It was great to be out filming in nature, especially because we got to shoot in the day time with no rain. 😁 Michelle and I tried to get to this location when we did our #BSGFilmingLocations hunt but it’s private property and we couldn’t get to it. Boo. #BSG15Years

Episode Synopsis: When Commander Adama learns that Kara disobeyed orders and Jumped to Caprica on orders from President Roslin, he demands the president’s resignation, with the implied threat of a military coup. Roslin refuses his demand and sparks a confrontation.

As civil war simmers in the fleet, the conflict on Caprica heats up. Kara completes her mission for Laura: She finds the Arrow of Apollo that, according to prophecy, will lead the fleet to Earth. No sooner does she pick it up, however, than she is thrust into a battle to the death with Number Six.

Meanwhile, Adama sends Sharon and Racetrack in a Raptor equipped with a Cylon transponder, to fire a nuclear warhead that will destroy the base ship. But when the missile release jams, Sharon lands the Raptor deep inside the base ship, to deliver the warhead manually.

Once outside her ship, however, Sharon is greeted by dozens of Sharon avatars, all Cylons like her, welcoming her home. She retreats, but is told that she and her fellow Cylons will meet again. She and Racetrack escape the base ship, which explodes.

Mission accomplished, Sharon returns home to the Galactica. She warmly accepts Commander Adama’s thanks and praise for a job well done, then she coldly shoots him, point-blank, in the chest..

TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 1×13: Kobol’s Last Gleaming (Part 2) (April 1, 2005)

(1) KOBOL – CRASH SITE

[The crew is evacuating their burning Raptor]
Crashdown: Everyone! Come on! Come on, move!
Tyrol: Everybody up! Cally, up, up, move!
Crashdown: Come on, go, go, go! Come on, move! Out, come on!
Tyrol: Get them out of the chairs, drag them out!
Crashdown: Come on! I got him, I got him!
Tyrol: Oh, for Gods’ sakes…
Crashdown: I got his legs, I got his legs!
Tyrol: I got him! Try it on your shoulder, on your shoulder.
Crashdown: Aahh! Doc! Doc, come on, Doc!
[Everyone but Baltar has egressed from the Raptor. Baltar is trapped by flames inside]
Baltar: Crash!
Crashdown: Doc!
Baltar: Crash!
Crashdown: Come on, Doc! Doc! Doc!
Number Six: Take my hand. Gaius, take my hand.
[Baltar takes her (really Crashdown’s) hand, and escapes the Raptor]
Crashdown: Hey, hey, come on, wake up! Stay with me, we gotta go! Stay with me, Doc, come on! Get down! Get down!
[The Raptor explodes]
Tyrol: Stay down, you guys, stay down, stay down! L.T. You okay? I think that’s both tanks. Let’s see what we got, get them now!
Selix: Aah…
Cally: You all right?
Tyrol: Get the supplies before they burn up- go, go!
Cally: Right away.
Selix: Both tanks, gas is gone, it’s all gone.
[As the Raptor party stumbles around, Gaius wanders off by himself]

(2) KOBOL – CRASH SITE

Crashdown: How we doin’ on that?
Selix: (working on a radio) It’s not responding, sir.
Crashdown: Are you even trained to use this thing? (re: Socinus) How’s he doin’, Chief?
Tyrol: (sighs) Not doin’ so good. I don’t know if his lungs are burned or what.
Crashdown: Well, he’s a tough kid, he’s gonna- he’s gonna pull through. Get those wounds looked at, Chief.
Tyrol: Yeah. Lieutenant… shouldn’t we be moving out? I mean… do you have a plan for tactical deployment or…?
Crashdown: Plan for tactical deployment, Chief? Get to the high ground, it’ll be our best chance of being seen by a search party.
Tyrol: High ground’s also our best chance of being seen by the Cylons. They’re flying around, sir, they might land troops before we get rescued.
Crashdown: That’s true.
Tyrol: Yeah. Sir, if I may suggest that we take cover, on the ground? Maybe somewhere where we won’t be seen from the air?
Crashdown: Okay, yeah, Chief, that’s… (sighs) Carry on, Chief.
[Crashdown seems to have a bit of a breakdown and walks off]
Tyrol: (mouthing) Frak!

(3) KOBOL – CRASH SITE

Tyrol: Tarn, Selix, can I get a hand up here, please?
Selix: Yes, sir.
Tyrol: (re: their downed crewmate) Cally, how’s he doin’?
Cally: Not good, sir.
Tyrol: Get a blanket on him, keep him warm.
[Elsewhere, Baltar is lying down savouring life. Number Six appears, dressed angelically all in white and stunningly beautiful]
Number Six: How are you?
Baltar: Alive. You saved me. You saved my life.
Number Six: Care to return the favor?
Baltar: You in need of saving?
Number Six: (takes his hand) You wondered why you were chosen? Why God chose you, above all other humans to survive and serve his purpose? Now’s the time to find out why.
[Baltar gets up and follows her, walking hand in hand]
