1
00:00:01,293 --> 00:00:03,837
- We are receiving a signal.
- What is it?

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:05,756
'..over.'
'Roger.'

3
00:00:05,797 --> 00:00:09,510
'She's an orbiting killer
capable of destroying all our ships.'

4
00:00:09,551 --> 00:00:11,929
- Who picked you for this mission?
- I did.

5
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:15,682
- You just don't understand, do you?
- Yes, I do understand!

6
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:18,435
We haven't tangled with a base star
since we fled.

7
00:00:18,477 --> 00:00:22,481
- Can we just drop this?
- No! You have the corner on loneliness?

8
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,653
Launch all vipers.

9
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:19,056
Come on, let's go!

10
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,183
Hey, would...would you hurry up?

11
00:02:22,226 --> 00:02:25,729
Apollo, is this your idea of a fun evening?

12
00:02:25,771 --> 00:02:28,148
You gotta speak up! I can't hear you!

13
00:02:29,191 --> 00:02:31,276
Come on.

14
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:51,380
Up you go.

15
00:02:52,548 --> 00:02:54,633
Starbuck.

16
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:08,647
Where in heaven's name are we?

17
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,233
As high as you can get on the Galactica.

18
00:03:11,275 --> 00:03:13,861
We're directly over the main thrusters.

19
00:03:19,283 --> 00:03:21,785
It's a great spot to get away and think.

20
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:26,290
A cosy little place like this
could be used for more than thinking.

21
00:03:26,331 --> 00:03:28,584
Starbuck.

22
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:31,420
- Are you ready?
- For what?

23
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:33,172
Watch.

24
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:53,692
- This is incredible!
- It's frightening.

25
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:56,236
Don't worry, we're perfectly safe.

26
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:58,906
The bubble's constructed of tylinium.

27
00:03:58,947 --> 00:04:01,783
It's a lot different from a viper cockpit.

28
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:06,246
- It's so open.
- It's like riding in the hand of God.

29
00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:09,917
At least that's the way I like to think of it.

30
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:12,044
You like it, Sheba?

31
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:14,213
Oh, Apollo,

32
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:16,340
I love it!

33
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,343
Get up here and try it. Come on.

34
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:34,733
Apollo, what was this bubble used for?

35
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,860
It's a celestial chamber.

36
00:04:36,902 --> 00:04:39,404
The only one left on the Galactica.

37
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:42,199
When she was launched
over 500 yahren ago,

38
00:04:42,241 --> 00:04:44,409
there were a number of these domes.

39
00:04:45,577 --> 00:04:49,873
Navigators used to come up here
to take star sightings,

40
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:53,085
to double-check the navigation computer.

41
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:58,006
I doubt anyone's been here except us
in a hundred yahren or more.

42
00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:02,386
- All these instruments seem to work.
- I repaired the ones that didn't.

43
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:05,889
I like shooting the stars
the way my ancestors did.

44
00:05:05,931 --> 00:05:09,226
I get the feeling you'd have loved
living in the past,

45
00:05:09,268 --> 00:05:13,939
knocking around some planetary system
in an old sub-light rocket.

46
00:05:13,981 --> 00:05:17,484
It may have been slow
but it was more of a challenge.

47
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:20,821
Living back then
might've been more fun.

48
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:23,574
What's this set for?

49
00:05:23,615 --> 00:05:25,909
Long-range communications.

50
00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:28,203
Only you won't get anything on it.

51
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:31,582
Those frequencies are outdated.
We don't use them now.

52
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:34,126
- Somebody does.
- What?

53
00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:38,755
It's very weak but we are receiving a signal.

54
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,553
- What is it?
- I can't tell.

55
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:49,391
I'm trying to get a directional fix.

56
00:05:49,433 --> 00:05:51,518
We're losing it.

57
00:05:56,607 --> 00:05:59,359
It's gone.

58
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:01,486
Any idea where it came from?

59
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:03,614
Well...

60
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:07,868
it looked like a ship
but it wasn't like any one I've ever seen.

61
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:09,995
I have.

62
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:12,122
On our history scans.

63
00:06:13,957 --> 00:06:17,377
It looked like something
the Colonies used to fly...

64
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:19,671
a couple of thousand yahrens ago.

65
00:06:36,688 --> 00:06:39,191
- Boomer.
- Mm?

66
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:41,485
- Boomer, wake up.
- Mm.

67
00:06:48,784 --> 00:06:50,869
Oh.

68
00:06:53,205 --> 00:06:55,290
Apollo.

69
00:06:56,792 --> 00:07:00,295
I'd just met this beautiful girl
and I was about to...

70
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,553
What's going on?

71
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:11,056
- Boomer, we need your help.
- I need sleep.

72
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:14,852
You're a whizz
at long-range communications.

73
00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:17,354
Dr Wilker's better.

74
00:07:17,396 --> 00:07:21,817
- But Dr Wilker's on the electronics ship.
- Good for him.

75
00:07:21,859 --> 00:07:25,362
We picked up a transmission
on a gamma frequency.

76
00:07:25,404 --> 00:07:28,198
Good for you.

77
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:34,872
- On a what?
- A gamma frequency.

78
00:07:34,913 --> 00:07:37,040
- Gamma?!
- Shh.

79
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:39,168
Sh!

80
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,045
That frequency's ancient.

81
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:46,008
- Interesting, huh?
- Might be.

82
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:51,221
- Did you record it?
- Right here.

83
00:07:51,263 --> 00:07:53,390
Why didn't you say so?

84
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:02,524
Erm, Boomer, are you going
to go to the lab looking like that?

85
00:08:02,566 --> 00:08:04,651
Huh?

86
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:17,080
No.

87
00:08:24,963 --> 00:08:27,049
It's some sort of spacecraft.

88
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:30,219
Can you enhance the signal?

89
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:32,763
Maybe Wilker can with the computer.

90
00:08:32,804 --> 00:08:35,641
The best I can do is clear up the audio.

91
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:50,155
'..go.'

92
00:08:55,786 --> 00:08:58,622
- 'Go...'
- 'Eagle...'

93
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:10,759
'..ignition, 10%.'

94
00:09:10,801 --> 00:09:13,220
- '..on time.'
- 'Roger.'

95
00:09:18,267 --> 00:09:20,936
'Go for LOI...'

96
00:09:20,978 --> 00:09:23,480
'Roger.'

97
00:09:23,522 --> 00:09:25,607
Afraid that's it.

98
00:09:25,649 --> 00:09:27,943
Do you know where it's coming from?

99
00:09:27,985 --> 00:09:33,031
It could be a harmonic signal,
a doubling of the original frequency.

100
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:37,244
It's one of the reasons we don't use
those old frequencies any more.

101
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:41,707
If it is a harmonic,
its origins could be relatively close.

102
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:44,126
And if it's not?

103
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:47,504
If that's a primary frequency,

104
00:09:47,546 --> 00:09:50,215
it's come a long way to be that weak.

105
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:52,593
It's probably intergalactic.

106
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:54,720
Intergalactic?

107
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:58,265
Then we've picked up something
that could've been transmitted

108
00:09:58,307 --> 00:10:00,392
a hundred yahrens ago.

109
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:02,227
Or a thousand

110
00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:04,688
or 10,000.

111
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:10,485
There's no telling how long
that signal's been travelling.

112
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:15,115
You mean we could be looking
at something from the past?

113
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,036
Quite possibly.

114
00:10:23,373 --> 00:10:25,918
I wonder whose?

115
00:10:27,836 --> 00:10:31,256
I could only guess
but let's check out Boomer's theory

116
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:34,301
that it's a harmonic signal
from something close by.

117
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:37,804
- Did you get a position fix?
- As near as we can compute,

118
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:41,600
it came in through this quadrant,
something like this.

119
00:10:43,936 --> 00:10:46,855
Colonel Tigh, concentrated scan, please.

120
00:10:47,523 --> 00:10:49,274
Concentrated scan.

121
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:51,735
Star quadrant Epsilon 7...

122
00:10:51,777 --> 00:10:54,321
- mark four.
- Yes, sir.

123
00:10:55,239 --> 00:10:59,284
I'd forgotten all about
that celestial dome topside.

124
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:02,037
What were you four doing up there?

125
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:08,752
Just taking in the view, Commander.

126
00:11:08,794 --> 00:11:10,838
Oh.

127
00:11:14,258 --> 00:11:17,511
Sir, the only area of interest in that quadrant

128
00:11:17,553 --> 00:11:20,806
is a solar system
on the edge of our scanners.

129
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:24,935
Right on the line of transmission.
It may be a harmonic signal.

130
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:29,273
- Maybe.
- Any life forms?

131
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:33,068
Too far for that data, sir.
We're barely picking up planets.

132
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:35,946
Apollo, take a patrol into that quadrant.

133
00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:39,658
- See if you can find the source.
- Yes, sir.

134
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:45,205
Boomer, work on that recording
until Dr Wilker returns.

135
00:11:45,247 --> 00:11:47,916
Yes, sir.

136
00:11:47,958 --> 00:11:50,085
What were you doing in that dome?

137
00:11:50,127 --> 00:11:52,212
Colonel!

138
00:11:59,678 --> 00:12:02,931
Five planets, fairly widespread orbits.

139
00:12:04,975 --> 00:12:08,395
I got 'em. I'm not scanning any life forms.

140
00:12:08,437 --> 00:12:11,523
Neither am I but we're still a long way off.

141
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:14,568
Let's split up and take a look
at the first three.

142
00:12:24,286 --> 00:12:25,954
The first planet's a giant.

143
00:12:25,996 --> 00:12:28,582
80�/% compressed hydrogen,

144
00:12:28,624 --> 00:12:31,001
12�/% helium, no life forms.

145
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,505
But it sure is pretty.

146
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:37,549
So's number two. Beautiful but deadly.

147
00:12:37,591 --> 00:12:42,471
The atmosphere is mostly
compressed carbon dioxide. No life forms.

148
00:12:42,513 --> 00:12:45,390
Leave it to me to get the ugly one.

149
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:47,518
No atmosphere, just barren rock.

150
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,145
No life could possib...

151
00:12:50,187 --> 00:12:52,356
Wait!
What is it?

152
00:12:52,397 --> 00:12:54,483
I'm picking up something.

153
00:12:54,525 --> 00:12:56,735
Just rising on the back side of the planet.

154
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:01,240
- Oh, no. No!
- Starbuck?

155
00:13:01,323 --> 00:13:03,659
Get out of here, it's a Cylon base star!

156
00:13:14,461 --> 00:13:17,297
- I thought we'd lost them for good.
- We all did.

157
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:20,509
- You weren't detected?
- I left before they reached orbit.

158
00:13:20,551 --> 00:13:24,680
- Sheba and I were blocked by the planets.
- Thank God for that.

159
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:27,933
Stay on it, Omega.

160
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:35,983
We're too far out to pick up the base star
on our scanners

161
00:13:36,024 --> 00:13:39,152
but nothing has left that system
except our patrol.

162
00:13:39,194 --> 00:13:41,822
Good, then they can't scan us either.

163
00:13:41,864 --> 00:13:44,700
They picked a great spot to lay a trap, sir.

164
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:47,619
That system is on the very rim of the galaxy.

165
00:13:47,661 --> 00:13:49,746
We'll have to backtrack a long way

166
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:52,166
to get around her without being detected.

167
00:13:52,207 --> 00:13:56,628
They're aware of that.
That's why they're sitting where they are.

168
00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:58,755
Apollo.

169
00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:02,843
That transmission you picked up...
they're enticing us in.

170
00:14:02,885 --> 00:14:05,179
You think it came from that base star?

171
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:07,306
I think that most likely.

172
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:12,060
It's an elaborate lure.
Precisely what I'd expect from the Cylons.

173
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:16,690
- I'm not so sure.
- What are we going to do?

174
00:14:17,608 --> 00:14:20,402
There's nothing we can do but turn back.

175
00:14:20,444 --> 00:14:22,654
There must be another way.

176
00:14:23,447 --> 00:14:25,741
Yes, there is.

177
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:29,661
We can attack.

178
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:33,207
Adama,

179
00:14:33,248 --> 00:14:36,460
we haven't tangled with a base star
since we fled.

180
00:14:36,502 --> 00:14:38,587
My father did.

181
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:40,422
Yes, he did.

182
00:14:40,464 --> 00:14:42,799
And he hasn't been heard from since.

183
00:14:42,841 --> 00:14:45,093
But Cain attacked two base stars.

184
00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:47,054
We'd be taking on only one.

185
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:53,018
Obviously, they've spread out through
all the star systems in order to find us.

186
00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:56,438
And this base star may be
the only one in this galaxy.

187
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,859
Tigh, do you realise this is
the first time since we fled the Colonies

188
00:15:00,901 --> 00:15:03,320
that we have the advantage?

189
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,242
But even if we didn't have the advantage,

190
00:15:08,283 --> 00:15:10,369
I'm tired of running.

191
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:14,248
Adama...so am I.

192
00:15:14,289 --> 00:15:17,793
Then let's take her on.

193
00:15:55,247 --> 00:15:59,209
- Have we achieved orbit?
- Insertion 10 centons ago.

194
00:16:00,127 --> 00:16:05,632
- Long-range scan?
- Fully operational, nothing definite to report.

195
00:16:05,674 --> 00:16:10,387
- Definite?
- A momentary blip prior to achieving orbit.

196
00:16:10,429 --> 00:16:13,599
Our scanners were not fully operational.

197
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,809
- Nothing since?
- No.

198
00:16:17,311 --> 00:16:22,107
Launch a fighter patrol
to circumnavigate this planetary system,

199
00:16:22,149 --> 00:16:24,693
just to be safe.

200
00:16:24,735 --> 00:16:27,821
By your command.
Duty patrol to the launch bay.

201
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,208
She has 300 fighters,

202
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:41,919
carries two long-range megapulsars...

203
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,588
here and here...

204
00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:47,132
and over a hundred laser turrets.

205
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:52,471
She's an orbiting killer
capable of destroying all our ships,

206
00:16:52,513 --> 00:16:54,598
including the Galactica.

207
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,893
That's what I like about the Colonel -
his optimism.

208
00:16:57,935 --> 00:17:02,898
We do have one advantage -
the element of surprise.

209
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:05,567
And I intend to make the most of it.

210
00:17:05,609 --> 00:17:10,447
All vipers will be launched before
the Galactica is within their scanning range.

211
00:17:10,489 --> 00:17:13,492
Your job is to draw out their fighters.

212
00:17:14,785 --> 00:17:18,413
You'll be outnumbered two to one
but you're used to that.

213
00:17:19,623 --> 00:17:23,961
- Better odds than we had on Caprica.
- We lost at Caprica.

214
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:27,005
I intend to bring the Galactica in at an arc,

215
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:30,551
come in past the sun
from the opposite direction.

216
00:17:30,592 --> 00:17:35,013
If we're lucky, the base star
will be so occupied watching you

217
00:17:35,055 --> 00:17:37,808
that we'll be on her
before she's aware of us

218
00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:40,269
and we'll get in the first strike.

219
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:44,231
After that, it's a toe-to-toe slugging match.

220
00:17:44,273 --> 00:17:47,025
Well, that's it. Thank you.

221
00:17:47,067 --> 00:17:49,903
And good luck. Colonel.

222
00:17:49,945 --> 00:17:53,156
Squadron assembly at 1750, launch 1800.

223
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:58,078
The Officers' Club will be open
to all warriors, regardless of rank,

224
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:02,416
for one centare and one drink -
on the Commander.

225
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:04,793
Commencing now.

226
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:07,212
If the Commander's buying, I'm drinking.

227
00:18:07,254 --> 00:18:09,673
If anybody's buying you're drinking.

228
00:18:10,883 --> 00:18:12,968
Apollo, are you coming?

229
00:18:13,010 --> 00:18:15,095
In a bit.

230
00:18:21,602 --> 00:18:25,439
I should know better than to ask
but what is it?

231
00:18:26,481 --> 00:18:29,818
- I was just thinking.
- That's what I was afraid of.

232
00:18:30,861 --> 00:18:35,073
If we could find some way to knock out
her control centre scanners,

233
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:38,368
the Galactica would get in the first strike.

234
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:42,414
- Terrific idea. You wanna tell me how?
- I don't know...

235
00:18:42,456 --> 00:18:44,541
Right. Let's go get a drink.

236
00:18:44,583 --> 00:18:47,211
..but it would have to be from the inside.

237
00:18:47,961 --> 00:18:50,047
Oh, sure.

238
00:18:50,088 --> 00:18:54,176
All you have to do is
fly through a hundred fighters,

239
00:18:54,218 --> 00:18:56,887
land on the base star,
find her control centre,

240
00:18:56,929 --> 00:18:59,806
blow it up and take off again.

241
00:18:59,848 --> 00:19:01,475
Simple.

242
00:19:01,517 --> 00:19:05,395
- You're right.
- Of course I'm right. Apollo.

243
00:19:05,437 --> 00:19:09,775
No. No, we could do it
if we used Baltar's Cylon fighter.

244
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:11,652
But...

245
00:19:13,028 --> 00:19:15,197
No.

246
00:19:15,239 --> 00:19:18,867
It guarantees the Galactica
getting in the first strike.

247
00:19:18,909 --> 00:19:22,955
- You know that's the key to victory.
- Of course I do.

248
00:19:22,996 --> 00:19:25,707
But suppose you did get inside, then what?

249
00:19:25,749 --> 00:19:29,002
What's their security like in the landing bay?

250
00:19:29,044 --> 00:19:32,881
How many Centurions are there
between you and the control centre?

251
00:19:33,882 --> 00:19:36,552
Where is the control centre?

252
00:19:36,593 --> 00:19:38,679
Starbuck, erm...

253
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,015
When Baltar captured you,
you saw his base star. He knows.

254
00:19:42,057 --> 00:19:44,852
They didn't exactly give me the grand tour.

255
00:19:46,895 --> 00:19:50,399
Er, I do know the central core
leads to all decks

256
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,193
but I have no idea where Control Centre is.

257
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:55,863
Make an educated guess.

258
00:19:55,904 --> 00:19:57,990
You know...

259
00:19:58,824 --> 00:20:01,326
I think your plan will work.

260
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:03,453
It will?

261
00:20:06,248 --> 00:20:08,417
Bridge, Commander Adama.

262
00:20:09,459 --> 00:20:12,421
Launch a shuttle immediately
to the prison barge,

263
00:20:12,462 --> 00:20:15,591
with orders to bring Baltar
back to my quarters.

264
00:20:15,632 --> 00:20:17,301
Baltar?

265
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:19,636
You really think he'll help us?

266
00:20:20,929 --> 00:20:23,056
He just may.

267
00:20:29,104 --> 00:20:34,443
Our patrol has passed the outer planets
and found nothing.

268
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:39,198
Order them to continue
into the galaxy as long as fuel permits.

269
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:56,465
Enter.

270
00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:04,640
Remove his shackles and wait outside.

271
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:18,529
Toys, Adama?

272
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:25,536
Would you like a drink?

273
00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:30,541
What do you want?

274
00:21:32,668 --> 00:21:35,045
Information.

275
00:21:38,882 --> 00:21:40,968
They've found you!

276
00:21:41,885 --> 00:21:43,971
We've found them.

277
00:21:47,975 --> 00:21:50,060
It's the same thing.

278
00:21:51,645 --> 00:21:53,730
We're going to destroy them.

279
00:21:55,524 --> 00:21:58,527
Destroy them? A base star? Not likely.

280
00:21:59,653 --> 00:22:02,030
With your help.

281
00:22:02,072 --> 00:22:04,283
Why would I possibly help you?

282
00:22:06,618 --> 00:22:08,745
To regain your freedom.

283
00:22:11,165 --> 00:22:13,292
You're taunting me.

284
00:22:14,543 --> 00:22:17,212
I'm offering you freedom

285
00:22:17,254 --> 00:22:19,506
in exchange for information.

286
00:22:20,424 --> 00:22:22,509
And how do you define freedom?

287
00:22:25,262 --> 00:22:29,266
We've been passing
a number of habitable planets.

288
00:22:29,308 --> 00:22:31,643
I intend to set you on one...

289
00:22:32,686 --> 00:22:35,355
with adequate provisions and shelter.

290
00:22:37,608 --> 00:22:39,943
Marooned.

291
00:22:40,569 --> 00:22:42,738
It's better than the prison barge.

292
00:22:46,909 --> 00:22:48,368
Communications?

293
00:22:49,786 --> 00:22:52,539
No.

294
00:22:52,581 --> 00:22:56,627
Even a marooned man must have
some hope of eventual rescue.

295
00:22:58,003 --> 00:23:00,631
Very well.

296
00:23:00,672 --> 00:23:03,383
But only short-range communication.

297
00:23:06,053 --> 00:23:08,347
And when am I to be set free?

298
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:10,933
After the base star has been destroyed.

299
00:23:12,726 --> 00:23:14,811
What if they destroy you

300
00:23:14,853 --> 00:23:16,939
and me along with you?

301
00:23:20,234 --> 00:23:23,278
That's the risk you'll have to take.

302
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,158
Do we have an agreement?

303
00:23:51,682 --> 00:23:54,768
When you get done and fly out of there,

304
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:58,188
we don't want to confuse you
with the other Cylon fighters

305
00:23:58,230 --> 00:24:00,482
- so I rigged this.
- What is it?

306
00:24:00,524 --> 00:24:04,111
It's an ID transmitter
set to our attack frequency.

307
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:06,238
If one of us comes up on your tail,

308
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,241
we get a flashing red dot
on our attack scanner.

309
00:24:09,283 --> 00:24:13,495
So even though we may think about it,
we won't blow you out of the sky.

310
00:24:13,537 --> 00:24:15,664
- You sure it'll work?
- It'll work.

311
00:24:15,706 --> 00:24:17,791
Thanks, Boomer.

312
00:24:18,542 --> 00:24:21,920
Did Dr Wilker get a chance
to enhance that transmission?

313
00:24:21,962 --> 00:24:24,965
- Not yet.
- You think it wasn't from the base star?

314
00:24:25,007 --> 00:24:28,552
I don't know. I got a funny feeling it wasn't.

315
00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:34,391
Starbuck, could I have
a word with you? Please?

316
00:24:34,433 --> 00:24:38,770
It's getting a little crowded in here.
I'll go and find Wilker.

317
00:24:40,606 --> 00:24:42,774
- Yeah, Cass?
- Alone.

318
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:48,113
Excuse me for a centon.

319
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:01,460
It takes three Cylons to fly this fighter.

320
00:25:02,503 --> 00:25:06,715
Uh-uh. I need you and Boomer
to lead the squadrons.

321
00:25:06,757 --> 00:25:10,886
Besides, the third Cylon
just sits right there and gives orders.

322
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,389
Very well, then.

323
00:25:14,431 --> 00:25:18,644
- Who picked you for this mission?
- I did.

324
00:25:20,062 --> 00:25:23,732
You really want
to get yourself killed, don't you?

325
00:25:26,693 --> 00:25:28,779
What's that supposed to mean?

326
00:25:29,947 --> 00:25:34,743
Ever since you lost Serina,
you've taken every high-risk mission.

327
00:25:34,785 --> 00:25:36,912
Serina has nothing to do with it.

328
00:25:36,954 --> 00:25:40,666
She was a very lovely woman, Apollo...

329
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:42,793
but she's dead.

330
00:25:42,835 --> 00:25:47,256
- Can we just drop this?
- No! You have the corner on loneliness?

331
00:25:52,469 --> 00:25:54,847
I'm sorry.

332
00:25:56,682 --> 00:25:58,767
It's all right.

333
00:26:00,269 --> 00:26:04,147
I guess we've been at each other's throats
ever since we met.

334
00:26:06,233 --> 00:26:08,402
Yeah, I guess we have.

335
00:26:08,443 --> 00:26:10,863
Except for lately.

336
00:26:11,989 --> 00:26:15,993
You've included me
in your tight little circle of friends

337
00:26:16,034 --> 00:26:18,162
and I appreciate that.

338
00:26:20,038 --> 00:26:22,124
Yeah, well...

339
00:26:22,166 --> 00:26:24,877
I realised I'd been a little hard on you.

340
00:26:27,045 --> 00:26:29,756
Did you ever think about the fact that...

341
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:34,428
maybe two people
who snap at each other for no reason

342
00:26:34,469 --> 00:26:37,723
are doing it to avoid their real feelings?

343
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:48,150
I've thought about it quite a bit.

344
00:26:59,077 --> 00:27:01,163
Be careful.

345
00:27:16,094 --> 00:27:18,931
So why does it always have to be you?

346
00:27:18,972 --> 00:27:21,058
Apollo's going.

347
00:27:21,099 --> 00:27:24,019
I'm not in love with Apollo!

348
00:27:24,061 --> 00:27:26,146
Cass,

349
00:27:26,188 --> 00:27:28,774
you know me, I'll make it.

350
00:27:28,815 --> 00:27:33,904
Knowing you, you'll find
some beautiful female prisoner to rescue!

351
00:27:34,821 --> 00:27:36,907
That's crazy.

352
00:27:39,701 --> 00:27:41,829
Starbuck.

353
00:27:41,870 --> 00:27:44,206
Good luck, hotshot.

354
00:27:45,874 --> 00:27:48,001
Has everyone gone crazy?

355
00:27:48,043 --> 00:27:53,215
- You just don't understand, do you?
- Yes, I do understand!

356
00:27:53,257 --> 00:27:57,761
I just don't see the sense
of dwelling on what might go wrong.

357
00:28:01,098 --> 00:28:03,308
It's a lousy way to live.

358
00:28:27,583 --> 00:28:30,502
I'll be back. I promise.

359
00:28:34,006 --> 00:28:36,091
If you're not...

360
00:28:37,342 --> 00:28:39,428
I'm gonna kill you.

361
00:28:58,113 --> 00:29:01,617
- Are your timers set?
- I have one centon delay.

362
00:29:01,658 --> 00:29:04,661
Whatever you do, don't lose that transmitter.

363
00:29:04,703 --> 00:29:07,915
It's the only way
we can tell you from the Cylons.

364
00:29:07,956 --> 00:29:11,001
If we do, we'll just waggle our wings.

365
00:29:11,043 --> 00:29:13,128
You would.

366
00:29:13,170 --> 00:29:15,297
Hey.

367
00:29:15,339 --> 00:29:17,674
I've never seen you fuss so much.

368
00:29:19,092 --> 00:29:22,346
Well, I guess I would
feel better if I were going.

369
00:29:22,387 --> 00:29:24,640
We need you to lead the squadron.

370
00:29:24,681 --> 00:29:27,267
It doesn't change the way I feel.

371
00:29:42,115 --> 00:29:44,201
Good luck.

372
00:29:46,745 --> 00:29:50,415
Captain, Lieutenant, I'm at your disposal.

373
00:29:52,042 --> 00:29:55,254
What will happen
when we land without clearance?

374
00:29:55,295 --> 00:29:59,716
Probably nothing. They'll assume
you had a communications breakdown.

375
00:29:59,758 --> 00:30:04,888
If they don't have any ships in the air,
a Centurion will check who you are.

376
00:30:04,930 --> 00:30:10,310
I know where to enter the central core
but where's the control centre?

377
00:30:10,352 --> 00:30:12,271
At the bottom of the core.

378
00:30:12,312 --> 00:30:15,858
There's always a Centurion on guard
at the entry hatch.

379
00:30:15,899 --> 00:30:21,155
Eliminate him and you'll be in the computer
banks. You won't need the control room.

380
00:30:21,196 --> 00:30:24,199
Blowing up those computers
will blind the base star.

381
00:30:24,241 --> 00:30:27,870
How much resistance
can we expect in the core area?

382
00:30:27,911 --> 00:30:31,707
That depends on how many
Centurions are passing through it.

383
00:30:31,748 --> 00:30:34,710
There's only one guard, as I said.

384
00:30:36,086 --> 00:30:38,255
Well, that's it.

385
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,385
Starbuck.

386
00:30:43,427 --> 00:30:45,888
Apollo.

387
00:30:45,929 --> 00:30:48,015
See you soon.

388
00:30:49,683 --> 00:30:51,768
Good luck.

389
00:30:56,148 --> 00:30:58,775
Well, if they don't succeed, I die too.

390
00:31:09,244 --> 00:31:11,705
You know how to fly this thing?

391
00:31:11,747 --> 00:31:13,874
I thought you did.

392
00:31:24,134 --> 00:31:26,178
Ready.

393
00:31:26,220 --> 00:31:27,846
Launch.

394
00:31:36,522 --> 00:31:39,358
They're gone.

395
00:31:39,399 --> 00:31:41,485
So soon.

396
00:31:43,862 --> 00:31:47,783
Why did I ever
have to fall in love with a warrior?

397
00:31:49,952 --> 00:31:52,037
I don't know.

398
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:58,502
They're penetrating
the solar system now, sir.

399
00:32:06,009 --> 00:32:07,553
Anything?

400
00:32:07,594 --> 00:32:10,764
I'm having trouble with this scanner,
all I get is blips.

401
00:32:10,806 --> 00:32:12,891
Maybe I need a Cylon co-pilot.

402
00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:16,019
- Starbuck!
- Holy frack! Apollo!

403
00:32:17,062 --> 00:32:19,314
They're all around us.

404
00:32:34,246 --> 00:32:37,833
- You think they're on to us?
- I don't think so.

405
00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:41,336
We must have flown
into the middle of a patrol.

406
00:32:41,378 --> 00:32:44,256
I hope they think
we're a stray joining back up.

407
00:32:45,132 --> 00:32:47,217
Apollo.

408
00:32:53,015 --> 00:32:55,601
We'll soon know if they're on to us or not.

409
00:33:01,815 --> 00:33:06,570
The patrol has landed.
No activity in the system.

410
00:33:18,749 --> 00:33:20,834
1750, Commander.

411
00:33:20,876 --> 00:33:22,961
Now.

412
00:33:23,879 --> 00:33:25,964
Pilots to launch bay.

413
00:33:27,382 --> 00:33:30,385
'Pilots, man your vipers!'

414
00:33:30,427 --> 00:33:31,803
Let's go!

415
00:33:59,248 --> 00:34:02,918
Commander, all squadrons ready to launch.

416
00:34:04,711 --> 00:34:06,797
Launch all vipers.

417
00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:09,383
'Squadrons, you are cleared to launch.'

418
00:34:33,657 --> 00:34:36,827
Commander, all squadrons launched.

419
00:34:36,869 --> 00:34:39,329
Bring her around to mark Delta 5.

420
00:34:40,247 --> 00:34:43,792
- Full scan.
- Mark Delta 5.

421
00:34:43,834 --> 00:34:45,919
Executing.

422
00:35:02,269 --> 00:35:04,688
That's the last of them.

423
00:35:04,730 --> 00:35:07,399
Right.

424
00:35:08,775 --> 00:35:10,861
- Let's go.
- OK.

425
00:35:30,130 --> 00:35:32,424
That's the hatch to the central core.

426
00:35:32,466 --> 00:35:34,551
Let's go.

427
00:36:00,577 --> 00:36:02,871
- If he looks up...
- Yeah.

428
00:36:27,145 --> 00:36:29,565
Starbuck!

429
00:37:07,936 --> 00:37:10,105
Set the charges, I'll cover you.

430
00:37:25,078 --> 00:37:27,372
There's nothing but planets so far.

431
00:37:28,081 --> 00:37:31,043
The base star was behind the third planet.

432
00:37:32,044 --> 00:37:36,465
Right. We hold this heading.
Pull those Cylon fighters to us.

433
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,888
Vipers bearing Omega 7.

434
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:46,517
- Vipers?
- Confirmed. Two squadrons.

435
00:37:46,558 --> 00:37:51,146
Launch all fighters to intercept.
Scan for the Galactica.

436
00:37:51,188 --> 00:37:52,481
By your command.

437
00:37:57,861 --> 00:38:00,823
- They must've spotted our vipers.
- Just one more!

438
00:38:03,659 --> 00:38:05,828
Let's go!

439
00:38:21,593 --> 00:38:23,554
The transmitter!

440
00:38:24,847 --> 00:38:27,432
Let it go!

441
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,070
Without that,
the squadron can't tell us from the Cylons!

442
00:38:40,112 --> 00:38:44,825
Forget it! We don't need that
felgercarb. We'll think of something!

443
00:38:44,867 --> 00:38:47,494
The Galactica
should be attacking any micron.

444
00:38:47,536 --> 00:38:49,621
Then what are we waiting for?

445
00:38:54,001 --> 00:38:56,378
Here they come!

446
00:38:57,504 --> 00:38:59,423
Break!

447
00:40:25,926 --> 00:40:29,763
Commander, long-range scan indicates
our squadrons are engaged.

448
00:40:29,805 --> 00:40:31,890
- Give it to me here.
- Yes, sir.

449
00:40:31,932 --> 00:40:35,143
- They're outnumbered.
- They can hold their own.

450
00:40:35,185 --> 00:40:38,605
All we need now is to...
There! There she is, Tigh!

451
00:40:38,647 --> 00:40:40,732
- The base star?
- Yes!

452
00:40:40,774 --> 00:40:44,695
Let's pray Apollo and Starbuck
have knocked out her scanners.

453
00:40:44,736 --> 00:40:46,905
- Battle stations!
- Yes, sir.

454
00:40:46,947 --> 00:40:50,534
Battle stations! Seal all compartments!

455
00:41:02,713 --> 00:41:05,215
All units assume...

456
00:41:08,969 --> 00:41:11,263
I don't think she's scanned us, sir.

457
00:41:11,889 --> 00:41:14,016
We might just have done it, Tigh.

458
00:41:16,226 --> 00:41:17,853
Stand by to fire.

459
00:41:19,855 --> 00:41:21,356
Fire!

460
00:41:26,778 --> 00:41:32,034
- What happened?
- Aft laser turrets report attacking battlestar.

461
00:41:32,075 --> 00:41:34,161
Fire aft mega lasers.

462
00:41:47,174 --> 00:41:50,135
Bring us around to Delta 1-5.

463
00:41:51,887 --> 00:41:54,056
Fire port lasers as she comes to bear.

464
00:41:54,097 --> 00:41:55,766
Coming around, sir.

465
00:42:11,782 --> 00:42:13,867
There's no red dot.

466
00:42:32,010 --> 00:42:34,096
Forward lasers lock on.

467
00:42:36,348 --> 00:42:38,392
- Locked.
- Fire!

468
00:42:46,984 --> 00:42:51,155
- You did it!
- We all did it, we all did it! Damage report.

469
00:42:51,196 --> 00:42:54,950
Extensive but controllable,
and landing bays are intact.

470
00:42:54,992 --> 00:42:57,244
Thank God. Recall all vipers.

471
00:43:05,002 --> 00:43:09,673
I'm getting a recall signal.
Break off! We're going home.

472
00:43:18,891 --> 00:43:22,644
- They're not following.
- I think they've had it.

473
00:43:22,769 --> 00:43:27,107
Has anyone picked up
Apollo and Starbuck on their scanner?

474
00:43:27,149 --> 00:43:28,400
Do you think...

475
00:43:28,442 --> 00:43:33,113
They're probably already back
having a cool one in the Officers' Club.

476
00:43:34,865 --> 00:43:37,493
Nothing. Not a sign of them.

477
00:43:37,534 --> 00:43:42,831
We've had no Cylon fighters
transmitting the identification signal.

478
00:43:42,915 --> 00:43:45,626
What if they never got off that base star?

479
00:43:45,667 --> 00:43:51,173
- Commander, Cylon fighter approaching.
- Transfer to my console.

480
00:43:51,215 --> 00:43:55,344
- Maybe that's them.
- Switch to attack computer frequency.

481
00:43:59,139 --> 00:44:03,060
No flashing red dot. Activate laser guns.

482
00:44:08,273 --> 00:44:10,484
No, sir, don't fire, it's them.

483
00:44:10,526 --> 00:44:13,153
How do you know?

484
00:44:13,195 --> 00:44:15,280
They're waggling!

485
00:44:16,281 --> 00:44:18,158
Waggling?

486
00:44:20,953 --> 00:44:23,831
- Just keep waggling, buddy.
- Yeah.

487
00:44:36,218 --> 00:44:39,763
Told you we didn't need
that electronic felgercarb.

488
00:45:20,053 --> 00:45:22,598
A- ha. I thought I'd find you up here.

489
00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:24,725
Hey, Starbuck.

490
00:45:25,893 --> 00:45:29,438
Everyone's looking for you
at the victory celebration.

491
00:45:29,479 --> 00:45:32,733
I, er...I think they're going to give us a medal.

492
00:45:32,774 --> 00:45:35,068
I'll be there.

493
00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:40,199
You still don't think that transmission
was a lure, do you?

494
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:42,993
No. Only now we'll never know.

495
00:45:43,035 --> 00:45:47,331
Wilker's lab was destroyed in the battle
and the recording with it.

496
00:45:47,372 --> 00:45:50,792
So you're waiting here
for another transmission.

497
00:45:52,211 --> 00:45:54,338
Yeah.

498
00:45:54,379 --> 00:45:57,299
Boomer rigged a gamma signal booster.

499
00:45:57,341 --> 00:46:00,344
If anything's out there, I should pick it up.

500
00:46:03,222 --> 00:46:05,766
You think it came from Earth, don't you?

501
00:46:07,476 --> 00:46:09,853
I hope it did.

502
00:46:09,895 --> 00:46:13,148
Our first contact
should be her transmission,

503
00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:15,400
something similar to what we saw.

504
00:46:15,442 --> 00:46:18,904
Just looked like an old spacecraft
on a routine run to me.

505
00:46:18,946 --> 00:46:21,990
What would you expect,
a momentous message?

506
00:46:24,660 --> 00:46:27,788
No, we'll just pick up
routine radio or video scans,

507
00:46:27,830 --> 00:46:31,208
nothing extraordinary - to them, anyway.

508
00:46:33,001 --> 00:46:35,754
Come on, buddy. Let's join the celebration.

509
00:46:35,796 --> 00:46:40,175
If Earth's out there,
we'll find it without you holding vigil.

510
00:46:40,217 --> 00:46:42,302
Yeah, I guess you're right.

511
00:47:00,779 --> 00:47:03,198
They're really gonna give us a medal?

512
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:07,578
Did I say us?
I think they're just decorating me!

513
00:47:26,722 --> 00:47:28,891
'300 feet, down three and a half.

514
00:47:28,932 --> 00:47:31,059
'47 forward.

515
00:47:31,101 --> 00:47:33,395
'50 down and two and a half.

516
00:47:33,437 --> 00:47:35,272
'19 forward.

517
00:47:35,314 --> 00:47:38,275
'100 feet, three and a half down.
Nine forward.

518
00:47:39,067 --> 00:47:41,069
'40 feet down, two and a half.

519
00:47:41,111 --> 00:47:43,739
'Kicking up some dust. Faint shadow.'

520
00:47:43,780 --> 00:47:47,075
'We copy you down, Eagle.'

521
00:47:47,951 --> 00:47:50,037
'Tranquillity Base here.

522
00:47:50,078 --> 00:47:52,247
'The Eagle has landed.'
