funeral?
-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?
-It'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.
-One of us wasn't cut out to be a pilot.
One of us wouldn't have even 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..wh..why can't you get this
through your head?
Zak did not belong in that plane.
He shouldn't have been there.
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,
because the last time anybody saw the cylons,
they looked more like walking chrome toasters.
Those models are still around.
They have their uses.
Prove it.
-If you're a cylon, prove it to me right now.
-I don't have to.
-You know I'm telling the truth.
-See, stating something as the truth
doesn't necessarily make it so,
'cause the truth of the matter is,
I don't believe a word of it.
You believe me,because, deep down,
you've always known there was
something different about me,
something that didn't quite
add up in the usual way.
And you believe me,
because it flatters your ego.
To believe that alone, among all the billions
of people of the 12 colonies,
you were chosen for my mission.
Your mission? What mission?
You knew I wanted access to the defense mainframe.
The defense...
wait a minute.
The defense mainframe?
-What exactly are you saying?
-Come on, Gaius.
The communications frequencies,
deployment schedules,
-unlimited access to every database.
-Oh, my god.
I had nothing to do with this.
-You know I had nothing to do with this.
-You have an amazing capacity for self-deception.
How do you do that?
How many people know? About me?
Specifically, that I'm involved.
Even now, as the fate of your entire world
hangs in the balance,
all you can think about is how this affects you.
Do you have any idea what they will
do to me if they find out?
-They'll probably charge you with treason.
-Treason is punishable by the death penalty.
-This is unbelievable.
-What are you doing?
-Phoning my attorney.
-That won't be necessary.
He'll know what to do.
He'll sort this out.
He's the best in the business.
It won't be necessary, because in a few hours,
no one will be left to charge you with anything.
-What exactly are you saying?
-Humanity's children are returning home.
Today.
I'd like to thank you all again for being here,
and, Elosha,
thank you very much for those wonderful words.
Next is a ceremonial fly-by by the last
galactica squadron, led by captain Lee adama.
And now it is my great pleasure to introduce
the last commander of the battlestar galactica,
commander Adama.
Thank you very much.
The cylon war is long over.
Yet, we must not forget the reasons
why so many sacrificed so much
in the cause of freedom.
The cost of wearing the uniform
can be high, but...
Sometimes it's too high.
You know, when we fought the cylons,
we did it to save ourselves from extinction,
but we never answered the question why.
Why are we as a people worth saving?
We still commit murder
because of greed, spite, jealousy.
And we still visit all of our sins
upon our children.
we refuse to accept the responsibility
for anything that we've done,
like we did with the cylons.
We decided to play god,
create life.
When that life turned against us,
we
