TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 4×20: Daybreak (Parts 2 & 3) (March 20, 2009)

(1) INT. GALACTICA – HYBRID ANDERS

Tyrol: They’re gonna have every gun trained directly on us as soon as we jump in. If we have any shot at this, we’re gonna have to interrupt their fire control systems.
Starbuck: And just how the hell is Sam supposed to help with that?
Ellen: If we can plug him into Galactica’s dradis, FTL and C3 systems, his mind should then be able to directly communicate with the colony’s Hybrids once we jump in.
Caprica Six: Theoretically, his mind should still be able to control their commands and slow down their response time.
Starbuck: Okay. Let’s do it, I guess.
Tyrol: There’s a catch. Routing hardware connections from all those systems all over the ship into this room is gonna take weeks. It’s a lot easier, faster if we just move him to the existing lines.
Starbuck: Okay, where’s that?
Tyrol: Well, the best place is the CIC.


(2) INT. GALACTICA – ADAMA’S QUARTERS

Adama: You’re out of your frakking minds.
Tyrol: It’s the best and fastest way to hook him up.
Adama: I’m not gonna hook up a Cylon into the CIC.
Starbuck: Admiral, it is the only way.
Adama: No. And that means no. I’m not crossing that line.
Starbuck: You had us all cross a line. Me, Sam, Lee, the President, everyone. We are out here on this crazy-ass mission because you couldn’t leave that little girl behind. It is time for you to cross that line. This ship, this precious hunk of metal, hooked up to a Cylon, that hits you where it hurts? It’s always everyone else sacrificing our blood, our lives, our honor, while you stand there on your high horse and we bleed around you. For you.
Tyrol: I’ll come back in a bit.
Adama: Chief. Hook Anders up to CIC.


(3) CIC

Adama: Let’s go around the horn.
(PA SOUNDING)
Tigh: This is the XO. All combat stations prepare to report. FTL.
Tyrol: Go.


(4) CIC

Adama: Action stations!
[ALARM BLARING]
Adama: Start the clock.
Tigh: Start the clock.
Tyrol: Jump on my mark. Five, four, three, two, one. Mark.


(5) CIC
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

Adama: All ahead, flank speed.
[Tyrol at console]
Adama: Three, two, one. Hit it!
Tigh: All hands brace for impact.


(6) CIC – Anders Goo bath

Tyrol: Sam. Sam, listen to me. You’re pushing too much energy through the ACS. You gotta back off, or you’re gonna blow the main bus, you hear me? Sam!
Anders: There are secrets within lies, answers within riddles. Lay off the ACS, you betcha, Galen. Open your mind and hear what your heart wants to deny. End of line.


(7) CIC – Anders Goo bath
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

[EXPLOSION]
Tory: Fire! We got a fire up here!
[Tyrol with fire extinguisher]


(8) CIC – Anders Goo bath


(9) CIC – Anders Goo bath


(10) CIC – Anders Goo bath
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

Roslin: What are they doing?
Adama: Each of them knows part of the secret to resurrection, and they’re gonna interact with the data flow in the water and… I don’t know. It’s a lot of complicated technical talk about sharing the information among the five of them and then transferring it over to the colonies somehow.
Ellen: Now, for a moment, we’re going to know everything there is to know about one another.
Tigh: I’m looking forward to that.
Tory: There are certain things that… That we’ve all done, certain things that people would be shocked to learn about.
Cavil: (shouting) Hey, I don’t mean to rush you, but you are keeping two civilizations waiting!
Tory: Let’s just all agree that no matter what we learn about each other, we’re all Cylons, and we’re all capable of making mistakes.
Tigh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re forgiven for all your dark secrets. Let’s do this.
[The each put a hand in Anders goo bath]
Cavil: Any word?
Simon: We’re getting the data now. It looks right. They’re downloading the resurrection designs now.
[Anders has flashbacks]
[Ellen has flashbacks]
[Tigh has flashbacks]
[Tory has flashbacks. They show that she airlocked Cally]
[Tyrol removes his hand from the goo bath]
[Anders & the Hybrid scream]
[Tyrol strangles Tory]
Simon: They’ve broken off the download!
Doral: It’s a trick! Open fire!
[GUNFIRE]
[Tyrol is still strangling Tory. Her neck snaps. He throws her to the floor]
[GUNFIRE]
Cavil: Frak! (puts his gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger]


(11) CIC – Anders Goo bath
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

[Amongst all the commotion. Tyrol is sitting on the floor]


(12) Earth

Ellen: You’re sure this is what you want, Galen?
Tyrol: Yeah, I’m sure. I’m just tired of people, humans, Cylons, whatever. Last Raptor out tomorrow is gonna drop me off on this island that I found off one of the northern continents. It’s cold. It’s up in the highlands. There’s no people.
[Ellen hugs him. Tigh shakes his hand]
Tigh: Good luck. For what it’s worth, if what happened to Cally had happened to Ellen, then I’d have done the same frakking thing.
[The two men hug. Tyrol walks away]
