The Galactica has succeeded in reuniting with the fleet, but it has paid a terrible price: a Cylon computer virus has penetrated its computers, robbing the ship of power, and Cylon Centurions have boarded the Galactica.

When an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony: Earth.

Previously on Battlestar Galactica ` If you bring me the arrow, I will show us the way to Earth. What do you want from me, Helo?! She's a Cylon! I'm not gonna let you kill her! She's carrying my child! The bitch took my ride. I am placing you under arrest, Madam President. This is mutiny. I'm terminating your presidency as of this moment. Execute jump to urgency stand-by coordinates. And our people? If they're still alive, they'll have to wait. He's not gonna make it. The medkit, you're gonna have to get it. You can't send him alone. Questioning my orders? (GUNFIRE) I don't wanna command, I never did. Don't you dare die on me now. The Cylons are hacking our network! What is that thing?! I don't know, but it's bearing on Galactica! We gotta take it out! Hey. Er, hey. Quite a day, huh? Yeah. Erm, wow, I,... I haven't seen you in person since, er... Two weeks ago. I've really been thinking about you. That's nice. I gotta go. Er, hey, Dee. Dee, hey. Hey. Listen,... I know that I haven't really made an effort or it must seem like I really haven't made an effort to make this, whatever this is, a priority, but` But... But you were too busy helping the president spark a mutiny on my ship? Or but you wanted to wait until you were desperate and needed a shoulder to cry on before making your move? I think that was a little uncalled for. Yeah. I'm sorry. You're right. I gotta go. (BEEPING) (GASPS) What the hell...? Grab the flashlights. Copy that. Check the ventilator! We have DMA interrupt. Report status. Checking. Let's check subsystems! Let's get emergency power back on! Flyboy! Hot Dog! Whoo! Way to go, baby! (SCREAMS EXCITEDLY) Yes! Whoo! Whoo! Come here! (BOTH LAUGH) XO. Sitrep. Er, it's the virus, sir. I think it must have spawned copies of itself in some other computer systems. It's knocked out main power and auxiliary units. (WHIRRING) Er,... emergency power just kicked back in. Hey, Captain, nice work out there! I'm not sure what you guys are kissin' and huggin' about ` we let one through. What's going on with the lights? Not sure. We still have no idea if we can reach most of the ship. What the hell was that? Not sure, sir. Checking. The power's out, sir. I think it's shipwide. The sound-powered phone's the only thing working. OK, get the birds tied down, make the ordnance safe. I'll head up to combat, see what's going on. Yes, sir. Say again! Cylons reported in the starboard flight pod. We've been boarded. Keep moving. When I came up on his six, he rotated, so I had to bug out. It was plain, clean, simple. Did you see when I turned on that pair chasing me? Yeah. That was sweet! I rotated, pulled back, hit the brakes and bang! I turned back to get his wingman and then... Jesus! (ALL GASP) C'mon, move! C'mon! Let's get outta here! (ALL SCREAM) Go, go! (PANICKED SHOUTING) ('BATTLESTAR GALACTICA' THEME) IMS Subtitles TVNZ Captioning 2007 Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Able 2022 (PANICKED SHOUTING) (SHOUTS) Get up! Get up the ladder! (PANTS) You all right, Captain? I'm still breathing. I guess that's all right. Kat,... Hot Dog,... (PANTS) ..are you all right? Think so. Can I get back to you on that? Sitrep. We've been boarded, sir. We don't know how many, where they are or headed. Our ammo doesn't even make a dent, only the explosive rounds. How many rounds you got? That was our last one. (GASPS) Hot Dog,... Phew! ..take this to CIC. Give it to Colonel Tigh or the officer in charge. Yes, sir. Marines,... let's go toaster shopping. All clear, sir. Kat, on me. Yes, sir. Galactica to all ships, we have been boarded by a Cylon raiding party. Do not approach or attempt to dock with Galactica. Keep a safe distance until we have secured the ship. I say again, we have been boarded by a Cylon` (FEEDBACK SCREECHING) Agh! What the hell was that? The Cylons jammed the signal. Great(!) (GUNFIRE / SHOUTING) Are those gunshots? Yeah. We can't stay in here. Open the door. You know I can't do that, Madam President. Corporal Venner, I have no intention of being locked in this cell and shot like a rat in a cage. Open the door! Thank you! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Corporal Venner, don't shoot! Captain Adama! I have a fire team with me! C'mon in. Hey, watch the companionway. We're clear, sir. We've been boarded. The Cylons are trying to get to the magazines. How can we help? Stay alive and don't get shot. Leave the Cylons to us. OK, sickbay is the safest spot. It's designed to function as a disaster shelter in case the ship were lost. Bonnington, sidearm. Sir. OK, Billy, have you ever handled a weapon before? A pellet gun from my uncle when I was, like, ten. The principle's the same, real ones just make a bigger noise. Madam President... No, thank you. I can't. Corporal. Yes? Get her down to sickbay. Take Bonnington as escort. Just head away from the sound of gunfire. Right. What about you? We're heading towards the gunfire. OK, listen up. There's a small arms locker on causeway Bravo, two decks down. We're gonna get some rounds and head to the magazines. Twinam. Sir? Take point. Yes, sir. Good luck, Captain. May the lords protect you. You, too. Clear! OK, let's go! We should probably head out of the city, try to scout one of the outlying air bases, see if we can find a Raptor. It's not exactly what I expected. Thought I'd be stepping over decaying corpses in the streets. Yeah, we saw a few bodies here and there, not much, though. Sharon said that... The Cylon, Sharon, said they had troops picking up the bodies, transporting them to mass incinerators. Your girlfriend's from a lovely family ` good people, great values(!) Enough, all right?! Yeah, I was fooled by her! She fooled me! You happy now?! It's not about making me happy. Then, what?! What do you want?! You want me to say I'm a fracking idiot?! OK! I'm a fracking idiot! That make you feel better? I don't care any more. I've been here for months by myself, on the run, one step ahead of the Cylons! With the Cylons, I guess, actually. (SIGHS) She seemed so real,... like Sharon, you know? Same grin, same laugh,... all the little things that... I fell in love with a machine. It's stupid, so just... call me an idiot and let's be done with it. You're an idiot. All right? You're an idiot... but the Cylons have a way of making all of us look like idiots. Kara, what are you doing? Making a pit stop. I got something I gotta pick up. Hey, we gotta keep goin'. I got a place here, Helo. The Cylon virus spawned itself in our subsystems. I have teams cleaning each subsystem but it'll be at least an hour before we restore main power. Captain? What few marines we have are at their checkpoints. Where are the Cylons? They've split into two forces ` one moving forward... And one moving aft? Yes, sir. I've seen this before. These are their objectives. Secondary damage control and auxiliary fire control. They could override our decompression safeties and vent us all into space. And once we're all dead, they'll turn this ship's guns on the fleet and wipe it out once and for all. VOICEOVER: Staying connected matters when you're here... ..and over here, and all the way out here. When it comes to staying connected, trust the people who've been connecting New Zealanders for generations. (WIND HOWLS) Dr Baltar. God. How in God's name did you find us? What do you have there? Well, it's a child, obviously. A child? Can I hold it? Please. Is this the shape of things to come? That's my understanding. Only one thing for it, then. Commander? Please! Commander, where are you going?! Come back! Commander! Commander! Commander! Commander, please! (GASPS) NO! (GASPS) Ssh! Ssh! He killed our baby. Our baby? Adama,... I saw him drown the baby. Why would anyone want to drown a baby? Gaius, the answer is all around us. What happened here? Human sacrifice, not the fairy tales your scriptures would have you believe. I thought Kobol was supposed to be a paradise or something, some... place where gods live with the humans in harmony. For a time perhaps, then your true nature asserted itself ` your brutality, your depravity, your barbarism. So the scriptures are all a lie? It's all just a lie, just a cover-up for all this... savagery. Exactly. All of this has happened before, Gaius, and all of it will happen again. Adama. Mankind's true nature will always assert itself. So he will try and kill our baby. Only if you let him, Gaius. Only if you let him. (GASPS) Keep your eyes up ahead. C'mon. C'mon! OK, go! Go, go, go, go! OK. Is it clear?! Yeah, it's clear. The keypad's dead. Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm human! Jammer?! Yes, sir, it's me! It's me, Jammer! Don't shoot, please! Collishaw! Sir? Watch the hatch! Kat, Twinam, find those explosive rounds! Sir. What the hell happened here? I don't know, sir. I just came in here to hide. Cylons everywhere. All right, settle down. You're gonna be just fine. Apollo... You're kidding me? That's it? Didn't have much to begin with, sir. The other fire teams must have cleaned the locker out before us. Six rounds. There are five of us. OK, well, each of you guys take one, I'll take the reload. You're not counting me, are you, sir?! I don't know how to fight Centurions! I don't know the first thing about fighting Centurions! Come on. Let's go. Let's do it. Never have your house keys when you need 'em. These yours? You paint these, Kara? Yeah. Mmf! (PIANO MUSIC) (EXHALES) How the hell did you get power? Batteries. Kept turning off the power, something about not paying the bill(!) That is definitely not you. It's my dad. Well, we got one package of noodles. You don't believe in groceries? Agh. You know, I never really liked this place anyway. The air conditioning doesn't work in the summer, the heater doesn't work in the winter,... the rent's a crime. Ah-hah! After the attack, I never,... I never pined over any of my old crap. Never missed it. Stupid view of the... (CHUCKLES) ..parking lot, broken toilet in the bathroom. You know, everyone I know... is fighting to get back what they had. I'm fighting cos I don't know how to do anything else. How far to sickbay? 60m. She stopped breathing a while ago. Dee? Oh my God, it's Dee! Hey, are you all right? Yeah, I was going to the head. Oh, my God, you're bleeding! I went back to my rack. Are you shot? I forgot something. Hey. Dee, look at me. Dee, look at me. Dee. Try using her rank. Petty Officer Dualla, look at me. Hey. (GASPS) Hey. I'm glad to see you. I've been here in the dark a long time. It's probably a concussion. Corporal Venner, we need an alternate route to sickbay. Give me your eyes. Look at me. We don't wanna walk into gunfire. Now, clear your head. C'mon. We can go in the... all the way on the starboard side. It's a lot farther. Good. Starboard, let's go. Lieutenant Wallace's unit destroyed two Centurions at this junction, they trapped a third in the laundry. It's still shooting. At least we've contained the threat to auxiliary fire control. They're still heading for damage control. Lieutenant Gaeta... Three units had to halt their advance on deck 10 at frame 69. Cylons have cut through the hull ahead of that and the compartments are open to space. Smart move. Keeps us from chasing 'em. There is nothing between the last two Cylons and the decompression safeties. If you know any prayers, now's the time. (PANTS) What do you say we take five? How much further do you think? Tarn getting shot, it wasn't your fault, you know that, right? Chief? Talk to me, you mother-fracker! (CHUCKLES) Mother-fracker? (CHUCKLES) (COUGHS) Socinus better appreciate this. He's probably lying in the sun like some damn emperor. He's an idiot. (CHUCKLES) I hope he's OK. He'll be fine. He's a tough kid, we just... gotta get him the medkit. Yeah, we gotta go, Cally. (RUSTLING) (SHOUTS) Where the hell have you been?! I, er... Doc, where have you been?! I got lost in... Answer me! Never run off like that! This is a military operation, understand?! What I wanna hear from you is yes, sir! Yes, sir. Look, Crashdown, I,... I'm getting a really bad feeling about this place. You and me both. Flash! Flash! Thunder. Go, go. Where's Tarn? What happened? The Cylons. Were you followed? No. How's he doing? He's not gonna make it. What?! What do you mean? What are you talkin' about? We got the medkit, give him a shot! It's too late. What do you mean, it's too late?! (SOBS) I got you the medkit. What else do you want?! So, we go get the medicine you asked for for what?! For this! C'mon, you gotta do somethin'. You have to do something. I can't change that he's gonna die, Chief. It's gonna be slow and painful and we can spare him that. We can spare him that if we give him the morpha from my kit and the one that you brought back. What? No. LT. LT, c'mon! He's your man, Chief. Give it to me. Give it to me. Hey, buddy. It's Chief. How ya doin'? What's goin' on, Chief? Well, you know, just listenin' to the birds. (GROANS) I, er,... I got a little somethin' for the pain. Good news, buddy ` we got a rescue party here. The Raptor just landed, we're gonna put you on it and take you back to Galactica. OK? I'm goin' home? Yeah,... you're goin' home. (CLANGING) How you coming, Jammer? That should do it, Captain. Hey, nice job. Guys, check the lockers. There's gotta be more rounds in here. Yes, sir. Combat, 12, 8, 6, 4, 2, arms locker. Apollo here. Colonel, it's Apollo! He's on deck 12 abaft, frame 8-6, between the Cylons and aft damage control. Apollo, XO. Sitrep. We haven't seen anything but bodies. Clear. OK, from what I can remember, the sickbay is about 20m through that hatch. How are you feeling? Like I'm walking underwater. Any marines with you? Privates, er, Collishaw, Twinam. Take your men and proceed to aft damage control. Is that yours? Oh, er,... yeah. I guess it is now. OK, if you're gonna keep it in your trousers like that, you might wanna turn the safety on. Right. Ugh! Is it stuck? Oh, frack! The hatch won't open. The other side's been depressurised. All right, Corporal Venner, this is your ship, I'm just a tourist. Find us another way to sickbay. OK. Er... OK, we have to head toward aft damage control. Aft damage control. "Aft damage control?" That's what they're after. You get to aft damage control and get there right fracking now. Get there before the Cylons or we lose the ship. Is that clear? Aft damage control RFN. On our way. Apollo out. OK, hold on. OK, we made it. Twinam, Jammer, take this side! Kat, Collishaw, that side! We're gonna need some cover! All right, let's move. Let's get this stuff out! Yes, sir! Wait. (GUNFIRE) That's nice. Everybody, get down. Stay down. Hold your fire till I give the signal. You only have one round, so it's gotta be a head shot. You understand? Understood?! (ALL) Yes, sir! Kat, kill the flashlight! (GUNFIRE) Take cover. Take cover. Let's go, let's go, let's go! (PANTS) Steady up, there, Jammer. Yes, sir. I'm not really cut out for this, sir. Me, neither. Sometimes you gotta roll a hard six. What does that mean, sir? Er,... I don't know, it's something my dad says. Just... don't shoot till I tell you to. All right. OK, we're in good shape. They're coming but we're in good shape. (CLANGING) Head shot. Reload. Head shot. Head shot. Reload. Head shot. Reload. Head shot. OK, they're coming. Everybody, down! (You wanna shoot that, you gotta take the safety off.) (GASPS) (GUNSHOT) Dammit! (SCREAMS) Fire! Fire! (PANTS) Hey,... are you all right? Yes, I'm fine. We did it! We got 'em all! They don't look so big now, do they?! They look big enough. Oh God. I'll take that. Yeah. Have you been shot? Er,... no, I don't think so. Hah! No? No, I'm fine. Oh. The gods MUST be watching over you. Tired of walking? (LAUGHS) Thanks. (SIGHS) Hey. How do you feel? Better. I thought you said... Forget what I said and listen to what I'm saying. You listening? Mm-hm. I'm sorry, I, er,... (LAUGHS) I didn't hear that. Could you, er,... could you do that one more time? Let me be clear. Get the curtain. Doc Cottle's on his way. He'll be here any minute. He's gonna be all right, you know that? Yeah. Yeah, I know that. Colonel, I assume there's still a cell out there waiting for me. That's right. Corporal Venner, I'm ready. I can't believe you sided with that woman against the old man. I wouldn't do that if you put a gun to my head and you did. As far as I'm concerned, you're not fit to wear a uniform. Mm. You're right about that part ` I am not fit to wear the uniform... and maybe I never was. Then again, neither are you. But this isn't my ship, and it sure as hell isn't yours. It's his. And when he wakes up, he'll decide what to do with the both of us. (SIGHS) Thank the gods I didn't have kids.
