[Woman] Prevlously on Battlestar Galactica:
Madame President, are you taking chamalla again?
I am taking chamalla again because my cancer has returned.
[Starbuck] I remember a flashing triple star,
a giant gas planet with rings and a comet.
What's the latest?
She's reversing course. Returning to Sector Seven.
- That is the tenth course correction. - Frak me.
They're going to attack. Alert the others. We need to jump now.
[Cavil] Just remember, they started it.
But we're killing them. We are truly killing them.
- [Beeplng] - Dradis contact. I've got vlsual.
Cylon heavy raider.
[Leoben] Kara, I'm alone. Thls Is not an attack. I knew I'd flnd you.
- Leoben. - I'm here for you.
A truce between human and Cylon and a chance for you to complete yourjourney.
The hybrid. You need to go to her, Kara.
She'll tell you the way to get to Earth.
We're done here. Get him out of here.
This baseship was never part of the mission.
If we don't leave right now, we are all going to die.
- Ready to jump back to the Fleet. - We're not going back.
- What? - We came to complete a mission,
that baseship has to do with it.
Captain Thrace, as XO of the Demetrlus,
I'm hereby relieving you of command.
You son of a bitch.
- I'll do it myself. - Hey, what the hell are you doing?!
- Stand down! - [Grunts]
Order the Marine guards to the control room.
I'm placing Captain Thrace under arrest.
You're wrong, Helo. You're so godsdamn wrong.
We're taking Leoben back to the Fleet.
- Let the admiral sort it out. - Our last chance to find Earth.
Going back to Galactlca as mutineers. How's the admiral sort through that?
That's up to him. Mr Gaeta, reset the FTL for the jump back to the Fleet.
Right away, sir.
- We should just airlock your Cylon ass. - I am not a Cylon.
[Grunting]
- [Beeplng] - [Anders] Gaeta, stop!
Gaeta, abort the jump! I said, abort the jump!
- [Screaming] - Whoa!
[Moaning] Oh, frak!
Want to know who's in charge, in command? Want to know?!
- Sam! - Captain Thrace, let her go!
- Sergeant, stand down. - Stand down!
- Medic! - Stand down! That's an order!
Seelix, stand down! Stand down, stand down.
[Gaeta moaning] What the frak?
- Easy. - I need a med kit!
- Drop it! - [Gaeta continues moaning]
What the frak?
Bloodstopper. This is gonna hurt. Ready, go.
[Moaning] You frakkin' bitch! Ah!
Morpha.
Ah! Oh!
- We need to move him to a bunk. - Marines, get over here!
- Easy. - Careful!
Wait, listen. Kara, that was...
So now what? Gonna give orders at gunpoint?
You're right, Helo. I never should've ordered to jump to baseship.
Too many lives to risk on a gut instinct.
- Demetrlus goes back to Fleet. - Missing a Raptor.
I'm gonna take Leoben back, see if his story checks.
- Are you insane? Two of you alone? - She's not going alone.
- I'm going with her. - This is crazy, but I need you.
What?
Someone that speaks their language. If this is a trap, I want to know.
Hell, yeah, let the Cylon go.
It's OK.
I'll do it.
Listen. Your Raptor doesn't have enough fuel to get back to Galactlca.
But the baseship does.
We were sent out here by the admiral to complete a mission.
Not for me, but for the people of the Fleet.
And if I'm right, the payoff is Earth.
Lt Costanza, what's the latest we can leave here
and still make the rendezvous with the Fleet?
[Computer beeplng]
Window closes 15 hours and seven minutes.
And that's cutting it really damn close.
Set the clock to 15 hours and seven minutes and start it.
We'll be waiting here till the clock runs out.
So I guess just pack up everything here. Pack up all of these drafts.
I'm gonna have plenty of time on my hands, so pack it up.
Hey, at least the worst is over. Two more Doloxan treatments
- and you will be over the hump. - And I'm gonna need you to...
...keep an eye on things till then. - Don't worry.
I'll make sure our friend from Picon sees the error of his ways.
I'm notjust talking about the Quorum.
A few months ago, you seemed overwhelmed
by the stresses and the pressures of this job.
But lately you've really stepped up.
I'm gonna be demanding more of that from you in the days to come, because...
I'm not quite sure of what I'm doing right.
I'm sort of...
I'm just gonna need you to keep a keen eye
on every single thing that comes across this desk.
- I appreciate your confidence. - Thank you. Let's go.
Just remember, if this is a trap, you die first.
[Monltors beeplng]
Preflight is complete.
I need to know. Do I need to watch my back with you on this?
No, I said I'd go. You have my word.
Be like a homecoming for you.
The other Eights talk about you all the time.
Keep him the frak away from me.
- Barolay, I didn't ask for volunteers. - Yeah, you did, back on Galactlca.
I don't give a frak what they think. You've been kicking ass.
You say you can find Earth. I want to be there when you do.
You have 14 hours and 40 minutes.
- Godspeed. - Copy that.
Can you feel it?
The anticipation.
- God's plan is about to be revealed. - You better hope so, for your sake.
Three, two, one, jump.
[Anders] Multiple contacts, all quadrants.
Huh, looks like we found what's left of them.
[Laboured breathing]
How you doing, Felix?
Never better. [chuckling]
Those frakkers won't give me any more morpha.
- Afraid I'll OD or something. - Yeah, I know.
Will you promise me something?
Anything.
Don't let Cottle take my leg.
- Hey, you're gonna be all right. - Don't frak with me. Karl.
I know every minute that we stay here
means it's more likely that he's gonna have to.
Please. OK, promise me.
Felix, you know damn well I won't leave until the clock runs out.
- [Athena] Where's the baseship? - I don't know.
If it's in one piece, Dradis is too cluttered to see.
Watch yourselves. We've got ordinance popping off.
[Explosions]
Looks like he wasn't lying about a civil war.
This is it.
This is the place.
I can hear it.
The unstruck music vibrates in all of us.
Few can hear it.
Kara's one of the few.
Got a course for us?
[Starbuck] Give me the ship.
You have any idea where you're going?
[Gasps] The comet. The...
It's the ship.
[Starbuck chuckles]
This is what I was meant to see.
[Laughing]
- [Alarm beeplng] - Incoming, right, two high!
Break, break, break!
- [Leoben] She's back. - [Anders] Hey, hey, shh.
Oh, frak.
Hey. Kara. Hey, no, shh! Take it easy, Kara.
Everybody made it OK. You're gonna be fine.
No, don't touch it.
We need to get her out of here. Get her some air.
Get the frak away from me!
They call you Athena now.
You even wear their uniform like you're one of them.
- You were the first to say no. - No to what?
The entire plan. You joined the humans. You had a child.
You showed us we don't have to be slaves to programming.
We wanted the same, but it turned out to be a disaster.
The Sixes have made one mistake after another.
They have to be stopped before they get the rest of us killed.
- Ask. - You could help us.
You want me to lead a mutiny against the Sixes.
- It's the only way. - You guys make me sick.
- Why? - You pick your side and you stick.
Don't run when things get ugly. You'll never have anything.
No love, no family. No life to call your own.
Now, you guys can either help me or get the hell out of my way.
[Baltar] 'Cause he wlll take your hand...
... and gulde you to the other slde.
[Nurse] I'll just come back later when you're feeling better.
[Woman 2] I'm not gonna feel better.
Take your needles and your thermometers and stick 'em where the sun don't shine.
- [Coughing] - ... off thls mortal coll.
The undlscovered country...
- Hello. - Oh. Oh, great.
- Now, the president. - She stuck me three times today.
Be thankful she hasn't put a catheter in you.
[Chuckling]
Where we wlll bask In the radlance of god's love.
All this just to...
...keep me alive for a few more days.
- It's so pointless. - No, it's not pointless.
I'm sure it isn't helping listening to Gaius Baltar...
No, no, don't touch that! Who the frak do you think you are?
- Accept hlm Into your hearts... - [sobbing] Leave me alone!
Love. It Is all about love.
It's not about llvlng a rlghteous llfe.
God doesn't really care how many good deeds we've done.
Thls Is the mlstake that I flnd that so many of the plous...
The hybrid will want to see you, I know it.
- Let's go. - [Natalie] What?
Give her access to the nervous system of this ship?
- I thought we had a deal. - We discussed this.
- Kara's the key to salvation. - Agreed on an alliance.
You want an alliance, I see the hybrid. Leoben claims it can help me find Earth.
- There's no way around it. - We've tried to be patient
about your obsession with this woman. Playing house on New Caprica
was one thing. This puts us in jeopardy.
We have their Raptor and theirjump drive.
- We don't need them. - Frakkin' toaster...
Barolay, don't.
You don't have time to figure outjump systems.
- Not before the other Cylons get back. - And if we do figure it out in time,
do we just keep running? How long before we run out of fuel, food, ammunition?
Before Cavil's forces hunt us down?
Like it or not, we work with the Colonials. Kara sees the hybrid.
Or you can kiss your asses goodbye.
Looks as if we have no choice.
But first, we do this.
OK, we can do this.
Give their ship jump capability by slaving drives
- to our Raptor's spin sync generator. - So just do it.
Their hybrid was damaged, so we have to pull her offline
- and execute jumps from the Raptor. - Hybrid offline? Absolutely not.
It's never been done on an operational ship. It might kill her.
If we don't get this done before the Cylons come back, we're all dead.
Make it happen, lieutenant.
Barolay, yank the connectors from the bus
- and strip the cables out of them. - You got it, LT.
And, Six, I'm gonna need some data cabling right away.
Single mode, 1310. Otherwise, you'll blow our system to shreds.
[Starbuck] We started the interface. Take me to this hybrid.
Anders, you're on me.
Better if I stay here. I know more about the Raptor's system than they do.
Fine.
- What the hell are you looking at? - I know you.
You were on New Caprica. You were part of the Resistance.
You killed me.
Watched me drown, kicking and thrashing like some kind of an insect.
Be happy to put you down again.
[Grunts]
I'm OK.
- Barolay? - Hey, hey, Jean.
Hey. Jean!
You killed her.
You frakkin' killed her!
Know what it feels like to die? You're nothing! A machine!
Sam, put the gun down now! Sam, stop!
What do you want me to do, Kara? Forget about Barolay?
Forget about New Caprica? No frakkin' way! She just killed Barolay!
Sam! Put the gun down.
- Put it down. - I'm not gonna do it.
[Starbuck] Sam.
Sam, you have no idea what's at stake here.
Look at me. Put it down.
They killed one of us and you're just ready to let it slide?
She's right. You can't let this go, Kara.
If you don't want to do this, I will.
Put the gun down, soldier.
I need to see the hybrid.
- Why, sister? - I just couldn't let it go.
- On New Caprica. - She was the one?
I never did anything to her.
We were working at the treatment plant and she...
I remember. After you downloaded, we tried to work through this.
How do you work through something like that?
Never forget her expression as I tried to scream. Just...
Just slapped tape over my mouth and threw me in that septic tank.
- Shut your frakkin' mouth. - I see her face when I try and sleep.
We were trying to help these people.
I know. I know. I wish there was something I could do.
Then I'm glad it's you.
Gods damn it!
No resurrection ship. You understand?
She's just as dead as your friend.
Is that enough human justice for you? Blood for blood?
[Woman coughing] Madam President.
I wanted to apologise for before. I... I have good moments and bad.
- And that was which? - [Laughing]
Come in here. I have something for you.
- For me? - Yes, yes, come in. Come in.
Would you get it? It's in the first drawer. Right here. That's it, yes.
- This is for me? - I hope it's not too gaudy.
No. This is beautiful.
Thank you. That's beautiful.
A woman on Aurora makes 'em. Leslie Starus.
She makes all kinds if you want to check it out.
No, I think this one will be just fine.
What colour are you hoping for?
When it grows back in?
Um, well...
I was thinking maybe blue.
- Nice royal blue. Change of pace. - [Laughing and coughing]
Oh, my hair used to be...
Now, look at it. Feel it, feel it.
It's gonna get a lot worse.
Be prepared for that.
[Baltar] Because he wlll take our hands
and gulde us to the other slde of the rlver.
[Hybrid] All these things at once and many more.
Not because it wishes harm, it likes violent vibrations
to change constantly.
Then shall the maidens rejoice at the dance.
Structural integrity of node seven restored. Repressurising.
Children of the one reborn shall find their own country.
The intruders swarmed like flame. Like the whirlwind.
Hopes soaring to slaughter all their best against our hulls.
I'm here. You wanted me here...
Replace control accumulators 4 through 19.
They'll start going ripe soon.
Compartmentalise integrity conflicts with the obligation to provide access.
FTL sync fault uncorrected. No ceremonies are necessary.
For what it's worth, I voted for you in the last election.
And I don't like how Baltar keeps ragging on you.
- But that is not why I listen to him. - Why do you listen to him?
I had an experience that made me rethink all my preconceptions.
What kind of experience?
It happened the night after Cottle told me
that my cancer had spread to my liver and I'd never be leaving this place.
I was on a ferry crossing a river,
and as we were approaching the other side,
I saw all these people standing on the bank.
And we got closer, and I recognised them.
My parents.
My sister Kathy, who died when I was 12.
My husband, my girls.
I... I was scared for a moment.
You know, how is this happening?
But then I... I felt it. This...
...presence...
...hovering all around me.
Warm, loving, and...
...it said...
..."Don't be scared, Emily. I'm with you.
Hold my hand and we'll cross over together."
People in our predicament have dreams like that, Emily.
No. I was there.
I felt...
...the cool breeze coming from the water. The spray from the bow.
Maybe he's stumbled onto something. You know, he talks about the river
that separates our world from the next.
That there's more to this existence than we can see with our naked eye.
There's a power that we can't begin to understand.
[Hybrid] Then shall the maidens rejoice at the dance.
Structural integrity of node seven restored. Repressurising.
The children of the one reborn shall find their own country.
End of line. Reset.
Track mode monitor malfunction traced. Recharge compressors.
Increase the output to 50 percent.
Assume the relaxation length of photons...
Transfers contact is inevitable, leading to information bleed.
FTL sync fault stands uncorrected. No ceremonies are necessary...
- I don't understand. - Forces reacts
to the rotating frame of reference. The obstinate toy soldier becomes pliant.
- The city devours the land... - You can't hurry her.
You have to absorb her words.
Allow them to caress your associative mind.
Don't expect the fate of two great races to be delivered easily.
Assume the length of photons in the sample atmosphere is constant.
Intruders swarmed like flame, whirlwind.
Hopes soaring to slaughter all their best against our hulls.
[Hybrid] All these things at once and many more.
Not because it wishes harm, it likes violent vibrations
- to change constantly... - We're rigged and ready.
Pull her offline before we miss rendezvous.
- Reset. - Any luck, captain?
Not a frakkin' thing.
But you are a spark of god's fire.
Core update complete.
Frak it! Unplug the thing. Get the frak out of here.
[Hybrid] Threat detection matrix enabled.
Dendritic response bypassed.
Dose is altered by the delayed gamma burst.
Going active. Execute. The children of the one reborn
shall find their own country. End of line.
[Wailing]
Stop!
Athena!
What the hell happened?
What do you want from me?
Please, I need you.
[Wailing stops]
Thus will it come to pass.
The dying leader will know the truth of the Opera House.
The missing three will give you the five who have come from the home of the 13th.
You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace.
You will lead them all to their end.
End of line.
[Roslin] But this god that Baltar refers to.
It is the Cylon god. You know that, don't you?
[Emily] If he's the one and true god,
he belongs to all of us.
Otherwise, he's not much of a god, is he?
Exactly. He isn't much of a god. He's a fantasy.
Oh, Laura. And the lords of Kobol are real.
[Chuckling]
Reigning from a metaphysical mountaintop in those silly outfits.
Zeus handing out fates out of an urn
like they were lottery tickets.
"You work on a tylium ship. You'll be an admiral.
Your family's gonna be evaporated in an attack on the Colonies,
but you'll survive for three more years in a mouldy compartment on a freighter
till your body starts to eat itself up alive."
Those are the gods that you worship?
Capricious, vindictive.
But they're not meant to be taken literally.
- They're metaphors, Emily. - I don't need metaphors.
- I need answers. - You're like my mother.
She wasn't satisfied with metaphors.
She was convinced Aphrodite was gonna swoop her away when she died.
She believed it. Even after the Doloxan and the radiation
failed to stop her cancer. She was a teacher. She was a...
Oh, she was something to behold in...
At the head of a classroom. And her students...
[sobbing] Her students loved her. They'd...
They'd walk through fire for her. And then you see this woman who...
...seemed so...
...eternal, she...
...withered away, and I find myself
having to change her diaper because she couldn't even...
And at the moment she died, there was no gleaming fields of elysium
stretched out before her. There was this...
...dark... black abyss.
And she was just terrified.
She was so scared.
I'm sorry.
Laura.
Laura, you were terrified.
You saw only darkness.
You can't possibly know what your mother experienced.
You're... you're still searching.
You're... [coughing violently]
Doc Cottle! Doc! Do something!
Nurse, get me some morpha quickly.
- Shh, it's OK. - [Groans]
- It's all right. - [Moaning]
All we can do for her now is... try to make her comfortable.
- That's all? - I'm sorry, that's it.
[Sniffling] All right.
It's as if she doesn't even see us any more.
She's looking past us. I've seen that look many times,
but never in the eyes of a Cylon.
[Eight] Athena.
You were right.
Forgive me.
It's OK. I'm with you.
She will lead us to the end.
We will now know the truth of the Opera House.
- The home of the 13th. - What?
The hybrid said, "The missing three will give you the Five
who have come from the home of the 13th."
The home of the 13th tribe of humans.
And the Five...
...is your Final Five Cylon models.
If they've come from the home of the 13th tribe,
- they know the way back. - They know how to get to Earth.
Missing three is the model you boxed
- to locate he faces of the Five. - D'Anna.
She can recognise 'em.
Let's go.
Demetrlus is waiting for us.
[Emily] We're here.
Mother.
You're OK.
I'm not ready.
[Baltar] You no longer need to fear the unknown.
Because he wlll take your hand
and gulde you to the other slde of the rlver.
What rlver am I talklng about?
I'm talklng about the rlver that separates thls world from the next.
There Is more to reallty than the thlngs that we can touch,
taste or even see wlth our naked eyes.
There Is another realm.
All hands to jump stations. Prepare to jump the ship.
[Gaeta breathing heavily]
Come on. Come on, come on.
- Sublight. - Go.
- Helm. - Go.
- Nav. - Go.
- Tactical. - Go.
Jump solution checks. Nav is go.
- FTL. - Drive's up 100 and stable, go.
The board is green.
[Seelix] She's gone.
Or they'd be back by now.
Execute jump in five...
...four...
...three...
[Hotdog] Dradis contact! Cylon baseship. It's right on top of us.
Hold the count! Hold the count!
Baseship is squawking Colonial ID.
I've got a comm signal, but it's weak.
Speakers!
Demetrius, Athena. Demetrius, Athena.
Gods, it's good to hear your voice.
Copy that, Helo. The baseship is ours.
- Mission accomplished. - Then let's go home.
I need to talk to you.
- Certainly. Come in. - Thank you.
- Can I get you some water? - Yes.
You really believe there's something in this horse manure Baltar's peddling?
I don't know.
Something is happening here, and I don't really understand it, Bill.
You both had the same dream, means...
What? Talk to me. What's going on?
Kara comes back from the dead.
I let her go off chasing her vision of Earth.
Well, she's overdue.
Lee turns in his wings.
And Helo, Athena, Gaeta. Will I ever see those kids again?
- Bill. - Hmm?
Look at me.
I'm right here.
Right here.
We're going to find it.
- Earth? - Together.
I used to think it was such a pipe dream.
I used to use it as a carrot for the Fleet.
What made you change?
You.
You made me believe.
