All language subtitles for Battlestar Galactica 1980 S01E08 The Night the Cylons Landed Pt 2-eng

Your money or your life.

Turn off that machine!

A guy burned down
a joint with flames
coming out of his fingers.

Flames coming
out of his fingers?

It was Cylon of human form.

What?

He was
in this 8-foot suit.

It was a Cyclops!

Hey,
that's expensive stuff.

What emergency transmission
procedures do you have?

Hey, you dudes can't do that.

ADAMA: The great ship,
Galactica.

Our home for these many years

we've endured the wilderness
of space:

And now we near
the end of our journey:

We have at last found Earth:

NARRATOR:
In a moment, Part II of
"The Night the Cylons Landed,"

but first
a few scenes from Part l:

Captain, I'm still echoing
that slow-moving target.

Everything suggests
a Cylon machine.

Visual sighting, sir.

She's coming right at us.

Prepare for evasive action.

We damaged her:

It looks like
she's gonna blow
right into Earth's orbit:

According to our calculations,
she's going down smack
in the middle of New York.

Every observatory
in the world has spotted it.

Once it touches down,
we should be
able to locate it.

You haven't even
told me what it is.

Our main concern is
to get to the craft

and its crew
before anybody else.

We are encountering signals
from the planet below:

There are apparently
life forms on this planet.

Andromus, I see it,
but I do not understand.

We have done
what no Cylon before us
has been able to do.

We have found
the lost human civilization.

She's going in,
about 60 miles north
of New York City.

I see it, but what is it?

I am created in man's image,

so I may go
wherever necessary

to study their
transmission centers.

So that we may use
our distress beam
to signal our people.

It's not one of ours.

Troy, it's Cylon.

You guys weren't
in that crash.
That wasn't our ship.

Let's check you guys out, huh?
Up against the car.

Feet spread. Now.
That's it. Spread your legs.

Hey, Leroy,
what in the world is this?

I don't know,
some kind of cigarette lighter?

Holy...

WOLFMAN ON RADIO:
Just laying down the sound: : :

Stop the car!
Stop the car!

What?

That costume,
it's incredible.

Costume?
Are you out of your mind?

You just gave me
a heart attack.

Hey, you want a lift?
It's Halloween, right?

Everybody has
a blast tonight.
Come on.

Turn on your scanner to
the Cylon distress frequency.

(BEEPING)

They've got some kind
of transmitting device.

They must think they can use it to
reach the Cylon empire, but how?

And this is
my husband Norman.

He's general manager
of the station we're listening to.

Station.

150,000 watts.

On a good night,
they can hear us
in the next galaxy.

Really?

Mildred and Arnie are
just gonna love this.

Yeah, well, I hope
they feel the same way

after Arnie forces a couple
of his famous meatballs
down their throat.

Now, Norman,
don't get started on those
meatballs again this year.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Troy.

I see them.

We have the fugitive
police car in sight.
We're in pursuit.

We stop, we'll lose time.

That's the one thing
we can't afford to lose.

All those Cylons
need to do is get
control of a transmitter

for just a few minutes.

NARRATOR: And now
the exciting conclusion of
"The Night the Cylons Landed:"

DILLON:
This is the largest city,
we've seen on Earth.

TROY:
We should easily
be able to lose our pursuers.

DILLON: Yeah, tell them.
They're right behind us.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

That was close.

Troy, they're still
right behind us.

Troy.
Yes?

We're running out of city.

I think we just
ran out of city.

(SCREAMING)

Troy.
Over here.

OFFICER 1: Get on the horn
to Harbor Patrol
to start looking for bodies.

And, look,
until we get them,
cordon off the area.

Commander Adama here.

Go ahead,
Captain Troy.

Lieutenant Dillon and I
located the crashed ship.

Commander, it's a Cylon ship.

Yes, we know.

Our Earth brothers, are they
aware of the Cylons' existence?

Negative, the ship
was set to self-destruct.

There were no traces left
that can be analyzed.

Thank the Lord.

But there's something else.

Not all the crew members
perished inside the crash.

By our judgment,
they're not that far ahead of us.

We assume that
they're headed for a powerful

transmitting station
in the city of New York.

Commander,
if they transmit Earth's location...

Yes, I understand, Doctor.

Troy, Dillon, never has
your mission been so grave.

We must not let the Cylons
transmit Earth's location
to their battle fleet.

We won't.

We can't.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Oh, Norman, Shirley,
you look wonderful!

(CHUCKLES)

Arnie, the boss is here.

ARNIE:
Good. Tell them I'm baking
a real surprise in here.

Yes, well we baked
a real surprise out here.

Fellas.

Oh, what a get-up.
Arnie!

Arnie, come here
you've got to see this.

Oh, come on now,
what could possibly be...

Holy... Who is that?
Who's in there?
Wilt Chamberlain?

Guess again.

No, I can't.
I gotta get back
to the kitchen and meatball...

There goes the surprise,
I gave it away.

I only wish...

Oh, come on.
I want you to
have the first taste.

Listen, I think I ought to
introduce our friends around.

We got to bring them if we
could talk them into coming.

CHILD: Hi, what a space suit!

Tommy, kids,
this is Andy and...

Centuri.

Centuri.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween,
little people.

Well, I hope
you like the crowd.

It's mostly ad agency...
You know, media.

I'm interested
in your transmissions.

Transmissions?

Yes, your Wolfman Jack.

Well, if you're interested
in broadcasting, you've
come to the right party.

You'll find out anything
you want to know, right here.

That would be very helpful.

(SIREN WAILING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

What took you guys so long?

My kid locked himself
in the bathroom.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Unit 47:: :

I can see him
through the crack
in the door.

: : : to East Side YMCA:
He's sticking
his tongue out at me.

OFFICER:
Lady, we'll get him.
WOMAN: Hurry up!

WOMAN: I can't believe it.

(DOOR CLOSING)

(BEEPING)

The signal's getting weaker,
Troy.

The Centurions must be
on the other side of the city.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:
Attention all units:

Code 1016: Be on the alert
for two Caucasian males:

Approximately 6'2",
both wearing leather jackets:

One light tan,
one dark brown:

Suspects are armed

Unit 47, report to East Side YMCA:

DILLON: We can't remain
in these clothes much longer.

Every police officer
in this city
is looking for us.

All the facilities for clothing
appear to be closed.

DILLON: Even if they weren't.
It's kind of hard not to be
noticed when you're soaking wet.

This way.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

# On the good ship Lollipop

# It's a sweet trip
to a candy shop

# Where bonbons play

# On the sunny beach
of Peppermint Bay: : :

All right.
That's them.

That's all we wanted to know.
Okay.

Colonel, how did you know?

They identified
the photographs.

No question about it.
They're the two that
climbed out of the ship.

We think they're smugglers.

I want you to get
their likeness out

to every police department
in the Tri-State Area.

Sir, it's already been done.

All right, but I want
these men taken alive.

That will be up to them, sir.

They're armed and dangerous.

MEN: # If you eat too much

WOMAN: # Gee whiz

MEN: # You'll awake
WOMAN: # With a tummy ache

We gotta get out of here.
Right.

Lift me.

Hey, lift her!

# On the good ship Lollipop

# It's a night trip
into bed you hop

DILLON:
And for our disappearing act.

# And dream away
on the good ship Lollipop

# Lollipop #

(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)

Did you feel something?

We've lost a lot of time.

I know. According
to my scanner the Cylon
signals remain constant.

It's approximately
4.6 acron ions in strength.

That means they've either
been stopped by something

or they've reached
the transmission station
where they were headed.

Taxi!

It worked.

Hey!

Hi, everybody.
Happy Halloween!

Wolfman Jack on the scene.

You wanna have a party
tonight, say, "Oh, yeah!"

ALL: Oh, yeah!

All right!

I will need you, Centuri.

These people have told me
that their transmission center

is just beyond
those buildings.

It cannot be visited
at night because of
security precautions.

They have, however,
what are known as keys
for emergency admittance.

Centuri, we must
find those keys

or take one of these people
with us.

You will investigate
the man who dwells here.

By your command:

Oh, my!

It is Wolfman.

See, I told you he'd be here.

Hi, Wolfman.

What's your name?
Tommy.

Hi, little Tommy.
Hi.

Now, I want all you
little ghosts and goblins
and part-time Frankensteins

to have
a good time tonight.
Right?

Oh, yeah!

ALL: Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

All right. Yes, indeed.

Hey, Wolf,
I need you on the balcony.

Well, I tell you,
you know...

Wow!

What...
Who's the chrome head?

Centuri.

Wow. Well, listen,
I got all my fans here.

I got someone who's been
dying to meet you all night.

He's a real fan of yours.

Well, anybody with taste like that,
I can't keep waiting.

Oh, come on.
Excuse me, guys. Okay?

Okay.
All right.

Hi, happy Halloween!

Hi!

The legendary Wolfman Jack.

This is my friend, Andy...

Call me Andy.

Well, lay it on me, Andy.

(CACKLES)

I'll just leave you two alone.

Hey, I understand
that walking monument
out there belongs to you.

Monument?

Yeah, that big dude out there.
You know, with the silver hairdo.

Yes, we enjoyed very much
hearing your transmission.

Though it did seem
somewhat primitive.

Well, that's my style,
but you talk about primitive.

Primitive was when
Marconi sent the letter S

across the English Channel
back in 1901.

Now, that was primitive.

I am very interested
in what you call radio.

Oh, yes, radio.

Radio is the real music
of the spheres.

Each and every star
and planet out there

are sending out
their own signals.

Just like the old Wolfman,
who is a heavenly body
in his own right.

The only thing that
can stop the Wolfman Jack
is a big old solar wave.

Solar wave?

Yeah, you see,
every now and then,
the sun gives off with an attack.

It's like eating spicy food.

And sends out waves
and waves of gases

for millions
and millions of miles.

And I tell you,
it stops radio plain dead.

This would
stop your transmission?

Yeah, can you dig it?

Oh, quite possibly.

A vegetation center in the
middle of all this concrete.

I estimate the signal
they're emitting is

coming from those
perpendicular dwellings
just beyond this space.

It's not the kind of place
you'd expect to find
a powerful transmitter.

There's got to be a link
to the Cylon mission
here someplace.

DILLON: Too bad
we're on such a deadly mission.

Because New York
looks like a nice place.

According to my scanner,
the signals are
getting stronger.

It's coming from that
large dwelling dead ahead.

Hey, look at the fancy Dans.

Going to a party, boys?

(TOUGHIES CHUCKLING)

Yes, well,
we are in a hurry.

Fine, we'll keep it
short and sweet.
Your money or your life.

That hardly seems
like an equitable trade.

We don't have any money
that you could use.

What kind of money
are you carrying, fancy Dan?

Stolen.

Stolen?
He's carrying stolen money.

It was a mistake,
but strictly speaking,
he's correct.

Hear that, fellas.
Fancy Dan has been heard from.

Okay. You hand over
your stolen money.

We'll worry about it
from there,

and you can both
be on your way.

Come on,
give me your money,
baby, huh?

We can't do that.

It would implicate you
in a bank robbery

and that would
be unfair to you.

Man, I heard
some jive in my time,
but this is prime stuff.

Now, one more time, dudes.

Troy,

why don't we take advantage
of the vegetation?

That's a good idea.
That way we can avoid violence.

That does it. Take 'em!

(TOUGHIES EXCLAIMING)

Where'd they go?

Hey!

May I remind you
we're in a hurry?

Right. Goodbye.

Must be that junk food
I'm eating.

It's affecting my head.

I found no keys:
We must take a human:

I have examined
these premises.

There is a food preparation center
with an access door.

A human could accompany us

without alarming
any of the other guests.

I want you
to go there and wait.

I will bring the one
who best serves our purposes.

By your command:

Norman, just in time for a
fresh batch of meatballs.

Forget the meatballs,
I'm worried.

Forget my meatballs?

Forget these morsels
of heavenly splendor

that I spent
an hour and a half preparing?

Arnie, I don't care
if you spent
a year and a half.

Now, I want to know what
you told that guy out there

about the security system
at the station.

He asked if he could go
to the station to see
how a show is done.

I said sure.
When he said tonight,
I laughed.

Yeah, well, I'm not laughing.

I noticed.

How did he find out about
the keys to the elevator?

I told him he couldn't
get there at night.

There are only
three sets of keys.

Why? What's going on?

Look, Arnie, I think
we better call the police.

What?

I think we got
a couple of nuts out there.

Nuts?

What kind of friends
did you invite to my party?

Well, I only know them an hour.

An hour? You invited
perfect strangers to my party.

And now they're probably
getting out of line, is that it?

No, no, no.
It's just that all this talk

about the radio stations
got me nervous.

I'll tell you what, Norman,
take these out,
pass them around.

I'll be out there in a minute
and I'll see that they leave
nice and quietly.

No, no, no.
That could be dangerous.

Remember, I worked my way
through school as a bouncer.

Believe me, Norman,
there's nobody I can't handle.

Hi!

We were just
talking about you.
Hi, pal.

Having a nice time,
are you?

You were speaking of danger:

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Danger? No, I...
Did you say anything
about danger?

No, no. Well, I...

(STAMMERING) I said that
it was dangerous.
I mean, the meatballs.

When you take one,
you have to take another.
They just grow on you.

Yeah. Wait till you
sink your chops
into one of these.

(CENTURION BEEPING)

What happened?

He collapsed.

Probably ate
some of your meatballs.
Poor man.

He did not eat my meatballs.
I was just in here cooking,
he came in and...

Maybe he's got a pacemaker.
Think it could have
been the microwave?

No, no, no. That's not true.
Unless he had
an old pacemaker.

I read alternating current
can do that.

Here, help me get this off.

What have you done?

The machine.
Turn off that machine!

(WHIRRING)

Arnie, what did you
put in the meatballs?
Gunpowder?

Somebody call
the fire department.

I will before
that fire spreads.

Get the kids out of here.
Use the stairwell!

Wolfman, give me a hand
with this guy.

Centuri, rise.

Stand back:
Stay back from me:

Wolfman,

we'll go this way.

TROY: Come on.
Looks like a fire
in the top floor.

(SIREN WAILING)

Not the elevator!
Use the staircase!

(ALL CLAMORING)

The signal's weaker, Troy.
They must be
leaving the building.

WOMAN: Sammy! Sammy, no!

Skippy's in there!

You go after the Cylons.
We'll communicate later.

No, no, no, no.
I'll get him.

No, wait a minute.
No.

Sammy!

SAMMY: Skippy, Skippy,
where are you?

Skippy, Skippy,
where are you, Skippy?
Come here, Skippy!

Come on.

I want you to put this
over your nose and mouth.

I want you to
breathe through it.
Okay? Let's go!

(DOG BARKS)

Skippy!

Stay here.
I'll get him.

Okay,
let's get out of here now.

I want you to stay down
close to the ground
where the air's better.

Smoke rises.

Oh, oh, Sammy!

FIREMAN:
Use the stairwell just in case
there's a power failure.

Now, there's no danger
below this floor,
so take your time.

You can take him to Bellevue.
They'll be receiving
for an examination.

We're always happy
to cooperate completely

with the federal government,
Colonel.

However, you're not giving us
very much to go on.

The matter is under
a close security blanket.

What's the matter?

Don't you trust the
New York City Police Department?

No, I didn't say that.

Then just what did you mean?

There are things
under investigation

that do not
necessarily seem rational.

Nor do they
present possibility
of rational explanations.

The average cop
on the street
couldn't handle it.

Don't underestimate my men.

All right.
You want it straight.

(SIGHS)

I'll give you what I can.

Alone, if you don't mind.

Grover's my right hand.
What I hear, he hears.
That's the way it is.

I understand.

All right.

I believe
we are dealing with aliens

from another world.

Grover.

Give us a few minutes,
will you?

My pleasure, Chief.
Nice meeting you, Colonel.

Pleasure meeting you.

The next time I say,
"Take 'em,"

I don't want you clowns
giving me no hesitation.

You move
when I say move.

Or I'll find me
some real muscle
to take uptown.

We are gonna teach
some lucky dude
the meaning of trick-or-treat.

TOUGHIE 1:
Hey, somebody's coming.

Hey, who are you guys?

I mean,
I don't know what you want,
but I can't help you.

We wish to see
your broadcast center.

WOLFMAN: Are you kidding?
You mean you want
to walk 50 blocks?

This is a bad night
for mugging.

WOLFMAN: I mean,
I've been through
a real experience, man.

I'm dead.
You know what I mean?

Okay. Okay, now,
where can I...

(STAMMERING) Where can I
take you guys?

International Trade Center.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

I said it was going to
be hard to swallow.

You said it was
going to be hard,
but this is ridiculous.

I've got a fellow officer
in a Washington hospital

suffering from
a kind of shock
that isn't at all ridiculous.

His brain is someplace else.

His brain is someplace else.

That's what they're gonna
be saying about me

if I pay any attention
to your request.

I don't want
those men harmed.

We don't shoot people
on sight, Colonel Briggs,
but the men must me alerted.

Especially when
there's reason to believe
they're in danger.

Which I think
is the case now.

I'll admit to that.

Sorry to interrupt, Chief.
This could be what
you're looking for.

A fire over in Central Park.

What has that got to do with...

We've got a dozen witnesses
in Bellevue that swore

a guy burned down
a joint with flames
coming out of his fingers.

Flames coming
out of his fingers?

Colonel, where are you going?

Bellevue.

You don't believe that.

No, of course not.

Get another car
and follow us.

Okay,
that'll be five bucks.

That will be all.

Show us to the transmitter.

We are almost there,
Centuri.

And soon we shall
summon our brothers

to the last outpost
of human civilization.

What have you learned?
Our scanner's
right on target.

They're here.
Right up the street.

A taxi driver said
they're in that building.

Of course.
There's a transmission tower.
Come on.

What is it you guys want?

I mean, if you want
to make a political
announcement or something...

I mean, you know,
something can be worked out.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
All floors above this floor
are closed to the public:

Access is by special key only:

You will find
further information
on the control panel:

The key.

The key?

The key.
We'll be on the top floor
in just a minute.

Radio station's
on the 70th floor.

The extension tube's
over here.

WOLFMAN:
It's this way.

(THAT'LL BE THE DAY PLAYING)

# That'll be the day when I die

# Well, that'll be the day: : :

What is it?
Why have we stopped?

I don't know.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
All floors above this floor
are closed to the public:

Access is by special key only:

You will find
further information
on the control panel:

Just a number to dial.
A lot of good that's gonna do.

Oh, now we're getting someplace.

Troy, that's a long way
up there to the top.

Do we have a choice?

How is it?

You're not gonna like it.
Come on up anyway.

There.
Now we should be
able to jump.

Not all the way up there.

No, we should be able
to leap one floor at a time
till we reach the top.

That's a wonderful idea, Troy.
Why don't you try it?

I'm going to.

Be careful, Troy.

Your turn.
I don't want to get
too far ahead of you.

No, that's all right.
I'm not proud.

39 more to go.

# That'll be the day
when you say goodbye

# That'll be the day
you make me cry #

Whoever is in charge
must be warned to cooperate.

Their well-being is
completely in your hands.

Yeah, well, you tell them.

Tell whom?

The machines.

You see,
when I go off the air,

the rest of the night
is fully automated,

and the machines do it all
until 6:00 in the morning.

The music we play
is on this machine,

and when the record finishes,
that machine comes on.

WOLFMAN ON TAPE:
Oh, yeah! That'll Be the Day.

And this is your Wolfman
reminding you that
these late, great sounds

coming your way
on the mighty WQSL:
150,000 watts of magic:

And, now, a quick bit
of information
for all you night cats:

WEATHERMAN ON TAPE:
The WQSL weather check
for New York City tomorrow

shows a high
of 78 degrees Fahrenheit,
26 degrees Celsius:

And, now, back to the Wolfman:

WOLFMAN: Hey, hey, hey:

This is the number one: : :
Very impressive.

: : : the sounds of My Life.

Someday, you Earth people
will come to understand

just how unimportant you are
to running a truly efficient society.

(MY LIFE PLAYING)

You Earth people?

Where is your input terminal?
We have a signal to transmit.

No, no, I didn't actually
see fire coming from
anyone's fingertips.

(COUGHING) Well, I did.

She's very excitable.

(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE)
Excitable?

Norman,
I actually saw someone
blow up a kitchen.

(STAMMERING)
And you say I'm excitable.

You actually saw a flame
coming from this creature...

Appear as though
it was coming from
this man's fingertips?

Yes. Yes.
How many times
do I have to tell you? Yes!

You know,
I saw this movie once,

and the guy had
a flame thrower
attached to his arm.

But he covered it up
with a robe.

He had to create
this burning bush
to impress the natives.

Did this man
we're talking about
appear to have

a flame thrower
attached to his back?

(COUGHING) No.

No.

Now then,
which of the two men
I'm about to show you

spewed flames
out of his fingers?

Well, neither one of these.

Neither one of these?

He didn't look anything
like these guys.

Mr. Blore,
maybe your head
is a little clearer.

Well, now, wait a minute.
He was there.

Ah-ha,
now we're getting someplace.

Now I can add arson
to the list.

You sure this is the man
who started the fire?

No, no, no, no.
He was the one
that rescued us.

He rescued you?

Oh, yes!
Yes, he ran right back
through all those flames

and he saved little Sammy.

I probably owe that man
my son's life.

You sure about that?
Oh, yeah.

Well, he is definitely
not the one
that started the fire,

and the other one
wasn't even there.
Not that we could see.

Not that you could see?

That means there was
another one there
that you could not see.

Well, he was
in this 8-foot suit.

Yeah. He was immense.

And he had this big red eye
that kept drifting.

(IMITATING WHOOSHING SOUND)

There'd been a lot
of libation going on
before these two got there.

Halloween cheer.

If you're asking me,
had I been drinking,
no, I don't drink when I cook.

Excuse me.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Quiet!

What's going on here,
Sergeant?

This is a hospital,
not a booking office.

I'm sorry, Captain.
We found these two boys
running down 5th Avenue,

and when we stopped
to question them,

they start babbling
like a couple of maniacs.

So I thought
I'd want to check on them.

You know,
to see if they were drinking
or something like that.

Officer,
we ain't been drinking.

Man, this was like
something you've never seen.

Go on, take them
down to the station,
check them out.

What about
that metal creep?
It was a Cyclops!

Yeah, he's telling
like it is.

Some big chrome-dome
is trying to take over
our territory in the Park.

(SIREN WAILING)

BRIGGS: A security guard
saw this 8-foot giant

entering the
International Trade Center.

CHIEF:
Probably the same one
those young punks saw.

Close enough
to make you a believer?

I believe we got trouble.
I just don't know
what kind it is.

And until I find out,
it's my jurisdiction,
not yours.

Chief, before this is over
you may want all the help
you can get.

We will need
the emergency homing device.

Hey,
that's expensive stuff.

Listen,
anything you want to do,

you can do right here
with this microphone.

What emergency transmission
procedures do you have?

You know,
that's government stuff.

That's the
Emergency Broadcasting System.

That's where the government
cuts in on about 8,000 radio stations

and tells them
what's coming down

and what they're
supposed to do about it.

We will tap into that system.

Hey, you dudes can't do that.

I mean, you start messing
with that sealed gear upstairs,

and the government's really
gonna come down on you.

You will show us
where that equipment is.

I can't.

Centuri.

You got it.
Yes, indeed.

We're almost there,
but don't look down.

WOLFMAN:
Hey, you dudes are messing
with some heavy, heavy stuff.

I mean,
this is big-time government.

The US of A.

I mean,
this is the big democracy.

Is this the emergency system?

Ah, give it up, guys.

There ain't no way
you gonna get in there
to activate that system.

Centuri.

Oh.

(WHIRRING)

Lead us to the main dish.

Ah, look, guys,
I got this thing
about heights, so...

Centuri,
keep your place. Tin man.

Of all the parties
I had to go to,
I had to go to this one,

and then I had to meet
these guys. They ain't never
gonna believe this...

Transmission's
getting stronger.

This way.

And now we must
link it up to signal.

Beam out to our brothers.

Beam out to your brothers?

The signal from Earth
has been turned
to beam straight up

to the star Balcon.

I suggest you begin
jamming all outbound
signals from Earth

by sending out enormous
high-powered interference

on these transmission bands.

The Cylon base ship
will surely come

to investigate
such interference.

Perhaps with a small patrol.

But is that distress signal
is beamed up to space,

she will respond
with every ship
in the Cylon fleet.

I'll have our warships stand by
to launch an intercept
against the Cylons.

I will also pray
that it is unnecessary.

I mean, come on now, guys,
I've been a real good sport
about this whole thing.

Now, I've done exactly
as you asked me to do,
against my better judgment.

Yes, you have served
your purpose. Centuri.

Hold on. Hey, hey, now.
Wait a minute, now, big fella.
No reason to get uptight.

I mean, I believe in
"live and let live."

I mean, if you and your friend
want to look at the stars,

you know, and you want to
communicate with your brothers

or whatever it is,
who's to say what's normal?
You know what I mean?

I mean...
Centurion!

Stop them, Centuri.

Get out of the way!

You don't have
to say it twice.

(GROANS)

Centuri, keep them
from deflecting the antenna.

I will protect you:

ANDROMUS: No, Centuri,
save the antenna,

so that we may
communicate with our fleet...

You all right?
I will be as soon
as I get out of here.

I will protect you:

No, Centuri.

I'm going. Bye!

Centuri, Centuri,
what are you doing?

I will protect you:

No, Centuri,
not this way.

No!

Talk about close.

ADAMA: The signals
from Earth have stopped,
and we've stopped our jamming.

WOMAN ON INTERCOM:
Incoming transmission
for Commander Adama:

Transfer to
Dr. Zee's chamber, please.

TRO Y: Commander:

Troy, you're all right.
Is Dillon?

Yes, sir, fine and well.

But the Cylons, the signals.
We were afraid...

Temporary setback.
The Cylons took the fall.

Fall's a good word for it.
It was a beaut.

It was a...
A beaut?

That's Earth talk.
The Cylons destroyed themselves.

Well, then they're hardly
now so advanced
that we cannot win.

No, sir: The next time
do us a courtesy,

if the Cylons are
on their way to Earth,

please give us
a little more notice.

Or don't let them
come at all.

They ruined a fine holiday,
known here on Earth
as Halloween.

My apologies
to all concerned.

CHIEF: Span out.
Cover the building.

Come on, move it!

(CHIEF YELLING ORDERS)

OFFICER:
All right, guys, this way.
Up to the roof. Everybody!

(BEEPING)

Absolutely no one here.

You sure about that?

Yeah, believe me,
we searched every inch
of this place:

There's no one here:

Either they vanished
or they rode off
on broomsticks:

I'm telling you, these two...
These two guys
come up with tails on,

and they zap
these other two space nuts,
you know?

I know it sounds crazy,
but it's the truth.

I'm not kidding around.
This is the way it happened.

Colonel, I don't know
what you think
is really out there,

but you got to remember
you're in New York City.

Outsiders are always
taking shots at us

because they don't know
very much about
what's going on here.

Chief, you can't tell me
that anyone,

not you, not one of your men,
can explain what has
gone on here tonight.

And that's because
it was not of this world.

But I've spent enough time
in the New York City
Police Department

not to be willing
to be convinced
about almost anything.

And what about the two
who were supposed to
be on the roof,

and are not?
Where are they?

(DISPATCHER CHATTERING ON RADIO)

I will protect you:

Call the men
down off the roof.
We're gonna pack it up.

Hey, Chief,
we've been through some
zany cases together before,

but you don't really believe
there's anything to this,

you know...

(IMITATES WHOOSHING SOUND)

What do you think
it really was?

It's Halloween, Grover.
Trick or treat.

Come on down.

Right.

Time to head for home.

Home?
But we just got here.

And everyone's
always saying how lively
and exciting New York is.

That it has been.

No, I meant it.
Except for those
excitable youths

of Central Park,
I think it was.
It was very nice.

And I'd like to see
those other segments

of that entertainment
we interrupted.

Dillon, maybe next time.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

So, this is New York.
