that you're Pramila's teacher.. and you're worried about her studies, but.. to go to someone's house at this hour.. ? No. No. Please. If you're going to come home to see her homework.. what meaning would the homework have? Mustn't you see it in the classroom? I only want to see how she does her homework However she does it, take a look at it in the classroom tomorrow And, if you don't mind.. will you leave now? I am sorry. What the hell are you doing? Nothing.. just like that Just like that? In the middle of the night.. what are you doing in someone's house? No.. I was trying to catch a glimpse of Pramila Pramila.. ?
Oh my God! How.. How dare you? I'm going to telephone the police! No.. please listen to me! Don't call the police Listen to me! - Listen to what.. ? I have a reason behind all this. - A reason? What do you mean? When I was studying in the second standard.. I had a friend called Varun He was very bright in his studies And I was very weak. He always did his homework.. and I never did. The teacher loved him.. and beat me up. I used to be very jealous of him We used to play together We were once flying a kite together on the terrace Two.. Three. Four. Five. Six Seven. Eight.. To rob him of the kite..
What happened? He fell off the terrace What has all this to do with Pramila's homework? He used to write "Aum" on every page of his homework book too What are you trying to say? Pramila never used to do her homework.. ..but now she has started doing it She does it very well She writes "Aum" on every page like Varun used to Children write a lot of things. For something so trivial.. Mr Pandey, I think you need to see a psychiatrist I.. I'm going mad Maybe I'll go mad I'll consult a doctor tomorrow Please forgive me. I have simply bothered you I am sorry. I am sorry. I'm sorry to have bothered you I am sorry. Varun.. ? You are not insane. But you will be now He wants to kill me.. ? Never. Two ones are two. Two twos are four. Two threes are..
Two threes are.. What? You are not insane But you will be now Two threes are.. Two threes are.. I forgot.

My son.. Purab Enough of these stories. Suman, let's go Yes, let's go. - How can you go away like this? You guys have told your stories. Now let me tell you one Please. Please. I have a condition.. fear is forbidden As they say, those that are afraid, are dead meat Silly. Anyway. This is a story of seven friends Who drove out of town together Suddenly, the tyre of their car was punctured What could they do? It was dark and secluded outside They got out of the car and saw a light somewhere far away Following the light, they got.. Here But how were they going to spend the night? They started telling the others one story after another Listening to the stories, all the friends.. started going out, one at a time What they did not know was that there was someone.. waiting for them outside He was no ordinary man. He was a genius
And every genius has his tragedy. The tragedy with this genius.. was that he wanted to rid people of the fear in their hearts Because it is fear that is destroying the world But people are still afraid of new things Like the way your friends were afraid When you arrived here, how many were you in all? Six? Seven.. ? And yet, you were scared. I saw it When you got out of the car, you were scared of the seclusion Then you were scared of the darkness. You didn't want to go here and there You were scared of fear.. and I hate fear I cannot stand fear. Unless you face fear, fear kills you But your friends are never going to be scared again I have wiped out their fear. There's just one way of doing it Finish the one who feels scared All your friends are dead You're still not afraid, are you? Because you think this is perhaps a story too But what if this were not a story? You'd be scared, wouldn't you? He must die! I told you, fear is forbidden He got scared. So he'll have to go.
He'll have to go now. But I like you. You don't get scared.. you're a nice girl Relax. Easy, easy Are you scared now? Fear is not allowed! It's forbidden! I don't kill. Fear kills you! It's okay now.. you'll not be scared. You won't I told you, I don't kill You've killed them all! Inspector.. Inspector.. listen to me! Inspector, he's the man who killed my friends! Why won't you listen to me? I died too When both of us are dead, what have we to fear? Relax. "You have just as much life.. " "as the courage you possess" "Finish the killer.. " "fear is forbidden" "Those that are afraid.. are dead-men" "Those that are afraid.. are dead-men" "Two multiplied by three is.. I forgot."
"Listen to my heart.." "Listen to my heart.." "Listen.. " "Is dead.." "Heed your heart.. " "fear is forbidden" "Get what I say.. fear is forbidden" "Those that are afraid.. are dead-men" "Those that are afraid.. are dead-men" "Those that are afraid.. are dead-men" "Live to die. Die to live." "You didn't do the homework even today?" "Never. Never. Never ever. Fear." "Listen to my heart.." "fear is forbidden" "Get what I say.. " "Listen to my heart.." "Listen to my heart.." "Those that are afraid.. are dead-men" "Listen to my heart.." "Your journey begins now." Two multiplied by two is two. - Here's the third story. "Two multiplied by four is.." "Two multiplied by three is.. " "You want me to tell you the last story?
