"Previously on Battlestar Galactica:" "The Threes, the D'Annas, they were boxed after the battle on the algae planet." "Why?" "D'Anna saw the faces of the Final Five, but if we unbox her, she can reveal their identities to us." "The Final Five have been to Earth." "If we help find them, they can help us get there." "So what could possibly motivate us to trust you now?" "The boxing facility resides within the Cylon resurrection hub." "This hub controls the functions of every resurrection ship." "You destroy the hub, Cylons lose their ability to download." "The Hybrid on the baseship spoke of an opera house and a dying leader." "We're going to talk to the Hybrid." "And why would you require my presence?" "Because you're in my visions." "President Roslin was apparently aboard the Cylon baseship, along with Gaius Baltar and many of Galactica's pilots when it jumped away." "Hub's gone." "We're getting radiation signatures from multiple nukes." "Baseship fragments." "The president's baseship was destroyed." "It's a different baseship." "Waiting alone in a raptor as the rest of the fleet jump away, well, that sounds a lot like suicide, dad." "Why are you doing this?" "Because I can't live without her." "Plug it in." "I need to talk to it." " Let God's will be done." " Shut up." "It's time to get some answers." "Jump!" "Elosha." "Oh, my gods." "Filters." "Filters, the sublime elevation of the..." "Why did it jump?" "Where are we?" "I'm more concerned about why we're here." "...control, filters..." "Why don't I talk to the Hybrid?" "Find out why." "She can just do that." "She can just" "Jump!" "Will you walk with me?" "Galactica." "It... what's going on?" " It's empty." " It is." "Feels bigger this way, doesn't it?" "It's so quiet." "It's strange." "A lot of things are strange." "Brought to you by:" "Robbo Edited by rogard" "Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Episode 09" "Wing beats of a dove drown out the heartbeats of those who follow." "The Six is back in the stream." "That's unusual." "To jump again so quickly." "What do you think it means?" "Look, it knows me." "It trusts me," "I think." "I think it even likes me, 'cause I..." "You're getting information from this liquid?" "The Hybrid is disorganized." "It's panicking." "I don't know why." "Tell me." "Why are you jumping the ship?" "The Six." "The Six who went among the makers is no longer." "End of line." "Back in the stream that feeds the ocean that feeds the stream." "The Six." "She means Natalie, the Six who was our leader." "She's either been hurt or killed back on Galactica." "That's why the Hybrid's panicking." "So she's upset." "Okay, fine." "Can you calm her down?" "Can you tell her to jump back?" "It doesn't work like that." "She makes her own decisions." "And we can't unplug her because now she's wired herself into life support." "All right, then why don't we give this a go?" "Hey." "Hey, stop jumping the ship, all right?" "Calm your mind." "Cease countdown, cease countdown." "Circulation, ventilation, control." "Filters." " Filters." "The sublime elevation..." " Did you see that?" "I just opened myself up to it..." " on a spiritual level..." " Jump!" "Don't you just hate these people?" "No." "Oh, but you don't love them either." "The people in this room are the closest thing you've got to family, and you..." "You've been their president." "Watch them try to comfort each other." "At least you haven't taken that away from them.... yet." "You didn't rob them of their empathy... yet." "You just don't make room for people anymore." "You don't love people." "Is that clear enough?" "Practical enough for you, Madam President?" "I think we're going towards the resurrection hub." "I think the mission is still on." "You sure there's no ETA at the hub?" "No, the hub is jumping and our Hybrid's jumping after it." "Sometimes we're showing up six hours after it's moved on." "Sometimes, like, six minutes." "And one time it'll be within one jump-length and we'll catch it." "Yeah, but we don't know when." "So we'll have to assume that any jump could be... the one that just drops us in next to it." "They're gonna read our heat signatures the second we fire up the first viper." "Hell, they'll read our electronics." "Yeah, if we could only mask that." "Go in cold." "No electronics at all." "We'll send the vipers out dead, towed by Cylon birds." "They'll never see it coming." "Take out the hub's jump drive, then settle in for the long fight." "Yeah, good, okay, okay." "But you and me, we've got to get onto the hub in the middle of that mess and try to find D'Anna." "We can do this." "No, I-I don't know." "It's crazy, isn't it?" "We're putting ourselves right where the action is." "It's not a great plan." "There's no time." "Hey, let me help you." "Athena, my wife, she learned to do that." "She never did that when I met her." "What?" "I got curious about Athena." "About her and Hera and you." "So I accessed her, her memories from her last download." "You have her memories." "Yeah, and they're mine now too." "They're as real as my own." "I know this must feel like a violation of trust or something, but I don't..." "I don't want it to be strange, okay?" "Right." "Right, sure." "Madam President?" "Sir?" "Hope I didn't wake you." "Uh, come in." "Thank you for the use of your... your raptor." "I needed some familiar surroundings." "Don't worry." "I'll give it back to Lt. Pike the second you need it." "About that." "This mission, it's very risky." "If there's even a chance that we can go in and blow up that hub and end Cylon resurrection for all Cylons forever, we must take it." "I cannot back away from that." "Yes, sir." "If and when D'Anna comes back from the dead, bring her to me." "I think the Cylons think that she'll be interrogated by both groups together." "I'm sure they do." "Bring her to me." "She knows the identities of the five Cylons in our fleet." "It is a matter now of human security, and I will not let the Cylons have audience to that discussion." "I want to talk to her alone." "Yes, sir." "Good." "Welcome home, D'Anna." "You told me I'd never have to go through this again." "I lied." "You thought you were putting me away forever." "So what changed?" "War." "A genuine Cylon civil war." "Ones and Fours and Fives against Twos and Sixes and Eights that objected to your retirement." "Now your supporters are working with humans against all the rest of us." "All in your name." "Boomer's an Eight." "Shouldn't she be on the other side?" "Boomer's my pet Eight." "She's seen the light of reason." "And an Eight can make a passionate ally." "Till she sees something shiny." "Why'd you bring me back anyway?" "I brought you back to heal us, sister, and end this shameful war." "Since Cylon pilots don't use call signs, we're gonna be painting unique identifiers on all their birds." "That's a relief." "You address them, use that number, okay?" "Should've scrubbed this frakkin' mission." "Hey, everyone, listen up." "Now these heavy raiders aren't like the other raiders." "They aren't gonna make any hinky moves on their own." "They're under the control of their pilots." "The Cylon pilots are in charge of their birds." "Oh, now there are tiny pilots inside of them?" "We do our jobs." "Training is just as good as yours." "Oh, yeah?" "Twenty-some of you I've taken out weren't that good." "Redwing." "Redwing!" "Now let's talk about the surprise element." "First wave of vipers are gonna ride in, engines cold, DRADIS and comm off, okay?" "You're gonna come in towed by cables from the heavy raiders." " We're rigging 'em up now." " Captain, don't..." "Now, I mean, if they're all tied together here, kissing their gasholes so to speak, and they tap on the brakes, we're gonna smash right in the back of them." "They won't." "It'll work, you guys." "Really." "When you're close enough, the cable's gonna disconnect." "We're mounting small explosive charges to cut it." "Hold it, hold it." "We cut the cable, right?" "Cylon pilots cut the cable." "Then you sling out of their birds and you turn your power on." "You're gonna be gunning directly at the hub's FTL." "Then it's an all-out fight until we can get in there with the nukes." "Yeah, so if the Cylons don't lift up, and then we're toast, right?" "No, look, I'm serious." "Hey, hey!" "Pilots!" "You've flown with Cylons." "You've flown with Athena." "You put your life in her hands and she hasn't betrayed you." "Well, I am the same as her." "Now all of these Cylons here, all of these people, they're pilots like you." "And they're gonna be out in the soup with you taking out other Cylons, just like Athena does every time she's asked to." "And when that hub is taken out, all of their lives will be at risk." "Just like yours." "So you might want to think about how you're gonna work together." "Because we're all dead if you don't." "Moving on." "Just go and ask it already." "I've been told that you said something about an opera house, and I-- Because it seems pointless." "Look, there was an opera house." "An opera house." "Are you listening to me?" "Apparently I was in the opera house." "I had a vision." "I was chasing after a little girl." "I came to a door." "I saw Dr. Baltar and the Six take the child." " ...close the doors." "Protect the child." " And" " She's not listening." " 'Protect the child.' Protect the child." "She said, 'protect the child.' That's what Caprica said." "You told me I was the one holding the child, so obviously I was the one protecting the child, wasn't I?" " In the opera house..." " No." "No, no." "It wasn't at all clear what you were doing." "Let me listen." "Booting up." "I mean, obviously you've done this a thousand times before." "Well, I'm just doing the same thing you're doing." "No, you're not actually." "No, you're not." "Because if you'll watch what I'm doing, what I'm doing is I'm actually focusing on her, all right?" "Now tell us what happened in the opera house now, all right?" "Oh, the only thing you're doing is yelling." "Such a format will close the doors." "'Close the doors.' No, no, open the door." "Open the door." "I want to open the door!" "Do it again, do it again, do it again!" "I'm going for a walk." "Love to see you do any better." "All right, I'll do it." "Open the door!" "Three!" "The Three is online." "The Three is online." "The Three is online." "The Three is online." " Accessing data." " The Three is D'Anna." "Loading data." "D'Anna is online." "Oh, D'Anna's in a body." "D'Anna's back in a body." "Booting up... jump!" "Why are we doing this again?" "I don't want to see this again." "The ancients used to say 'a people is only... as strong as the body of its leader.'" "If I follow that thought, are you saying that humanity died because I died?" "If you're my subconscious, I've gotta say you're a little full of myself." "Humanity didn't die because you did." "The ancients, they got a lot of things wrong." "The body of a people is not the same as the body of its leader." "But the soul and the spirit might be." "Oh, I see, so you're only laying morality at my feet." "Well, that's okay." "I can take that." "I mean, there are a lot of people who have sins far greater than mine." "You're thinking of Gaius Baltar." "'...then I dug into the stump and pulled rocks... 'from the ground until my fingers bled.'" "'I collected seeds from the few fruits the island offered,' 'and planted them in long, straight furrows, like the ranks of soldiers." "'When I finished, I looked at what I had done." "'I did not see a garden." "'I saw a scar." "'This island had saved my life, and I had done it no service.'" "I can see a real hierarchy around here." "And I have to tell you, you're on the lower end of the scale, my friend." "Yes, you are." "Which is odd when you think about the Cylon god, because" "They told you about God, didn't they?" "I'm not even really sure if the Hybrid was referring to D'Anna, but if it's true..." "It certainly would make it easier." "How so?" "Well, we... wouldn't have to find a... find a body." "Yes, good." "Okay." "Go get her and bring her here." "Something else?" "It's just, once you have what she knows," "I can't help feeling like you could try to keep Earth for humans only and I just-- Madam President, that doesn't seem..." "What?" "Honest." "You're supposed to be conducting a fair deal here, and instead you're taking D'Anna off by yourself." "Taking what she knows." "Slow down, captain." "At best, D'Anna knows the identities of the Cylons in our fleet, and at best, they know a way to Earth." "So you're not denying you'd keep the way to Earth to yourself if you could." "I'm not saying that's true." "I will say that if the Cylons had the option, that's exactly, exactly what they would do." "No, I don't think so." "Not the Sharons, the Eights." "Captain, you are not married to the entire production line." "I cannot afford to be sentimental right now, and I cannot afford you to be sentimental either." "If you can't do this job, find me someone who can." "What is that?" "I think we're there." "Something's going on." "Another baseship, unscheduled." "You've gotta speak to the Twos and Sixes and Eights and tell them they've gone too far." "No." "Why don't you ask about the Final Five?" "You never ask about them." "That's because I don't believe we're meant to know them." "Well, I'll tell you." "I will tell you." "I'll start shouting out their names." "Why do you risk it?" "Are you going to help end this war or are you useless?" "25 heavy raiders just launched from the new arrival, heading our way." "Come on, let's get this carpool started." "Now!" "Cut the frakkin' cable now, you frakkin' bastard!" "Oh, the inhibition's been lifted." "Oh, I sense it." "It's the rebel baseship." "I think they're gonna attack." "They're gonna blow the hub." "That would be mass murder." "Death would be permanent for all of us." "They've gone insane." "Permanent death?" "Well, that makes this all the more meaningful." "Helo, we've blown their FTL." "That hub's not going anywhere." "Okay, take us down." "Well, he's your God as well." "And God doesn't want any of his creations to be... slaves." "Not that you're a slave... exactly." "Go." "This place is gonna go." "Grab her." "Run!" "Hardball, Pike." "I'm hit." "My attitude control is down, and I can't even program any frakkin' ordnance." "Pike, Hardball." "Man, don't jump." "You'll never make it to Galactica." "You know how many jumps that is?" "I'm out of here." "Okay, I'm jumping back home." "Karl." "Come on, let's go." "Go!" "There was this dog, see, and the master had... placed a bit of food on the edge of its snout." "And the dog had to wait until he was told he could eat it." "I know." "Pathetic." "Pathetic, isn't it?" "Put him over there." "Wait!" "Easy, Smith." "Easy, easy." "Okay." "Find out what's going on!" "Yes, sir." " Thank you." " Okay." " Thank you, thank you." " Good." "Okay, wait." "Okay." "Sorry." "You have this..." "You have this big hole in your hide, as Cottle would say." "Okay." "All right." "I'm gonna do this again." "Thank you." "It's the least I can do." "I think you're gonna live, as usual." "You know something?" "What?" "You're very pretty." "Man, that morpha works fast." "Still." "Do you know why I'm so serene right now?" "You're doped out of your mind?" "Because I know God." "You need God, Laura." "Really, you'd be a different woman." "I know God." "Therefore, I know myself." "Truth is..." "I was harboring the most awful, desperate guilt." "A heavy, dark, unimaginable, soul-breaking guilt." "Now it's gone." "Now it's gone, it's... been transformed into" "I have been transformed." "What was your guilt about?" "I have no guilt." "What was your guilt about?" "I gave the access codes to the Cylons." "They wiped out most of humanity." "Of course, I didn't know that's what I was doing at the time exactly, but that's what I did." "And when I realized what I had done, the magnitude." "In that moment, I was saved." "I was loved... by God." "Looking back," "I think I was rewarded." "Rewarded." "Pythia talks about the flood that wiped out most of humanity." "Nobody blames the flood." "A flood is a force of nature." "Through the flood, mankind is rejuvenated, born again." "I was another flood, you see." "I blamed myself." "I blamed myself, but God made the man that made that choice." "God made us all perfect." "And in that thought, all my guilt flies away, flies away like a bird." "I can give you that peace, Laura, that freedom." "Pray with me." "Pray with me." "Okay." "Thank you." "Okay." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "It's all right." "You're fine." "Don't do this to me." "Don't do this to me, please." "We have D'Anna on board." "We are clear of the hub." "Commence nuclear strike." "Repeat, nuclear strike is a go." "And with a whimper, every Cylon in the universe begins to die." "Yes, that's right." "And it's a good thing, D'Anna, because now there's no difference." "We can all start trusting each other." "Don't do this to me." "Don't... don't do this to me." "Don't do this to me, please." "Please." "No..." "I'm not saying Baltar's done more good than harm in the universe." "He hasn't." "The thing is, the harder it is to recognize someone's right to draw a breath, the more crucial it is." "If humanity is going to prove itself worthy of surviving, it can't do it on a case-by-case basis." "A bad man feels his death just as keenly as a good man." "What do you want from me here?" "Laura." "Just love someone." "Love." "You go." "You go." "You go to your rest now." "I'm not gonna be selfish anymore." "You go." "Rest." "No." "No, please, no." "Stop bleeding." "Stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding." "Okay, good." "Don't go." "All right, we've gotta get D'Anna to the control room." "No, that's not the plan." "What?" "What plan?" "Interesting." "Please don't go, Gaius." "Please..." "I don't know how..." "All right, put it in." "I have to take her directly to the president." "No one else." "That wasn't the deal." "I'm just doing what she told me to do, okay?" "Double dealing." "It's very human." "You never got that, Eight." "No more." "No more, don't go." "Please don't die." "Live, please." "Don't go." "I'm not saying I agree." "I'm saying it's my orders." "So I pretty much just made a prize fool of myself, didn't I?" "Trust." "Can we go find the president now?" "Gaius?" "Gaius, it's me." "The hub's been destroyed." "Good." "Don't let anyone in here, whatever it takes." "Thank you." "He's injured, but I think he's going to survive." "I think it's gonna be a long time jumping back." "I've got time." "Is that right?" "Well, you went to a lot of trouble to bring me here, deceiving your so-called allies." "I suppose you've got some questions for me." "Yes, I do." "I'd like to talk about the five Cylons in my fleet." "So you know about the Final Five." "I know they're supposed to know the way to Earth." "But you don't know that you're one of them?" "Look at your face!" "Oh, it's ridiculous!" "No, look, I'm not giving you any names." "Not until I feel like I'm safe." "'Cause information is all I got, sweetie." "I'm mortal now." "In fact, I'm the only Three in the whole darn universe, so I gotta worry about protecting myself." "I'll tell you who the Final Five are when you take me back to your fleet." "Oh, and by the way, Laura," "I would've said the same thing if you'd have met me with a whole lot of Cylons, 'cause I don't trust anyone right now." "So all this deception, complete waste of time." "To remove the pump with the attached hose and wiring, simultaneously release the three tangs while pulling the pump out of the retainer along with the line and wiring." "You lied to me." "Did I?" "I thought I was earning humanity's right to survive." "It's not a vending machine, Laura." "You don't save a life, and then... cue the celestial trumpets, 'here's the way to Earth.'" "I know." "Jump!" "Disorienting, isn't it?" "All these little limping steps back." "I like it." "I'm used to it." "Every jump brings us a little bit closer to home." "Galactica." "My home." "Maybe there's something there for me." "Maybe even closer." "Missed you." "Me too." "I love you." "About time." "Edited by rogard"
