TRANSCRIPT: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – 4×13: The Oath (January 30, 2009)

PREVIOUSLY, ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA…

Tyrol: It’s possible. It’s labour-intensive, a lot of grunt work, but we should be able to upgrade the jump drives in the entire fleet with Cylon technology.

NOTE: In the previous episode we only HEARD (did not see) Tyrol say “It’s possible. It’s labor-intensive, a lot of grunt work, but we should be able to upgrade
all
the jump drives in the entire Fleet with Cylon technology.”


(1) INT. GALACTICA – AGATHON’S QUARTERS
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Gage: Remember me, big man? From Pegasus? You and that toaster Tyrol wasted my friend Thorne.
Helo: Yeah. We didn’t want that to happen.
Gage: You had a choice, but you backed the skinjob over your own kind. And to prove how messed up it was, instead of showin’ you the airlock, your Cylon-loving Admiral promoted you to CAG.
Helo: Frak you.
Gage: Sorry. I’m savin’ myself for your sweet, toaster wife.
[A Marine knocks Helo out with the butt of his rifle]


(2) INT. GALACTICA – CULT HQ

Tyrol: Stack a heavy pile right here. Stop them comin’ in that door. Come on, people, faster’s better! They could show up at anytime! Let’s go!


(3) INT. GALACTICA – CULT HQ

Baltar: Mr. Tyrol? Mr. Tyrol? You are absolutely certain that it’s imperative I leave?
Tyrol: Look, I only know what Jeanne saw. The hangar deck’s gone. CIC and weapons are next. And then nobody’s safe. (talking into walkie) Hang on.
Baltar: Right, right… So, we should be getting out of here soon…
Tyrol: (talking into walkie) Go. (Tyrol walks off)
Baltar: And getting hold of some weapons, maybe? Because…


(4) INT. GALACTICA – HALLWAY (OUTISED CULT HQ)

Apollo: Madam President, wait…
Roslin: No, it’s all right. They know who I am. (to Paulla) I need to speak to Dr. Baltar.
Paulla: No, you’re not welcome in here.
Tyrol: Hey, hey, hey… I got this. Go ahead. Go on.
Roslin: I need to see Baltar.
Tyrol: There’s somethin’ you need to know. I got people all over the ship givin’ me information. The admiral was just led away from the CIC.
Roslin: Where to?
Tyrol: No idea. My guess would be the brig. Don’t trust the ship’s comm systems. We’re using these. The hangar deck’s lost to us. If you can get your father to the secondary storage bay within the hour, I’ll get him off the ship.
Roslin: I’ll handle the fleet. Go.
Apollo: Galen… Why are you doin’ this?
Tyrol: The old man deserves a better fate than what he’ll get from them. Go find your father, Lee.

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

Adama: How many men do you think Gaeta has?
Apollo: Enough.
Starbuck: Hold up here.
Tigh: Middle of this mess, you really think Tyrol’s found a way off the ship?
Apollo: I don’t know, you tell me. He’s one of yours.
Tigh: You got a problem?
Apollo: Yeah, I got a problem. Your people annihilated the human race.
Adama: Keep it down.
Tigh: No, let the great statesman talk.
Apollo: Now, you wanna know why Tom Zarek’s got so much clout in this fleet? Because when you get past the arrogance, he’s right. We can pretend to put it behind us, exchange lofty words about an alliance, but if this is what survival has come to…
Adama: It’s all we’ve got. Now, calm down.
Apollo: It’s all they left us.
Starbuck: Secondary storage airlock this way. Let’s go.

(9) INT. GALACTICA – SECONDARY STORAGE BAY

Tyrol: We’re ready.
Adama: It’s good to see you, Mr. Tyrol.
Apollo: Forgot this place was down here.
Tyrol: Yeah, everybody did. Got trashed during the raid on New Caprica, but I brought it back
online for this.

[Adama and Roslin kiss]
Roslin: I came here because… I don’t want you to worry about me. And I know what you have to do.
Voice on walkie: This is section 12, copy.
Tyrol: Go.
Voice on walkie: Marine fire team just went past. Looks like they’re comin’ your way.
Tyrol: You got about two minutes.
Adama: Mr. Tyrol. Take them back the way we came. You go with them, Colonel.
Tigh: Come too far to walk out on you now, Bill.
Starbuck: What are you doing, sir?
Adama: Colonel and I are gonna make sure that the President’s Raptor gets outta here safely.
