Episode Synopsis: After a flight deck accident kills 13 pilots and wounds many others, Kara is thrust into service as a flight instructor and ordered to turn a group of civilian pilots and academy washouts into full-fledged Viper pilots.

The assignment brings back painful memories for Kara. She can’t forget how she let Zak, Commander Adama’s son and her lover, pass Basic Flight when he wasn’t ready, and how it ultimately cost him his life. Determined never to repeat the mistake, she flunks out the would-be pilots on their first day.

She is immediately confronted, first by Lee, then by Adama, and forced to admit to the Commander her role in Zak’s death. Adama orders her to continue training the “nuggets.” Meanwhile, Sgt. Hadrian continues her investigation into the detonators found in Sharon’s spacecraft, and President Roslin consults the ship’s doctor about her cancer.

Far away on Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon and Helo find a secret cache of food.

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 1×04: Act of Contrition (January 28, 2005)

(1) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK

Pilots: (chanting) Raptor pilots flying high… Raptor pilots flying high…
Tyrol: What the hell is this? Flat Top’s thousandth landing, nobody tells me? Now we look like idiots. Find a wagon!
Crew-woman: Yes, sir.
Tyrol: Somebody get me a wagon!


(2) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK

Tyrol: (re: a wagon) This one’s perfect, here, take this. Give me a hand.
Crewman: Where do you want this?
Tyrol: Put it wherever. You two, come here… take this wagon to the pilots.


(3) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK

[The Master-at-Arms is inspecting the scene flanked by Tyrol]
Hadrian: Metal fatigue. Old equipment… worn strap fails, drops a million cubit drone to the deck, kills 13 pilots, lands 7 more in sickbay. It’s hard to hear this, I know, but we got lucky. If that had been a missile, instead of a com drone… it’d have taken out the side of the ship.
Tyrol: (shocked) Never had a death on my hangar deck. Accidents… never a death.
