Previously on Battlestar Galactica. Sharon, get outta here! Where are you? Sharon! Halt! No sudden moves. Down on your knees. Now! I'm human. I'm from Oasis. It's a hamlet outside Cabracasidias. I'm not a Cylon! Don't leave me! "Attention. The Scorpia Traveller has docked." "Civilians boarding Galactica, please proceed to security checkpoints." Next. Next. Next. Next. Yeah. It's all clear? I got your back, Chief. Thanks. (BOTH SIGH) (LAUGHS) Did anybody see you? No. I went through the hatch on C Causeway. Hmm. Good girl. (TANNOY) You know, sometimes at work,... I try and conjure up what your face looks like. The curve of your lips, the way your hair falls, how you smell. You see my face every day. Yeah, but not like this. (LAUGHS) Security. Bexell. Send an armed detail to meet me in promenade Causeway C level. Approach from aft. Repeat. Approach from aft. Doral! (SCREAMING) (EERIE MUSIC) IMS Subtitles. Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Able 2022 Yargh! What's the count? Three dead, 13 injured. We get a good look at the bomber? Yes. It was him, right? Yes. I wanna see the Master At Arms in my office in ten minutes. A Cylon? Eye-witness accounts all state the bomber was a man. The Cylons look like us now. Like us?! Yeah, they appear human. Flesh and blood. The whole thing. The bomber was another copy of a man we knew as Doral posing as the public relations officer aboard this ship. There are multiple versions of the same Cylon. I want you to open an investigation immediately. I want to find out how that Cylon or any civilian could break through our security. There have been a string of security incidents aboard ship, sir. The water tank explosion, the discovery of explosives and now this. Your point? I need a free hand. The authority to follow evidence wherever it might lead without command review. Independent tribunal? Yes, sir. You'll get it. Thank you. That'll be all, sergeant. I also strongly recommend alerting the public to the Cylon threat. If there are other copies of this man aboard the fleet, we should find them before they strike again. I'll take that under advisement. That'll be all. Sirs. Open to the public? There's a can of worms. Keeping silent has helped us very much. Maybe shining a light on the situation will make things pop up. Alright. Hey. I owe you one. Sir. Colonel. Get me the President. Don't snag the line Got it. OK, let's go. So, who's first? How 'bout me? Hey, Chief. How's it going? Hi! Come on, let's have it. Come on. You people are the sorriest of the sorry, the dumbest of the dumb. You're making a one-way trip to sick bay or the morgue. Now, tonight after night call, one of you brings me twice that length of copper tubing a spot here and a CO2 scrubber, I'll show you people how this is done. (BOTH LAUGH) Alright? (LAUGHS) Now get the hell out of here before I change my mind. (ALL LAUGH) Thank you. (SIGHS) Children. He's very handsome. You really think so? She says that about everyone. You disagree? He's attractive. I hope you're more convincing than that with him. If he wants to find me, he'll head north towards Cylon forces he's already seen. If he wants to go alone, he'll go south, hoping to find another way off the planet. Either way, he won't make his move until nightfall. If he flees, he dies. There's gonna be a huge reaction. If there are other Cylons aboard our ships we need to find them. If we enlist the help of the public, it'll make it a lot easier. People are gonna be shocked, angry, terrified, paranoid. There is a price to be paid when asking for the public's help. They're going to demand that someone be held accountable. I'm setting up a tribunal. And it'll have to come back with a name, someone who screwed up. We don't know if anybody screwed up. A Cylon agent penetrated your security killing three people. At least one of your men or women screwed up. Look, here's my view, independent tribunal, openness, transparency, it all sounds great, but after 20 years in political office this things have a way of inflicting damage on the people you least expect. I do not want a witch hunt on our hands. So, where were you at the time of the bombing? In my rack reading some trashy novel Socinus gave me. Did you see the Chief? The Chief? He was on the hangar deck going over some paperwork. How do you know that if you were in your rack Oh, I saw him right before I turned in. I was with Kelly playing Pyramid in the mess hall corridor. You sure? Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's pretty good. Did you see the Chief? Yeah, he was there. Not the whole time, but he dropped in and watched us play for a while. OK. I was on watch. Did you see the Chief? The Chief? No. He wasn't on the hangar deck? No. Oh, wait, he was. He came in to do some work on one of the Vipers the Captain runs. Thank you. Asleep in my rack. You sure about that? Positive. I was asleep, sergeant. Alright. That'll be all for now. (INDISTINCT) Good afternoon and thank you for coming. Please be seated. I'm sure by now word of the explosion on the Galactica has spread through the entire fleet. We offer our continued gratitude to the brave men and women aboard this mighty ship. "In consultation with Commander Adama, I have appointed an independent tribunal to investigate the circumstances surrounding this explosion." "Also, in the interests of security and public safety, I feel it is time to reveal certain information that has until now remained a tightly guarded secret." "This information was known only to myself, Commander Adama, and a few select advisers." Cat's out of the bag. The Cylons have the ability to mimic human form. They look like us now. Did you hear that?! "We have reason to believe that a Cylon agent was responsible for the explosions aboard Galactica." This man has been identified as a Cylon agent. We believe him to be responsible for the bombing. He evidently slipped aboard the Galactica with a civilian group, killed a marine guard, stole the explosives and detonated them killing three member of the crew and destroying himself. This man has also been identified as a Cylon. And we now know that there are duplicates of each Cylon model. Anyone seeing either of these two men, any time, anywhere in the fleet should immediately contact the Battlestar Galactica and the Office of the President. Now I'll take your questions. (HUBBUB) "(HUBBUB)" They've known about this the whole time?! They just decide to tell us now?! A Cylon?! A Cylon?! I mean, who's a Cylon now? I don't even wanna know this. Excuse me, sir. Will you come with us, please? What?! Why? What's going on, sarge? Chief, we need you to come as well. You're arresting the Chief?! Who is? No-one is under arrest. What's the meaning of all this? Step back. The lieutenant asked you a question, sergeant? A tribunal has been convened to look into the Cylon penetration of our defences. It requires the presence of Valerii and Chief Tyrol. I am here to escort them to the ward room, sir. (SIGHS) Very well. Proceed. Thank you, sir. Lieutenant, Chief, you'll come with me please. Keep it till I get back. Don't worry. Lt Valerii, where were you at the time of the explosion? Erm... I was in my rack, asleep. Did anyone see you, sir? I don't know, I was asleep. Lieutenant, is it true that you and the Chief are involved in a romantic and physical relationship in violation of the colonial code of military conduct? I thought this was about - Just answer the question. Are you and the Chief involved in a relationship? No! The XO ordered us to put a stop to it, so we did. Sir, can you testify as to the whereabouts of Chief Petty Officer Tyrol at the time of the bombing? I have no idea where he was. Thank you, sir. You're excused. I'm sure he had nothing to do with the bombing. You are excused, Lieutenant. Bring in the next witness, please. The testimony you give may be used to adjudicate your guilt or innocence in the matter under investigation. Do you understand? Yes. The matter being investigated is, first, how a Cylon penetrated Galactica's security system? And, second, whether one of Galactica's crew aided and abetted this crime through conspiracy and collusion with the Cylons? Collusion with the Cylons?! Will you give your testimony without invoking your right to remain silent as provided for under the 23rd Article of Colonisation? I do. Then let's begin. They're going after the Chief. They're going after the Cylons. What does that mean? Wake up! The world changed while you were asleep. Frak you! Cylons look like people. That means anyone. Anyone. Not the Chief! How do you know? I know! This is stupid! You two just wanna keep your heads buried in the sand! That's exactly what the Cylons want, for us to turn on each other. Start getting suspicious and paranoid. She's right. If we don't believe in each other, we ain't nothing. That kind of thinking is over. It's every man for himself now. You better watch your backs. You had the midwatch before the bombing, correct? Yes. Please explain to the tribunal what you do on watch. I walk the perimeter of the hangar deck, the tool room, store facilities. Make sure all hatches are sealed? Yes. That no unauthorised personnel are where they shouldn't be? That's right. And there was no-one on the hangar deck that night. Hmm. I believe that's what your log says. What about the hatch combing for Causeway C? Did anybody see you? No, I went through hatch combing on C Causeway. Your log indicates that all hatches and portholes were locked and sealed If that's what the log indicates, that's the case. Including the hatch for Causeway C? I don't know where she's going with this, but they're not related. What if I told you that I found the hatch open after the bombing? I don't know how that's possible. It's not just any hatch, it opens onto a causeway which leads directly to a small arms locker where a marine guard was found dead. The locker was opened with the correct code. Do you have the correct code to that locker, Chief? Yes, I do, as do dozens of others, including the guard. It's possible a Cylon forced the guard to open it before he killed him I would also like to point out that was an internal security matter. Internal security falls under the Master At Arms. And the Master At Arms is Sergeant Hadrian. Did Lieutenant Valerii leave the hatch combing open last night? I have no idea who left the hatch combing open last night. Chief, were you doing paperwork at the time of the bombing? No. Were you working on a Viper at the time of the bombing? No. Were you watching a game of Pyramid at the time of the bombing? No. As I told you, I was asleep in my rack! Then why do I have three different statements from three of your deck hands stating that they all saw you and you were anywhere but in your rack? Chief Tyrol, where were you at the time of the bombing? Were you, in fact, meeting with a Cylon agent? I exercise my right under Article 23. By invoking the 23rd Article the tribunal will look on this as further evidence of your guilt, so I will ask you one last time, who were you with at the time of the bombing? And was this person a Cylon agent? Specialist, your sworn statement indicates that you were on watch at the time of the bombing and that you saw Chief Tyrol work on a Viper. Is that true? Yes, sir. Specialist, can you explain to us why Chief Tyrol told us that he was in his rack asleep at the time of the bombing? Er... Speak up, Specialist. He said that? Did you see him or didn't you? Specialist? No. No, I did not, sir. So the Chief did not come to the hangar deck after all? I don't know. I er... I left my post. Excuse me? I left my post, sir. I er... I ducked out to get a smoke. I went to the galley to get some chow. The Chief... I mean, I don't know where he was. I'm sure he was asleep in his rack just like he said. You went to the galley? Yes, sir. Did you go through the hatch combing on C Deck? Well, to get to the galley that'd be the best way. Yes, sir, I went through the hatch. Did you leave it open? I'm not sure. Yes, sir, I think I did. (GASPS) The Chief had nothing to do with it, it was me. I left my post and I left the hatch open. It was me. Just me. You realise that by leaving the hatch open, you allowed a Cylon to gain access to a small arms locker? Yes, sir. Specialist, did Chief Tyrol instruct you to leave the hatch open as part of a conspiracy to allow the Cylon to gain access to the locker? The Chief is innocent. He didn't do anything. Specialist, did you leave the hatch open deliberately? Yes, sir. Whatever happened, it was me just me. South. You overestimated hid willingness to risk himself for you. He just doesn't love you. Wait! North. Toward his love. Seems you made an impression after all. He's a good man. He always does the right thing. Are you prepared for the next step? Yes. Hello, Lieutenant. Doctor. I erm... I brought you a recovery gift. Er... How are you? I'm good. The er... (LAUGHS) food is good, company's better. I happened to be absolutely nowhere near sick bay, I thought I would er... see how you're doing? So, Doctor, your super secret project's on C Deck, right? I'm not at liberty to divulge what I'm doing, but you're welcome to pop by once you're ambulatory. The bomber was on C Deck, right? Yes. I heard the explosion. Very frightening. You think that's where he was headed? (MONITORS BEEP) I'm sorry, I don't follow you. The Cylon bomber, do you think he was trying to blow up your project? And you along with it? It's funny, I erm... I hadn't thought of that. Kinda hits you where you live, huh? Yes, it does, actually. Erm... you get well soon. (SIGHS) They're trying to kill me. Me! Me! Always me! They're trying to destroy your work. Destroying you is an added bonus. But why? I don't understand. Why are they trying to blow me up? I wouldn't be making this Cylon detector if it wasn't for you. But I'm just in your head, Gaius. They don't know about me or us or our life together. How romantic(!) I'll have to destroy that Cylon detector myself, blame the sabotage on Cylon agents. That's what I'll tell Adama` Oh! No, you won't! You're gonna complete the project just like I told you. Really? Well, I... Or what? Don't make me angry, Gaius! You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (SIGHS) Sharon. Urgh! Is that enough? No. Sharon wouldn't give up without a much harder fight. Did you read the tribunal report? Yes. And I'm sorry to read that one of your men has been charged with conspiracy and collusion with the Cylon agents. Specialist Socinus. But after reading the transcripts, I have my doubts. What about this other man, Chief Tyrol? He took the 23rd. What is that about do you think? It's his right. The courts have never held that invoking the right to remain silent can be used as evidence of guilt. You sound like a lawyer. My father was a lawyer. Civil liberties. Let's set aside the legalities for a moment. Obviously, you are defending your man. I respect that, I do, but he is hiding something. Chief Tyrol has been under my command for over five years and if he really wanted to take this ship down,... he could. I think this is over. (DOOR OPENS) Madam President, I'm gonna have to call you right back. What?! I have orders to bring you before the tribunal, sir. Let's go. (PANTS) (METAL CLANGS) Urgh! (GROANS) (GROANS) (PANTS) (WHIMPERS) It's OK. OK. (SOBS) Helo! (SOBS) Shh! OK. Can you... can you walk? I think so. OK. Come on. OK. OK! (LAUGHS) Now we're even. (LAUGHS) (PANTS) I think we should go. Alright. OK. OK. OK. Come on. It's gonna be alright. You're gonna be just fine. (PANTS) Commander Adama, when did you first learn the truth about the Cylons? On Ragnar Station before we left. And you chose to withhold this crucial information, sir? Yes. Why? I felt that... to alarm the public would only cause chaos and panic. But... you also withheld the information from your own security detachment aboard ship, sir. Not knowing who to trust, I decided to keep the information compartmentalised for the time being. Sir, isn't it true that had we known that the Cylons appeared human, different security procedures would have been followed? Probably. But I had to weigh the possible ramifications of both. Isn't it also true, sir, that with different procedures the bombing may have been prevented? That's speculative. I'm asking if it's possible? I know what you're asking. I will not speculate as to what might have happened. Do you personally believe that a Cylon agent planted explosives in the ship's water tank? Yes. Do you believe there are Cylon agents aboard ship even as we speak? Yes, I do. Sir, isn't it true that you knew that Lt Valerii and Chief Tyrol were having an illicit relationship in violation of regulations? I don't see the relevance of this line of questioning. The Commander should bear in mind that my questions are not subject to Commander's review. Why did you allow the relationship to continue knowing it was against regulations? I'm a soft touch. Are you aware of the fact that both Lt Valerii and Chief Tyrol have been implicated as possibly being in collusion with the Cylons? I am aware of the allegations. Where are you going with this? I will ask the questions, sir! Isn't it true that by allowing their relationship to continue, you may have made it possible for two Cylon collaborators to compromise the safety and security of this ship? (SIGHS HEAVILY) We're done here. Excuse me, sir, but my questions are not finished! You've lost your way, sergeant. You've lost sight of the purpose of the law, to protect its citizens not persecute them. Whatever we are, whatever's left of us, we're better than that. Now these proceedings are closed. You'll be transported back to your ships. We appreciate your help. He doesn't have the authority. Commander. This is an independent board, you have no authority to close our inquiry. This is a witch hunt. I will not have it aboard my ship. Corporal of the guard, restrain the Commander and return him to the witness chair! (SIGHS) Your orders are to escort Sergeant Hadrian back to her quarters and keep her in confinement till further notice. Make your choice, son. Sergeant Hadrian,... you'll come with us, please. (MUTTERING) She's just about to begin. (CHATTER) Good evening. Have a seat. The investigation into the suicide bombing aboard Galactica and how it was allowed to occur has come to a close. "You are all aware that the bomber was a Cylon agent." "The tribunal has determined that the Cylon gained access to the explosives by going through a hatch door in the hangar deck of the ship." "This door was left open due to the negligence of one of the ship's crewmen." "His name is Specialist Socinus." "He's confessed to lying under oath and dereliction of duty in time of war." He's been stripped of his rank and confined to the brig. At this point, we have no reason to believe there were any other parties responsible. "I'll take question. You, sir." Commander, permission to enter? What is it, Chief? Thank you, sir. Sir, I believe that Socinus... I believe that his confession was a lie. I think that he's covering for me. For you? I think that he's doing this out of a sense of misplaced loyalty to me. Somewhere in this there is the truth. Care to take me to it? Sir, I was with Lt Valerii at the time of the bombing. The deck gang have known all along. They're trying to cover for me They started lying. Socinus... I think that he thinks he's helping protect me by taking a fall like this. You don't really know whether he was on duty or not, do you? Commander, he's innocent! I know that much. I should be in the brig! That's a fact. You should be in the brig. Commander, this isn't right! You can't let an innocent kid - I can't? What I can't do is I can't let someone who wears this uniform get on a witness stand and lie under oath. And that's what your man did. He either lied the first time or he lied the second time. And it doesn't matter, he's guilty and he'll pay the price. You, you'll pay a different price. You'll have to walk out on that hangar deck every day knowing that one of your me n is in the brig because you couldn't keep your fly zipped. You're the most experienced non-commissioned officer we have left You keep my planes flying. I need my planes to fly. Dismissed. Yes, sir. Mmm! Sharon, no. No, no. What? Sharon, we're done. It's over. What do you mean, it's over? I love you. I really do. I'm sorry. Wait a minute. I deserve more of an explanation than that. Sure. One of my men is in the brig. He confessed to a crime that he didn't commit to protect me, to protect us. Well there can be no more "us". No more secrets, no more lies, that's it! It's over. I can't believe you can just turn your back on us. I put everything on the line for you, everything! I cover for you, I protect you, I risk my career, my integrity, my freedom, for what?! So one of my innocent kids can take the fall for me?! No! We are not worth that. OK. Right. Guess I'll see you around. One more thing. Did you leave the hatch combing open last night? What? Did you leave the hatch combing open last night? What are you saying? That I helped the Cylon? I didn't say anything, I was just asking you a question. I think I deserve an answer. You have the only answer you're ever gonna get. IMS Subtitles. Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
