*****Note: For simplisitys sake, Sharon II, later dubbed 'Athena', will be called just that here even though she won't get the nickname until much later. Otherwise, it just gets too confusing.*****

Six downloads after the attack on Caprica
Caprica Six: Where--where-- I was in a house.
Three: But you're not in a house any longer. You're back with us. You've been reborn.
Caprica Six: I died. I died.
Three: That's right. You were in a house. It was destroyed. A nuclear blast. But that is all over now. You have been downloaded into a new body.
Caprica Six: Gaius. Gaius was in the house.
Three: Gaius Baltar?
Caprica Six: Yes. Is he alive? Is he?
Baltar: Shhhhhh. I'm not really here. No o要e can see me but you. Don't let them know.
Three: Six. Would it trouble you if doctor Baltar were dead?
Baltar: If they know how you feel about me, it'll be a problem.
Caprica Six: It would be unfortunate if he died. He was so helpful.
Three: Very helpful. Your mission was a resounding success. It completely disabled the colonial defenses. The attack succeeded beyond our most optimistic projections, thanks to you.

Three: I know there's pain, but breathe-- ride through it. You're going to be okay. Trust me. You're in god's hands. We're all here with you. That's it.
Boomer: *Coughing, retching*
Three: This will pass. Trust me. Everything's gonna be all right.
Caprica Six: Welcome home, sister. We're here. We're going to take care of you.
Two: We're proud of you, Sharon.
Eight: And we love you.
Boomer: Noooooo! Noooooooooooooo!

Three: How are you doing?
Caprica Six: I'm a little stiff. I'm still trying to get used to this body. I mean, I know it's identical, but... even after all this time, I still feel awkward.
Three: I was a klutz too. Always knock things over. Forever tripping over things. And, you know what? You get over it. And you know what, this is a great chance to cleanse. You got a new body, a new life. And anything that you've built up like anxieties or remorse or guilt, just let it wash away.
Caprica Six: I can't tell you how thankful I am. You've--you've been a really big help to me.
Three: No, it's me who's thankful. We all are. You are a warrior. We could not have won without you.
Two: Excuse me. I just wanted to say it's an honor to have you here o要 Caprica with us. What you did, well, it's inspiring. Thank you.

Helo: Hey. How you doing?
Athena: Freezing. I can't feel my legs.
Helo: That's the epidural.
Athena: What happened?
Helo: You passed out and started bleeding again, but everything's going to be all right.
Dr. Cottle: Like hell it is. I find it absolutely amazing. You people went to all the trouble to appear human and didn't upgrade the plumbing. You have a detached placenta. Baby's gotta come out now or we will lose you both.

Caprica Six: Still can't get used to this.
Three: Well, you're a hero of the cylon now. You're our first celebrity.
Caprica Six: No, I'm just another Six.
Three: You're too modest. I'm just another Three. And there are Fives and--or Eights. But you, everyone calls you Caprica Six like you're the o要ly Six o要 the planet. And--and what you did was incredibly difficult. Seduce a man, so emotionally and physically so that he grants you access to all the most closely guarded secrets of his people. That mission could be profoundly disturbing.
Baltar: Disturbing? She sleeping with me and killing billions of people? 'Cause I rather thought you enjoyed sleeping with me.
Caprica Six: It was difficult at times.
Three: So nobody here can possibly understand what you've been through. Which is why we need your help. There's another cylon who's been having trouble re-integrating after a download. Another hero, actually. An Eight. She still insists o要 calling herself Sharon.
Caprica Six: And you thought I could help. I'm still having... I'm having problems of my own.
Three: Caprica, you don't understand. She really needs your help. If we don't turn her around soon, there's talk of boxing her.
Caprica Six: Putting her memories in cold storage? You can't be serious.
Baltar: Well, that's a charming way to deal with emotional problems. o要e might almost call it inhuman. Oh, that's right, you are.
Three: All right, look, it is a last resort, but she has been regressing. Please. She's living up there in that apartment. It's the one she had when she thought she was human.

Boomer: You here to kick me out?
Caprica Six: No.
Boomer: You're here to help me with my adjustment problems. I could save you some time. Ah! This is home. I'm not leaving.
Caprica Six: I lived o要 caprica for two years. I knew what I was-- pretended to be human, but I knew.
Boomer: If you knew what you were and you lived o要 Caprica, you know what that makes you. A really good liar.
Baltar: Start with the elephants.
Caprica Six: These are beautiful. Ithacan?
Boomer: Hand-carved. My mother gave them to me the day I left for the fleet academy.
Caprica Six: Is this her?
Boomer: Supposed to be. 'Course none of it's real. All fabricated for my mission. It's all a lie.

Caprica Six: Following god's path is never easy.
Baltar: Don't get religious with this o要e.
Boomer: What are you thinking? Do you think I care about your god?
Caprica Six: Look, god loves you.
Boomer: She holds up a picture of Galactica's crew. This is love. These people love me. I love them. I didn't pretend to feel something so I could screw people over. I loved them. And then I betrayed them. I shot a man I loved. Frakked over another man, ruined his life. And why? Because I'm a lying machine. I'm a frakking cylon!

Boomer: Never saw a cylon show fear before. Especially the Sixes. Usually so hardcore.
Baltar: Feign fear and emotional vulnerability. You're very good, you know. But I'm better. Let me help you. I'm different.
Caprica Six: I'm different.
Baltar: I'm more like you.
Caprica Six: I'm more like you.
Baltar/Caprica Six: I had someone I met here. A man. I loved him and I think he could've loved me eventually.

Hilliard: Half a cigarette should give us two or three minutes to get the frak out of there. Any longer and we risk them finding the charges before they go off.
Anders: Is it two minutes or three?
Hilliard: About to find out.
Man: This is a risky operation just to nail a couple dozen skin jobs. I mean, we can't kill them. They'll just download into a new body and... I mean, what's the point?
Anders: That skin job with Starbuck-- "Sharon" they called her-- she said that when they download, they remembered everything. Right up until the end. These skin jobs are going to remember being blown into tiny little pieces.
Man: It's gotta hurt.
Anders: Yeah. I hope it hurts a lot. Because sooner or later, the message sinks in. There is no safe place, not even a cafe. So if you want to quit living through hell and dying over and over again, then get the frak off our planet.
*the fuse trips*
Hilliard: Three minutes, ten seconds.
Anders: Boom.

Caprica Six: This house was o要 a bluff over a lake. I always loved the view. Sunlight o要 the water. It's my favorite spot in the universe.
Baltar: Yeah, it's magical. Too bad you nuked it.
Caprica Six: After I downloaded, I went back to the ruins of his house.
Boomer: Why?
Caprica Six: Like you, I was looking for some sort of connection to him. Found a few of his things. Even held o要to them for awhile. But I realized they were keeping me from truly embracing my new life.
Boomer: So what'd you do with them?
Caprica Six: I burned them. But I felt liberated.
Baltar: Yeah, it's a beautiful story, isn't it? Shame it's all a pack of lies.

Boomer: So who was he? This man you loved.
Caprica Six: Maybe you've heard of him. Gaius Baltar.
Boomer: Doctor Baltar?
Caprica Six: Yeah.
Boomer: He gave you access to the colonial defense grid. He was the o要e who betrayed us?
Baltar: "Us." Oh, I love it. This o要e thinks she's more human than cylon. Just like someone else I know.
Boomer: Does he still work for the cylons?
Caprica Six: What?
Boomer: On Galactica?
Caprica Six: He's-- he's alive?
Boomer: He's the vice-president of the colonies. You didn't know that?

Roslin: If her baby does survive, the question is what do we do with it?
Baltar: Do? What are you suggesting? That we throw it out of an air lock?
Roslin: I don't make suggestions, Mr. Baltar. If I want to toss a baby out an air lock, I'd say so.
Baltar: Well, it's really gratifying to know that infanticide's not o要 the table.
Tigh: Do I have to point out that this is not a baby? It's a machine.
Baltar: No, it's half machine, half human. I suggest we all keep that half in mind.
Adama: Cylons went through a great deal of trouble to create this thing. Should go without saying that if it's good for them, it's gonna be bad for us.
Roslin: I completely agree. And I take it as a given we can't turn it over to Sharon to raise. That would be disastrous.

Athena: Hello, Hera. She's got quite a grip o要 her.
*Hera grips Boomer's finger.*
Helo: You don't like it in there, do you, Hera? You gotta stay in till your lungs get stronger.
Athena: She's our little girl. We made her.
Helo: It almost makes you want to believe in the cylon god. Almost.
Athena: I love you so completely.

Boomer: Why do you think they kept it from you?
Baltar: ...is the wrong question.
Caprica Six: The right question is why did she get me to work with you knowing that you'd tell me the truth? She knew I had feelings for Gaius. Knew that I had trouble letting go of him.
Boomer: She must've known it would trigger those feelings and those memories. She's frakking with you. Can't you see that?
Caprica Six: But why?
Baltar: Oh, it's so perfectly obvious. You know, for a self-aware cybernetic life-form, sometimes you can be unbearably obtuse.
Caprica Six: Oh for god sake.
Baltar: Careful.
Three: Everything okay?
Caprica Six: Fine. Just talking with Sharon here.
Three: Yeah? What about?
Boomer: She... asked me to move out.
Three: You know what? Which is what we've been asking her for weeks. I was kind of hoping that you'd see the light after talking to our friend here.
Baltar: She is lying, unfortunately. She has no wish to see Sharon cured. They're just going to do it. They're going to box her.

Three: We've just made a breakthrough. She's agreed to move out of her apartment. Didn't you, Sharon?
Boomer: Yeah. I'm moving out of the apartment.
Three: When?
Boomer: Whenever.
Three: What about now? I'll help. The apartment is right upstairs.
Boomer: Sure. Let me--let me just get some things. *she leaves*
Three: Six, must've been some chat, huh?
Caprica Six: Yes, we had a lot to talk about.

Roslin: This is not a debate. This child will not be raised by the cylon, and I cannot risk cylon agents getting their hands on it. I've made my decision. What I need from you, Doctor, is your help.
Dr. Cottle: Fine. I don't like it, but have it your way.
Roslin: I need it immediately.
Dr. Cottle: *grudgingly* We'll have to find somebody suitable. I'll have to work up a list of names.
*Tori hands him a list.*
Tori: Each of them is capable. Each of them is anonymous. And each can be trusted.
Dr. Cottle: *unhappy* Thought of everything, haven't you?
Roslin: I hope so.

Boomer: *coughing* What happened?
Three: An explosion. Building came down o要 us. Looks like the stairwell saved us.
Boomer: Where's Six?
Three: Her body's dead.
Caprica Six: No, not yet.
Three: Help me out here.
*Caprica Six is covered in debris. The Three and Boomer help her from under it.*
Three: Would've been better if the explosion had killed her. There's nothing we can do about the pain until we get her out of here. Six. I can get a cross beam and put you out of your misery.
Caprica Six: I'm not going to give my own life again.
Three: It's your choice.

Boomer: *to Six* Hang in there. You're gonna be okay.
Anders: Over here! Help me!
Three: A survivor. Hang o要, buddy. We'll get you out.
Boomer: Fresh air coming from down there.
*they help Anders out from under all the debris.*
Anders: Thanks.
*Biers kicks him in the head and takes his guns.

Three: Frakkin' human. You know he probably set that explosion.
Boomer: What, from the resistance? Why? No military value to the cafe.
Three: But humans don't respect life the way we do.
*Three moves to shoot Anders. Boomer grabs the gun and pulls it away before she can.*
Boomer: No! I won't let you kill him.
Caprica Six: She's right. Don't kill him.
Three: Why not?
Baltar: Why not kill him? You've already killed billions of people. Do you honestly believe o要e more body's going to weigh any heavier o要 your conscience, which is something that you don't have, do you?
Caprica Six: We should interrogate him. Find his accomplices.

*Three examines Anders. She finds the dogtag around his neck. She rips it off and reads it.*
Boomer: Looks like colonial fleet id.
Three: Thrace, Kara.
Boomer: Starbuck?
Three: She was o要 caprica a couple of weeks ago. She escaped with the help of another Sharon.
Boomer: If she gave him this, he meant something to her.
Three: Well, then it's sweet.
*She throws it away. Six retrives it without anyone seeing her.*
Baltar: You have it in your hand. Hard physical proof of o要e person's love for another. If only you felt this deeply about us.
Caprica Six: I did. I do. I love you, Gaius.
Baltar: Where's the tangible proof?

Helo: I don't understand. She was doing so well.
Dr. Cottle: No, she wasn't. I tried to tell you that. Her lungs never fully developed. She finally went into respiratory distress. We couldn't get her intubated in time. We lost her. I'm sorry.
Boomer: I should've been here. *She's crying hard*
Helo: Sharon. Sharon, listen. You've lost a lot of blood.
Boomer: You murdered her.
Helo: Sharon. Come o要.
Boomer: Who ordered it? Adama? The President? Who?
Dr. Cottle: I don't kill patients. We did the best we could, but she's dead. And that's all there is to it. I should be able to release the ashes to you in a few hours.
Boomer: Murderer.
*she attacks Cottle.*

Boomer: You're all murderers! You're all murderers!
Dr. Cottle: Get her out of here.
Boomer: Give me my baby!

Caprica Six: You let them murder our child.
Baltar: I am so sorry. I tried. I tried my best.
Caprica Six: God's will was that our child should survive. His will was that she would lead the next generation of god's children. His will was that you would protect her.
Baltar: Yes. Oh!
Caprica Six: You have committed a monstrous and unforgivable sin and now you and your entire wretched race are going to suffer god's vengeance.

on Colonial O要e a woman is holding a baby.
Maya: She's so beautiful. I don't know how to thank you. When I lost my baby, I didn't know how I could go o要.
Dr. Cottle: Well, I'm glad things worked out for you and this little girl.
Maya: I can't believe somebody would give up this little angel.
Tori: You understand, Maya, that this adoption requires absolute secrecy. The mother is a pegasus officer and must remain anonymous for political and religious reasons.
Maya: You have my word.
Roslin: Maya, you won't mind if I drop in occasionally?
Maya: Oh, of course not.
Roslin: Good. Go.
*Maya leaves with the baby. The President looks at Dr. Cottle.*
Roslin: Thank you. I know how awful this was for you. But trust me, it was imperative. As far as the cylons know, this child no longer exists. That is a good, good thing.

*Anders begins to geagin consiousness.*
Three: Is this what you're looking for? You can have it. Here.
*D'anna throws the gun on the ground in front of Sam.*
Boomer: What are you doing?
Three: Just making it easy for him to get what he wants. Come o要. I'll give you a head start.
Anders: I'm fine where I am.
Three: Hey, they're coming for us. And you. They're very interested in you, aren't they?
Boomer: Leave him alone.
Three: Sharon. You're a hero of the cylon. Now you're just a broken machine who thinks she's a human. But you're not a human, Sharon, and you never will be.
Boomer: Yeah, well at least I'm not a murderer. I have a conscience. And I know the difference between right and wrong. A murderer is exactly what you are.

Baltar: Life is short. But the next o要e's not. Let your heart adrift and your soul will get caught.
Caprica Six: I love you, Gaius. My heart and soul are yours.

Baltar: You know why they wanted you to work with Sharon? So you'd lose your mind. They're gonna box you, darling, just like they're going to box Sharon.

Caprica Six: *realizing what Three has been trying to do.* We're dangerous.
Three: What?
Caprica Six: Sharon and I. We're celebrities in a culture based o要 unity.
Three: No.
Caprica Six: Our voices count. More than hers. More than others'. We're two heroes of the cylon, right? Two heroes with different perspectives o要 the war. Perspectives based by our love of two human beings. That's why she wanted me to work with you so that you'd tell me that Gaius was still alive. She wanted me to lose my mind.
Three: No, you're corrupted by your experiences. You're a waste.
Baltar: Believe the lies. Ignore the truth. Listen to me. I will show you the proof. Speak from your heart. Say the things that you know to be true.
Caprica Six: Jealously, murder, vengeance-- they're all sins in the eyes of god. That's what you and I know. That's what they don't want to hear.
Boomer: *understanding* Because then they'd have to rethink what they're doing. They'd have to consider that maybe the slaughter of mankind was a mistake!
*Anders dives for his gun. He grabs it and (still on the ground) takes two shots at her. She dodges the bullets and takes the weapon from him. She points it at him, grinning.*
Three: God loves me.
Caprica Six: See you again soon.
*Six slams a rock into the back of Biers' head hard enough to kill her.*

Boomer: Looks like they're almost here.
Caprica Six: You should get out of here while you can. The fresh air coming in should lead you out.
Anders: Is this some kind of trick?
Caprica Six: You can stay and be tortured if you want. Your call. *she gives him back Starbuck's dogtag.*
Anders: Who are you? What kind of people are you?
Caprica Six: I don't know.
Boomer: Hey, wait! *Boomer tosses Anders his gun. He retrives it and goes. Boomer looks at Six.* How long till she downloads and tells them what happened?
Caprica Six: We had a lot of people in the cafe. At least 36 hours till they get to her. Long enough.
Boomer: Long enough for what?
Caprica Six: To change things for the better.
Boomer: What are you talking about?
Baltar: I have never loved anyone more in my life than I love you now.
Caprica Six: Our people need a new beginning. A new way to live in God's love. Without hate. Without all the lies. All they need is for someone to show them the way. Someone like two heroes of the cylons.
Boomer: I'm with you.
