"(Adama) 'In part one of Living Legend...'" "How did you survive?" "Maintain silence until we land aboard the Battlestar Pegasus." " Pegasus?" " Do you know whose ship that was?" "Cain, the greatest military commander that ever lived." "He was my idol." "A toast to our victory over the Cylons!" "(All) Hail!" "My old friend, the most we can hope to get from the Cylons is some fuel." " A military victory's out of the question." " What are you talking about?" "I've had them on their knees in this quadrant - with just one battlestar." "With two - ha!" " I'll finish them!" "You met my daughter." "Happy birthday, Father." "I love you." "If I'd met that young lady I'd know it." "She almost flew you right out of your britches." "Like father, like daughter." "Did you ever think maybe Sheba wanted to fill that role?" "She's my daughter." "I could be your daughter as well." "You could be... but you aren't." "Commander, with respect," "Blue Squadron was nowhere near when the tankers blew up!" "Nothing personal, Apollo." "You and your squadron handled yourselves as well as I've ever seen." "I wouldn't dream of attacking that Cylon base without you." " We're taking on the whole base?" " We don't have any choice." "Right now I need you and your tactical wizardry." "They used only three ships to wipe out our fleet at Caprica." "Surprise was on their side then." "This time, it might be on our side." "Pull out the Pegasus." "I'll bring it around and squeeze them in-between us." "This time, the Galactica hasn't a chance." "Concentrate our fighters on the landing bays." "Her warriors won't be able to refuel, reload, or land." "The Galactica is reporting heavy damage to her landing bays." "Bring her around 60 degrees." "We're going in." "Burn, Galactica." "You're finished, Adama!" " Sir, if I may..." " Not now." "I don't want to miss a moment of the last battlestar's destruction." "I really think you should look at the other battlestar." "What are you babbling about?" "It's impossible." "Turn, you fool!" "Turn!" "He's coming right for us!" "(Adama) 'And now... the exciting conclusion of Living Legend.'" "Sound the retreat." "Return to our base ships." "But we have not finished off the Galactica." "We're half out of fuel and those vipers are coming in fresh!" "Do it before they blast us out of the stars!" "Retreat, squadron, retreat." "(Boomer) They're retreating." "Retreat." "Commander Cain on the line, Father." "Thanks for the assist, Cain." "It didn't look too good for a while." "'It doesn't look too good now." "What've you got cooking on that bridge?" "'" "Everything's under control." "But I'd like to land my fighters on the Pegasus." "We need to repair our landing bays." "'My pleasure." "I suggest we call a council of war as quickly as possible." "'Those Cylons are in a state of shock but that won't last long.'" "Agreed." "We'll meet in 20 centons in my quarters." "'I'll be there.'" "The Cylons have three base ships confirmed, plus four squadrons from Gamoray." "We'd never survive such a united assault." "So." "Now is the time to knock out that base on Gamoray." "Go on the offensive when we're so badly outgunned?" "Yes." "It would take them by surprise." "He's right." "They won't expect us to attack their outer capital with three base ships stalking us." "Losing lives in exchange for that base goes against everything I believe in." "But we wouldn't lose any lives." "We'd completely overwhelm Gamoray." "Their anti-assault batteries are practically foolproof." "Yes." "But as you know, Cylons have no independent initiative." "Their control circuits are centralised." "So if we send in a small team to neutralise their anti-assault batteries, our squadrons can shut down the whole city." "Then we go in and keep on fighting until Gamoray is ours." "I must say this again." "We can't consider capturing that base." "All we can hope to gain from Gamoray is the fuel we need to elude those base ships." "As soon as they discover what we've done, they'll attack." "Our fuel landing teams would be vulnerable." "No question about it." "Once we secure the fuel base," "I propose that we withdraw one battlestar to delay those incoming base ships." "A single battlestar to fight off three Cylon base ships?" "Not fight off, delay." "I'll give the impression that we're leaving Gamoray, moving off." "I'll lead them away." "You seem to have decided it's to be the Pegasus that tackles those base ships." "The Galactica is still under repair." "I'd like you to meet me in my quarters." "What are you worried about?" "A repetition of the tanker incident?" "That's precisely what I'm worried about." "(sighs)" "Cain, I am a great admirer of your strategic genius." "But it's a history of individual initiative, not teamwork." "Nothing would please me more than taking Gamoray and running up our flag." "Do you fully comprehend the liability of a military confrontation while protecting 220 unarmed civilian ships?" "That's why I propose to use the Pegasus to divert those base ships away from you." "I just don't want any more surprises." " Then the mission is a go?" " I don't have a choice, do I?" "No." "Cain!" "Cain." "What's happening?" "I heard you're returning to the Pegasus." " That's right." " I was hoping we would talk." "And I hoped you'd say that." "But now is not the time, Cassie." " I could ride over in your shuttle." " No." " It'd be safer for you here." " Safer?" " Why?" "What are you going to do?" " It's a mission." "Don't worry." "I'll be all right." "I always come back." "I love you." "Apollo, what are our chances?" "We're walking right into a Cylon city." "You really want to know?" "That's what I thought." "Of course, any time you want to back out, Boomer..." "Uh-uh." "We're all in this together, my friend." "Now what's this?" "I checked out a little extra firepower." "I'm afraid we may need it." " Is this where we check in?" " For what?" "We've been assigned to the Galactica ground force." " By whose orders?" " My father's." "We're the only people here familiar with the target." "You've been there?" "No, but we've been over it many times and since we'll be making free-flight jumps, it might be nice for you to know where you're going." "Uh, no reflection on your ability but I'm puzzled at your father risking you on such a..." " One-way mission?" " Ah, ah, ah, ah." "No of fence, lady, but this kid doesn't go on one-way missions." " I'm sorry." "I was just being a realist." " Realist?" "If we were realists, we'd all be dead back on Caprica." " Where's the medtech?" " We're not taking one." "What?" "We won't have time to stop for the wounded." "We've got millicentons to get in and out." "OK." "It's my kind of mission - short." "I do see what you mean." "You're an optimist." "Mm-hm." "Would you like to make a little side bet that we come back?" " What's the side bet?" " Well, uh..." "Why don't we make it something real personal?" "Bad idea, Lieutenant." "You wouldn't want me throwing the mission just to avoid the bet." " Starbuck." " Cassiopeia." "I have to talk to you." "Er..." "Well, you picked a great time." "We're getting ready to launch." "That's why I want to talk." "I know about the jump." "Where are they sending Cain?" "I'm jumping into an inferno and you ask about Cain?" " He isn't planning on coming back." " Starbuck?" " Let's move." " Yeah, yeah." "I don't know what you heard about Cain but he's a survivor, he'll be back." " If that's what's worrying you." " Starbuck." "If Cain expected to survive, he'd have taken me aboard the Pegasus." " What are you saying?" " We're all in the same fix." " We'll get through." "Let's go." " No." "If he left her off of the ship, he must be planning something crazy." " I have to get back to the Pegasus." " You're with us." "Your father's orders." "He knows nothing about this, it was my idea." " I'll take her place." " You can't spot the Cylon base." "She can." "Where's your medtech?" "I don't see one." " We don't have one." " You do now." "With support troops like this, who needs Cylons?" "Shuttle standing by to launch to Gamoray." "Launch." "May the Lord be with you." "What is the latest intelligence?" "It is the consensus of the commanders of the two base ships that we should ask for help from the planet Gamoray." "Somehow I find the idea of some base commander on Gamoray taking credit for destroying the Galactica slightly annoying." "We did not do quite so well in battle this day." "We were taken by surprise, thanks to your so-called intelligence reports." "How many squadrons are on Gamoray?" "Four complete squadrons, the equivalent of a base ship." "In other words, we have the firepower of four base ships at our disposal?" " That is correct." " Prepare for a new attack." "Pegasus is under way right behind us." "They're nearing their drop zone." "A drop right into the heart of a Cylon capital." "How did we ever become so desperate?" "That's it." "Let's go." "Sheba, Bojay, we'll home in on you since you can spot the Cylon base." "Anybody ever told me I'd be jumping into the middle of the Cylon Empire..." "It is indeed an auspicious occasion." "How often does the Imperious Leader himself come all the way from Cylon?" "Attention, attention." "His Eminence the Imperious Leader will be with us shortly." "His ship has landed at the air dome." "These munition bunkers can be a diversion." "Should be easy to blow 'em sky-high." " Go!" " Yeah!" "Presenting His Eminence, our Imperious Leader." " Where are the others?" " This way." "OK, let's go." " Where's Bojay?" " We thought he was with you." "Halt." " Bojay!" " Sheba!" " Get out of here!" " This whole place is gonna blow up." " No!" "We've got to knock out those anti-assault batteries, now." "Let's go." "Can we do it?" "Just the two of us?" "We're gonna have to." "OK, let's go." "(Bojay gasps)" "All right, hold him still." "This will hurt but it'll stop the bleeding." " Can't you ease the pain?" " If I do, he won't be able to walk." " OK, come on." " Come on, it's your only chance." "Come on." "That's it." "My fellow Cylons, it is indeed a great honour to dedicate this southern centre of Cylon culture to the advance of, and perfection of, the Cylon race." "Where is everybody?" "With this secure outpost deep in the heart of the Krillian star system, our supremacy is all but assured." " Uh-oh." " What, pray tell, was that?" "There go the bunkers." "Find out, before I have you scavenged for spare parts." "Put me down." "I can't go any more." "Aah!" "Jeez!" "He's got to stop running." "There's great pressure on the sealed artery." " I'll stay with him." " No, you're needed with Apollo." " I'll watch Bojay." " She's right." "We haven't much time." " Here." "I hope you won't have to use this." " (Bojay groans)" "Just worry about the Galactica..." "and the Pegasus." "Let's go." "(Explosions continuing)" "Sheba!" "Let's go!" "Picking up sonic disturbances from the surface of Gamoray." " We're closing to launch range." " And well within their anti-assault range." " Do we launch?" " Not until the batteries are destroyed." "Long-range scanners are picking up an intrusion in our quadrant." "Scan for identification." "Alert ground-to-air stations and intercept aircraft." "(Explosions)" " Let's go." "There's too many of them." " What about the control centre?" " Did you find the control centre?" " We found it all right." "There!" "We are now within their scanner range." "They'll come after us with or without ground missile support." "Launch." "Notify the Pegasus." " The Galactica is launching." " At last." "Good!" "Good!" "It's almost too easy!" "Are our ships ready to launch the final assault against the Galactica and Pegasus?" " There is a problem." " I don't want to hear that." "We have them where we want them." "Now launch." " But they aren't where we want them." " What do you mean?" "They are over Gamoray." " What?" " Blowing the pogees out of it, if reports coming in are accurate." "The fact that Gamoray is being attacked... is perfect!" "It means the Colonial fleet is completely unprotected." "Launch a killer force at once." "Did you hear me?" "I said destroy the fleet!" "There's a special envoy on Gamoray." "It is headed by our Imperious Leader, there to dedicate the new base." "Imperious Leader is on Gamoray?" "I wonder what he'll think when he finds the base on which he is standing is being destroyed by two ships you had within your grasp only this morning." " This is unbelievable." " We must defend our leader." "Yes." "Send everything we have to destroy those two battlestars and let not a single ship return until that's accomplished!" "(footsteps)" "Don't shoot!" " How's Bojay?" " He needs to get to the life station." "Two shuttles are on the way down." "Boomer's at the landing area." "Let's go." "Commander, Captain Apollo reports that the fuel depot is secured." " Oh, good." " We'll send tankers, recall our fighters." "Have the fighters rearmed immediately." "The Cylon base ships will throw everything at us." "Sheba!" "Take him." " Starbuck, see you in a couple of centons." " Wait!" "Wait!" "If you think I'll stay here and miss all the fun, you're crazy." "Hey!" "Wait." "That's not the Galactica we're heading for, that's the Pegasus." " (Pilot) Orders." " From whom?" "From me." "It's a medical emergency, Captain, and the Pegasus is nearer." " We're cleared to land." "Shall I go in?" " Go in." "Starbuck." "I just want you to know that... um... it is Bojay I'm thinking of." " I know." " That doesn't mean that..." "I've decided." "Hey." "Hey, I know that too." "Everyone's entitled to a little confusion in their lives." "I practically thrive on it." "Sir, long-range scanners pick up an unbelievable number of enemy craft." " Prepare coordinates to intercept." " You mean hit and run?" " I mean intercept, go through them." " Through them?" "Yes." "Straight through their task force to Baltar's base ship." "Yes, sir." "And when Baltar figures out that you're after his hide, he'll recall his forces attacking Gamoray." "It's a good plan, sir, if it works." "My plans always work." "What are you doing on the Pegasus?" "It was the closest battlestar to return to with the wounded." " How bad was it down there?" " Bojay took a hit but your daughter and Cassiopeia are fine." "My daughter and Cassiopeia?" " They were on that mission?" " Like father, like daughter, sir." "Anyway, congratulations." "Your mission was a big success." "They didn't get one ship off the ground and we didn't lose anybody." "How is Bojay?" "That depends upon this plan of yours, sir." "The idea was to divert Baltar, not attack him head-on!" "Strategy, Captain, strategy." "Bojay will be shuttled off to the fleet as soon as we get past Baltar's task force." "Don't you mean if we get by?" "We're outgunned three to one." "We've got to move out if we're to intercept Baltar's ships." "If you're leaving, this is your last chance." "The Galactica's landing bays are damaged, so my squadron is here." "I hope you realise how many brave young warriors" " might not survive a head-on clash." " I'll put it to them on a voluntary basis." "My men are no different from yours." "They think of you as a legend." "I do know how to win a battle." "Yes." "But what about your warriors?" "Are you thinking of them when you take on three base ships?" "Or are you thinking of history?" ""The Legend of Commander Cain"!" "You're out of line, Captain." "Full speed ahead, Colonel." "I just wanted to remind you that your own daughter will be out there with us." "Tell me it isn't true." "Three base ships head-on?" "It's true." " Is he crazy?" " A little." "Gives him his advantage." "Who'd think of anything like this but Cain?" "Thanks for getting me back alive." "You're quite a lady." "He can talk but not too long." "I hear we closed them down good." "Yeah, we really spoiled their party." "I got another one to go to, so I'll see you as soon as I get back." "I wish I could go with you." "I promise I'll tell you all about it." "Cassiopeia..." "Sheba." "Sheba." "Sheba, wait." "Sheba, wait." "I can't, we're launching." "We have three-to-one odds but you know that." "I want you to shuttle Bojay back to the fleet." "I'm sorry, what you plan for my squadron, you plan for me." "(Alarm sounds)" "Look, there's one more thing - about that lady, the one that seems to mean so much to you." "I watched her save a life today and she risked her own to do it." "So what do I know about people?" "Oh, I love you, baby." "And I want to see you again, so you be careful." "You too, Commander." " Cylon force closing. 20 microns." " Launch defence force." "Fighters taking up a spearhead in front of the Pegasus." "They are heading directly for us." "Commence firing." " Starbuck?" " Yo." " So many of them, you can't miss." " Yeah." "But I just lost Bunker and Taggs." "Laser fire's so thick you could walk on it." "Our fighters blew a clean corridor through their forces but they're coming from all sides." "Straight ahead!" "Full speed!" "A report from our task force." "One battlestar has been sent out to intercept them." "Destroy it, then continue on." " It should take no time at all." " By your command." "The Battlestar Pegasus is not stopping to engage us." "Impossible." "That is why she is here." "Pursue and destroy." " Another report." " The lone battlestar is destroyed and our forces are on their way to Gamoray." " Not exactly." " What's happened?" "The Pegasus and her warriors did not engage our fighters." "Did not engage?" "But that's..." "Oh, of course... they're a decoy." "They intend to lead our fighters off, make them pursue and burn off fuel, while Gamoray remains under attack." " A very clever plan." " But I see right through it." "Break off the attack." "Continue our fighters towards Gamoray." "We'll finish off the Galactica and then return for the Pegasus after we've saved our Imperious Leader." "She's on fire." "We've got to go back and help her out." "Cain's orders were to punch a hole through for the Pegasus." "There isn't going to be a Pegasus." "You're right." "Let's go." " Sheba, are you all right?" " I don't think so." "(Sheba) I'm pretty badly shot up." "I'm gonna move in front of you now." "Just follow me in." "(Apollo) We're boarding the Pegasus." "Thanks, Apollo." "I just hope the Pegasus is still around when you get there." "We can destroy the Pegasus." "'By order of the Imperious Leader through his commander, Baltar, 'you are to disengage at once and move to Gamoray 'to save our Imperious Leader.'" "Disengage Pegasus and proceed to Gamoray." " Boomer." " I see it but I don't understand it." "He was right." "By all the Lords, he was right again." " Say again?" " Later." "Let's see how bad off the Pegasus is." "Fuel loading is almost complete." "They should take off within 30 centons." "Sir, a large body of incoming ships from Delta Sector." " Unmistakably Cylon." " Cain's plan didn't work." "We can't leave the fuel ships there." "They aren't going to be fast, even once they're launched." "Notify ground teams to prepare to launch." "How is he?" "He'll live." "I'm not so sure about all the others." "Tell me, are you winning?" "You make it sound like my own personal war." "Sheba!" "Baby." "I'm sorry, Father." "I missed one." "(Cassiopeia) Into chamber four." "What happened?" "How was she hurt?" "Like she said, she missed one." "The Cylon didn't." "The Pegasus?" "ls the fire under control?" " She'll be ready to do the job." " Uh, what job?" "Whatever she has to do." "Is he thinking of doing what I think he is?" "Yeah." "And you know what bothers me?" " We're starting to think just like him." " What's going on here?" "Get every one of your wounded into shuttles, and fast." "Telemetry coming through is confusing." "According to our information, the Pegasus is on a direct course towards the Cylon base ships." "He must have changed course when he failed to lead the fighters away." " If he ever attempted to." " But that was the plan." "No." "No, that was our plan." "It was never his." "Priority communication." "High-scan scrambler." "Get me Commander Cain, please." "Pegasus coming in on communicator, sir." " 'Yes, Adama?" "'" " Cain, what is your present course?" "'You wouldn't ask if you didn't already know.'" "Yes, I do know, and I want you to reverse course immediately." "You're steering into the Cylon base ships." "You'll kill everyone aboard the Pegasus." "'It's all been arranged." "'Non-essential personnel are being transferred to the fleet." "'They'll get there when you're back from Gamoray.'" " That won't help your crew." " 'If my plan works, 'those Cylon fighters approaching you will soon turn back." "'Hopefully, there won't be a base ship left for them to land on.'" "Cain, listen to me." "You could achieve the same thing if you veer away from those base ships at the last centon." "Don't attempt to take them on." "'No." "Those fighters will be able to refuel and go after your fleet." "'No." "I'll get rid of those base ships somehow.'" "You realise I can relieve you of your command?" "'Adama, please." "Don't make my last battle an act of mutiny." "'Send me in with your blessing.'" "My prayers go with you and all who serve you." "'Thank you, Adama." "Thank you.'" "If the Pegasus did not head back to the Galactica or across the stars where is she heading?" "Directly towards us, Your Eminence." "Towards us?" "But that's absurd." "He's allowing us to destroy the Galactica and the fleet." "Who would do such a thing?" "May I suggest the legendary Commander Cain?" "Yes." "Yes, Cain, of course." "Cain!" "What does he care about the fleet or the Galactica?" "He wants..." "He wants..." "He wants me!" "Lucifer, recall our fighters at once!" "(Tigh) Sir." "The incoming Cylon fleet has turned and is headed back the other way." "Cain is attacking all three base ships on his own." "That's exactly what he said he'd do." "Apollo." "Starbuck." "Good luck." "You're both fine warriors." "Between us, we'll get your people to safety." "I know you will." "That's why I'm trusting you with them." "Commander, there are those of us that don't have a lot of... attachments." "At least I don't, and I'd like to see this one through with you to the end." "I appreciate your offer, Starbuck, but if I'm right, Baltar's fighters are on their way back." "And if they run into our shuttles," "Apollo will need all the help he can get." "What about you?" "Without fighters..." "They don't have any fighters right now either." "But they do have weaponry." "So does the Pegasus." "Good luck, sir." "Apollo, why do I have the feeling we'll never see him again?" "I don't know cos I don't have that feeling." "I can't explain why, because there's no military way he can survive." "(Sighs) But that's been the story of his whole career." "Father, please don't make me go." "I don't want to leave you." " You must go, sweetheart." " No, I know I'll be OK." " Take her." "The shuttles are ready to go." " I'll be fine." "No!" "(Sheba) I'll see you soon." "You're a very special man, Cain." "(Tearfully) I'll never forget you." "(Tolen) 'Final countdown to launch.'" "Launch shuttles and fighter protection." "(Tolen) All ships launched." "Range to base ships?" "(Tolen) 110 centons." "Moving down to 11 centons at full speed." "All right, Tolen, let's get there." "We've got an appointment with a man named Baltar." "How long before our fighters can return to defend us?" "I'm afraid the Pegasus will reach us first." "Then drop back." "Let the other two base ships intercept the Pegasus." "I'm not sure the other commanders will like that." "It isn't a request." "It's an order." "Two base stars coming up on range." "The third is behind them." "Baltar's ship." "Plot a course between those two forward ships." " It's going to get sticky in there." " Arm all air-to-air missiles and bring electronic defence shields to maximum power." "Apollo, according to my scanner, our vector will take these shuttles well away from the Cylons." "That's the idea." "We can't lead them to the civilian ships." "That means they don't really need our protection." "What's one more viper?" "Or two more, if you get my meaning." "I get your meaning." "You're talking about violating orders." " Whose?" " Cain's." "How can we be accused of violating orders when Cain isn't following them himself?" " Somehow that makes sense to me." " Good." "Are you with me?" " Boomer?" " Yo." "You're in command." "Starbuck and I want to check out our rear flank." " How far to our rear?" " Don't ask too many questions." "That's what I thought." "Good luck." "Commander, two vipers are approaching from behind at just sub-light speed." "Who is it?" "What are they up to?" "Identify." "Pegasus closing to target range." "Two base ships directly ahead." "The shield." "There they are." " He intends to go between them." " Knock out their missile launchers." " I'll take the ship on the right." " I got the other one." "Vipers are on strafing runs on base ships directly ahead." "Vipers against base ships?" "They're going for the flank-side missile launchers." "They're clearing a path for us between the ships." "It's nice in here." " If they fire, they hit each other." " We can't stay in here." "We'd better make it count." "Scanner reports heavy damage to base ships." "Good." "Let's go right between them and finish them off." "Stand by all missiles for point-blank launch!" "Even their shields won't help them." "Closing on blank range." "Ten, nine six, five two, one." "Fire missiles!" "Starbuck, let's get out of here." "The Pegasus is launching her missiles." "Did you see that?" "I can't see anything but spots." "I've never seen a flash like that." "Can you see the Pegasus?" "No." "There's too much smoke and debris." "(Sighs) What do we do now?" "(Apollo) Here comes their entire attack force." "We have no choice." "We go home - as fast as we can." "Not too long." "She needs to build back her strength." " Any word?" " No." "But that's nothing to be concerned about." "Your father wouldn't break radio silence and reveal his position." "Thank you for trying... but what are the odds he survived?" "All those fighters and a base ship..." "What were the odds when we thought you were lost two yahrens ago?" "As far as I'm concerned, he headed out into deep space just like last time." "The Cylons couldn't have followed far with empty fuel cells." "They'd flown a long way already." "He's right, you know." "In the meantime, until your father does communicate with us," "I want you to consider yourself part of our family." "I already do."
