[Roslin, Adama, Tigh and Helo are discussing destroying the hub]
Imagine, once they're gone they can't come back. Mortal enemies.
Before we blow the Hub we need to get a team in, to unbox D'Anna.
Well no, maybe we just don't. Maybe we just forget the godsdamn Boxing Facility.
Lie to the rebels?
Well, they're lying to us!
The humans are never going to allow us to have the Final Five and go our own way.
Are you sure of this?
Not entirely. I'd rather be wrong but we need insurance.
Trust has to begin somewhere.
Not with us. It's our ship. When we jump, we take control of it with the Centurions. We carry out the mission as promised. But when we return, we take hostages. The humans on this ship will stay on this ship until we have the Five. We've changed but the humans haven't. We've come too far to risk everything on their trust.
I don't really care if you have to spend the night on your knees praying, or just on your knees. I want a name. I want to know who's responsible for these lies.
You've been lying. About the President sharing visions with Cylons.
That happens to be the God's honest truth.
Sorry. I can't accept what you've done.
What I've done? Wha.. Where's this coming from?
These rumors you've started. You've seen what they've done to her.
You seriously believe that I'm making all this up? I'm not saying that I'm not capable but why would I?
When I spoke to the Quorum, I could feel it. The contempt.
Then you were right. They're not ready to trust us.
No, I was wrong. We're not ready. We're deceiving them.
For protection. For necessity.
Out of suspicion and fear. Why haven't the Final Five come forward? What if they're watching, judging us by our actions? We're about to resort to violence and coercion. What if they refuse to come with us? We can't do this.
It's too late.
We have to order the Centurions to stand down.
It's too late. They're committed.
Then we have to tell the humans the truth.
No! You can't do that! They'll never trust us again. They already know the coordinates. They'll just go and destroy everything.
Go. Stall for time. Talk to Adama. Tell him anything. Anything but the truth. I'll deal with the Centurions.
