Boomer drops the Raptor in the valley and steps out with a contingent of Marines; Anders's party makes their way toward her, along the river. He waits with his group behind a big tree and soon enough, she calls out from across the shallow ford: "Go Panthers!" Adama's favorite team, and the rivals of the Buccaneers, Anders's team. "C-Bucks rule!" he shouts. She comes out from the green, trudges across the river, and Anders comes to meet her. She throws her arms around him and they are very still: "Sam. Been a long time." He looks at her apologetically -- "I see you every day" -- and her smiles falls a bit. They nod together, sad, and he takes her back to his party.
The trucks head out of New Caprica City; Gaeta runs from truck to truck looking for Cally.
"Lords," Kara prays, "please don't take her life. It was my mistake, don't punish her for it." Leoben puts his hand on her shoulder and comforts her: "It was an accident, Kara." Which somehow makes me sure it wasn't. Casey opens her eyes and Kara gasps: "Casey, Casey. Oh my Gods, honey." She smiles down at her and caresses her face, puts her hand in Leoben's without looking, her other hand on her daughter's arm. Casey seems to look at us between them; maybe I only want to see her as somehow sinister because I want all three of them to be playing a game. Even Leoben's taken aback by Kara's sudden turn. I hope she's fooling.
The jeeps full of detainees head out into a canyon, and Cavil orders Jammer to "let them stretch their legs." So...they're dead, I guess. He calls for a five-minute rest break and everyone unloads from the truck. Cavil watches, Cally snivels. "Tell me something, Laura," says Zarek. "Last year you tried to steal the election, didn't you." She smiles up at him: "Yes, I did... Tom." He laughs. "Wish you'd gone through with it." She nods. "Me too." Me too!
Boomer hears something, at the rendezvous, and then there's strafing fire everywhere; a Marine goes down as the meeting party retreats.
Jammer grabs Cally and hauls her away, still wearing his mask. He pulls out a knife and cuts her zip cuffs. "Run. Run, don't look back. Go." He pushes her down the bluff; she gets to her feet and starts running. Jammer watches. The NCP see the Centurions coming, and run off like little bitches. Cavil steps away, and Zarek pulls Laura back as their hands flip inside out, becoming guns. And Cally runs. And as the Centurions open fire, she drops to the ground.
