'Previously on Battlestar Galactica.' Just do it. This could be it. This is the planet that solves all of our problems. What did you see? A dome-like structure with six roads leading out of it. This planet... is Kobol. Organise a ground survey team, three raptors. They're everywhere! Get us out of here! We need a way to take out the base ship before we can attempt a rescue. If you go back to Caprica and bring me the arrow,... ..I will show us the way. What are you doing, Starbuck? She just jumped away. Where the hell did she go? Home. (ALL COUGH) Oh, my God! Come on! Move it! Everybody up! Come on! Up! Come on! Come on! Go! Go! Go! Come on! Come on! Move! Out! Come on! I'm going! Come on! Get him out of the chair! Drag him out! Come on! After me! I got him! I got him! For God sakes, move! Come on! I got his legs! Agh! I got his legs! I got him! Watch his shoulder! Pull! Mind his shoulder! Agh! Doc! Doc! Doc, come on! Agh! Doc! Agh! Doc! Doc! Take my hand. Gaius, take my hand. Hey! Hey, come on! Wake up! Stay with me! We gotta go! Come on! Come on! Come on! Go! (PEOPLE SHOUT) (PEOPLE SHOUT) 'It's gonna blow!' Get down! Get down! Stay down! Stay down! Stay down! LT, you OK? I think that blew both tanks. Stay! Get him down! Agh! You alright? You OK? 'Get the supplies before they burn up! Go!' Right away. 'Yeah, it's both tanks.' 'The gas is gone. It's all gone.' It's a museum. So what? It's more than that. It's the home of the arrow of Apollo. (SIGHS) What the hell is that? You never liked history. Come on, Helo. It's supposed to be the only clue as to the location of earth. Earth? What are you talking about? Who's going to earth? It doesn't even exist. I'm trying to get back to Galactica. I need a way off this planet and a way back to my ship If you don't do that, I'll blow your head off. Why don't you just shut up for a change? You're only alive because I've kept you alive. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead by now. If you like it or not, I'm your only hope of getting off this planet. So if I were you, I'd take that tough-guy attitude and shove it! We can't move around the city during daylight. So we hold up and we wait till dark. (God!) Unbelievable. She's crossed the line before but this is so far beyond the pale. She wouldn't have done this on her own. She was coerced. No-one coerces Starbuck. Believe me, I've tried. Commander? I have the president on the line. Bear witness. Put on your headset. (COMM) "Madam President, moments ago Lieutenant Thrace took the Cylon raider, an unscheduled and unauthorised jump." Yes. Do you have any knowledge of this incident? Let's save some time, Commander. The question you really want to ask me is whether I asked Lieutenant Thrace to take the raider to Caprica. (COMM) "The answer to your question is yes." You and I talked about this. Yes, we had. "We both decided it was a military decision." My responsibility as president is first and foremost to protect and preserve this fleet and its future. "In the end, that outweighs any other consideration. It has to." By taking the raider, you've placed our people on the surface of Kobol in direct danger. I'm very aware of the danger our men and women are in on Kobol. I am also deeply aware of the danger this civilisation will be in if I ignore the pursuit of this arrow. I'm going to have to ask you for your resignation, Madam President. "No." Then I'm terminating your presidency as of this moment. Commander Adama,... I will exercise the authority of this office until I am unable to do so. So if you want to stage a coup,... ..you're gonna have to come over here and arrest me. I don't want any blood shed. Of course you don't. Neither do I. Neither does the press. They're here, by the way. The press? They're recording every minute. Order the lead of Colonial One. Mr Gatta. Sir? Jam any transmissions in or out of Colonial One. Yes, sir. Prepare a strike team. As long as she's president, she's dangerous. If she can turn Starbuck against us, she's capable of anything. Yes, sir. She's bluffing. Let's hope so. There's also a Cylon base ship out there to deal with. Leave that to me. This government survived a Cylon attack. It will survive Adama. I think he's bluffing. But just in case, we need to be prepared. I know their security detail. They'll defend that ship. We'll have to take her down compartment by compartment. Mr Gatta. Sir? Am I correct in assuming I have two Cylon transponders left? Yes, sir, but only one of them is fully functional. One will do. Now I need a pilot. Sir? As you were. How are you feeling? It looks worse than it is, sir. Things are moving very quickly and I need every pilot. I'm ready, sir. I have a very special mission for you and I won't kid around. It's high risk, extremely high risk. I understand. I need you to light jump to Kobol and take care of this basestar. We're placing a Cylon transponder aboard your raptor. In theory, it should allow you to approach the basestar without getting fired upon. But we'll still be IDed as colonial raptors once we're in visual range. For all they know, you could be Cylon agents returning with a captured raptor. Once you're inside the defence perimeter, I need you to make them think you wanna dock. You have to fire your nuke into the loading bay... ..and then jump back home immediately. Do you understand? I understand. I can do it, sir. I know I can. You have to. (Yes, sir.) Hagh. Agh. (BREATHES HEAVILY) Ugh. Oh, this doesn't look good. Please tell me this was not all for nothing. Oh. Oh, I'm good. I am really good. (LAUGHS) I'm home. I'm home. "(CONSOLES BEEP)" OK, please tell me that you're right about this transponder thing. Stop! Stop that! I'm nervous. (SIGHS) Like anything scares you. Things scare me, Helo. I have feelings. You have software. I don't know if you can hear this or not, Helo, but what we had between us was important. It was very important. Why? Because it was the next step. Because it brings us closer to God. Don't mock the gods. It's a human belief. I'm human. There are gods! But beyond that, I just want you to know that I genuinely feel something for you. I don't care. I don't love you. I loved what I thought was you. Helo, I think there's something else that you should know. I'm pregnant. (COMM) "Galactica, Apollo. We have visual ID on Colonial One." Tell Apollo he's cleared to begin the assault. Contact us when he has soft seal on the hull. Aye, sir. Commander? Striker in the air ready for their jump to Kobol. Put them through down here. Boomer, Galactica actual. (COMM) "I just wanted to say good luck, good hunting." "I have complete faith in both of you." (COMM) Actual, we won't let you down. Start the jump clock. "(CONSOLE BEEPS)" Clock is running. (COMM) "Galactica, Apollo. We have soft seal." I know Commander Adama and I'm counting on the fact that when push comes to shove, he is the kind of man who will not want bloodshed. Nevertheless, this may not be the safest place. Billy, how many civilians are in the cargo hold? 176. There's room in the cargo hold and I implore you to find refuge there with the other civilians. This is my choice. This is my choice. You do not have to come with me. We stand with our president. "(BEEPING)" Yes? Right. Security commander reports sounds of someone cutting through the hull. The raptors are cutting through the hull, sir. Get the president on the line. Do you think this thing is working? "(TRANSPONDER BEEPS)" We're about to find out. (Oh, my God!) (SIGHS) I guess so. Yeah. Phew! How we doing? It's not responding, sir. Are you even trained to use this thing? How's he doing, Chief? Not doing so good. I don't know if his lungs are burnt or what. Well, he's a tough kid. He's gonna... He's gonna pull through. Get those wounds looked at, Chief. Yeah. Lieutenant? Shouldn't we be moving out? I mean do you have a plan for tactical deployment or...? Get to the high ground. It'll be our best chance of being seen by a search party. High ground's also our best chance of being seen by the Cylons. They're flying around, sir. They may land troops before we get rescued. That's true. Yeah. Sir, if I may suggest that we... take cover on the ground? Maybe somewhere where we won't be seen from the air? OK, yeah, Chief. That's... (SIGHS) Carry on, Chief. Launch the nuke and prepare to jump. (MUTTERS) What? The release is jammed. I can't free it. Agh! "(ALARM BLARES)" Agh! Agh! We can dock inside the ship. Excuse me?! If they think we're Cylons, they'll let us dock. We can release the bomb manually and drop the nuke inside the ship itself. It'll work. Oh, my God. (ENGINES RUMBLE) (WHIMPERS) Tarn, Cylix, can I get a hand up here, please? Yes, sir. Cally, how's he doing? Not good, sir. Get a blanket on him. Keep him warm. How are you? Alive. You saved me. You saved my life. Care to return the favour? Are you in need of saving? You wondered why you were chosen? Why God chose you above all other humans to survive and serve his purpose? Now's the time to find out why. Lords of Kobol, hear our prayer. Bring us out of the darkness and into the light. Give us the strength to show mercy... President says she will not yield. The president says she will not yield. So be it. Come on, tell me he's not actually gonna do this. Tell me she's not gonna make him do it. Deem our hearts that they may find peace in the midst of war. '(METALLIC CLANGING)' What's going on, Billy? '(CLANGING INTENSIFIES)' They're in. Quickly. Billy. Billy. Sir,.. they're in. Pretty, isn't it? Hello, Lieutenant. Something I can help you with? I'm setting her down. Open the hatch. I'll release the bomb. Keep the engines ready for take-off the second I get back. Yes, sir. Close the hatch behind me. If I'm not back in five minutes, just go. You got it. Welcome back to Caprica, Lieutenant. Like what we've done with the place? What the frack are you doing? Where are you going? Sonofabitch! OK,... OK... 'Sharon,... Sharon.' 'Sharon.' This isn't happening. Come on, Starbuck. Got anything left? Starbuck? Madam President, no-one needs to get hurt. Then why don't you get off my ship, Colonel? I'm placing you under arrest. No, no, we're not doing this. I'm in command here, Captain. Colonel, this is wrong. You're relieved. Fall back. Madame President - Men, lay down your weapons. Have you lost your fracking mind? Colonel, tell these marines to fall back. This is mutiny, you know that. Yes, I do. But you can tell my father that I'm listening to my instincts. My instincts tell me we cannot sacrifice our democracy because the president makes a bad decision. Put your guns down. Madame President, stand back. Put your gun down, Captain. I will not have blood shed out of your men or my people on the Colonial One. Put your gun down. All of you. Please put your gun down. Let's go, Captain. Let's go. You're confused and scared. But it's OK. I'm not a Cylon. I'm Sharon Valerii. I was born on Troy. My parents were Catherine and Abraham Valerii. You can't fight destiny, Sharon. It catches up with you. No matter what you do. Don't worry about us. We'll see you again. We love you, Sharon. And we always will. (BANGING AT DOOR) Boomer! 'Come on, let's go!' What the hell took so...? Go! Where's your helmet? Close the hatch. Don't turn around. He put his weapon right to my head. He said to tell you he was following his instincts, whatever that means. Bring him here. "What about Roslin?" We put her in the brig. "(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)" Contact. It's Boomer and Racetrack, sir. Put them on the speakers. "Galactica, Boomer. Mission accomplished. Repeat - Mission accomplished." "Basestar is history." (ALL CHEER / APPLAUD) There's some good news. Bring 'em home. It's great to hear your voice, Boomer. Come on home. (GROANS) OK. I can't believe it. You are, like, the last person I expected to see. (PANTS) I could say the same thing about you. Are you OK? Oh! I missed you. I... She's a Cylon! No, no! (GUN SHOT) You can't. You can't. She's pregnant. (SCREAMS) (SOBS) I know this place. Of course you do. Go inside. I don't understand. Life has a melody, Gaius,... ..a rhythm of notes that become your existence once played in harmony with God's plan. It's time to do you part and realise your destiny. Which is what exactly? You're the guardian and protector of the new generation of God's children. The first member of our family will be with us soon, Gaius. It's time to make your choice. But I don't understand what you're talking about. Really, I don't understand. Come see the face of the shape of the things to come. Isn't she beautiful, Gaius? Open the cell. Close the cell. Well done, Lieutenant. Thanks. Hey, nice work. Thanks. What's going on? A lot happened while you were gone. Congrats. Thanks. Congratulations to both of you. You've carried out a very difficult and dangerous mission and you did it despite any personal misgivings you may or may not have had. For that, I'm very proud. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Someone get a doctor! Get a doctor! IMS Subtitles. Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
