<i>Previously on "Battlestar Galactica":</i>

2
00:00:57,890 --> 00:01:01,929
You cannot play God then wash your
hands of the things that you've created.

3
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:03,682
Sooner or later,

4
00:01:03,770 --> 00:01:08,286
the day comes when you can't hide from
the things that you've done any more.

5
00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:17,122
Attention, all Colonial units.
Cylon attack underway.

6
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:20,646
- <i>This is no drill.</i>
- I'll be right there.

7
00:01:20,730 --> 00:01:24,439
"How", "why" doesn't really matter now.

8
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:29,729
What does matter is that,
as of this moment, we are at war.

9
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:35,002
You're full of bile, hatred... poison.

10
00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:39,447
And I'm sorry for what happened to you
down there, but I've gotta run a ship.

11
00:01:39,530 --> 00:01:44,923
The last thing I need is a one-eyed drunk
sowing discontent and disobedience.

12
00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:47,080
You can get your ass
back to your quarters

13
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:51,846
and not leave till you're ready to act like
the man I've known for the past 30 years.

14
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:54,683
That man doesn't exist any more, Bill.

15
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:57,000
You won't be seeing me again.

16
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:07,080
<i>(heartbeat/heavy breathing)</i>

17
00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:21,846
Is there really any place left
in the universe

18
00:02:21,930 --> 00:02:25,161
deserving of such a rare
and distinguished item?

19
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:30,209
I was thinking of putting it
in the bathroom right over the toilet.

20
00:02:30,290 --> 00:02:32,520
Excellent choice.

21
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:34,840
<i>(gasps)</i> Oh, my gods.

22
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:40,648
Oh, Tory, come look at this. This is
the dossier that Billy prepared for me

23
00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,244
my first day aboard <i>Galactica.</i>

24
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:48,004
I can't believe I was about
to throw this out in the trash.

25
00:02:48,610 --> 00:02:52,080
<i>(Tory)</i> The <i>Valkyrie.</i> This was Adama's
command before <i>Galactica?</i>

26
00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:54,604
- Mm-hm.
- Look at that.

27
00:02:54,690 --> 00:03:00,242
This year marks Admiral Adama's
45th anniversary in the Colonial fleet.

28
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:04,360
In fact, his commissioning date's
only a few days from now.

29
00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:08,881
Here.

30
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:13,359
I think I want to have a ceremony.

31
00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:17,045
Let's give the admiral a medal...

32
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:22,079
- for 45 years of devoted service.
- Couldn't have come at a better time.

33
00:03:22,170 --> 00:03:26,243
Give the people something
to feel good about for a change.

34
00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:29,481
<i>(alarm)</i>

35
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:33,284
<i>(Helo)</i>
<i>Set condition one throughout the ship.</i>

36
00:03:33,370 --> 00:03:37,602
I repeat, set condition one
throughout the ship. This is not a drill.

37
00:03:37,690 --> 00:03:39,567
- What's the problem?
- Three Raiders.

38
00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:42,369
CBDR, bearing 145, carom 33.

39
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:45,886
- This isn't standard wedge formation.
- Where's the CAP?

40
00:03:45,970 --> 00:03:50,964
Starbuck and Kat intercept in 98 seconds.
Looks like a pursuit. Weapons exchanged.

41
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:53,359
- Pursuit?
- Yes, sir.

42
00:03:53,450 --> 00:03:56,328
We've got two Raiders... chasing a third.

43
00:04:03,130 --> 00:04:05,724
- Have they fired on any of ours yet?
- No, sir.

44
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:08,404
What the hell are they doing?

45
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:14,167
Let's see if we can climb up their asses
without drawing fire.

46
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:16,320
They seem preoccupied
with the other one.

47
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:19,004
Any idea why Cylons
would be chasing Cylons?

48
00:04:19,090 --> 00:04:20,569
Don't know, don't care.

49
00:04:20,650 --> 00:04:24,006
Wait till we close. I don't wanna
chase them longer than I have to.

50
00:04:24,090 --> 00:04:25,159
Yeah, roger that.

51
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:35,083
- <i>(Kat) Two down, one to go!</i>
- <i>(Starbuck) Kat, check six.</i>

52
00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:38,367
<i>Damn. Kat, flank right.</i>
<i>This guy's heading for "Galactica".</i>

53
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:39,519
<i>I'm on it, Starbuck!</i>

54
00:04:39,610 --> 00:04:42,522
<i>(man) Krypter! Krypter! Krypter!</i>

55
00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:46,319
<i>This is Bulldog.</i>
<i>Get me the hell out of here. I'm wounded.</i>

56
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:51,325
<i>- (Starbuck) Who the frak is that?</i>
<i>- (Kat) Target in range. Closing in.</i>

57
00:04:51,410 --> 00:04:54,482
- <i>This is Bulldog.</i>
- <i>(Kelly)</i> Audio lock-on enabled.

58
00:04:54,570 --> 00:04:58,483
- Where is that coming from?
- It's the Raider, sir.

59
00:04:58,570 --> 00:05:02,449
- <i>(Starbuck) Take the frakking shot, Kat.</i>
- <i>(Kat) Give me one sec.</i>

60
00:05:02,530 --> 00:05:06,603
<i>Krypter! Krypter! This is Bulldog.</i>

61
00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:09,727
<i>(Starbuck) Kat, take the frakking shot!</i>

62
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:14,247
Order the Vipers
to hold their fire immediately.

63
00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:16,446
Have them escort the Raider in.

64
00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:22,323
Prisoner drill. I want the alert guard
in the hangar deck in five minutes.

65
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:24,401
Yes, sir.

66
00:05:30,010 --> 00:05:34,561
Park that bird. Let's grab this Raider.
Let's go, people. Move with a purpose.

67
00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:37,005
Make some room for the marines.

68
00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:22,967
Is it really you, sir?

69
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:37,287
Yeah.

70
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:40,804
It's me.

71
00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:44,848
Welcome home, Bulldog.

72
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,967
We may never have
this opportunity again.

73
00:08:39,650 --> 00:08:44,007
I'm assuming you appreciate
the consequences if you're discovered.

74
00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:50,080
And you understand, Commander,
that this conversation did not happen.

75
00:08:50,170 --> 00:08:52,365
Are you prepared for this?

76
00:08:53,410 --> 00:08:55,844
Of course, sir.

77
00:08:55,930 --> 00:09:01,800
On one condition - I need my men,
especially for the stealth ship.

78
00:09:01,890 --> 00:09:05,405
- There's only one pilot I trust.
- Who?

79
00:09:13,530 --> 00:09:18,206
Well, the conspiracy theorists
are gonna be disappointed.

80
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:23,728
I checked your DNA signature against
your military records and it's conclusive.

81
00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:25,801
You're not a Cylon.

82
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:30,486
Smoke?

83
00:09:33,410 --> 00:09:36,846
That's right. He's one of mine.

84
00:09:36,930 --> 00:09:40,400
<i>Disappeared about three years ago.</i>
<i>We think that he was captured.</i>

85
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:43,766
- I'd like to meet him.
- <i>Of course. I'll arrange it.</i>

86
00:09:50,570 --> 00:09:52,686
He checks out fine.

87
00:09:52,770 --> 00:09:58,686
Whatever they did to him out there,
they kept him fed and relatively healthy.

88
00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:00,761
Physically, anyway.

89
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:17,090
I know you've been through a lot.

90
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:19,604
I realise that.

91
00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:22,488
But you've got to talk to me, Danny.

92
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:28,925
How the hell did you escape
off a Cylon baseship?

93
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:38,089
Well, sir. It's like this...

94
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:43,884
The enemy had me
locked in a cell for three years.

95
00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:48,282
The accommodations were lousy,
the service was slow,

96
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:52,807
and, after a while, I felt the institution
no longer had anything to offer me.

97
00:10:52,890 --> 00:10:55,768
So I left.

98
00:10:58,450 --> 00:11:00,964
You had me worried there for a moment.

99
00:11:01,050 --> 00:11:05,487
I thought maybe the Cylons had beaten
the bullshit attitude out of you.

100
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:12,565
How did you get out?

101
00:11:17,690 --> 00:11:21,478
I thought I was gonna die in there, Bill.

102
00:11:25,010 --> 00:11:28,446
But a while ago,
they all started getting sick.

103
00:11:28,530 --> 00:11:30,998
I <i>mean... really</i> sick.

104
00:11:32,770 --> 00:11:35,762
- You mean a virus?
- Yeah.

105
00:11:35,850 --> 00:11:37,841
We've seen that too.

106
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:41,445
I heard them say it was spreading,
getting worse.

107
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:44,804
But eventually I realise...

108
00:11:46,450 --> 00:11:48,600
I'm not catching it.

109
00:11:49,650 --> 00:11:53,279
- I'm immune.
- So what did you do?

110
00:11:53,730 --> 00:11:58,281
I was smart... patient. I waited.

111
00:11:58,370 --> 00:12:00,406
<i>(metallic clanging)</i>

112
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:02,606
<i>(Number Three)</i> Well, well.

113
00:12:02,690 --> 00:12:04,601
You're looking good.

114
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:07,121
<i>Strong. (chuckles)</i>

115
00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:09,360
Me, I've felt better.

116
00:12:10,690 --> 00:12:13,329
I don't know why you guys
do all that exercising.

117
00:12:15,330 --> 00:12:18,720
What, are you trying
to stave off getting old?

118
00:12:20,450 --> 00:12:23,681
Doesn't seem such a tragedy to me,

119
00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:26,238
given the alternatives.

120
00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:28,400
<i>(bars clang)</i>

121
00:12:28,490 --> 00:12:30,481
Know what I'm saying?

122
00:12:34,290 --> 00:12:36,121
Do I look that bad?

123
00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:41,046
You know what I think?

124
00:12:41,130 --> 00:12:43,690
I think you're afraid.

125
00:12:43,770 --> 00:12:45,169
<i>(bars clang)</i>

126
00:12:48,930 --> 00:12:51,000
Argh!

127
00:12:56,690 --> 00:13:01,684
Let me try and understand exactly what
happened. I'm just gonna go back a little.

128
00:13:01,770 --> 00:13:05,843
About a year prior
to the Cylon attack on the Colonies,

129
00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:10,048
you were on a mission
with Admiral Adama. Is that correct?

130
00:13:17,490 --> 00:13:20,084
It was a... a black ops mission.

131
00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:26,729
You remember the Tauron Colonists
were such outlaws,

132
00:13:26,810 --> 00:13:30,803
always... pushing their luck
with the admiralty every chance they got?

133
00:13:30,890 --> 00:13:32,403
<i>(Roslin)</i> Right.

134
00:13:32,490 --> 00:13:36,608
The Taurons were drilling for tylium ore

135
00:13:36,690 --> 00:13:40,319
on a moon that was too close
to the Cylon armistice line.

136
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:49,445
We knew that they had to get out of there
or risk provoking the Cylons.

137
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:55,965
I'm sorry, but how did this result
in his ship being shot down?

138
00:13:56,050 --> 00:14:00,680
He was my recon pilot.
He was there to gather evidence.

139
00:14:00,770 --> 00:14:04,240
The Taurons must've seen us coming
because they ambushed him.

140
00:14:04,330 --> 00:14:08,448
Lieutenant Novacek was shot down
by the Taurons in cold blood.

141
00:14:09,290 --> 00:14:12,202
<i>(Bulldog) Krypter!</i>
<i>I've got damage to the port engine.</i>

142
00:14:12,290 --> 00:14:15,999
<i>Bird is down.</i>
<i>Repeat, bird is down. Request rescue!</i>

143
00:14:16,090 --> 00:14:18,650
<i>Krypter! Krypter! Krypter! This is Bulldog.</i>

144
00:14:18,730 --> 00:14:22,325
<i>Bird is down.</i>
<i>Repeat, bird is down. Request rescue!</i>

145
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:29,444
So what did you do?

146
00:14:30,530 --> 00:14:32,521
I made a bad call.

147
00:14:34,650 --> 00:14:40,122
His ship was gone.
No ejection on DRADIS, no distress call.

148
00:14:40,930 --> 00:14:43,000
He was dead.

149
00:14:43,930 --> 00:14:46,080
So I left.

150
00:14:48,210 --> 00:14:50,360
But the lieutenant did eject, obviously,

151
00:14:50,450 --> 00:14:56,286
and somehow survived in his ejection seat
long enough for the Cylons to find him.

152
00:14:56,370 --> 00:14:58,088
Wow.

153
00:14:59,570 --> 00:15:02,130
Could you both give us a moment?
Thank you, Tory.

154
00:15:02,210 --> 00:15:04,519
And thank you very much, Lieutenant.

155
00:15:04,610 --> 00:15:06,202
Madam President.

156
00:15:06,290 --> 00:15:11,922
Why don't we check the fleet registry, see
if any of your family might have survived?

157
00:15:30,690 --> 00:15:34,842
So are you gonna tell me
what really happened?

158
00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:37,490
You're gonna have to trust me
on this one, OK?

159
00:15:37,570 --> 00:15:39,640
It's my mess.

160
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:41,561
I'll fix it.

161
00:16:07,170 --> 00:16:09,161
This is the last one.

162
00:16:49,610 --> 00:16:50,679
Fire.

163
00:17:21,090 --> 00:17:23,320
<i>(Tigh)</i> I see it.

164
00:17:26,810 --> 00:17:28,801
I see it.

165
00:17:32,090 --> 00:17:34,524
- I see it.
- <i>(door opens)</i>

166
00:17:39,530 --> 00:17:42,044
I see it.

167
00:17:42,130 --> 00:17:47,602
Daniel Novacek just escaped
from a POW cell on a Cylon baseship.

168
00:17:47,690 --> 00:17:50,682
Stole a Raider, flew it here.

169
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:52,840
I just finished debriefing him.

170
00:17:52,930 --> 00:17:55,205
- Bulldog's alive?
- Yeah.

171
00:17:56,210 --> 00:17:58,280
My gods.

172
00:17:58,370 --> 00:18:00,884
How could he be alive?

173
00:18:00,970 --> 00:18:03,882
That tough son of a bitch.
He actually made it, didn't he?

174
00:18:03,970 --> 00:18:06,200
Yeah, I guess he did.

175
00:18:06,290 --> 00:18:10,806
So, are you here to talk to your friend
or to your XO?

176
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:14,326
Last time I checked, I was neither.

177
00:18:16,730 --> 00:18:19,324
Oh, I get it.

178
00:18:21,330 --> 00:18:23,321
Oh, yeah.

179
00:18:23,410 --> 00:18:28,882
This is gonna be a little complicated
for you, isn't it, Admiral?

180
00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:32,280
- Are you gonna tell him what you did?
- I did what I had to do.

181
00:18:32,370 --> 00:18:34,361
So tell him.

182
00:18:35,570 --> 00:18:38,084
It won't make any difference.
The past is the past.

183
00:18:38,170 --> 00:18:41,799
- You're equivocating.
- I don't know why the frak I came here.

184
00:18:41,890 --> 00:18:46,520
Tell him. He's gonna find out...
sooner or later.

185
00:18:59,290 --> 00:19:01,565
I see it.

186
00:19:29,050 --> 00:19:30,802
<i>(banging on door)</i>

187
00:19:30,890 --> 00:19:32,642
Go away.

188
00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,641
<i>(banging on door)</i>

189
00:19:41,370 --> 00:19:43,679
Godsdamn son of a bitch.

190
00:19:51,210 --> 00:19:54,008
I can't believe it. It's really you.

191
00:19:55,690 --> 00:20:01,481
Danny Novacek. I heard you'd made it.
Good for you, Bulldog.

192
00:20:06,290 --> 00:20:08,087
Saul.

193
00:20:09,690 --> 00:20:13,080
- Drink?
- You have no idea.

194
00:20:14,010 --> 00:20:16,001
Yes, I do.

195
00:20:26,130 --> 00:20:28,564
Dad?

196
00:20:28,650 --> 00:20:34,008
- Hey, I just got your message.
- Thank you for coming. Sit down.

197
00:20:34,090 --> 00:20:36,206
It's time for us to talk.

198
00:20:43,210 --> 00:20:46,566
Let me ask you something.
How often do you get out of here?

199
00:20:46,650 --> 00:20:48,959
All the time.

200
00:20:49,930 --> 00:20:52,649
Been a little under the weather,
that's all.

201
00:20:52,730 --> 00:20:56,848
How did you wind up on this old bucket,
anyway? What happened to the <i>Valkyrie?</i>

202
00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:59,842
Well, let's just say...

203
00:21:00,850 --> 00:21:05,162
that last mission wasn't exactly a boon
to the old man's career.

204
00:21:05,250 --> 00:21:08,083
<i>Galactica</i> was his graceful retirement.

205
00:21:08,730 --> 00:21:11,563
Heard you and the old man
haven't spoken in a while.

206
00:21:11,650 --> 00:21:15,563
What's wrong? He won't cover your ass
day and night like he used to?

207
00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:19,404
Oh, no.
He still does his share of ass covering.

208
00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:22,641
Problem is, it's his main function now.

209
00:21:22,730 --> 00:21:27,758
Of course, considering how you wound up
getting captured in the first place,

210
00:21:27,850 --> 00:21:32,480
I guess you found that out the hard way
yourself, didn't you?

211
00:21:32,570 --> 00:21:34,925
What's that supposed to mean?

212
00:21:36,970 --> 00:21:39,245
My gods.

213
00:21:39,330 --> 00:21:41,560
He didn't tell you, did he?

214
00:21:45,010 --> 00:21:47,604
- Did he?
- Tell me what?

215
00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:52,881
That son of a bitch.

216
00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:01,243
I shot him down.

217
00:22:05,370 --> 00:22:09,522
Well, uh, if you shot him down, you had
your reasons. You were following orders.

218
00:22:09,610 --> 00:22:12,204
Preventing something worse, right?

219
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:14,201
No.

220
00:22:14,290 --> 00:22:16,520
I shot him down to avoid...

221
00:22:17,450 --> 00:22:19,441
detection.

222
00:22:19,530 --> 00:22:24,763
Protect the mission... so it wouldn't be
discovered by the Cylons.

223
00:22:30,090 --> 00:22:33,366
It was a black ops mission.

224
00:22:33,450 --> 00:22:40,162
Its sole purpose was to ascertain
the likelihood of a Cylon strike.

225
00:22:43,210 --> 00:22:45,201
Cy-Cylon strike?

226
00:22:54,770 --> 00:22:56,840
So, you're saying that...

227
00:22:58,090 --> 00:23:01,162
that we knew they were out there?

228
00:23:02,170 --> 00:23:06,129
That they could launch
an attack on the Colonies?

229
00:23:06,210 --> 00:23:08,678
We didn't know anything for sure.

230
00:23:10,690 --> 00:23:13,284
There were theories in some circles

231
00:23:13,370 --> 00:23:18,125
that the reason that the Cylons
had stayed dormant for so long

232
00:23:18,210 --> 00:23:22,089
was because they were building
a war machine,

233
00:23:22,170 --> 00:23:24,286
preparing a strike.

234
00:23:27,330 --> 00:23:32,643
But I thought... I thought no one had seen
or heard from the Cylons in over 40 years.

235
00:23:32,730 --> 00:23:35,369
That's true... partially.

236
00:23:38,130 --> 00:23:42,203
The admiralty had grown restless
with the Adar administration.

237
00:23:43,090 --> 00:23:49,609
<i>They felt we were resting on our laurels,</i>
<i>unprepared to protect against an attack.</i>

238
00:23:49,690 --> 00:23:54,923
My mission was to escort a stealth
recon ship just beyond the armistice line.

239
00:23:55,010 --> 00:23:57,444
Stick our nose over, gather evidence,

240
00:23:57,530 --> 00:24:01,967
and... see if there was
any suspicious activities.

241
00:24:02,050 --> 00:24:06,760
And if the Cylons discovered you
across the line,

242
00:24:06,850 --> 00:24:09,728
breaching the armistice,
then they would see that as...

243
00:24:09,810 --> 00:24:11,880
An act of war.

244
00:24:15,090 --> 00:24:19,925
<i>(man) Stealth-Star, Valkyrie.</i> We register
you on DRADIS past the armistice line.

245
00:24:20,010 --> 00:24:22,285
<i>You're on full alert. Proceed with caution.</i>

246
00:24:22,370 --> 00:24:24,838
<i>Valkyrie,</i> Bulldog.

247
00:24:25,850 --> 00:24:28,205
I'm exactly two clicks past the line.

248
00:24:28,290 --> 00:24:32,806
Repeat, two clicks.
And I've got negative DRADIS contact.

249
00:24:33,370 --> 00:24:37,283
Sir, there's nothing here, sir.
Which is fine by me.

250
00:24:37,370 --> 00:24:42,125
Company wants to pay me for a joyride,
they came to the right driver.

251
00:24:42,210 --> 00:24:43,359
Hell of a moon.

252
00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:46,918
<i>(man)</i> DRADIS contact.
Unknown vessel jumped in.

253
00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:49,202
Frak!

254
00:24:50,730 --> 00:24:53,608
Krypter! Krypter!
I've got damage to the port engine.

255
00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:57,319
Bird is down.
Repeat, bird is down. Request rescue!

256
00:24:57,410 --> 00:25:01,483
- <i>Krypter! Krypter! This is Bulldog.</i>
- <i>(man)</i> Vessel just jumped out, sir.

257
00:25:01,570 --> 00:25:04,323
<i>Bird is down. Request rescue!</i>

258
00:25:04,410 --> 00:25:08,608
<i>Krypter! Krypter! Krypter! This is Bulldog.</i>
<i>Bird is down. Repeat, bird is down.</i>

259
00:25:08,690 --> 00:25:14,128
<i>(man)</i> Two more DRADIS contacts. Sir,
please instruct. What are your orders, sir?

260
00:25:14,210 --> 00:25:18,089
- Sir, what are your orders?
- <i>(Tigh)</i> Don't do this.

261
00:25:18,170 --> 00:25:21,003
Think about it, Bill.
You don't wanna do this.

262
00:25:21,090 --> 00:25:25,686
Do you want his ship discovered?
Do you know where we are?

263
00:25:26,170 --> 00:25:29,640
Do you have any idea
what this could mean?

264
00:25:33,050 --> 00:25:37,805
<i>(man)</i> Bogeys on intercept course. Will
merge with <i>Stealth-Star</i> in 20 seconds.

265
00:25:37,890 --> 00:25:40,358
- Sir!
- Weapons.

266
00:25:42,570 --> 00:25:45,721
Launch ship-to-ship missile... now.

267
00:25:50,610 --> 00:25:52,726
<i>(alarm)</i>

268
00:25:56,770 --> 00:25:59,443
- <i>(console beeps rapidly)</i>
- No!

269
00:26:05,370 --> 00:26:09,045
- There is no way.
- It's true. And you know it's true.

270
00:26:09,130 --> 00:26:12,202
You've known it every second
of every day since it happened.

271
00:26:12,290 --> 00:26:17,410
The sooner you admit it, the sooner you
get that haunted look out of your eyes.

272
00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:19,879
Listen to me.

273
00:26:19,970 --> 00:26:23,519
Sometimes surviving
can be its own death sentence.

274
00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:27,963
I know that.

275
00:26:45,650 --> 00:26:50,440
So the attack on Novacek's ship,
the one that winged him,

276
00:26:50,530 --> 00:26:55,365
and the two DRADIS contacts that were
following him, they weren't Taurons.

277
00:26:55,450 --> 00:26:57,759
Those were the Cylons.

278
00:26:58,970 --> 00:27:03,839
All those years I told myself
that I didn't know what they were.

279
00:27:05,090 --> 00:27:07,479
I was just lying to myself,

280
00:27:07,570 --> 00:27:10,368
pretending that it couldn't be true.

281
00:27:16,050 --> 00:27:18,041
It is true.

282
00:27:25,730 --> 00:27:27,721
I started it...

283
00:27:29,010 --> 00:27:30,921
initiated it.

284
00:27:31,010 --> 00:27:34,207
Wait a minute. Started what?

285
00:27:34,290 --> 00:27:38,886
- Started what?
- The attacks on the Colonies.

286
00:27:41,730 --> 00:27:43,846
By crossing the line,

287
00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:50,369
I showed them that we were
the warmongers they figured us to be.

288
00:27:54,890 --> 00:27:56,881
And I...

289
00:27:58,690 --> 00:28:00,885
I left them but one choice.

290
00:28:02,490 --> 00:28:06,802
To attack us...
before we attacked them.

291
00:28:06,890 --> 00:28:09,848
No. No.

292
00:28:09,930 --> 00:28:12,922
Because it wasn't just you.

293
00:28:13,010 --> 00:28:17,686
They put you there. They put you there,
across the line. You had no choice.

294
00:28:17,770 --> 00:28:21,319
That was the admiralty.
That was the... that was the military.

295
00:28:21,410 --> 00:28:24,720
You were one mission.
You were one man.

296
00:28:25,610 --> 00:28:27,601
One man.

297
00:28:29,090 --> 00:28:31,081
It only takes one.

298
00:28:50,050 --> 00:28:53,087
- <i>(Number Six)</i> You all right?
- Yeah, of course.

299
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:57,239
- More nightmares?
- Dreams.

300
00:28:58,810 --> 00:29:01,608
Something different this time, though.

301
00:29:03,530 --> 00:29:05,805
I think God's trying to tell me something.

302
00:29:05,890 --> 00:29:08,404
- It's about Gaius, isn't it?
- No.

303
00:29:09,050 --> 00:29:11,769
It's not.

304
00:29:12,570 --> 00:29:15,721
It's about something
much bigger than that.

305
00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:23,925
After you execute this command,

306
00:29:24,010 --> 00:29:27,127
you'll delete the order from your logs,

307
00:29:28,130 --> 00:29:32,123
then overwrite
the corresponding memory locations.

308
00:29:39,690 --> 00:29:41,840
Execute.

309
00:29:41,930 --> 00:29:43,602
<i>(gunshot)</i>

310
00:30:07,010 --> 00:30:11,925
It's OK. It's OK.
Relax. Try to breathe through it.

311
00:30:12,730 --> 00:30:15,563
- Breathe.
- <i>(gasps)</i>

312
00:30:18,970 --> 00:30:22,007
<i>(whispers)</i> There's something beautiful -

313
00:30:23,690 --> 00:30:26,523
miraculous - between life and death.

314
00:30:48,610 --> 00:30:50,999
Huh.

315
00:30:51,090 --> 00:30:52,842
That's weird.

316
00:30:59,370 --> 00:31:01,804
Why the hell do they keep missing?

317
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:14,761
Frak.

318
00:31:36,650 --> 00:31:38,641
<i>(phone buzzes)</i>

319
00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:43,727
- Adama.
- <i>(Dualla) A call from Lieutenant Novacek.</i>

320
00:31:43,810 --> 00:31:45,402
- Put him through.
- <i>Bill.</i>

321
00:31:45,490 --> 00:31:48,209
- Yes?
- <i>This is Danny. We need to talk.</i>

322
00:31:48,290 --> 00:31:50,485
- Hold on.
- <i>I need to see you right now.</i>

323
00:31:50,570 --> 00:31:52,720
Hold on, I'll be right there.

324
00:31:55,450 --> 00:31:57,759
The Cylons are saddled up on him.

325
00:31:57,850 --> 00:32:01,525
They've got a perfect
point-blank, no-deflection shot.

326
00:32:01,610 --> 00:32:04,488
- They had him dead to rights.
- I'd say so.

327
00:32:04,570 --> 00:32:08,358
Look, Novacek was hit and smoking,
flying straight and level.

328
00:32:08,450 --> 00:32:10,281
Any nugget could've made that kill.

329
00:32:10,370 --> 00:32:15,000
The Cylons could've wasted him
any number of times, and they didn't.

330
00:32:15,090 --> 00:32:17,445
They didn't. They let him escape.

331
00:32:22,010 --> 00:32:25,559
Cylons don't do anything by accident.

332
00:32:25,650 --> 00:32:28,642
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.

333
00:32:31,410 --> 00:32:36,564
Did Novacek say how he was able
to overcome the Cylons that held him?

334
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:39,403
They were sick, had a virus.

335
00:32:40,690 --> 00:32:42,806
How many viruses
do the Cylons have, sir?

336
00:32:42,890 --> 00:32:47,042
Who knows? Maybe it was the same virus
those Cylons we found were suffering...

337
00:32:47,130 --> 00:32:49,690
Yeah, or maybe they just told us
a story we'd buy.

338
00:32:49,770 --> 00:32:52,568
Something that was credible, familiar.

339
00:32:54,370 --> 00:32:57,760
<i>Novacek was held prisoner</i>
<i>on a baseship for three years,</i>

340
00:32:57,850 --> 00:33:00,444
<i>escapes,</i>
<i>and then conveniently finds our fleet,</i>

341
00:33:00,530 --> 00:33:03,567
<i>with no agenda and no reason to be here.</i>

342
00:33:04,610 --> 00:33:06,248
Hey, Dan.

343
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:19,448
It's funny how
all the training comes back, huh?

344
00:33:26,930 --> 00:33:28,966
Why did you lie to me, Bill?

345
00:33:41,370 --> 00:33:43,247
All those years...

346
00:33:44,850 --> 00:33:47,159
You know what I kept telling myself?

347
00:33:47,250 --> 00:33:50,560
What stupid frakked-up dream
I held on to?

348
00:33:50,650 --> 00:33:55,166
I kept thinking,
"Just hang in there, Bulldog."

349
00:33:55,250 --> 00:33:59,209
"Bill Adama's coming. He won't leave you
to rot in here, not him."

350
00:33:59,290 --> 00:34:02,566
"He won't leave a man behind.
Just hold on."

351
00:34:02,650 --> 00:34:05,642
But you weren't coming.
You didn't think I was alive.

352
00:34:05,730 --> 00:34:08,119
You weren't even hoping
I was alive!

353
00:34:09,930 --> 00:34:13,923
And if I hadn't figured a way to escape,
if I didn't make my move

354
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:17,366
when I saw they'd left that door
wide open for me,

355
00:34:17,450 --> 00:34:21,238
I'd be as good as dead right now!

356
00:34:23,610 --> 00:34:25,646
Is that what they did?

357
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:28,767
Did they leave the door open?
Did they let you escape?

358
00:34:28,850 --> 00:34:33,401
<i>(Bulldog) That's not what I meant.</i>
<i>I know the truth!</i>

359
00:34:33,490 --> 00:34:39,326
I beat them. Do you understand?
I beat them at their own game.

360
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:42,527
I frakkin' killed her, and I escaped.

361
00:34:42,610 --> 00:34:45,044
You trying to take that away from me?

362
00:34:45,130 --> 00:34:47,485
Bulldog! <i>(cocks gun)</i>

363
00:34:55,730 --> 00:34:57,527
Stay down!

364
00:34:59,210 --> 00:35:02,919
- Are you all right, Bill?
- Yeah, I'm OK.

365
00:35:04,530 --> 00:35:08,728
You don't wanna believe it, do you?
I know. The truth hurts, Bulldog.

366
00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:12,120
But it's better to know the truth
than to live a lie.

367
00:35:12,210 --> 00:35:15,122
We're all soldiers, Danny.
We're all expendable.

368
00:35:15,210 --> 00:35:17,770
And we did what we had to do
to protect the mission.

369
00:35:17,850 --> 00:35:23,208
It's ugly, but there it is. The Cylons
let you go. The question is, why?

370
00:35:23,290 --> 00:35:25,360
Ask yourself that, Danny.

371
00:35:25,450 --> 00:35:29,443
Because up until a minute ago, you were
doing exactly what they wanted you to:

372
00:35:29,530 --> 00:35:32,966
Come here and learn the truth,
and seek revenge.

373
00:35:33,050 --> 00:35:37,566
And that's exactly what you did.
You almost gave them what they wanted.

374
00:35:44,690 --> 00:35:51,562
Tell you a dirty little secret - the toughest
part of getting played is losing dignity...

375
00:35:53,010 --> 00:35:57,765
feeling like you are not worth
the oxygen you are sucking down.

376
00:35:58,770 --> 00:36:01,238
You get used to it.

377
00:36:01,330 --> 00:36:04,003
You start to believe it.

378
00:36:04,090 --> 00:36:08,003
You start to love it.
It's like a bottle that never runs dry.

379
00:36:08,090 --> 00:36:13,084
You can keep reaching for it
over and over and over again.

380
00:36:13,610 --> 00:36:16,761
So, how do you put that bottle away,
Saul?

381
00:36:21,450 --> 00:36:23,247
I don't know.

382
00:36:24,770 --> 00:36:27,762
One day, you just decide to...

383
00:36:29,530 --> 00:36:32,283
get up and walk out of your room.

384
00:36:45,410 --> 00:36:47,640
<i>(Roslin)</i> What is this?

385
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:54,882
Your resignation.
You've got to be kidding me.

386
00:36:57,210 --> 00:37:02,330
I've said before,
we can't hide from the things we've done.

387
00:37:02,410 --> 00:37:05,641
I see no other way around this situation.

388
00:37:05,730 --> 00:37:09,405
- Maybe it's time, Laura.
- Sit down, Bill.

389
00:37:18,210 --> 00:37:20,678
I think you're being naive.

390
00:37:20,770 --> 00:37:22,681
Naive?

391
00:37:22,770 --> 00:37:25,921
Did it ever occur to you
that the admiralty may have set you up

392
00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:28,205
to provoke a war they wanted?

393
00:37:30,530 --> 00:37:35,650
It's naive to think horrible things we can't
understand have simple explanations.

394
00:37:35,730 --> 00:37:41,441
Because simple explanations make us
feel like we have control when we don't.

395
00:37:41,530 --> 00:37:48,447
We know why the Cylons attacked us
and it wasn't any one thing. Oh, my gods.

396
00:37:48,530 --> 00:37:54,048
We did a thousand things,
good and bad, every day for 40 years,

397
00:37:54,130 --> 00:37:56,724
to pave the way for those attacks.

398
00:37:58,770 --> 00:38:00,920
Something has to be done.

399
00:38:08,130 --> 00:38:10,121
You know what that is?

400
00:38:18,770 --> 00:38:20,920
Medal of Distinction.

401
00:38:24,090 --> 00:38:29,244
This is before I heard about
this resignation of yours. So, hm...

402
00:38:31,490 --> 00:38:33,481
I'd like to propose this:

403
00:38:33,570 --> 00:38:40,009
You seem hellbent on paying penance
for whatever it is you think you've done,

404
00:38:40,090 --> 00:38:43,207
so instead of resigning,
why don't you walk out of here,

405
00:38:43,290 --> 00:38:46,521
meet me on the port hangar deck
tomorrow for this ceremony,

406
00:38:46,610 --> 00:38:49,920
and let me pin
a frakkin' medal to your chest?

407
00:38:51,090 --> 00:38:54,241
- I can't.
- It's not for you.

408
00:38:54,330 --> 00:38:57,242
It's for them.

409
00:38:57,330 --> 00:39:02,165
Stand up there, acknowledge your fleet,
and give them what they need -

410
00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:04,206
a hero.

411
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:06,920
That'll be your penance,

412
00:39:07,010 --> 00:39:09,001
even if it kills you.

413
00:39:18,010 --> 00:39:23,038
On behalf of everyone here, it is my
pleasure to present you, Admiral Adama,

414
00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:28,762
with the Medal of Distinction for 45 years'
courageous service to the Colonial fleet.

415
00:39:28,850 --> 00:39:31,159
Congratulations.

416
00:39:31,250 --> 00:39:33,639
<i>(man)</i> All right, sir!

417
00:40:07,970 --> 00:40:11,007
Have Dr Stoffa call me
as soon as you arrive.

418
00:40:11,090 --> 00:40:13,684
And, Bulldog, you're gonna be fine.

419
00:40:13,770 --> 00:40:17,729
Just remember
it'll take some time, all right?

420
00:40:17,810 --> 00:40:19,801
Lieutenant.

421
00:40:21,770 --> 00:40:24,125
You forgot something.

422
00:40:26,170 --> 00:40:29,242
- I can't. Bill, I...
- Take it.

423
00:40:29,330 --> 00:40:31,366
You're not getting off that easy.

424
00:40:35,970 --> 00:40:38,928
Once a pilot, always a pilot, Bulldog.

425
00:40:42,410 --> 00:40:44,401
Yes, sir.

426
00:41:15,130 --> 00:41:17,644
<i>(knock on door)</i>

427
00:41:17,730 --> 00:41:19,721
Come in.

428
00:41:33,170 --> 00:41:35,161
I heard you won a medal.

429
00:41:36,850 --> 00:41:38,841
Yeah.

430
00:41:38,930 --> 00:41:42,081
They give them out
for anything these days.

431
00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:46,049
Good behaviour...

432
00:41:46,610 --> 00:41:49,488
attendance,
playing well with others.

433
00:42:02,170 --> 00:42:05,048
I need you back in the CIC.

434
00:42:05,130 --> 00:42:08,679
It just ain't the same without you in there,
intimidating the inmates.

435
00:42:08,770 --> 00:42:10,761
No, no.

436
00:42:12,970 --> 00:42:16,007
That's not what I came here
to talk to you about.

437
00:42:16,090 --> 00:42:18,558
OK.

438
00:42:18,650 --> 00:42:22,802
- So why are you here?
- I don't know. Nothing.

439
00:42:26,090 --> 00:42:29,002
You wanna tell me
what happened to Ellen?

440
00:42:30,010 --> 00:42:32,001
<i>(sighs)</i>

441
00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:37,680
I could use a drink.

442
00:42:40,210 --> 00:42:42,201
Me too.

443
00:43:40,970 --> 00:43:43,643
Back masking.

444
00:43:43,730 --> 00:43:45,721
It's turning me on, Dead Man.
