battlestar Galactica
hairline fractures
in all the beams.
It's in her bones,
Admiral.
There's something
on the base ship that can help.
It's this organic resin.
It'll grow into the metal.
Strengthens it as it matures.
Oh, my gods.
It's Ellen tigh.
Nice to see you again.
This is boomer.
Marines.
Take this number eight
to the brig.
If that's me lying there,
then what am I?
What am I?
Reveille, reveille.
Up all bunks and turn to.
Sweep down all compartments.
Empty all trash cans.
Make a clean sweep
fore and aft.
Lay below to the master-at-arms
office for muster,
all restricted personnel.
Attention on deck.
Have a seat.
It's 0621.
Sync with me
in three, two, one.
Hack 0621.
Our mission is
the same this week
as it was the week before that,
and the week before that.
We'll be flying viper caps
in conjunction
with heavy raider pickets
from the base ship.
Those of you
who just came back
from six-day planet hunts
will get two days local duty
before going out again.
Remember,
the first one who sights
a habitable rock will get this
fine oral hygiene product.
It is the last tube
of tauran toothpaste
in the universe.
Gods know most of you need it.
Our mission
is the same this week
as it was the week before that,
and the week before that.
Planet hunters, make sure to
draw long duration provisions.
If those clapped-out ftls
go down when you're out there,
you're gonna get
mighty hungry waiting
for the sar birds
to find you.
As you know,
the mutiny has thinned
our ranks.
We cannot give
all you raptor jocks
back-seaters.
Savor this alone time,
but do not whack too much.
We need you to conserve
your o2.
Learn to savor your alone time.
*** as little as possible.
Conserve your o2.
Our mission is the same
this week
as it was
the week before that
planet search assignments
are on the duty board.
Be advised the repairs
to Galactica will continue
to cause
sporadic power outages.
Six has the color assignments
and your recognition signals.
Engines start at 0710.
Good hunting.
So the stop-drilling
and the shoring compound
will buy the Galactica
a few more jumps.
But not many.
How many?
Impossible to say
until the hull caves in.
But we're not ready to give up
on the old girl just yet.
Well, if there's nothing else,
sonja
I wanna congratulate you
on your election.
I look forward to seeing you
taking your seat
in the quorum
of ship's captains next week.
Thank you, but you should
know something.
When we convene,
I intend to formally request
that the eight
you're holding
in Galactica's brig
be returned to us.
Boomer?
Yes,
sharon valerii.
She put two holes in me.
I'm afraid
I didn't word that right.
We don't want
boomer set free.
We wanna try boomer
for treason.
Sharon valerii sided with cavil
in the cylon civil war,
which killed thousands
of our comrades.
And if she's convicted?
Before the civil war,
resurrection made
capital punishment pointless.
But now that
we're all mortal
you want to kill her.
Battlestar Galactica
There's a lot
still going on in there.
Dr. Gerard said these readings
are unprecedented
and, frankly, bizarre.
They haven't changed
in weeks.
And there is nothing
to indicate that he's having
any kind
of conscious thought.
Well, maybe his brain
is rebooting.
Reorganizing as it heals.
The last thing we need
is you jerking our chains
with a lotta quack ideas.
So why don't you
take them someplace else?
What if we could link him to
a datastream like our hybrids?
His eyes were closed
last time.
Well, that's not unusual
in a coma.
Doesn't mean anything.
You're gonna have to come
to grips with that.
And how am I supposed
to do that?
You need to get on
with your life.
If there's any change,
you'll be the first one to know.
Gods damn it.
Do you have
to continue to play
the same lame-*** song?
Give it a rest.
I'm not playing the same
lame-*** song.
I'm composing it.
Been at it
for four days now.
It's it's hell.
So then quit.
What's the point?
The point?
The point
is to bring a little grace
and beauty to an otherwise ugly
and brutal existence.
Oh, gimme a frakking break.
Is that what you were doing
when the cylons
attacked the 12 colonies?
Did your music
stop one missile?
Pretty cynical
point of view.
Something happened
to you.
Yeah.
I wonder what it could be.
Okay, closing time.
Drink up
and let's go, folks.
I have an observation
for you.
You wanna be
an immortal composer,
you better learn how to play
that thing first.
You know, sometimes at work,
I try to conjure up
what your face looks like.
Curve of your lips.
Way your hair falls.
How you smell.
You see my face
every day.
Yeah, but not like this.
You know, what we had
it was nothing.
Nothing.
You're a machine.
I'm not.
Well, whatever I am,
I know how I felt.
Software
doesn't have feelings.
How many of us ended up
with the people
we really wanted to be with?
Got stuck with the best
of limited options?
And why?
Because the ones
we really wanted
that we really loved
were dead, dying
no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
No, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, shh, hey, hey.
I love you, chief.
Gods damn it.
Come on, people, you can't draw
your power from the same bus!
You said you had something
for me.
Come in.
I got something
that'll cheer you up.
Hey, Hera.
Whatcha drawing, stars?
Those are
very good stars.
Thank you.
Recognize any of this?
That's my stuff.
When we all thought
you were dead
yeah, the pilots auctioned
it off, I know.
Took me a while
but I managed
to buy, beg,
and steal them back.
That for me?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey.
What about the rest?
Keep it.
Thank God.
I don't know
why I'm here.
You know,
when I shot the old man,
the things
that you said to me
the way that you
looked at me
I thought new caprica was
a way to set things right.
You can't force people to love
you at the point of a gun.
I know that now.
But at the time
I felt betrayed.
So I wanted
to forget you
and hate you.
Didn't work.
I've thought
about you every day
since that moment
I died in your arms.
Me too.
If I had known back then
what I am
I know.
Galen, it's okay, really.
I mean, the most important thing
is that we both
know who we are now.
Let's make the most
with the time that we have left.
Please?
What the hell is this?
Our House.
On picon.
It's the one
that we planned to build
when we mustered out.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop this.
I'm sorry, galen.
I thought you'd be okay
with cylon projection.
The critic returns.
I thought I'd see if you
were making any progress.
You tell me.
It's longer.
Lotta notes.
You hate it?
I didn't say that.
You were savagely honest
with me the other night.
Why be diplomatic now?
I'm not being diplomatic,
you oversensitive ***.
I said I liked it.
Really?
Why?
Um it's hard
to put into words.
Um, made me think of
someone chasing after a car.
Not exactly
what I was going for.
I was trying to convey
a sense of loss.
That's that's what I meant.
It's like losing someone
that you care about.
Their car pulls away.
You
you Chase 'em.
But they're going too fast.
So that's it?
We're just gonna sit
on our hands?
Let our people kill her
for vengeance?
What do you
expect us to do?
Issue a formal decree
of clemency?
We can't interfere.
We can't set ourselves up
as gods.
The rebels are the
aggrieved parties. Can't.
Can't, can't they have
every right to determine
valerii's punishment.
Can't!
Boomer saved your life.
You wouldn't even be here
if it wasn't for her.
And I will testify to that
at her trial,
but I won't try
to stop it.
We have to let justice
run its course.
Then they will kill her.
Sure as hell.
We're all in hell.
Thanks for your input,
colonel.
He just lost his child,
for God's sake.
You leave him be.
How long you been
going there?
A while.
Became my secret retreat.
A way of feeling
close to you.
Hey, do you remember
how we obsessed
over every little detail?
Um, that was
you obsessing.
I was just
listening.
Really?
How many floor plans
did you draw?
Um
that's being thorough.
We never had a chance
to build our House,
so I built it
in my head.
And I wanted so much
to share it with you.
Are you sure?
I don't want to put you
through any
okay, we've nailed
the first movement.
Now how about
the second?
It's okay,
it's just the next hurdle.
The key is to, you know,
not panic.
Just trust yourself
something's gonna come.
It's just part
of the process.
Is part of the process also
stealing from other composers?
That piece that
you're riffing off of,
it's nomion's third sonata,
second movement.
I mean, it's what
it sounded like anyway.
No, you're
you're dead
on the money.
It's pronounced "no-mayan".
Anyway,
he's my touchstone.
Whenever I come up dry,
I look to him for inspiration.
And for somebody
who hates music so much,
you know
an awful lot about it.
My dad used to play.
So what's the story?
He forced you to learn,
and he's such a perfectionist
you grew to hate it?
No.
No, I loved it
actually.
He used to sit me next to him
on the bench when he played.
Smell of tobacco
on his breath.
He taught me a few songs.
I used to try so hard
to get 'em right.
Not because I was afraid
he'd get angry,
but because I knew
he'd be so proud.
There was this one song
that he taught me.
It made me feel happy
and sad all at the same time.
The best ones do.
How is it possible that I found
my body and I'm still here?
I mean, what am I?
A ghost?
A demon?
You're asking
the wrong guy.
I'm just a piano player.
When I was leading
the fleet to earth,
everything seemed so clear.
For the first time in my life,
I knew what I was doing
and why I was here.
Now I'm just adrift again.
Listen,
you may feel like hell.
But sometimes lost
is where you need to be.
Just because you don't
know your direction
doesn't mean
you don't have one.
Madame president.
I'm asking you as a personal
favor to me,
don't sign that.
Hmm.
Don't do that, chief.
Personal feelings
are what sharon valerii
preys upon.
You know that
better than any of us.
You need
to clear your head.
You don't have
to kill her.
Leave her in the brig.
No.
She is a danger
in the brig, out of the brig.
A danger to us,
a danger to our cylon allies.
This can't be the last option,
madame, please.
Madame president,
please.
We're done here chief.
You're dismissed.
Somebody check the fuse.
Hey!
What?
What, that was good.
It's crap.
Well, maybe you need
to take a break.
Get yourself laid
or something.
That might dissipate
the tension.
That why she left you?
That's a pretty deep groove
on your finger.
Had to have been there
for awhile.
Too long.
She didn't leave me,
I left her.
Why?
She wanted me to quit playing
the piano.
You left her for that?
I was playing steady gigs.
Making decent money.
Now that we had a kid,
she said it wasn't enough.
Said I had to get
a real job.
I told her I might as well
cut my heart out.
My gods,
you're just like my father.
You start a family,
the going gets tough,
you ditch 'em.
Did you ever stop thinking
about yourself long enough
to consider what you did
to your kid?
You got it.
Thanks, chief.
Every time
the godsdamn power goes out
we gotta go down
and check the locks.
Prisoner's still secure.
She slept
right through it.
You gonna stay awhile?
Word is they're shipping
her out tomorrow.
No.
Said all I needed to say.
So maybe what your old man
did was wrong.
But he still
left you with something.
He taught you
how to play the piano.
I never played
after he left.
What about that song?
That song he taught you.
The one that makes you
happy and sad at the same time.
Play that for me.
I don't frakking
remember it.
And even if I did,
I wouldn't.
That ***
never came back.
He never called.
He never wrote.
So you quit playing
to punish him?
Come on,
play me a song.
It won't hurt.
Come on.
Come on,
I'll show you.
It's easy.
Come on.
Don't make me hurt you.
Here we go.
That goes there.
And that goes there.
Go ahead.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You play, please.
I'll play.
I'll play if you play.
Great.
I hope you're here
to fix the frakking shower.
Boomer.
Athena.
Helo.
Hey.
I didn't think you'd
you didn't think I'd let you go
on a six-day mission
in deep space without
a proper goodbye, did you?
Next flight team's
not suiting up
for another 20.
You smell good.
Yeah, I made a trade
for some real soap.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Taste as good
as it smells?
Hey, something wrong?
Cottle was right.
I never should have insisted
on seeing him.
His eyes were open.
I wasn't ready for that.
Little guy was looking
right at me.
It's all right,
I think you
I think you almost
had it.
Something's missing.
Oh, it's the left hand.
Listen,
I'll play down here.
I think I know
what you're doing.
Now hang on.
Holy crap.
Hey.
Hmm, that's right.
Play the bottom, okay?
Just come in
when you think you're ready.
Okay?
Hey, baby.
Hi.
Oh.
Guess what mommy
brought you?
Mm, drink it all, yeah.
Mm, good, right?
Yeah.
Oh, we forgot all
about her physical today.
Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa.
Lemme give you
a hand with that.
Oh, easy, easy, chief.
Thanks.
What the frak?
That's the song.
Where'd you learn
to play that song?
I played it as a kid.
My father
what are you
talking about?
Who did this?
Come with me.
I can't do it
without you.
Yeah, you can.
We'll meet again.
There's something
I want you to remember.
All the things
that I said
about us.
I meant them
with all my heart.
So no matter what happens
he fired before he acquired
the target,
gave away his position,
and that was the end of him.
So don't let this
happen to you.
During this exercise, we
could have six or eight ships
hitting the merge
where the fight starts.
So keep your head on a swivel,
especially in the vertical.
Oh, my gods, athena.
Okay, okay.
In the locker room.
It was boomer.
Did she get Hera?
Six, get a med team
in here right frakking now.
K- ro, get on the horn to cic
and let 'em know boomer's loose.
She's got
my frakking kid!
Lso, athena, what's the delay
with my flight clearance?
Uh, please hold, raptor 719.
Looks like we're still
waiting for traffic
to clear your flight path.
Stand by for instructions.
Come on.
She's not buying it, sir.
She initiated prestart.
Boomer,
this is Galactica actual.
Return to checkers red
and shut down.
Copy.
Hoshi.
Vector the cap to intercept.
Blue leader, Galactica.
Immediate.
Proceed directly
to Galactica.
Engage raptor
two-one-niner.
Weapons free.
Blue flight, rolling in hot.
If you launch, boomer,
I will shoot you down.
I don't think you wanna do that
while I have Hera on board.
We can't let her
get off this ship.
Retract the flight pods.
Sir, she's spooling to jump.
If she jumps inside the ship,
the spatial disruption
could tear Galactica's guts out.
Retract the flight pods.
Retract flight pods.
I say again,
retract flight pods.
Don't do it.
Don't do it!
Don't do it, don't do it,
don't do it!
Frak!
Hera.
I need a team, scaffolding,
shoring compound
to the forward magazine
right away!
But one eight looks
like another.
How did a three-year old girl
get by you, though?
The hell's
going on up there?
Boomer took her kid.
What kind of answer is that?
What?
She took Hera and just walked
right out of the daycare.
How the hell do you let a
three-year old girl
climb into a raptor?
How did she get by you?
I'm sorry, sir,
but nobody saw your daughter.
That's impossible!
Somebody saw her!
She's a three-year old child.
Explain to me
how she gets by
had to be orchestrated
from the beginning.
My escape, all of it.
I was just a means
to get boomer here.
Cavil wanted Hera.
Boomer got her for him.
How can
a three-year old girl
spontaneously write down
that song?
She's plugged into something
that's manipulating all of us.
Maybe anders could help us.
If he ever wakes up.
