(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.

Written By: Anne Cofell Saunders
Directed By: Michael Rymer

(1) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK
***** 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)

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

[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.
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)

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. GALACTICA – PEGASUS PILOT BRIEFING ROOM
***** 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.
Whiplash: 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
***** 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

[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, 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.
Gage: 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: Ohh, 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

[Thorne enters Athena’s cell with a couple marines]
Athena: Who the hell are you?

(7C) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM

Vireem: Remember, 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

[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. What makes it so important? Why would two basestars be tasked to protect it?
[He grabs her by the throat and pushes her against a wall]
Athena: (choking) I don’t… (coughing) I don’t know.
[Thorne slaps her across the face and she falls onto the bed]

(7E) INT. GALACTICA – TOOL ROOM

Gage: Think Thorne will give us a chance at this one too?
Vireem: Nah, I heard him say he’s going to have to break her in a little first.
[Helo moves toward Vireem aggressively. Tyrol stops him]
Tyrol: Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, not here, not here, 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.

(7F) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL

[Thorne is beating the hell out of Athena]
Athena: (crying) What the frak?
Thorne: Hold her.
[Thorne pushes her over the bed. A marine grabs her arms. Thorne grabs her pants]
Athena: No!

(7G) INT. GALACTICA – HALLWAY

[Helo and Tyrol are running to Athena’s cell]
Tyrol: Move; move; move; move.

Guard: Freeze! 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!

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

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.

(11) INT. GALACTICA – HALLWAY
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

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: 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
***** 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]

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

(1) INT. COLONIAL ONE
***** 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–
Cain: Oh, let’s just cut through the handholding, 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 here more 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 execution until after the attack.
Adama: And 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
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Cottle: Your fluid and electrolytes levels are stable. But I think the baby’s 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 going to 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

Helo: Aren’t we supposed to be dead. Everyone 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
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Apollo: A 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

Tyrol: You know, when we get outta here… I’m going to 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. But I’ve gotta let it go. I so thought I had 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 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.

Helo: Oh, looky 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!
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. Lieutenant 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.
Helo: Thank you.
Tyrol: Thank you, Colonel.
Fisk: I don’t want your thanks. I owe Lieutenant 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

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

Cain: 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, hmm?
[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.

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!

(1) INT. GALACTICA – ATHENA’S CELL
***** 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: Yeah, I remember. (crying) 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

[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.

Rya: Are you Doctor Cottle?

Cottle: Rya’s four months pregnant and doesn’t want to 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 then she leaves. I don’t ask a lot of questions. You’re gonna start. I wanna talk to her.
Adama: 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.

Tyrol: Help!

(5) INT. GALACTICA – ROOM

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 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 going 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

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 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

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: But 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.

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 2×20: Lay Down Your Burdens (Part 2) (March 10, 2006)

(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 Captian.
Starbuck: The same thing we always do, fight them until we can’t.

——————
When Jammer leaves the detention, he asks Tyrol how did he know. Tyrol’s response has caused some debate in the the various online communities, including “Boomer told me.”, “Rumor told me.”, etc. Really not important unless it is “Boomer told me.” Thanks, –FrankieG 11:31, 3 October 2006 (CDT) And “Ol’ Frank told me”, “little bird told me”, etc. Quite a lot of variations. Noneofyourbusiness 12:48, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Actually we’ve analyzed it now and are confident that it’s “Boomer told me”. Noneofyourbusiness 19:41, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Your analysis is correct. – Ngarenn 17:27, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
