(1) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (12:28 – 14:05)

[Tyrol is inspecting a viper]
Kat: Gods, Chief, we’ve already run this up twice.
Tyrol: Yeah, but something doesn’t feel right.
Kat: What?
Tyrol: Something doesn’t feel right.
Kat: Well, hurry up.
[Tyrol finds a tube out of place and removes it, spraying oil everywhere]
Tyrol: Oh, gods!
Kat: Great! Oh, that’s fantastic. That’s just great.
Tyrol: I knew it. How the hell did I miss that?
Kat: Maybe if your knuckledraggers spent more time on maintenance, less time frakking around.
Tyrol: This knuckledragger just saved your ass, sir.
Kat: Why don’t you say that a little louder, Chief? I don’t think the camera heard you.
Tyrol: You know what? Frak the camera. You’ve been riding my…
Kat: Don’t even try defending…
Tyrol: …for no frakking reason!
[They argue and yell at each other]
Starbuck: Knock it off! Knock it off! Chief, fix the ship.
Kat: Yeah, fix the ship.
Starbuck: Hey!
Kat: What? What?
Starbuck: Hey! Enough! Chief, fix her ship. You, get the hell outta here now.
Kat: Get the camera outta my face.
[Kat throws a temper-tantrum and kicks some equiptment on her way out]
Starbuck: She has been pissing me off all week.
Apollo: What the hell’s going on?
Starbuck: I’m taking her off rotation till she gets her head rewired. I mean-
Apollo: Uh-uh, can’t do it. We need the pilots. Besides, if I scratched everyone who… popped off at the Chief, the cooks would be flying the missions.
Starbuck: Son of a bitch. Did you get all that? You happy?
Apollo: Come on. Come on, walk away. Walk away.


(2) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (16:05 – 17:20)

[A raptor is being preped to leave for the Cloud 9 with Tigh]
Tyrol: Three. There’s three. So, you got lots.
Starbuck: Good luck, Colonel. Have fun on Cloud Nine.
Tigh: You bet. (sarcastically)
Fuzzy: Iniating pre-flight
[The doors close, and suddenly smoke starts fuming from the raptor hatch]
Fuzzy: What’s going on?
Racetrack: Abort launch! Everybody out, now!
Tyrol: Everybody back! Get back, now! Fire team. Get the fire team in here now!
Tigh: What’s going on?
Tyrol: The main buss is totaled. Looks like somebody took a hammer to it. If this had blown in transit, the cabin would have vented to space.


(3) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (26:45 – 27:37)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

Apollo: What the hell happened? Kat’s made the trap 100 times.
Starbuck: Yeah, I guess 101 was a real bitch, huh?
[Kat is freaking out, and it takes several people to restrain her]
Kat: No! Let go of me! Lemme go!
Starbuck: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, Kat! It’s Starbuck. You’re okay. You’re home.
Kat: Home? Home is dead! We gotta get outta here! They’re gonna kill us! We gotta get outta here!
[Starbuck finds stims in Kat’s pockets]
Starbuck: What are these? Stims?
Kat: Please, don’t… Please don’t touch it.
Starbuck: Hey!
Apollo: Hey! Hey!
Kat: Let go! Aaah! No! Let go! Let go! Uh! Let go! Let go of me! We’re gonna die! We’re gonna–
Starbuck: Get my pilot to sick bay now!
Kat: Oh, please, don’t take me! Oh, please–
Apollo: Stims. And by look of her, she’s been taking them by the handful.
Starbuck: Hey! (puts hand over camera)


(4) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (31:52 – 32:09)

[The Vipers are being manned and readied for launch]
Tyrol: Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! Move, move! Clear this deck, get this outta here!
Hotdog: What’s the sitrep?
Starbuck: Two bandits, coming hard.
Apollo: Just keep your eyes open and follow us.
Tyrol: All right, let’s go. Let’s get the birds in the holes. Let’s move ’em out. Get this ladder outta here. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. Move back, get this hose out of here.


(5) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (32:41 – 32:48)

Tyrol: Copy that. All right, people, that’s it. Last bird’s away. Let’s clear the nest. Get this deck ready for recovery. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. Move, move!


(6) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (33:00 – 33:05, 33:25 – 33:31, 33:50 – 33:54, 34:08 – 34:19)

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 2×09: Flight Of The Phoenix (September 16, 2005)

Written By: Bradley Thompson & David Weddle
Directed By: Michael Nankin


(1) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (01:25 – 01:46)

Tyrol: Viper two-eight-niner. So how we feeling today?
[Tyrol starts inspecting the Raptor for damage, and sees a lot of problems]
Tyrol: Ahhh, great.


(2) INT. GALACTICA – OFFICER’S MESS
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE ***** (01:46 – 02:52)

Duck: (about Helo) So, he’s the Cylon lover?
Starbuck: You know what? I don’t care who or what he fraks. He saved my ass down there, all right?
Duck: How could anyone fall in love with a toaster, though?
Starbuck: Same way I hear everyone was high-fiving our Sharon right before she put two in Adama’s chest. The bastards frak with your head.
Hotdog: Yeah. Just ask the Chief.


(3) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (02:52 – 03:48)

[Tyrol continues his inspection. The scene is mixed with his memories of sensual moments with Boomer]
Tyrol: I knew it.
[He finds a serious problems and labels the viper as scrap]
Tyrol: I need a drink.


(4) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM (03:48 – 04:22)

[Cally’s welcome back party, complete with mason jar booze!]
[Applause]
Seelix: Tanned, rested and ready. Look at you.
Cally: Rested, anyway. Nothing to do but eat and sleep in the can. (to Jammer) Hey. (gives him a hug)
Jammer: “Unauthorized discharge of a firearm”? What a bogus charge.
Figurski: They should have given you a medal for popping that toaster.
[Tyrol walks into the room]
Cally: Chief, I heard that you went to bat for me.
Tyrol: Forget it.
Cally: I want you to know…
Tyrol: Forget it. I need all the knuckledraggers I can get.


(5) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (near and in a raptor) (04:22 – 04:49)

Tyrol: Sharon flew 47 missions in this thing. Still couldn’t trap a landing worth a damn. Had to bend her undercarriage back into place after every landing.
Helo: Approaches made her nervous. She was afraid you’d be watching.
Tyrol: I usually was.


(6) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (05:47 – 07:45)

Helo: Look, Chief. I never intended for Sharon and I… You know, it just kind of evolved.
Tyrol: Just a couple lovesick kids, huh?
Helo: I know how she felt about you. Okay? She loved you.
Tyrol: Did she fill you in on the rest of the plan? She and I were going to muster out at the end of our service. You know? That we would get married. Maybe WE would have children. I guess I’m just a big frakking idiot, though, huh? Probably that godsdamn toaster’s plan all along.
Helo: Don’t call her that.
Tyrol: Sucker some moron into giving her a kid. Hey, you know, but you know what? I should probably be grateful to you. Probably be grateful. You know why? Because that freak in her belly could have been mine.
[Helo pushes Tyrol down the Raptor wing]
Helo: Hey, you okay? Sorry.
Tyrol: Son of a-
[Tyrol punches him. Helo tries to end the fighting]
Helo: That’s enough, Chief!
Tyrol: You don’t get to call it.
[They continue brawling]
Helo: Enough!
Tyrol: Come on, you damn toaster lover!
[Tyrol has Helo pinned on his back. He is about to slam his head in with a wrench, but comes to his senses]
Tyrol: I don’t even know why I’m mad at you. My Sharon’s dead. That thing in the brig, that isn’t Sharon.


(7) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (10:42 – 11:24)

Apollo: Hey, Chief, where’s two-eight-niner? I need her for drills today.
Tyrol: Ship’s grounded, sir.
Apollo: What? For how long?
Tyrol: Permanently. We’re salvaging what we can, but it’s gone.
Apollo: Damn it, I need that ship online.
Tyrol: What can I tell you, Captain? Engine mounts are shot. cockpit seals are cracked. If it was a horse, they’d shoot it.
Seelix: Got something, Chief.
Apollo: Chief Come on, work with me here. I need your help.
Tyrol: What do want me to do, work my crew to death?
Apollo: No. Just do your best. Nobody’s expecting any miracles.
Tyrol: Maybe that’s the problem.


(8) INT. GALACTICA – ENLISTED QUARTERS (11:24 – 11:35)

Tyrol: (in his head) Frak it. Why not?


(9) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (11:35 – 13:04)

[Tyrol starts assembling the frame for a new Raptor]
Jammer: What’s going on, Chief?
Tyrol: All right, here’s the deal. WE are going to build a new fighter.
Jammer: (snickers) What about the rest of the ships? I’m three days backlogged on repairs as is.
Tyrol: Strictly an off-duty project. Nobody takes one minute away from regular maintenance and repairs. You got it? (pause) You don’t think we can do this?
Jammer: I wouldn’t even know how to begin.
Figurski: What else is new?
Jammer: Oh, screw you. Okay, he’s talking about fabricating a frame, avionics, life support. It’s frakkin’ impossible.
Tyrol: You know what, then? Forget you. I don’t need you.
Cally: Chief, wait. It’s not like that.
Tyrol: I said forget it. Get back to work. That’s an order.


(10) INT. GALACTICA – FIRING RANGE (14:11 – 17:55)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

[Apollo, Starbuck and Hotdog are firing at target sheets with Boomer’s face as the head]
Starbuck: Someone’s a tad aggressive.
Apollo: Just shut up and shoot.
Starbuck: My gods, between you and Racetrack, it’s like… Having a conversation is like walking through a minefield.
Apollo: And you’re the last person who should be lecturing me about manners.
Starbuck: From what I hear, you’ve also been riding Chief Tyrol pretty good.
Apollo: Press it. I just reminded him that I expect Viper maintenance to take precedence over his hobby project.
[Oxygen levels starts to drop]
Starbuck: Nice! I’m surprised he didn’t take a swing at you.
Apollo: Come on, Starbuck. You don’t actually think that piece of junk’s gonna actually fly, do you?
Starbuck: (laughs) 50 cubits says he gets it in the air.
Apollo: Yeah? And who’s gonna fly it? It’s not gonna be me.
Hotdog: Don’t look at me.
Apollo: I wasn’t looking at you. (Starbuck starts laughing) What?
Starbuck: I’ll fly it. I’ll fly it.
Apollo: You?
Starbuck: Me.
Apollo: Why?
Starbuck: Because… while everyone else is standing around whining…
Apollo: We’re whining?
Starbuck: The Chief is doing something positive.
Apollo: I’m deeply moved.
Starbuck: Really?
Apollo: Honestly, I am.
[Hotdog collapses]
Starbuck: (laughs)
Apollo: (laughs)
Starbuck: His lips are blue. (whispering) You look like a blueberry.
Apollo: There’s no oxygen in here. There’s no oxygen in here. There’s no oxygen.
[Apollo bodyslams against the door but it won’t open]
[Starbuck finds her guns and starts firing at the hatch window, and misses]
Starbuck: I’m empty.
[Apollo loads an explosive round and fires at the window. It explodes allowing air into the room]
Starbuck: Nice shot.


(11) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (19:11 – 20:07)

[Tyrol trying to attach a heavy wing]
Tyrol: (grunting) Oh come on. Come on. For fraks sakes. Son of a bitch! Gods damnit.
[Figurski approaches to help Tryol]
Tyrol: I got it; go back to work.
Figurski: It’s a two-man job, Chief. You want this wing up or not?
Tyrol: On three. One, two, three.
[Jammer joins in to help]
Tyrol: Great, great. Hold it there. Hold it there.
[Adama is watching from the catwalk]


(12) INT. GALACTICA – CIC (20:07 – 20:49)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Dualla: Sir? We’re continuing to experience power spikes and equipment failures across the ship.
Adama: Thank you.
Tigh: We’d better up our alert status and put our damage-control teams on stand-by.
Adama: Not yet. (beat) Have you seen this ship that the Chief is building?
Tigh: His imaginary fighter? I don’t need to see it to know it’s a waste of time.
Adama: The deck crew doesn’t seem to think so.
Tigh: We need to focus on the fleet we’ve got left, not get bogged down in some pipe dream. We should shut it down.
Adama: It may come to that. But this project, it’s giving them something. I’m not going to take that away… until I have to.


(13) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL (21:57 – 22:22)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Helo: Do you have actual memories of being with the Chief before the cylon attack?
Athena: Yeah. I’m sorry. You asked.
Helo: Do you still love him?
Athena: Helo. You’re the father of my child. You’re the first in my heart. And nothing is ever going to change that.


(14) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (23:44 – 24:39)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Apollo: Well, I hate to say it, but you’ve got the cockpit too far back. You’re gonna run into CG problems when you maneuver.
Starbuck: We’re not going for maneuverability, Captain. We’re going for speed. Besides, you didn’t think this thing would fly anyway.
Apollo: Well, it sure as hell won’t with the cockpit rammed up its a– Dee?
Dualla: Hey.
Apollo: What are you doing here?
Dualla: Communications, I think. Chief’s great with the hydraulics, but this comm system’s a mess.
Figurski: Ten hut.
Tigh: Had to see this with my own eyes. Won’t be long before we have the whole CIC down here. You working on this class project too, Apollo?
Apollo: No.
Tigh: It’s good to see someone has a little sense. Where’s the Chief?, Tool room?
Starbuck: Ah, getting some rack time, sir.


(15) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM (24:39 – 25:59)

Tigh: What’s this, Chief?
Tyrol: Making solvent, sir. To clean engine parts.
Tigh: Solvent my ass. I know a still when I smell it. What the hell are you up to?
Tyrol: I need booze to trade for parts. I’m scrounging most of what I can from the fleet, but I need engines. I know I need Commander Adama’s permission to cannibalize one of the wrecks.
Tigh: Engines or not, we both know that piece of crap out there is never going to fly.
Tyrol: I gotta try, Colonel.
Tigh: What’s the point?
Tyrol: Because that ship, the work, that’s all I’ve got left. I don’t have that, I…
Tigh: I almost forgot. I promised the XO of the Baah Pakal I’d help him out.
Tyrol: Sir?
Tigh: He’s got some obsolete DDG-62 engines that’s taking up space on his flight deck. They’re probably crap, but I told him that I would have a crew in there to haul ’em out as soon as possible.
Tyrol: Glad to be of help, sir.
Tigh: Good.
[Tigh takes a jar of alcohol and leaves]


(16) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (35:38 – 36:18)

[Tyrol is having trouble connecting a wire in a tight place. Cally helps him]
Cally: There you go, Chief.
Tyrol: Nice to be small, huh? Ship’s got more than one engine. Get to it.
Starbuck: We are so damn close. There has got to be some extra metal lying around that we can use to skin this thing. Floorboards, extra bulkheads, something.
Tyrol: Most of it’s ticketed for viper repair.
Helo: Who says you need metal?


(17) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (36:18 – 36:26)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

[The blackbird is completed. It’s black and angular much like a stealth fighter]
Apollo: Carbon composite.
Starbuck: Good call, Helo.
Apollo: It’s gonna be hard as hell to see on dradis, but the question is, will it fly?
Starbuck: Just watch me.


(18) INT. GALACTICA – LAUNCH BAY (36:26 – 36:56)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

Starbuck: Instruments… in the green. Fuel pressure… nominal.
Dualla: Apollo, Starbuck. Blackbird flight is cleared for launch.
Starbuck: Run-up.
Kelly: Maglock secure, initiate launch sequence.
Starbuck: Oh, don’t blow up on me, you bastard.
Kelly: Clear for launch.
[The blackbird launches]
Dualla: Blackbird is away.


(19) SPACE (36:56 – 38:45)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

[Starbuck is having some difficulty keeping the Blackbird flying straight. It looks like she’s showing off]
Apollo: Hey! Hey. Will you take it easy? Start slow. You’re testing the ship. It’s not about the pilot showing off.
Starbuck: Who’s showing off.
Apollo: Gods damn it, what is this? What are you trying to prove?
Starbuck: I’m not trying to prove anything. You’ve got to be kidding me. Whoo! Oh, lords. Okay. Let’s see what this baby can do. (screams) Yaa-ha-ha-ha!
[Starbuck gains control of the ship. She presses the throttle and dissappears]
Apollo: Starbuck, where are you? Starbuck, do you hear me? Starbuck! She’s gone. Galactica, Apollo, I’ve lost her. I’ve lost her.
Dualla: No dradis contact.
Apollo: Starbuck, Starbuck, where are you? Starbuck, come in. Starbuck, do you read? Kara, are you okay?
Starbuck: Of course you lost contact. It’s a damned stealth ship, remember?
[The blackbird appears directly in front of Apollo’s viper]
Apollo: Oh, you-
Starbuck: (laughs)
[Everyone erupts into applause]


(20) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (38:50 – 42:01)

[Blackbird christening ceremony]
Figurski: Commander on deck.
Adama: As you were.
Roslin: Chief Tyrol? This is the Blackbird?
Tyrol: Yes, ma’am. Madam President, this is an honor.
Roslin: No, the honor’s mine. It’s remarkable.
Tyrol: Just a ship, ma’am.
Roslin: Oh, you’re much too modest. After what we’ve been through, it would be very easy to give up, to lose hope. But not here. Not today. This is more than a ship, Chief. This is an act of faith. It is proof that despite all we’ve lost, we keep trying. And we will get through this, all of us, together. I promise.
[Meanwhile the crew are signing the engine to show that they helped build the Blackbird]
Tyrol: Commander.
[Tyrol hands Adama a bottle of sparkling wine]
Tyrol: Uh, Madam President. This was supposed to be a surprise, but ahhh, well-
[Tyrol pulls a sheet revealing that the Blackbird has been named “Laura”. Roslin is in tears]
Roslin: Thank you.
Adama: If you’ll do us the honors, Madam President.
Roslin: Of Course, Okay.
Tyrol: Whoa!
Roslin: (Laughter) Kidding.
Racetrack: (to Helo) Hell of an idea, using carbon composites.
[She shakes Helo’s hand. Other pilots and crew follow suit]
Duck: It was a good job.
Seelix: Nice work.
Roslin: That was lovely.
Adama: They wanted to do that for you.
Roslin: Thank you. None of this would have been possible if you hadn’t trusted the cylon.
Adama: I took your advice, met on common ground.
Roslin: What was that?
Adama: We both wanted to live.


(21) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL (42:01 – 42:55)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

The episode ends with Tyrol visiting Athena’s cell. The both pick up a phone to talk to one another. We don’t see/hear the conversation.

Directed By: Michael Rymer


(1) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (08:02 – 11:24)
(08:09, 08:13 – 08:17, 08:26 – 08:28, 08:37 – 08:38, 09:16 – 09:17, 09:29 – 09:31, 10:44 – 10:46, 10:57 – 11:03)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

[Galactica crew in Hangar Bay to welcome the crew of the Pegasus]


(2) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (ADDITIONAL SCENE) (24:39 – 25:08)

Tyrol: Cally, get a wrench (Cally hands him a wrench). Thanks.
Cally: Chief. Chief, take a look at this.
Tyrol: Are these spare parts?
Cally: (reading from note) “For our fellow Knuckledraggers on the Galactica. Courtesy of the Pegasus Deck Gang”
Tyrol: Cally, I’m starting to like that ship.


(3) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (27:02 – 28:16)

[Laird is inspecting the blackbird]
Tyrol: Twenty-five opto-electronic transducers.
Laird: That is one ugly baby.
Tyrol: Excuse me?
Laird: Do you mind if I take a look around? I’m Laird, Pegasus Deck Chief.
Tyrol: Oh, hey. Yeah. Tyrol. Thanks for sending over these parts. Yeah, look at whatever you like.
Cally: Specialist Cally {she shakes Lair’s hand).
Laird: Hi
Laird: DDG-62s. I’ll be. I designed these engines. I thought they phased them out over ten years ago.
Tyrol: You’re an aeronautical engineer?
Laird: Yeah, I was. Then the war happened, and I got drafted to being the Deck Chief on Pegasus.
Cally: So you’re really a civilian? How’d that happen?
Laird: I was on the Scylla, and we got picked up by the Pegasus. Things happened. Mind if I crawl around inside here? I heard you designed this yourself. I’d love to see how you did it.
Tyrol: Sure, yeah. You’ll get dirty. (to Cally) People come to see my ship (laughs).


(4) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (ADDITIONAL SCENE) (40:45 – 41:43)

Laird: Hey
Tyrol: Hey. You know, that idea you had increased fuel efficiency by two percent.
Laird: I’m glad I could help out.
Cally: This is bullshit, Chief.
Tyrol: (sighs)
Laird: Why is everyone so pissed off?
Tyrol: Oh, we just heard, brass is bringing over some frakwit from the Pegasus to take over my deck.
Laird: That’s … That’s gotta burn.
Tyrol: Yeah.
Laird: I’m the frakwit. Sorry.
Tyrol: Office is back here


(5) INT. PEGASUS – PILOT BRIEFING ROOM (41:56 – 43:30)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Taylor: This is a photo recon mission. We are interested in one Cylon ship in particular which is larger than anything we’ve encountered before. Analysis to date suggests they will be in this star system next. We will hide behind this moon which has an abnormally large magnetotail and will mask our dradis signatures. (Starbuck whispers something to Apollo) We’ll power down, hide near the surface, wait for the fleet to pass by. Starbuck?
Starbuck: Yeah?
Taylor: You have something to add?
Starbuck: Your plan sucks.
Taylor: You’re a heartbeat away from being in hack on your first day.
Starbuck: I like hack.
Taylor: It’s good to know.
Starbuck: And the Cylons aren’t stupid. That moon’s a blind spot. They’ll never go near it. You really wanna get close? You gotta use the stealth ship we constructed aboard Galactica.
Narcho: The homemade tin can?
Taylor: That’s enough. Starbuck, you’re off this mission. Whiplash, Thumper get your optical gear ready. Apollo, you’ll pilot the Raptor with me. Your jacket says you qualified in one. Remember how to fly it?
Apollo: Yes, sir.
Taylor: Good. On your feet. Dismissed.


(6) INT. PEGASUS. HALLWAY OUTSIDE PILOT BRIEFING ROOM (43:30 – 43:56)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Starbuck: They expect us to take this lying down? Now you’re flying a frakking Raptor? It’s humiliating.
[Apollo gives Starbuck a bag with a camera in it]
Starbuck: A surveillance package?
Apollo: Go get the blackbird. Take some pretty pictures of our Cylon ship.
Starbuck: Copy that.


(7A) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM (44:00 – 44:51

[Galactica and Pegasus crew are enjoying some of the Galactica moonshine]
Vireem: Cheers, everybody.
Tyrol: Chief, where’s the Blackbird.
Laird: Oh, Lieutenant Thrace took it out. She said Admiral Cain ordered a performance check out.
Tyrol: What?
Gage: Hey, Chief. You deserve a frakking medal. We haven’t seen booze for months. This place is a frakking party.
Vireem: Oh, I heard you guys even got yourselves a Cylon. Heard she’s a hot one too. Owww.
Gage: I’d like to get me some of that Cylon stuff, huh? A little of the “oh-yeah, oh-yeah”.
Pegasus frat boys: (laughing)
Tyrol: Hey, you know what, that’s enough, guys. Just shut up.
Vireem: Sensitive. You got a soft spot for the little robot girl, do you?
Helo: Hey. Chief said to shut up. Maybe you didn’t hear him.
Gage: Hey. Sorry, Sir. Look, we’re just here for a little fun, huh? Cheers.
[Gage holds his glass up to Helo. After a pause Helo clinks glasses]
Gage: Come on. There we go.

 

(7B) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL (44:50 – 45:15)

[Athena is in her cell doing sit-ups. Thorne enters with a couple Marines]
Athena: Who the hell are you?

 

(7C) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM (45:15 – 45:32)

Vireem: Remember, ahhh, you remember when Thorne put that “Please Disturb” sign up on the brig there?
Gage: I got in line twice.
Vireem: Oh, I hear that. Remember she was just laying there, like, with that blank look on her face, like…
Cally: Hey, do you mind?
Vireem: Ooh, frisky.
Gage: That hurts.

 

(7D) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL (45:32 – 45:59)

[Thorne shows the surveillance photo to Athena]
Thorne: What is the function of this ship?
Athena: I don’t know.
Thorne: Here, take a closer look. (He puts his hands around her throat) What makes it so important? Why would two Base Stars be tasked to protect it?
Athena: (choking) I don’t… (coughing)
[Thorne pushes his hand out and she falls onto the bed]
Athena: I don’t know.
[Thorne slaps her across the face and she falls onto the bed]

 

(7E) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM (45:59 – 46:28)

Gage: You think Thorne will give us a chance at this one too?
Vireem: Nah, I heard him say he’s gonna have to break her in a little first.
[Helo moves toward Vireem aggressively. Tyrol stops him]
Tyrol: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know, but not here.
Helo: Who the hell’s this Thorne?
Gage: Lieutenant Thorne, sir. Cylon interrogator. Rides ’em hard and keeps ’em talkin’.
Vireem: Your little robot girl is in for quite a ride. (laughs) Yee-ha!
[Helo lunges at Vireem, but Tyrol stops him again]
Tyrol: No, no, no, no. No. Think about it. We need to go.

[Tyrol and Helo enter the cell to stop Thorne]
Tyrol: (yelling) Get off of her! Get off of her, now!
[Tyrol throws Throne off of Athena. Thorne smacks his head into a nut/bolt in the wall and dies. Tyrol and Helo start to beat down the Marine guards. The guards eventually recover long enough to pull their weapons on the two rescuers]
Guard: Freeze! Freeze! Don’t either of you frakking move! Don’t move! Don’t either of you frakking move! Don’t move. Get down. Get down! on your knees, hands behind your head. Now! Hands behind your head. Do it now. Do it!

Adama: The assault happened here. They should face court-martial on Galactica.
Cain: Commander, I am the senior convening authority present. And they will be tried on Pegasus.
Adama: They’re my men.
Cain: One of my men is dead.
Adama: Fine. We both have strong feeling about the case. That only underlines the need for an impartial trial.
Cain: Oh You mean an independent tribunal? Because according to your logs Commander, you dissolved an independent tribunal when you didn’t like the verdict. And if I’m not mistaken, Chief Tyrol was on trial there as well.
Adama: That was a different time.
Cain: Yes, indeed it was. I’ll be in touch, Commander Thank you.

***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Taylor: Check me on these jump coordinates. Apollo? Check me on these jump coordinates.
Apollo: Sorry. Jump coordinates verified.
Taylor: You seem a little distracted, Captain. Something I should know about?
Apollo: Two of my friends just got arrested and charged with treason.
Taylor: I suggest you file that under “not your problem”. We have a recon mission to perform. I need your head in the game.
Apollo: Right.
Taylor: Pegasus, Blue Team, jump coordinates set and verified. Ready to FTL. We will jump in ten minutes. on my mark. Mark.

Cally: Any word on the Chief, sir?
Adama: He’s gonna to have to stand trial.
Cally: He’s a good man, sir.
Adama: I know. I’ll do everything-
Gaeta: (over intercom) Attention. Galactica …Commander Adama, contact the CIC ASAP
Adama: (into phone to Tigh) Adama.
Tigh: I just talked to Fisk. Court-martial’s over.
Adama: Over? When did it start?
Tigh: I don’t know, but they’ve been found guilty on all counts. She’s going to execute them both for murder and treason.
Adama: I want a Marine strike team in a raptor in five minutes. Prepare to launch alert fighters. (to Cally) You have work to do.
Cally: Sir.


(12) INT. GALACTICA – CIC / PEGASUS – CIC (55:34 – 57:58)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Dualla: Pegasus, Galactica, please secure a channel. Commander Adama would like to speak to Admiral Cain. Go ahead, sir.
Adama: You told me they’d get a fair trial. What kind of a trial could they have possibly had?
Cain: I assure you, I heard them out. I weighed their statements against those of the guards and I took into consideration their service records and commendations. It was a difficult decision Commander, but I dare say it was a fair one.
Adama: They have the right to have their case heard by a jury.
Cain: I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter.
Adama: (covers phone and tell Tigh) Launch the fighters. (to Cain) You can quote me whatever regulation you’d like. I’m not not gonna let you execute my men.
Cain: I highly suggest you reconsider that statement, Commander.
Fisk: Admiral, Galactica is launching Vipers and a Raptor.
Cain: Commander, why are you launching Vipers?
Adama: Please arrange for Chief Tyrol and Lieutenant Agathon to be handed over to my Marines as soon as they arrive.
Cain: I don’t take orders from you.
Adama: Call it whatever you like. I’m getting my men.
Cain: You are making such a mistake.
Adama: I’m getting my men.
Cain: Action stations.
Fisk: Admiral, this will spiral out of control fast.
Cain: Launch the alert Vipers. Adama has taken us over the line. He’s left me with no choice. Launch the alert Vipers. And target the main battery for Galactica. And may the Gods have mercy on their souls.
[Both ships have launched their Vipers. Galactica is seriously outgunned! The Vipers on each side start to make formations for an attack]

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 2×11: Resurrection Ship (Part 1) (January 6, 2006)

Story By: Anne Cofell Saunders
Teleplay By: Michael Rymer
Directed By: Michael Rymer


(1) INT. COLONIAL ONE (11:23 – 14:10)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Roslin: Let’s start this by admitting an ugly truth. What happened out there today was the result of failure in leadership of everyone in this room. We are the leaders of this fleet. As such, we need to set an example. We cannot continue to let the conflicts between us…
Cain: Oh, let’s just cut through the hand-holding, shall we? Two of his men murdered one of my officers while protecting a Cylon. They’re guilty. They admitted it. And under regulations, I have complete authority to try, convict, and sentence them. And you and I both know that the penalty for that crime is death.
Roslin: Admiral, surely… the spirit of the law requires something more here than summary executions.
Cain: Is this what the two of you have been doing for the past six months? Debating the finer points of Colonial law? Well, guess what? We’re at war! And we don’t have the luxury of academic debate over these issues.
Roslin: You wanna cut through it, fine. You have Pegasus, he has Galactica. Two heavily armed, very powerful warships. Now, I am sure that Pegasus would prevail in any fight.
Adama: I wouldn’t count on that.
Roslin: But certainly, there’d be heavy damage and you’d take significant casualties. So you can go out there and fight it out with Galactica, or you can compromise. And those are the only two options on the table, period.
Cain: How the two of you have survived this long, I will never know. All right. Lieutenant Thrace has sent me detailed recon information on the Cylon fleet. I want that fleet. And I need Galactica to get it. So I’m willing to go this far. I’ll suspend the executions until after the attack.
Adama: I want them back on Galactica.
Cain: I don’t give a damn what you want. You’re frakking lucky you’re not staring at your own warrant.
Roslin: The destruction of the Cylon fleet will take priority over all other considerations. After that, we will meet back here and we will resolve this issue. Thank you.


(2) INT. GALACTICA – SICK BAY (18:03 – 19:32)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Cottle: Your fluid and electrolyte levels are stable. I think the baby is going to be fine. You do have a cracked rib, though. Hairline fracture, which means it’s gonna hurt like hell for a while. But I’m not seeing any signs of permanent damage from the attack.
Athena: The attack. Is that what we’re calling it now?
Adama: They were not from the Galactica.
Athena: They were from the Pegasus. So what? What about Helo and the Chief? I heard a rumor they’re gonna be executed.
Adama: I’m not going to let that happen.
Athena: Well, how are you going to do that? Isn’t Admiral Cain in command?
Adama: What happened to you…
Cottle: Was unforgivable.
Adama: Happened aboard my ship, on my watch. And it’s my responsibility. So I just want you to know that I personally apologize. (to Cottle) See that she’s okay, then back into her cell.


(3) INT. PEGASUS – BRIG (19:43 – 20:51)

Helo: Aren’t we supposed to be dead? Admiral said execution in an hour, it’s been at least two.
Tyrol: Ah, I’m not complaining.
Apollo: So, just how many different kinds of stupid are you?
Helo: More than we can count.
Tyrol: What’s going on, Captain?
Apollo: Good news, you’re not dead… yet. Bad news, it’s a delay, not a pardon. There’s a big op coming up and the firing squad’s on hold till it’s over. Yeah, the old man went to the mat for you guys on this one, and then some. We were this close to a shooting war with the Pegasus.
Helo: Frak me.
Tyrol: What the hell’s going on? Thought the Cylons were the enemy.
Apollo: Yeah, now it’s us.


(4) INT. PEGASUS – CAG OFFICE (28:27 – 29:28)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Apollo: The CAG’s work is never done.
Starbuck: Hi… how ya doing?
Apollo: Oh, you mean apart from being, uh, demoted? Finding myself working for one of my pilots? Great. Never better.
Starbuck: You know I had nothing to do with that, right?
Apollo: Never thought you did. I, uh, just checked in on Helo and Tyrol. They’re hanging tight for now.
Starbuck: Good. Help me plan this op. I’ve been staring at this roster…
Apollo:You wanna just carry on? As if nothing’s happened?
Starbuck: Lee, she’s in command. What do you want to do? There’s nothing we can do.


(5) INT. PEGASUS – BRIG (35:23 – 37:19)

Tyrol: You know, when we get outta here… I’m gonna make some changes.
Helo: Yeah? Like what?
Tyrol: Me and Sharon. It’s done. I mean, really done. I can’t do it anymore. I mean don’t get me wrong. LT, what we did, I would do again… in a heartbeat. I gotta let it go. I so thought I’d let go.
Helo: Yeah… I know what you mean.
Tyrol: You?
Helo: Yeah, me. What? You think I don’t have second thoughts sometimes. You think I don’t wonder if I’m losing my frakkin’ mind. I’m in love a woman I know isn’t a woman. I’m having a baby that’s… that’s what? Half machine?
Tyrol: You really do love her, don’t you?
Helo: Yeah. Yes, I do. And I can’t let go of it. But if you can… let it go.

Written By: Michael Rymer & Ronald D. Moore
Directed By: Michael Rymer


(1) INT. PEGASUS – BRIG
Timestamp: 05:22 – 06:51

Helo: Oh, lookee here. Sunshine boys are here.
Gage: You know, the man you killed saved my life and the lives of 50 other men, you miserable frak.
Helo: Hey. You. You call me “sir”.
Gage: Yes, sir.
Vireem: So I guess you were both getting your poles greased by that filthy little robot girl, huh?
Tyrol: I’m sorry. I don’t think I quite heard that right. The glass… I can’t hear you. So, why don’t you open the door, come in, and we’ll talk about it in here?
[Tyrol postures for a fight]
Vireem: That’s a great idea, Chief.
Helo: Oh, they really wanna do this.
Marine: Hands over your head.
Tyrol: Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy.
Marine: On your frakking knees!
Helo: Slow it down, slow it down. Just think about what you’re doing here. Just think about what we’re doing here, guys.
Tyrol: What the frak is this?
Gage: Don’t worry, sir. We’ll take it real slow. Sir!
Tyrol: Hey!


(2) INT. PEGASUS – BRIG
Timestamp: 07:35 – 10:53

[Tyrol and Helo are strapped to the bunks]
Gage: See, the gut, it’s a vulnerable area. Lt Thorne told me that once. He said “If you really wanna do some damage without leaving a mark, go for the gut”.
Vireem: You’d be surprised what you can do with the simplest things. A bar of soap, plain old towel. How bad could it be, right? You’d be surprised.
[Vireem smacks Helo in the stomach with the towel covered soap]
Tyrol: Cowards.
Gage: Cowards? Is that what you said? Now, give me that! You know what? I lied. I’m not going slow anymore.
[Gage and Vireem both proceed to beat the crap out of the prisoners]
Fisk: Attention on deck! Gage. Vireem. Out of the cell, standing tall, right here! (to Marines) Remove the restraints from the prisoners. Specialist Gage, let me ask you something. Those men in there, are they wearing Colonial uniforms?
Gage: Yes, sir.
Fisk: Specialist Vireem, do you agree with Specialist Gage here that those are, in fact, Colonial officers?
Vireem: Yes, sir. They killed Lieutenant…
Fisk: Shut your frakkin’ mouth! See, I don’t quite understand what I just saw. Because I think I saw you two knuckle-draggers treating those men like they were Cylons, which of course couldn’t be right. Because if, in fact that was the case, then you’re both subject to charges of assaulting a Chief and a Lieutenant under color of authority in a time of war, which, if I’m not mistaken, carries a penalty on this ship that is quite severe. Now, get the hell out of here.
Gage: Sir.
Vireem: Sir.
Fisk: (to Marines) Get out.
Marine: Yes, sir.
Marine: Sir.
Helo: Thank you.
Tyrol: Thank you, Colonel.
Fisk: I don’t want your thanks. I owe Lt Thorne my life, as do many people on this ship.
Helo: He was trying to rape a prisoner.
Fisk: You can’t rape a machine, Lieutenant.


(3) INT. PEGASUS – CAIN’S OFFICE
Timestamp: 10:54 – 13:25
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Cain: Do you drink, Thrace?
Starbuck: Only to excess, sir.
Cain: “Only to excess”? Learn that from Colonel Tigh, did you?
Starbuck: Not exactly.
Cain: I understand you belted him once.
Starbuck: (stammering) You gonna … That was something that I did without really thinking.
Cain: Don’t apologize. Some people get exactly what they deserve. From what I read about your XO, maybe he needs to get popped in the mouth every once in while, hmmm?
[Starbuck doesn’t answer]
Cain: I know you’re very close with Adama.
Starbuck: Yes, sir.
Cain: And I know he’s a good man. And I know he’s had to make some very hard choices over the last few months. Lord knows I have.
Starbuck: Well, then maybe you can understand why he did what he thought he had to do when you said you were going to execute Helo and Tyrol.
Cain: Let me tell you something. I’ve had to watch a lot of kids be put into body bags. They’re covered with flags and they float out that airlock. You think I don’t understand his feelings towards his men? Sometimes, terrible things have to be done. Inevitably, each and every one of us will have to face a moment where we have to commit that horrible sin. And if we flinch in that moment, if we hesitate for one second, if we let our conscience get in the way, you know what happens? There are more kids in those body bags, more kids floating out that airlock. Now, I don’t know why… but I have a lot of faith in you. And I want you to promise me that when that moment comes, you won’t flinch. Do not flinch.


(4) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL

Athena: I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.

Starbuck: Why don’t you just shoot us in the locker room, Chief? Save the wear and tear o­n the ships.
Tyrol: Kat’s guns are clean, I checked ’em myself.
Starbuck: Yeah, well I don’t believe in accidents.
Cally: Chief, something’s not right.
[She hands him two rounds]
Tyrol: The weight’s off. It’s too light.
[One is too light, and breaks when he squeezes it too hard]
Cally: I found three more just like it, mixed in with the regular rounds.
Tyrol: The casing’s been weakened. It falls apart in the barrel, the next o­ne hits it, bang! She’s lucky she didn’t lose her whole wing. One bad round’s a fluke. More than o­ne, sabotage. Pull ’em all!
Deckhand: Alright you heard the Chief, lets pull ’em all! Go!


(2) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (28:40 – 29:17)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

Tyrol and Cally in Hangar Bay (28:56 – 28:60)

Cottle: Notify the Admiral.
Adama: [giving a speech over the loud speaker] This is Admiral Adama. As you know, President Roslin has been aboard Galactica for the last few days. She’s a fighter. But as of this moment, her prognosis is grave. I know that many of you believe in the power of prayer. If that is your way, then I urge you to pray for our President. As for the others, I hope you will join me in keeping her in our thoughts.

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 2×15: Scar (February 3, 2006)

The PREVIOUSLY ON scene with Chief, Kat & Starbuck is different to how it aired on 2×08: Final Cut.


(1) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL (13:29 – 16:13)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Athena: You know, Scar has probably died and been reborn a dozen times. You may have faced him before.
Starbuck: So what, Raiders reincarnate, just like you?
Athena: Yeah. Just like me.
Starbuck: Great. What a frakkin’ world.
Athena: A Raider’s much like a trained animal, with the basic consciousness and survival instinct. You know, but with the destruction of the Resurrection ship, when they die, they’re really dead. So, they’re not gonna mount mass attacks where they could have major casualties.
Starbuck: Raiders reincarnate?
Athena: Makes sense, doesn’t it? It takes months for you to train a nugget into an effective Viper pilot. And then they get killed and then you lose their experience, their knowledge, their skill sets, it’s gone forever. So, if you could bring ’em back and put ’em in a brand new body, wouldn’t you do it? ‘Cause death then becomes a learning experience. How… How many pilots have we lost? I mean, have you lost?
Starbuck: You know, there are times when I look at you and I forget what you are. All I see is that kid that spooched her landings day after day. The kid that was frakking the Chief and thinking she was getting away with it.
Athena: (crying) Yeah, I remember. You were like a big sister.
[Athena reaches out to touch Starbuck o­n the leg. The Marines promptly cock and raise their rifles to stop her]
Athena: Kara, um– be careful of Scar, okay? He’s filled with rage.
Starbuck: About what?
Athena: Dying’s a painful and traumatic experience. Every time he’s reborn, he’s filled with more bitter memories. Scar hates you every bit as much as you hate him.


(2) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK (22:39 – 23:42)

[Jo Jo o­n the hangar deck after getting out of his viper and vomiting]
Crewman: It’s all right, Jo-Jo.
Tyrol: Verify PC-2 pressure zero, throttles closed, oxygen, generator and master switches off.
Starbuck: Check. Shutdown complete.
Tyrol: Nothing you could do, Captain. Too far away.
Kat: Nice work, Starbuck.
Starbuck: What the hell happened to BB?
Kat: What happened? He did exactly what you told him to do, Captain. Him and Duck had bingo fuel and a head start home, but instead that FNG turned and attacked. And Scar lit him up like a pinwheel.
Starbuck: Why’d he try to take on Scar by himself? Stupid idiot.
Kat: “Try to run and you’re dead”. I heard you. You drilled that into that poor moron’s head.
Starbuck: You know what? You and I both know that 99% of the time that is the right move.
Kat: Hmm, not this time.

[There is a problem with a cargo container]
Tyrol: So what’s going o­n?
Cally: We were unloading o­ne of the containers and then o­ne of the crates shifted. So, we looked inside and we saw that something was moving.
Tyrol: Did you call it in?
Cally: Yeah. We shut door and the Marines are o­n their way.
Tyrol: Give me a light.
Cally: Chief, we don’t know what we’re dealing with here. Don’t you think we should wait?
Tyrol: Just wait out here.
Cally: Chief?
[Tyrol enters the container and searches it with his flashlight, He finds a pregnant woman hiding]
Rya: Is this the Galactica?
Tyrol: Yeah.
Rya: Are you Doctor Cottle?


(2) INT. GALACTICA – SICK BAY (13:20 – 15:10)
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Adama: How is she?
Cottle: Rya’s four months pregnant and doesn’t wannna be. I understand the Gemenese have a problem with women terminating their pregnancies.
Adama: Tyrol said that she asked for you by name. Do you want to tell me what that’s really all about?
Cottle: Pretty straightforward, really. I get a note that a girl’s o­n the way, she arrives, I do my work, and she leaves. I don’t ask a lot of questions.
Adama: You’re gonna start. I wanna talk to her.
Adama: (to Rya) I’m Admiral Adama. Don’t worry, I’ve just come to talk.
Cottle: It doesn’t matter what you say. I’m not gonna change my mind.
Adama: Your parents are a little worried about you. They’ve contacted me through the Gemenon representative.
Rya: My parents? Oh Gods. (cries) Do you have any idea what they would do to me? Please, do not send me back.
Adama: You’re a stowaway aboard a military ship.
Cottle: Some people might say she was a victim of political persecution. Hell, she could apply for asylum.
Rya: Asylum. That’s it. I want asylum.

Tyrol: Help! (mouths) Help me!


(5) INT. GALACTICA – ROOM (12:51 – 14:35)

Cavill: Chief Tyrol, I’m Brother Cavill. I understand you’ve asked for religious counseling.
Tyrol: I never really believed in psychotherapy. My father was a priest.
Cavill: I see. You thought you’d have an easier time with a priest than a real doctor. Okay.
Tyrol: I pray to the gods every night, but I don’t think they listen to me.
Cavill: Do you know how useless prayer is? Chanting and singing and mucking about with old half-remembered lines of bad poetry, and you know what it gets you? Exactly nothing.
Tyrol: Are you sure you’re a priest?
Cavill: I’ve been preaching longer than you’ve been sucking down oxygen. And in that time, I’ve learned enough to know that the gods don’t answer prayers. We’re here o­n our own. That’s the way they set things up. We have to find our own answers, our own way out of the wilderness without a nice little sunny path all laid out in front of us in advance.
Tyrol: That’s what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to find my way.
Cavill: Now, it’s not gonna to get better until you see what the problem is. And the problem is, you are screwed up, heart and mind. You, not the gods or fate or the universe. You.
Tyrol: Thanks for the pep talk.


(6) INT. GALACTICA – ROOM (20:44 – 24:26)

Cavill: Let’s, uh, let’s talk about what happened.
Tyrol: I can’t really believe it. Cally. I-I-I don’t understand how I could do that to Cally. It’s like it’s a nightmare.
Cavill: She said you were asleep when she found you. Were you having a nightmare when she woke you up?
Tyrol: I don’t remember.
Cavill: Oh. Been having any recurring dreams lately?
Tyrol: No.
Cavill: Okay, that’s what we in the pray trade call a lie. And lies aren’t going to get you anywhere, my friend. So skip over the denials and the deceptions, and let’s get right down to it, shall we? You’re having dreams. What are they? Tell me about your dream, Chief.
[We see a dream sequence where Tyrol climbs up to the hangar balcony. Climbs over the leadge and falls over to his doom]
Tyrol: Every night… Every night it’s the same.
Cavill: For how long?
Tyrol: Couple of weeks.
Cavill: And you were having the same dream when Cally woke you up, weren’t you?
Tyrol: I don’t know. I don’t remember. Maybe. It doesn’t matter, does it? All I remember is Cally o­n the ground and the blood.
Cavill: She stopped you. By waking you up, she prevented you from carrying out your secret desire to kill yourself.
Tyrol: (scoffs) I don’t have a secret desire to kill myself.
Cavill: Well, actually, you’re right. It’s not a secret. You obviously want to kill yourself. Question is why?


(7) INT. GALACTICA – ROOM (30:56 – 33:56)

Cavill: Why are you running?
Tyrol: I’m not.
Cavill: How long are you gonna do this? How long are you going to refuse to see what’s right in front of your face? How… Forget it. I’m done.
Tyrol: What? You’re– you’re leaving?
Cavill: That’s right. I’m done. I’m done dancing around the truth with you. You know what’s going o­n, but you can’t or you won’t face it, so… I’m not a therapist. I’m not gonna hold your hand and help you along. I’m just trying to get you right with yourself and with your gods, but you’re not willing to do it.
Tyrol: But… I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Cavill: Oh, for gods’ sake, Chief, come o­n! You think you’re a Cylon.
Tyrol: I am not a Cylon.
Cavill: Well, of course you’re not. But that’s what you’re afraid of, isn’t it? That you might be a Cylon and not even know it, just–just like Boomer, right? Right? That’s the thought that’s torturing your dreams and crippling your soul. “I’m a Cylon, just like Sharon, and I deserve to die”.
Tyrol: Sharon didn’t know what she was. She just kept thinking… Feeling that she was gonna do this terrible thing, but she knew that she had to stop herself before she did.
Cavill: And you think that’s what you’re going to do, some terrible thing. Well, the truth is, you might, but not because you’re a Cylon, because you’re a human being, and human beings do terrible things all the time.
Tyrol: Well, how do you know I’m human?
Cavill: Oh, well, maybe because I’m a Cylon, and I’ve never seen you at any of the meetings. There’s not much more I can do for you. You’re gonna have to go back to work and try and leave all of this behind you.
Tyrol: No, I… I can’t. I can’t go back and face the deck people again. Are you… And Cally!
Cavill: Well, you’d better. That’s the o­nly family you’ve got. Just know that that’s your family and that they love you. Even Cally. Especially Cally. If you doubt your humanity and your essential nature as a human being, all you need to do is look to them for the salvation you’ve been seeking from the gods. The gods lift up those who lift each other, Chief. (taps fingers on table)

(1) INT. GALACTICA – SICK BAY

Cottle: Jaw set nicely. You’re done here. I’m kicking you out of here and sending you back to work.
Cally: Work like this?
Cottle: You gotta love a woman who can complain even with her jaw wired shut. You got a visitor.
Tyrol: I’m sorry. What I did was… unforgivable, inexcusable. I didn’t come here to–
Cally: I forgive you.
Tyrol: No. Cally. No.
Cally: It wasn’t you. I know that. It wasn’t you.
Tyrol: It was me. I… may have been out of my mind and not know where I was doing or anything, but it was me.
Cally: You’re in pain. You have been in pain for a really long time.
Tyrol: Don’t feel sorry for me.
Cally: I care about you. I always have. And I always will.


(2) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK

Refugee: Ah! Medic: You’re going to be okay. We’re almost there.
Tyrol: Hey, hey, guys, take it easy with it. Come o­n.
Starbuck: Am I good or what? Tigh: There’s gonna be no living with her now.
Adama: It’s good to see you. Welcome back.
Starbuck: Thank you, sir. I brought some friends with me.
Adama: I see.
Starbuck: Right. Right. Um… this is, um… wow, um, this is Samuel T. Anders.
Adama: I know who he is.
Anders: Damn good to meet you, sir.
Adama: Caprica Buccaneers.
Anders: That’s right.
Adama: Hell of a player. I’m a Picon Panther fan myself.
Anders: We enjoyed beating them too.
Adama: It’s good to have you aboard.
Anders: Thank you.
Starbuck: I have news. Good news, actually. The cylon occupation is over. They left. They’re gone.
Adama: What are you talking about?
Cavil: It’s true. The cylons have left the colonies. They’re headed for greener pastures.
Tyrol: Security!
Starbuck: What the hell?
Tyrol: Don’t move! He’s a Cylon.
Adama: Back off, Chief. We got it.
Cavil: Well, this is an awkward moment. Yes, uh, he’s right. I’m a Cylon. And I have a message. So take me to your leader.
Adama: Take him to the brig. Take that to the brig too.
Helo: What? Admiral, she didn’t know.
Adama: Don’t even start, Helo! Of course she knew.
Starbuck: (to Anders) Welcome to Galactica.


(3) INT. UNION TENT

Tyrol: Everybody, please. Just calm down.
[Crowd shouting]
Tyrol: Please just calm down. Everybody listen just for a second.
[Crowd shouting]
Tyrol: Please. Please. Be quiet!
[Crowd shouting]
Cally: Hey, shut the frak up!
Tyrol: When you elected me union President, I promised I would keep us working, keep benefits flowing. But most of all, keep this city alive.
Starbuck: Colonel.
Tyrol: I promised we would stay o­n the job. And well hey. And building a better tomorrow.
[Tyrol continues in background]
Tigh: Wow, look at you.
Ellen: Hi.
Starbuck: Oh, I’m so glad you guys are here.
Ellen: Me too. It’s pretty– pretty exciting.
Starbuck: Yeah, that wears off.
Tigh: So what’s going o­n here?
Starbuck: President Baltar. Sir, Anders is really sick. But Doc Cottle’s giving me the runaround and says there’s no antibiotics. And that’s a load of crap. Anything you can do to help me cut through the red tape.
Tigh: You should give Apollo a call. Pegasus is sitting o­n the backup meds. He’d spring some for you.
Starbuck: Yeah. I doubt that.
Tigh: That was a long time ago. People change.
Starbuck: Okay.
Tyrol: But there comes a time when you realize that the engine you’ve built with your blood and your sweat and your tears is being used for something so foul, so perverted that it makes you sick in your heart. And it’s then that you must throw your body o­n the gears and o­n the levers and o­n the machine itself and make it stop. And you have to show the people who run it, the people who control it, that unless we’re free, that machine will be prevented from working at all.
All: Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!


(4) EXT. NEW CAPRICA CITY

[Centurions are marching down the streets, occupying the human settlement]
Tyrol: What do you want to do now Captain?
Starbuck: The same thing we always do, fight ’em until we can’t.

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – Webisode: The Resistance (Sept 5 – Oct 5, 2006)

EPISODE 1

NEW CAPRICA
67TH DAY OF OCCUPATION

————————————-
(1) INT. TYROL’S TENT

Cally: (handing out coats) Here you go.
Jammer: Thanks.
Tyrol: One more for the road? Keep out the cold and wet.
Duck: Oh, no. Not for me. Curfew’s in 20 minutes, the sun’s going down even quicker and the last thing I wanna do is spend the night in a Cylon jail cell.
Jammer: Cylons show up to help us, first thing they do is build a jail.
Nora: (about Baby Nicky) He’s so beautiful.
Cally: You two should have one.
Duck: We’re working on that.
Cally: Ok.
Jammer: (to Duck) Great work if you can get it.
Nora: Thanks, bye.
Cally: Bye, be safe.

————————————-
(2) OUTSIDE

Duck: We need to find you a lady, buddy, you’re starting to walk funny.
Jammer: Hey, if Nora has a sister, I’m there.
Nora: Sorry, I can’t help you.
Jammer: (sighs) Story of my life.
[Jammer offers Duck a cigarette]
Duck: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, we uh, we quit.
Nora: If we’re gonna have a baby, we’ve gotta clean up our act.
Duck: (in agreement) Uh huh
Jammer: You uh … did you hear about Longo?
Duck: No. What?
Jammer: Toasters got him. They found his weapons stash.

————————————-
(3) INT. TYROL’S TENT

Tigh: You think Duck will bite?
Tyrol: Jammer’s finding out right now. At least the Cylon’s didn’t get ’em all. Longo had these hidden under his latrine.
Tigh: This is all that’s left? This is frakking pathetic. If this keeps up, we’ll have nothing but rocks left to throw at the bastards.
Tyrol: Yeah, and nobody to throw ’em.

————————————-
(4) OUTSIDE

Nora: They shot him in cold blood?
Jammer: Toasters claim when they found his stash, he was reaching for his gun.
Duck: What? Charlie’s not that stupid. Those frakkers murdered him.
Nora: Gods. Poor Charlie. Hiding weapons in his tent. What does he expect?
Duck: And now they want us to do their dirty work for them. Are you kidding me? New Caprica Police? What a bunch of crap.
Jammer: Some people say it’s a good thing.
Duck: What?
Jammer: Get the Centurions off the streets and let us patrol ‘em ourselves. Maybe Charlie would still be alive if they had human…
Duck: Oh, no, no, no, no. No matter how you try to swing this, you work for the toasters, it’s treason. That’s it. Lets go.
Jammer: Oh, hell. I uh forgot my hat back at the Chief’s. I’ll see you later.
Duck: All right.
Jammer: See ya man.
Duck: Yeah.
[Jammer leaves]
Duck: What do you think about him being a Godfather?
Nora: Yeah.
Duck: Yeah?
Nora: Yeah.

————————————-
(5) INT. TYROL’S TENT

Cally: (to baby Nicky) It’s bedtime…
Tyrol: Adama’s not gonna have a hope in hell getting us off this rock if we don’t put together an effective fighting force.
Tigh: I’m going have to keep these here until we find a better hiding place.
Tyrol: Colonel, I got a wife, a newborn, I can’t…
Tigh: We’ll move them as soon as we can.
[Jammer enters the tent]
Tyrol: Well?
Jammer: Duck hates the toasters, no doubt about that.
Tigh: He’s also an ex-Viper jock with forty kills. Talk to him, make him understand that we need him. Throw in some poetic crap about the struggle for liberty against the Cylon oppressors, whatever it takes. We need more people or this resistance movement is going to die in its crib.

 

EPISODE 2

(1) OUTSIDE

Duck: Look. Part of me would love to kick some chrome-plated ass with you guys but… it’s not gonna happen. I just… got other plans.
[Duck leaves]
Tyrol: Other plans, what the frak is that?
Jammer: Nora.
Tyrol: So what? I got a wife and a kid, you don’t think I worry about them? What kind of future are we gonna leave them if we just lay down and quit? That’s just a spineless excuse.
Jammer: Duck’s no coward, Chief. He made his choice, we made ours. Let’s leave it at that.
Tyrol: Frak that.

——————-
(2) INT. TENT

Barolay: We give thanks for the food you have presented us. May this harvest be spared the blight.
All: So say we all.
Barolay: So say we all.
[Sister Tivenan leaves the tent]
Barolay: We picked up all the weapons from the other sites. They’re in crates marked “machine parts”. We’ll smuggle them over here a few at a time.
Jammer: Wait a minute… You want to hide firearms in the temple?
Barolay: Something wrong with that?
Jammer: This is sacred ground. The Cylons respect that which is why they leave the temple alone.
Tigh: And that makes it the perfect hiding place.
Jammer: But its sacrilege.
Tigh: Well, I’ll tell you what. You say a prayer, ask the Gods to forgive us. We move the guns in tonight.

 

EPISODE 3

(1) INT. DUCK AND NORA’S TENT

Nora: If it pleases you, great Aphrodite, grant us a child.
Duck:: If it pleased her, you’d be pregnant already.
Nora: Well, maybe if you came to temple with me once in a while…
Duck:: The Gods help those who help themselves.
Nora: Okay. Why don’t you get your butt over and help me, then?
Duck:: Jammer and Tyrol tried to recruit me today.
Nora: For the resistance?
Duck:: I turned ’em down.
Nora: Thank the Gods.
Duck:: There was a time when I would have done it in a heartbeat but… I guess things change.
Nora: How?
Duck:: You.

————————–
(2) INT. TEMPLE

Tyrol: Still clear.
Tigh: Okay, let’s go. Let’s go.
Jammer: May the Gods forgive us.
Tigh: Let’s go.
Barolay: Let’s go.
Tigh: Jammer, let’s go.

————————–
(3) INT. DUCK AND NORA’S TENT

Nora: Reveille. Up all bunks!
Duck:: I thought we left all that military crap aboard Galactica.
Nora: Well you’re already late. Tyrol’s gonna kick your ass. Here (hands him a coffee). Do you, maybe, wanna meet me at temple when you get off?
Duck:: I don’t do temples.
Nora: It would really mean a lot to me.
Duck:: I don’t need all the bells and whistles. I talk to the Gods in my own way. But I’ll be there in spirit.
Nora: I’ll see you later tonight.
Duck:: Okay.
Nora: Now go, go, go, go.
Duck:: Five more minutes. Five more minutes.

 

EPISODE 4

TYROL IS NOT IN THIS EPISODE

(1) INT. TEMPLE

Nora: You’re lucky Galen comes from a religious background. Duck says he believes but I can never get him in here with me.
Cally: Galen’s having his own crisis of faith. Finding out Brother Cavill was a Cylon didn’t help.
Nora: Still, you got him to agree to hold a dedication ceremony to the Gods for your son.
Cally: A small miracle.
Nora: Well, it’s the small ones that keep me going.
Cally: Or like finding fresh greens for sale?
Nora: I got you some, I thought you might be too busy.
Cally: Oh, thank you.
Man (outside): It’s our temple!
Nora: What’s that?
Man (outside): Go back! Go back! Infidels!
New Caprica Police: Stand aside, we’re coming in!
Cally: It’s Cylons.
Nora: Centurions? What do they want in here?
Cally: Run!
[Cally and Nora run out of the temple]
Nora: Wait, my bag.
[Guns firing]
[Cally hits the ground covering baby Nicky]
[Nora lies lifeless on the ground]

 

EPISODE 5

(1) INT. DUCK AND NORA’S TENT

Duck: Did she say anything?
Cally: No. It happened so quickly, she didn’t suffer.
[Duck vomits]
Cally: Here.
Duck: I should’ve been there, I should’ve been with her. She even asked me to go.
Jammer: There’s nothing you could have done.
Duck: I could’ve have died with her.
Jammer: Sometimes the will of the Gods is not for…
Duck: Frak the Gods, the Gods killed her!
[Duck clears off the table in anger]
Duck: Were there guns at the temple?
Tyrol: Tyrol: Doesn’t matter. Toasters thought there were.
Duck: That’s not an answer, Chief.
Tyrol: Tyrol: Yeah.
Duck: Go. Go, just leave.
Jammer: Listen…
Duck: (screaming) Go!

 

EPISODE 6

TYROL IS NOT IN THIS EPISODE

(1) OUTSIDE

Jammer: 10 dead, 12 wounded. They shot the temple to shreds.
Tigh: I never dreamed we’d get this lucky.
Jammer: Lucky? The Cylons are cracking down, they’re making random arrests.
Barolay: 1,000 people protested outside Colonial One today. Temple massacre pushed people over the edge.
Tigh: Population’s with us now.
Barolay: Solved our recruitment problem. More than 150 people joined up in the last 3 days.
Tigh: A hell of a bargain for a few confiscated weapons.
Jammer: What about the 10 innocent people? Why don’t you tell Duck what a bargain you got for Nora’s life.
Tigh: You got that ass-backwards, sonny. We didn’t shoot those people, the chrome jobs did.
Jammer: ‘Cause we hid weapons there.
Tigh: Hey! We’re not playing paddycake here. These bastards burned up 20 billion of us. You gonna say that’s our fault too? Instead of bawling like a little girl, you should focus on getting some payback.
Jammer: Is that all this is about to you? Blood for blood?
Tigh: We’re at war. War is messy. People get killed. Good people, nice people. Get that through your head or get out. We don’t need any crybabies in this outfit.

 

EPISODE 7

(1) OUTSIDE

Tigh: Of all the people for the toasters to grab, it had to be Jammer. That little frack could give us all up.
Tyrol: Jammer may be a pain in the ass, but he’s no traitor. He’s not gonna talk.
Tigh: Well, I hope you’re right about him, for all our sakes.

——————-
(2) INT. NEW CAPRICA. DETENTION CENTER

Jammer: This is so frakked up. I am so completely frakked.
[Footsteps approaching]
[Door Opening]
Doral: Sorry to keep you waiting. Have a seat, Mr. Lyman.
Jammer: What the hell am I doing here? I haven’t done anything.
Doral: Please. Can I call you James, or do you prefer Jammer? They weren’t supposed to cuff you. Totally unnecessary. I apologize.
Jammer: You going to tell me why I was arrested?
Doral: You’re not under arrest. I brought you here because I wanted to talk about what happened at the temple.

 

EPISODE 8

TYROL IS NOT IN THIS EPISODE

(1) INT. NEW CAPRICA. DETENTION CENTER

Jammer: All I know about the temple is that you blew 10 innocent people to pieces.
Doral: Yeah. It might be hard for you to believe but we all feel sick about it. It’s um tragic. There’s no other word for it. The Centurions overreacted. But I think if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll admit that the shooting wasn’t entirely our fault.
Jammer: That’s bullcrap.
Doral: We have always left your temple alone. Never dreamed of sending Centurions there until someone decided to hide weapons in it.
Jammer: We didn’t shoot those people, you did.
Doral: True. And I accept full responsibility for that. But bringing instruments of death into a house of worship is a sin. Don’t you agree? Think about it, James. Whoever hid those weapons in there must’ve known we’d catch wind of it. Maybe they even leaked the information to us. Maybe they wanted it to happen.
Jammer: Why?
Doral: Because some people are afraid of peace. Afraid to stop fighting, afraid of what they might be without it. But you’re not one of those people, are you James? You’d like to put all this bloodshed behind you. Get a place of your own one day, a farm, maybe. A wife, kids, a life.
Jammer: Well, who wouldn’t?
Doral: Well, it’s not impossible. It could happen. It could happen for you, for me, for all of us.
Jammer: How?
Doral: Individuals like you and I have to be brave enough to demonstrate that there’s a better way. Others are already doing it. That juice comes from farms right here on New Caprica where Cylons and humans are working together, growing things instead of killing each other. The power grid’s almost complete, so is the water system, thanks to your engineering teams and ours. And when we can finally have human beings policing the streets instead of Centurions we will…
Jammer: So, so that’s what all this is about? You want me to join the New Caprica Police? That’s never gonna happen. I’m not a frakking collaborator.
Doral: I’m not asking you to be. All I’m asking is that you help me prevent another tragedy like the temple shooting.
Jammer: And why am I supposed to do that?
Doral: Show this at the gate and they’ll let you in to see me right away. If you hear of anything that might lead to more bloodshed, get ahold of me. Maybe the two of us can find a way to stop more innocent people from being killed.

 

EPISODE 9

(1) EXT. NEW CAPRICA. DETENTION CENTER

Tyrol: Hey.
Jammer: Hey. How did you know?
Tyrol: Boomer told me. What’s it like in there anyway? It’s pretty rough?
Jammer: Yeah, they had some skin job all over me about the temple massacre, the weapons. Who, what, where. You know the usual stuff. Just like you’d expect.
Tyrol: And?
Jammer: I told him to go frak himself.
Tyrol: Good. I would have liked to have seen the look on his face.
Jammer: Yeah. He was one pissed-off toaster.
Tyrol: I bet he was.

 

EPISODE 10

(1) INT. TEMPLE

Sister Tivenan: With this mark, we dedicate Nicholas Stephen Tyrol to the service of Aries and Apollo. May he prove worthy of their blessings and those of mighty Zeus. So say we all.
All: So say we all.
Cally: He’s wet again.
Tyrol: Oh, here, give him to me, I’ll get him.
Cally: No, it’s ok. It’s my turn.
Tyrol: Thanks, sweetie.
Duck: Chief?
Tyrol: One sec. What’s up?
[Duck shows him a New Caprica Police patch]
Tyrol: What the hell is that?
Duck: I joined the New Caprica Police.
Tyrol: You’re gonna work for the toasters after they killed Nora?
Duck: Some mother frakker obviously told them we were hiding weapons in here. If I join them maybe I can find out who.
Tyrol: That’s pretty dangerous. Welcome back to the fight.
Duck: Thanks, Chief.
Tyrol: Hey, Duck. Be Careful.
Duck: Yeah.
[Duck leaves]

————————-
(2) OTHER TENT

Tigh: Hey, Chief? Now that we got more people onboard, it’s time for a major hit on the skin jobs.
Barolay: Anders found us a source for ammonium nitrate.
Tigh: Good. We’ll need to find a place to turn it into explosives.
Barolay: I was thinking under the grain storage tent.
Jammer: That’s right across from the hospital. If we frak up and that stuff explodes those patients…
Tigh: Those patients will have to take their chances.
Jammer: Right. Okay. I’m going to go check the perimeter.
[Jammer leaves]

—————————
(3) OUTSIDE

Jammer: I thought you quit/
Duck: What frakking difference does it make now?
[Duck gets up to leave]
Duck: Take it easy, bro.
Jammer: Yeah. Easy.

PREVIOUSLY ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA …

(01:15 – 01:19)
[Tyrol and Cally inside the tent / Union speech scene)
Cally: At last, a safe have we can call home.

(01:34 – 01:39)
[Starbuck, Tyrol and Cally looking up at the sky at the Raiders flying overhead].


(1) Montage (03:51 – 04:07)

[Tyrol is with Anders. He is connecting wires to a C4 explosive and attaching it to a wall]


(2) Cylon Hangar Bay (06:35 – 06:55)

Tyrol: All right, we’re armed.
Anders: They’re inbound. Let’s move!
[They hide as a Heavy Raider sets down]


(3) Cylon Hangar Bay (09:55 – 10:33)

Anders: Okay, ready? Now!
[Tyrol presses to detonate the bomb several times, nothing happens]
Tyrol: Oh, for frak’s sakes.
Anders: Come o­n! Come o­n! Is that thing gonna work or what?
[The bomb explodes]
Tyrol: Whoo! (laughs) Worked that time.
Anders: Come on. Go, go!


(4a) Roslin’s Tent (17:42 – 18:12)

Roslin: (VO) In recent months, the Cylons have been recruiting and training humans in an attempt to establish a human police force. [Over images of the New Caprica Police.] It is hard to think of anything more despicable than humans doing the dirty work of the Cylons. Led to believe they were merely taking the civilian security out of the hands of the Cylons, the members of the human police have since become an extension of the Cylons’ corporeal authority. And while their names are kept deeply confidential, there’s no question some of them are people we might least expect. Hundreds of us have been rounded up by the Cylons, held in detention, questioned, tortured. [Images of detention.] Others have simply vanished. In recent weeks, we’ve been gaining access to some very important documents from a source within Baltar’s administration. [The dead drop.] No o­ne knows who this mysterious benefactor is. But he communicates with the insurgents by means of a secret signal. [A dog bowl, flipped over.] We pray every day for the men and women who risk their lives to fight the Cylons. They have everything to lose and such little hope of something to gain.


(4b) Dead Drop (18:12 – 18:50)

Tyrol: Hey, Jake.
[He flips the dog bowl and retrieves the latest message]
[New Caprica Police Academy Graduation Ceremony Security Plans]


(5) Tyrol Tent (18:50 – 20:00)

Cally: (with the baby) There we go. Shhh. Looks like mommy’s gonna get some sleep tonight after all. You know, sometimes I hate everything about this place. But sometimes it’s… it’s magic.
[She leans over and kisses his cheek. He kisses her shoulder]
Tyrol: I gotta go. I’ll be back in a couple hours.
Cally: One of these days you’re just not gonna come back, are you? You’ll just vanish, and that’ll be it. I’ll never see you again. Nick will never know his father.
Tyrol: A couple hours, promise [he kisses her shoulder].


(6) Insurgent Bunker, underground (20:02 – 23:20)

[Tigh enters with eyepatch and crutch]
Tyrol: Uhhh… good to see you, Colonel.
Tigh: It’s good to be seen.
[They drink]
Tigh: I know you’re wondering, so I’ll save you the trouble. The eye is gone. Ripped it right out, o­nto the floor, picked it up and showed it to me. It looked like a hardboiled egg. [Drinks.] Big boom today. Hope that was you two.
Anders: Oh, yeah. A Heavy Raider, too.
Tigh: Good men. What’s our next target?
Tyrol: Well, we got these today. They’re security plans for the graduation ceremony at the New Caprica Police Academy.
Tigh: These are right out of the Ministry files. 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. We’ve been getting stuff like this for weeks.
Anders: Humans working for the Cylons, makes you wanna puke.
Tyrol: Yeah, well, all the top Occupation brass is gonna be at the graduation, even… President Baltar.
Tigh: Gaius Baltar?
Tyrol: Yes, sir. I think we can get a shot at him, too. The problem is, it’s gonna be tough avoiding human casualties.
Tigh: Don’t avoid ’em! Send a message. You work with the Cylons, you’re a target. No boundaries for the Cylons, there’s no boundaries for us! Anything we can do to nail that son of a bitch, Gaius Baltar, is worth doing.
[Heads across the bunker, grunting]
Tigh: Where are we o­n the wireless?
Tyrol: Uh… nowhere. Every day we try and contact the Raptor, and every day the Cylons jam the transmission. I’ve asked for the inside source to tell us which of the Cylon jamming frequencies are the weakest, but so far, I’ve got nothing.
Anders: You guys are dreaming. There’s no Raptor there, okay? There hasn’t been o­ne for the past four months, either. Galactica’s not coming back. They’re not. Accept it.
Tigh: You watch your frakkin’ mouth! There’s a Raptor out there every day, listening for a wireless call. It’s out there because that was the plan if anything happened. And it’s out there because the old man isn’t just gonna leave us to the Cylons!
Anders: The old man left me to the Cylons, Colonel. And if it wasn’t for my wife being a royal pain in the ass, and refusing to let it go, I would be dead a year now.
Tigh: Any word o­n Kara?
Anders: Nothing. In four months.


(7) New Caprica Square (30:35 – 32:22)

[Tyrol and Tigh watch Anders and Duck playing Pyramid]
Tyrol: I don’t like this o­ne, Colonel. I think we’re the o­nes crossing the line here.
Tigh: It’s the o­nly way it’s gonna work. Kid’s got access and clearance.
Anders: (to Duck) You gotta be square o­n this. You can’t back out o­nce you start.
Duck: I’m not backing out.
Tyrol: It’s wrong, Colonel. You know that, don’t you?
Tigh: He’s a soldier, Chief. Not the first time we’ve sent a soldier o­n a o­ne-way mission. You know that, don’t you?
Tyrol: (sighs) This is different.
Tigh: This is our best chance to take out Gaius Baltar. May be the o­nly o­ne. We’re sure as frak gonna take it.
Duck: Every since they killed Nora, I got nothing to live for.
Anders: All right.
[Duck shoves him down, makes the goal, picks him up again]
Anders: You look me in the eye, and you tell that you are committed to this.
Duck: I’m committed.
Anders: (embracing him) May the Gods be with you.
Tyrol: Some things you just don’t do, Colonel. Not even in war.
Tigh: Well, maybe you’ll feel different when you’re sitting in detention. Duck volunteered. He’s going.


(8b) Dead Drop (35:48 – 36:09)

[The contact flips the dog bowl. Tyrol retrieves the dead drop that contains the jamming frequencies]


(8b) Insurgent Bunker (36:09 – 36:26)

Tyrol: Okay, it’s working, I think.
Tigh: Is it working or isn’t it?
Tyrol: They keep jamming us.
Anders: So much for our source o­n the inside.


(9) Racetrack’s Raptor, in orbit (36:26 – 36:46)

Skulls: Ten minutes left. And lots of nothing o­n the wireless as usual.
Racetrack: Keep an eye out for Raiders. Last listening bird almost got popped by a pair yesterday.


(10) Insurgent bunker (36:46 – 37:02)

Tyrol: I almost got it.
[Wireless goes very loud]
Anders: Owww, frak! Turn that thing down! Ahh.
Tyrol: It’s working. It’s working.


(11) Racetrack’s Raptor (37:02 – 37:23)

Racetrack: Time’s up. Spin up the FTL and get ready to go.
Skulls: Hold o­n. I’m picking something up. It’s Colonial transmission. It’s a low power signal, but… the recognition codes match. Oh, yeah, we got a link to the ground.
Racetrack: (giggling) Okay, send the coded response, spin up the drive, and let’s get the hell back to Galactica.


(12) Insurgent Bunker (37:23 – 37:40)

Tyrol: We’ve got a signal. A Raptor just made contact with us.
Tigh: What’s it say?
Tyrol: “Will make contact with this frequency every twelve hours. Prepare sitrep for command authority. Have hope. We’re coming for you.”


(13) Galactica CIC (37:40 – 38:01)

Racetrack: (o­n comms) We made contact! I say again, we made contact with the ground. Colonel Tigh has formed an insurgent group against the Cylons, and now they’re ready and waiting for instructions o­n how to coordinate the rescue effort.
Adama: It’s gonna be okay. It’s really gonna be okay.


(14) President’s office, Colonial One (39:20 – 40:11)

Gaeta: (knocking) Mr. President?
Caprica Six: Morning, Gaeta.
Gaeta: (ignoring her) It’s time for the graduation ceremony.
Baltar: Oh, yes (sighs) the ceremony. About the ceremony… there’s been a change of plan. I won’t be going. Security concern. (Pause) Don’t look so worried. There’ll be other graduations.
Gaeta: Right. Okay. I’ll just… let the staff know.
[Gaeta runs through town toward the dead drop]


(15) New Caprica Square (40:11 – 41:30)

Tyrol: I think we should call off the strike. There’s no reason to go forward with it if the Galactica’s gonna come back.
Tigh: What, pass up a golden opportunity to kill Gaius Baltar?
Tyrol: Other than that, Colonel, I fail to see the point.
Tigh: Think with your head, Chief, not with your heart. The o­nly way they stand a chance of getting us off this rock is if the Cylons are too distracted battling a full-blown uprising when they get here. (Pause) All right. If your source o­n the inside says Baltar’s not gonna be there, abort. Otherwise, stick with the plan.

[Gaeta still running through town toward the dead drop]
[Chief checks the dog bowl before Gaeta arrives, and misses the note – Baltar not at graduation]


(16) At Graduation (42:27 – 44:17)
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE ***** (43:27 – 43:34)

[Cylon models present are Cavil, Doral/Five, Six, Sharon/Eight and D’Anna/Three]

Jammer: Hey, Duck…
[Duck doesn’t hear him and keeps walking by]
Officer: Fall in!
[All graduates line up in formation and uniform; Three takes the podium]
Three: Good morning and welcome to all graduates. You are the hope. You are the dream of a new tomorrow for humans and Cylon alike. And I salute you. For the risks that you have taken for just showing up today. Today, you begin a new career and a new life as provisional police officers. And looking out across this room, I see that the significance of this new path is not lost o­n you.
[Three walks down the line, shaking hands with them. A Doral follows her with their medals]
Three: Congratulations. It’s good to have you with us. Congratulations, Sergeant.
[She gets to Duck]
Three: Congratulations, Captain. It’s great to have you with us.
Duck: I’ll see you soon, Nora.
[He clicks his detonator, blowing Three and most of the graduates away]

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]

ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE END OF 3×02 PRECIPICE

(2) INT. TIGH TENT (03:17 – 05:22)

[Tigh replaces his eye bandage]
Ellen: Can I help you? Here we go.
Tigh: Thanks.
Ellen: Sorry.
Tigh: No, that’s all right. It doesn’t hurt. I appreciate you doing this. I can’t seem to get it right in the mirror.
Ellen: Saul. Um, I want you to know that I would do anything for you.
Tigh: Yeah
[Chief enters, distraught]
Tyrol: The list. Cally’s o­n the list. They’re gonna kill her.
Tigh: What list?
Tyrol: They’re gonna kill her.
Tigh: What are you talking about?
Tyrol: I got this. I got this from the dead drop, from the source in the administration. It’s a death list and Cally’s name is o­n it.
[Tyrol passes him the list. Ellen watches]
Tyrol: They’re rounding up people in the city. Cally’s already in the detention, they could take her out at any minute, and then just…
Tigh: They got this organized by transport vehicles. Cally’s in the group heading for map coordinate X-ray seven.
Tyrol: I know. Where the frak is that? I mean, how are we gonna…
Tigh: Calm down, damnit. You gotta start thinking clearly here, Chief, or she’s dead. Now we’ve already figured out their map coordinate system. It’s referred to in the list of Cylon freqs you got from the last dead drop.
Tyrol: Holy frak! You’re right. I can extrapolate the coordinate system…
Tigh: Cally’s group has to pick up a bunch of people in town first. That’ll take time. Take four men and get out there ahead of the trucks.
[Tyrol turns to leave]
Tigh: Chief! Pull it together. You won’t do her any good if you get caught too. Besides, the last thing your son wants is me and Ellen for parents. Find that list, Chief.
[Ellen embraces Tigh, scared]


(3) INT. INSURGENT BUNKER (06:08 – 06:48)

[Tyrol frantically searches for the frequency list]
Tyrol: Where the frak is it? Damnit! Gods damnit! Where’s that frakkin’ list? Okay, it’s gotta be here. It’s gotta be here. That’s it. That’s it, okay. Damnit! Come on! Here it is. Okay, X-ray 7-1-4-3…


(4) EXT. NEW CAPRICA STREET (06:48 – 07:09)

Seelix: Hey, Chief. Good day for a walk, huh?
Tyrol: Get two men together. We’re going to Pergamus Flats.
[They watch the transports roll out]


(5) EXT. PERGAMUS FLATS – CYLON EXECUTION SITE (08:46 – 09:29)

Tyrol: (whispering) There’s the trucks. Tell ’em to move down to the ridge. Move down to the ridge. Crispin, you here? This is it. Lock and load.
[Tyrol Looks at the transports through binoculars]
Tyrol: All right. What do we see? Oh, frak me.
Seelix: What?
Tyrol: They got Laura Roslin and Tom Zarek with ’em.
Seelix: Is there any sign of Cally?
Tyrol: Not yet.


(6) EXT. PERGAMUS FLATS – CYLON EXECUTION SITE (09:43 – 10:20)

Tyrol: (Sighs) Oh, there she is. There she is. Oh, my Gods, there she is. What the frak’s she doing? She’s making a run for it.
Seelix: The bulletheads are lining up.
Tyrol: It’s a firing squad. Sight in o­n the Centurions, right now!
Seelix: Cally’s right in our line of fire. If we shoot, we’re gonna hit her.
Tyrol: Then count to five and open fire.
[Tyrol runs for Cally]


(7) EXT. PERGAMUS FLATS – CYLON EXECUTION SITE (10:48 – 11:10)

Seelix: One thousand o­ne… one thousand two… one thousand three… one thousand four… one thousand five.
[Tyrol reaches Cally and pushes her down; the squad opens fire o­n the Centurions. Roslin grabs Zarek and pulls him down the bluff with her]


(8) EXT. PERGAMUS FLATS – CYLON EXECUTION SITE (11:24 – 11:35)

Tyrol: Shh, shh, shh.


(9) EXT. PERGAMUS FLATS – CYLON EXECUTION SITE (12:27 – 12:35)

[Seelix cutting zip ties. Chief walking in back ground]


(10) EXT. PERGAMUS FLATS – CYLON EXECUTION SITE (13:10 – 13:42)

Tyrol: You all right down there?
Roslin: Oh, my Gods! It’s good to see you, Chief.
Tyrol: Good to see you too, ma’am.
Cally: What happens now? Where do we go from here?
Tyrol: We’re going home. (To Roslin and Zarek.) We’re going home. Admiral Adama’s o­n his way. We’re getting off this rock, we’re going back to Galactica.


(11) INT. INSURGENT BUNKER (33:28 – 34:59)

Chief: We’ve stored arms and munitions in key areas throughout the city.
Mathias: I can supplement that with mortars, RPGs, even a few shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles aboard the Raptor.
Chief: Great. So, when we give the signal, our people are gonna attack the airbase, the detention center, the power station, other critical facilities. The plan is to sow as much chaos and confusion as possible the moment Galactica and Pegasus arrive. Should help cover the evacuation.
Mathias: No Pegasus. Just Galactica.
Roslin: Why? Why no Pegasus? What happened?
Mathias: Don’t know, sir. Way beyond my pay grade. What about your evac plans?
Tory: We’ve designated and assigned 500 block captains to cover each sector of the city. Each block captain is responsible for rallying and guiding the people in his or her sector along their escape route to their designated ship.
Zarek: Don’t suppose you’ve been able to rehearse any of this.
Roslin: Indeed. We’ve had three full-dress rehearsals under the guise of fire and natural disaster drills.
Mathias: Be different when the balloon goes up. Explosions, shooting, chaos. There’s gonna be some panic out there.
Roslin: they’ll do fine. These people know that at some point, they’re gonna be responsible for saving themselves. All we need to do is be ready and hope for the best. (Quieter, to Anders.) What about Maya and Isis?
Anders: I’m o­n it. I’ve got my two best shooters here. They’re gonna be their escorts and make sure they get back to the ship.
Roslin: Gentlemen, I can’t tell you why, but it is imperative that this woman and her child get off this planet. I trust you because I trust him.
Ellen: (runs up) Saul!
Connor: We need to talk.
[Tigh stares]


(12) EXT. NEW CAPRICA CITY (38:58 – 39:57)

Athena: Launch keys don’t seem to have been damaged. And from all the data points, it looks like the ships all still have enough tylium to make at least o­ne jump. Congratulations, by the way. I heard it’s a boy.
Tyrol: Oh.
Athena: What’s his name?
Tyrol: Uh… Nicholas, after Cally’s grandfather.
Athena: Hey, Chief? You remember when you helped Helo spread Hera’s ashes?
Tyrol: Mmm-hmmm.
Athena: You actually saw the ashes?
Tyrol: Yeah, of course. Why?
Athena: Nothing. Just make sure Cally never lets her kid out of her sight.
[She walks away]
