PREVIOUSLY ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA …
(00:38 – 00:46)
Tigh: Where are you getting this stuff? Who’s your source?
Tyrol: I have no idea. The source won’t tell me what their name is. It’s probably safer for all of us.
(00:53 – 00:59)
Tyrol: We’ve got a signal.
Tigh: What’s it say?
Tyrol: “Have hope. We’re coming for you”.
(01:09 – 01:15)
Tigh: What’s our next target?
Tyrol: I got these today. They’re security plans for the graduation ceremony at the New Caprica Police Academy.
(01:22 – 01:29)
Tyrol: I don’t like this one, Colonel. I think we’re the ones crossing the line here.
Tigh: He’s a soldier, Chief. Not the first time we’ve sent a soldier on a one-way mission.
(01:33 – 01:35)
Tigh: No boundaries for the Cylons, there’s no boundaries for us!
(1) INT. INSURGENT BUNKER (06:08 – 07:33)
[Monitor reads: READY. WAITING FOR OPEN CHANNEL]
Tyrol: Did you hear? The Cylons cut food rations toady.
Anders: We heard. How long before the next Raptor transmission?
Tyrol: Two minutes. You know, they’re taking about shutting down the marketplace. It’s a security risk.
Tigh: We’ll shift targets.
Tyrol: You were gonna hit the marketplace. The market, full of civilians. This is crazy. You know, we need to figure out whose side we’re on.
Tigh: Which side are we on? We’re on the side of the demons, Chief. We’re evil men in the gardens of Paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.
[Rapid Beeping]
[Monitor reads: SECURE CHANNEL OPEN. FREQUENCY RESOLVED SECURE CHANNEL OPEN]
Tyrol: Contact. They’re ready for the sitrep.
[Tigh hands Tyrol a piece of paper]
Tigh: Send it twice, just to make sure.
[Tyrol types: 1150 ARMED EFFECTIVES. CYLON CRACKDOW]
(2) EXT. NEW CAPRICA CITY (NIGHT) (07:34 – 08:48)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****
Cavil: Here are the names of those to be arrested and sent to detention.
Jammer: I, uh… I know some of these people.
Cavil: I’m sure you do. They’re all insurgents, Jammer. We have to break the cycle of violence.
Jammer: (to group) Okay, suit up.
[They put on their balaclavas]
Cavil: (to group) You won’t have to wear those much longer. Eventually, your people will see you as heroes.
[Cavil leaves]
Jammer: (breathes deeply) Not tonight. (To NCP group, in night vision.) Take numbers five through ten, okay. They’re gonna be in tents to the right. Follow down to the end. The rest of you guys gotta keep quiet, okay?
[The New Caprica Police raid the tents and take Cally into custody. Baby Nicky is left crying in his crib]
(3) INT. TYROL’S TENT (NIGHT) (08:48 – 09:10)
[Tyrol walks into the tent. Baby Nicky is crying. He moves his flashlight around the tent and sees that Cally is not there. He rushes over to the baby and picks him up]
Tyrol: Hey, no, no, no. Shh, shh, shh, shh. I got you. I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there you go. Mommy’s coming back. It’s okay. It’s okay.
(4) INT. GALACTICA – ADAMA’S QUARTERS (09:56 – 11:23)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****
Helo: Their numbers are a little thin. It says here Tigh commands 1,150 armed effectives. That’s a lot less than he should have if you count all former Fleet officers and enlisted available down there.
Dualla: He could be taking heavy losses. They mentioned a Cylon crackdown.
Kat: We should get a breakdown of available pilots in the insurgent group. Somebody’s gotta fly those ships off the ground if we’re gonna pull this off.
Adama: Those ships aren’t going anywhere yet. “The Cylons have removed launch keys from grounded Colonial ships. Location unknown.” Came from Tyrol.
Kat: Can we manufacture new launch keys?
Apollo: Forget it. The specs on launch keys are incredibly sophisticated. It would take weeks just to do the R&D.
Adama: Best option is for Saul and the people on the ground to find the original launch keys.
Dualla: Assuming they weren’t destroyed.
Kat: No. No way. The Cylons would want to keep them safe just in case they needed to use one of those ships someday.
Helo: She’s right. Keys gotta still be there somewhere.
Kat: We can make a weapons drop to the insurgents. They know the lay of the land, they’ve been hitting the Cylons in the teeth for months. Given them the tools, they can kind the keys themselves.
Apollo: No. No way. The only thing you’ve got going for you so far is that the Cylons reduced their defense perimeter to just five baseships. You put heavy weaponry down there, they’re gonna know for sure that we’re in contact with the population. Call in ten more baseships and then your whole plan’s frakked.
Kat: (sarcastically) Funny, thought this was OUR plan, sir.
Adama: Moving on. The military plans you have in your hands are to be kept with you at all times.
(5) EXT. NEW CAPRICA CITY (11:23 – 12:27)
Tyrol: Why’d they pick her up? She hasn’t done anything. We’ve got a baby, for Godssakes.
Gaeta: I don’t know. I’ll try to find out.
Tyrol: How long are they gonna hold her?
Gaeta: Detention is run by a separate ministry. They don’t give us any reasons why they…
Tyrol: Godsdamnit, Felix! She hasn’t done anything. We’ve got a baby.
Gaeta: I know, Galen. I’m sorry.
Tyrol: How do you do it? How do you help them day after day? How do you look yourself in the mirror? I gotta get my son. Cameron’s watching him, but she’s got problems of her own.
[Tyrol turns to leave]
Gaeta: Chief! I’ll see what I can do. I’ll see if there’s something I can find out.
Tyrol: Why don’t you try and do something?
[Tyrol walks away]
(6) EXT. TYROL’S TENT (12:27 – 14:01)
NOTE: Dialogue missing from DVD/Bluray/streaming version. Full version aired on SciFi and available on AppleTV boxset.
[Jammer walking along the path. He picks up the toys from the crib mobile and flashes back to the raid when Cally was taken]
Cally: (voice over) Please! No! No!
[Tyrol approaches]
Tyrol: Hey, you okay? Jammer, what’s going on?
Jammer: Yeah. Yeah, I’m okay, Chief.
Tyrol: All right.
Jammer: Hey, uh… I heard about last night.
Tyrol: Shh. What?
Jammer: About Cally being on one of those lists.
Tyrol: Yeah.
Jammer: I’m really sorry.
Tyrol: Yeah. Frakkin’ human police, huh? Bunch of traitors if you ask me.
Jammer: Some of those guys who joined up, I bet they’re in over their heads, you know? Especially now with these suicide bombings and … At first, I bet you they thought they were doing something good. You know, get the Cylons off the streets. Let us police our own.
Tyrol: They’re a bunch of frakkin’ idiots. What did they expect? You don’t know any of those guys, do you? Any names?
Jammer: Names? No. No idea.
Tyrol: Damn.
Jammer: Well, what’s up with Cally? Why did they put her in detention?
Tyrol: I don’t know. She hasn’t done a Godsdamn thing. I just talked to Gaeta. Says he doesn’t know squat. Or so he says.
Jammer: Gaeta’s a good guy. If he knows something…
Tyrol: He’s a frakkin’ collaborator. You know what? one day when this is all over, guys like Gaeta are gonna get strung up. And guys like you and me, we’re gonna be there tying the knots. Making ’em tight.
[Tyrol leaves. Jammer’s eyes well up]
(7) EXT. NEW CAPRICA DETENTION CENTER (22:34 – 23:23)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****
Boomer: The detentions are just causing more resentment and more enemies. We’re losing ground with the people.
Caprica Six: I know. We don’t have another option. We have to send the message that suicide bombings won’t be tolerated.
[Jammer approaches them]
Jammer: Excuse me, sir. Can I talk to you for a moment?
Boomer: Yeah, sure, Jammer. (To Caprica Six) I’ll catch up with you.
Caprica Six: Okay.
Jammer: Sir, I don’t know exactly how to broach this, nor do I know exactly what I expect you to do about it. But, um, I thought, you know, since we were… Anyway, since we were back on the Galactica…
Boomer: Yeah, Jammer, just spit it out.
Jammer: We picked up Chief Tyrol’s wife in the last raid. Cally. She’s in detention. I think she’s on a list.
(8) INT. CALLY’S DETENTION CELL (25:28 – 26:58)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****
Boomer: Hi, Cally. It’s me, Boomer.
Cally: I wish I had a gun.
Boomer: (sighing Are you all right? Physically, I mean.
Cally: What do you want from me?
Boomer: Look, a lot’s happened. In everyone’s life. But I want you to know… I want you and Galen to know that… I’m happy for you. Especially since you started a family. Something that him and I talked about once before.
[Cally jumps up in her face]
Cally: Can you get me out of here?
Boomer: I don’t know. I have nothing to do with internal security…
Cally: Then frak you, Sharon, you stupid frakked-up toaster. How many times do I have to shoot you, anyway? If you can’t help me, then just go away and leave us alone!
(9) INT. INSURGENT BUNKER (35:01 – 36:57)
Tyrol: Tomorrow, the Galactica is gonna send two Raptors, several Marines, and a ground liaison officer is gonna help brief us on the rescue mission and help coordinate our evac plans.
Tigh: I’ll be damned. It’s really happening. Who is the liaison officer?
Tyrol: Sharon.
Tigh: I hope that’s your idea of a joke.
Tyrol: Admiral Adama has given her a uniform and a billet. She is a serving officer, which is more than you can say about us, technically speaking.
Tigh: The old man’s lost his mind, all right. Where’s the rendezvous?
Tyrol: Ah, they left that up to us.
Anders: (showing a map) Okay, here’s my suggestion. If they jump into Breeder’s Canyon out here in the southern range…
[Ellen knocks at the door. Anders folds up the map]
Tigh: Come.
Ellen: Hi, guys.
Tigh: Hey.
Anders: Ellen. (He unfolds the map) Anyway, like I was saying, if they jump in here, they won’t get picked up on Cylon dradis.
Tigh: That’s a long way out there, a lot of ground to cover by foot.
Anders: I realize that. I’m gonna meet them halfway, right about here. Now, there’s good cover from the air. It’s pretty isolated.
Tigh: I’ve gotta be sure. It may be the most important meeting we’re ever gonna have.
Anders: Colonel, I’m sure. This is the place. The Cylons will not find them here.
Tigh: All right, give me the map. You got the message memorized? All the wireless freqs? All right, then give me the message, too.
[Leans over to throw their notes and map in the fire; Ellen stops him]
Ellen: I’ll do that, Saul. Don’t get up.
[She takes them from him]
Tigh: Thanks.
[Ellen hides the map in her jacket and remains standing by the fire]
Anders: Colonel, I’ve assembled a team of about six to eight men and women about half a dozen times. We have provisions for a couple of days if we need ’em. We have access to running water. I know that place like the back of my hand. This is gonna work.
(10) OUTSIDE THE DETENTION CENTER (37:52 – 38:33)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****
[The detainees are being packed into transports]
Boomer: Killing Tyrol’s wife will only embitter him against us. He’s the head of a labor union, an organised faction…
Three: Come on, Sharon, let’s just be honest with one another. In your view, you don’t think there’s any reason to kill any of them, correct?
Boomer: Right.
Three: Well, we made a decision, all of us, just like when we listened to you and Caprica Six when we came here to start this new and glorious chapter in Cylon-human relations.
Boomer: This has nothing to do with whether or not we execute Cally.
Three: No one enjoys the thought of mortal death, Boomer. But she tried to murder you. Maybe it’s God’s justice.
(11) THE DETAINEE GROUP (43:18 – 44:16)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****
Jammer: (wearing his balaclava) You. Over here.
[Pulls Cally off to the side; cuts her zip cuffs]
Jammer: Run. Run, don’t look back. Go!
[She rolls down a steep bluff. Gets to her feet and runs. As she continues to run, Centurions appear over a hill and draw their guns on the detainees. Zarek pulls Roslin back into the group, the NCP and Cylons hide behind the trucks. Cally runs as the guns open fire]
