[Man] Prevlously on Battlestar Galactica:
[Tyrol] Finished post-flight on Starbuck's Viper.
This thing looks like it's been rolled off the showroom floor.
It's time to get some answers. Plug it in.
[Screams]
[Tom] President Roslin was aboard the Cylon baseship,
with Gaius Baltar and many of Galactlca's pilots when itjumped away.
[Lee] Waltlng In a Raptor as the rest of the fleet jump...
Sounds a lot llke sulclde, Dad. Why are you dolng thls?
[Wllllam] I can't llve wlthout her.
[Man over PA] We have D'Anna onboard.
We are clear of the Hub. Commence nuclear strlke.
So you know about the Final Five?
I know they're supposed to know the way to Earth.
I gotta worry about protecting myself.
I'll tell you when you take me back to your fleet.
[Zap, boom]
I love you.
About time.
Hey there, Mr Prez. I heard you were here.
Temple of Aurora.
On Earth.
At least the way Pythia described it.
We'll get there. Walk those halls together.
Yeah. Pretty to think so.
There's Roslin's stuff.
[Sighs] It's weird for them to not be here.
No one sits in his chair.
Tigh can't even look at it.
You know the scariest thing my mom used to tell me when I was a kid?
"Your father's waiting for you in the study."
I'd knock on the door...
...make the long walk across the room...
...to that desk.
You know, Leoben said something to me
when he was holding me in that dollhouse on New Caprica.
That children are born to replace their parents.
For children to reach their full potential, their parents have to die.
[Machines humming]
You'll rejoin your fleet in less than an hour.
Then we'll return your Final Five to you.
Four. There are four in your fleet.
- Four. Where's the fifth? - I want the four in your fleet.
I'd be easier if you'd just tell us who they are.
- Easier because you could kill them. - Why would we do that?
They know the way to Earth, we need them.
She's right, we all want the same thing. If we cooperate...
We cooperated on New Caprica, brother.
It didn't work out well.
I'm going to hold your people hostage
until the final four are safely aboard this ship.
You need to stand down, Bill. Come on. Trust me.
Stand down.
Pass the word around. Stack arms.
I've already had an Eight prepare a Raptor,
so we'll launch as soon as we come out of the jump.
Oh, and admiral... you'll be coming along with me to Galactlca.
- I'm not going. - Bill, go.
If the Cylons get the four and get to Earth, you can't let this happen.
Even if you have to blow this ship to hell.
[Lndlstlnct chatterlng over PA]
Godsdamn it.
I got it, Felix.
Yeah... thanks.
- [Exhales heavily] - Mr Gaeta, do you wish to be relieved?
Good to go.
- [Monitor beeping] - Dradis contact.
Incoming, bearing 1-8-5. Carom two-niner-niner at 1700.
- What do we got? - Cylon baseship.
Another contact, same bearing. It's a Raptor.
Our people are back, sir.
[Man] Get to your posts! Move it!
[Alarm sounding]
Maybe she won't be able to identify us.
Gods, it's good to have you back.
It's good to be home.
The good news is that your president, Laura Roslin, is alive and well.
As are your crewmates.
She wants the four Cylons that are on this fleet.
She's gonna hold our people hostage until she gets them.
Don't have to do anything except stay out of the way.
I'm in contact with them. Now that they realise
there's nothing to fear, and that we want to love and protect them,
they should find a way ofjoining us.
I ask that you don't interfere with the shuttle traffic in the fleet.
So your plan is you take these four Cylons, then you head off to Earth
- leaving us behind? - Now that's up to them.
All right.
If these four Cylons want to come to you,
they're free to do so. I will not stop them.
- Do you agree with this, admiral? - Agreed.
Well, then, I will await them on the baseship.
Laura Roslin needs her medication.
And I need to make sure that she's all right.
- I'm gonna go with them. - No.
We can't give them any more hostages.
- [Lee] Colonel's right. - I served under Roslin for two years.
My place is by her side.
Another hostage isn't going to change the equation.
- All right. - Thank you.
I backed your play. Now what?
Starbuck goes to work on a plan to get our people back by force.
If we can't stop the Cylons from reaching the baseship,
Laura Roslin wants it destroyed.
Half our guys are over there.
It's your call, Mr President.
Roslin's right.
We lose those four, we lose Earth.
If everything goes south, we destroy the baseship and everyone on it.
The prisoners were here, but D'Anna has to know that you brought me in on this.
If she's moved the prisoners, it'll mean a compartment by compartment fight.
If they open fire on the civilian fleet while we're boarding?
They could wipe out the human race right there.
Why we need to make sure our Raptors are out with their nukes cocked and locked.
- There's gotta be other options. - Those four could give themselves up.
Brothers and sisters, this is a great day for us.
One of our lost siblings has arrived.
She's one of the Final Five?
I saw her in my vision. Now she's come home.
Laura, there's been something I've been meaning to say to you.
- I wanted to thank you. - Um, for what?
Essentially, for not murdering me.
That can't have been an easy decision to make.
But I love living.
I love living, and I wanted to thank you for saving my life.
I wouldn't be so grateful if I were you.
You should know that I told the admiral, if D'Anna doesn't back down,
he should blow the ship to pieces.
- You what? - [Woman] She's in here.
Madame President, Gaius.
- Tory... - Sit down.
- I brought you your medication. - Oh, my Gods.
- How did you do that? - I came back with D'Anna.
To be with my people.
Because you're one of the Five. You're one of the Final Five.
D'Anna saw her... in a vision.
I knew it. Maybe not on a conscious level,
but, subconsciously, I always knew there was something.
- You had no idea, did you? - No.
Might be worth pondering what else you've been wrong about.
Tory, wait.
You're right. I'm wrong.
OK.
You are one of the revered Final Five, and as such,
the Cylons will listen to you. Is that not right?
So, Tory, please, go to D'Anna
and try to convince her to back down and release all the hostages.
I'm done taking orders from you.
[D'Anna over Intercom] Mr Presldent, there has been a change of plans.
I'vejust executed the flrst of the colonlal hostages.
Another wlll follow every quarter hour untll our people come home.
All right, listen to me.
You're not giving us a chance. We are cooperating.
She terminated the transmission.
[Hits desk]
All right then, admiral. You're a go for the rescue mission.
If it fails...
...destroy the baseship.
Yes, Mr President.
[Indistinct chattering]
All right, put these pilots in their cockpits.
Check all systems and let's put these birds in the tubes!
[Woman] Got it, chief. There you go!
APU won't spin up. There's gotta be a short, and damned if I can find it.
- I set some guys tracking on it, but... - [static electricity buzzes]
[Man chattering indistinctly]
...can't find the short.
Galen, you with me?
We have a baseship out there with our people on it.
- It's ourjob to get them back alive. - Speed's the thing we have on our side.
They're expecting us to try a break-out.
We have to get in under their reaction time, which is fast.
Raptors two and six, under Athena, will be our breaching force.
- Carrylng our assault teams. - [Static buzzing]
[Static buzzing]
- [Static buzzing] - What's the matter?
[Gasps] I'm hearing it again.
All right... anyone know what the frak we're doing here?
I don't know. I just felt compelled...
- Something about this Viper. - Like what?
You checked every rivet and washer on that bird, and you didn't find squat!
Well, something brought us here.
Something's changed.
I just don't know what it is.
Maybe Kara can help. She flew this thing to Earth and back.
Go find her and see what she can tell you.
But hurry up! A lot of good people are gonna die.
So where are you going?
Sir.
Bill, you gotta scrub this mission.
What the hell are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in the CIC.
The Cylons will kill every godsdamned hostage
before we put one pair of boots aboard their ship.
Laura Roslin will be the next to die, Bill.
[Lndlstlnct chatter over phone]
I'm looking for options. You got one?
Yeah.
I should've told you when I first found out, but I didn't have the guts.
What's wrong with you, Saul?
You remember, back at the nebula, when I told you about that frakkin' music?
I thought it was in the ship.
I was wrong. It was a signal.
Some kind of crazy, frakked-up, Cylon signal switched me on.
I can't turn it off.
Switched you on?
Like Boomer.
I'm one of the Five.
- The Five? - One of the Cylons D'Anna's after.
Quit frakkin' with me.
- Colonel, I've known you for 30 years. - I told you.
I didn't find out until the nebula.
Think about this.
When I met you, you had hair.
I've never heard of a Cylon aging.
Doesn't mean they don't.
Before the attack on the colonies we didn't know skinjobs existed.
Turns out there's another kind of Cylon we didn't know about.
And I'm one of them.
On New Caprica you were in captivity.
They did something to you... An implant...
Post-hypnotic suggestion that makes you feel this way.
- Let's go talk to Doc Cottle. - Listen to me!
It is not a delusion, it is not a chip in my head.
I am a Cylon.
I fooled you for months now. I didn't want to, but I did.
Get your hands off of me.
If I'd had the guts to airlock myself when I first found out,
we wouldn't be in this mess, but that's the way out.
Not this suicidal attack.
I am one of the Final Five.
D'Anna will back down if you threaten to flush me out an airlock.
[Wails]
[Grunts]
[Gasping]
[Grunts]
- [Gasping] - OK.
[Coughing]
[Panting]
Dad.
Dad. Dad, listen.
No one suspected. No one.
Not with his record. What he did on New Caprica.
His eye... What happened to his wife.
- [Sobbing] - Come on, let's get up.
What have I done? All the people...
...l've sent to die.
For what?
- For what? - For Earth.
There is no Earth. It's a frakking joke.
- There is no Earth. - OK, Dad, listen to me.
Listen to me! Pull it together.
- I can't... I can't... - Yes, you can. Come on!
Yes, you can.
I can't kill him. I can't kill the bastard.
- I can't... I can't... - OK, OK...
It's gonna be OK, it's gonna be OK.
- I'll take care of it. - I can't...
- Oh! [grunts] - Motherfrakker.
Who are the others?
Where's the old man?
Right where you put him.
[Woman over pa] Mr Presldent, It's the CIC.
D'Anna's on the llne.
[Sighing]
This is the president.
Mr President, you're running out of time.
No, you are. It's your turn to llsten.
You harm another one of my people, you so much as blacken one of their eyes,
and I flush Saul Tigh out of a launch tube.
We have no wish for further bloodshed. May I speak with the admiral?
No, you deal with me. You have ten minutes to release my people,
or you can kiss one of your precious Final Five goodbye.
You want to save the fleet? I need the others, and I need them now.
It's sitting here the same way it has been for months.
What made you think something was happening?
It's hard to explain, you know? It's just a feeling.
Yeah, I got a feeling too. You're both out of your frakkin' minds!
You know, you had a feeling you could find Earth. I trusted you.
I backed you every step of the way. Now I need you to trust ours.
[Hatch opens]
Ensign Anders. Specialist Tyrol.
Slowly put your hands on your heads and face the Viper.
Do it now!
- What the hell is going on? - They're Cylons, just like the XO.
[Handcuffs clicking]
Sam.
Go ahead.
It's true, Kara.
There's something different about this Viper. Something's changed.
- You gotta find it. - [Brandy] Shut up.
Fall back! Fall back! Where the hell are you taking us?
- Keep moving. Otherwise, we shoot you. - No!
This is a wild guess.
- You told them. - We should've done it day one.
Get the baseship on the horn.
Mr Hoshi, we need the baseship.
[Indistinct screaming]
- [Laura] What's going on? - D'Anna's about to start
- executing more hostages. - OK, take me to D'Anna.
She won't listen. I was with her when she had the vision of the Five.
- Take me. - He's right. Take him, it's good.
Are you ready to come to your senses, Mr President?
[Lee] Galen Tyrol and Samuel Anders have just jolned Saul Tlgh In the alrlock.
They found them.
They're in line for an express ride into a vacuum.
You want them alive, stand down.
[Switches clicking]
[Console beeping]
I know Lee. Press him, and he'll back down.
Target our nuclear weapons on the civilian fleet.
We'll see if he wants to play hardball.
D'Anna.
Gaius.
[Beeping]
Coercion won't work with Lee Adama. He's too similar to his father.
Lee's bluffing.
He's doesn't give a tinker's damn about those three, not now.
You push him, he'll kill them.
Then the entire human race will die with them.
The baseship nukes just went hot. If any of our fleet starts spooling up...
They won't have time to jump before the Cylons fire.
Sergeant Harder, clear the tube of everyone but Tlgh.
Corporal.
Really think God brought you back from the darkness for this?
Maybe he brought you back for a different purpose.
- To end this peacefully. - They will never forgive us
for what we did to the 12 colonies, never. Proceed.
[Panting]
Brute force did not work for you on New Caprica. It didn't work for you
on the algae planet, so why is it gonna work for you now?
Give me the key.
[Beeping]
We have weapons lock on their ships.
What are you waiting for, Apollo?
Do it.
Lee, stop! Stop, stop!
[Panting] Those three frakkin' Cylons just gave us Earth.
Well, it's a colonial emergency locator signal.
And no other wireless in the fleet is picking this up?
Gaeta's confirmed it. Channel's empty except for this Viper.
It's gotta be a signal from Earth.
- You're reaching, Kara. - Come on, Lee, add it up.
I vanish into a storm, ride this Viper to Earth.
I get a vision that leads me to the baseship.
Its hybrid tells me that the Final Five Cylons have been to Earth,
but we need the missing three, D'Anna, to bring them out into the open.
Now we start to get messages from the beyond.
You heard the signal. The final Cylons led me to it.
If it's Earth, they've given us the home of the 13th tribe.
The way the hybrid said it'd happen.
Like it or not, Lee, something's orchestrating this for a purpose.
A higher power.
Call it what you want, but it seems to want us to find Earth with the Cylons.
One tiny needle in the whole fleet.
Well, you're right. It's wafer thin.
It's the best I could do at short notice.
So you're all in agreement this is the way to Earth?
It's a stretch, but it's the best explanation we've got.
Which is why we chose to share this information with you.
We could've jumped away, left you behind.
Would've led to another confrontation, another standoff.
- All this has happened before... - But it doesn't have to happen again.
Not if we make up our minds to change.
Take a different path. Right here, right now.
You were afraid we'd kill these four, and yet, here they are,
standing behind you. Free to go.
Or stay. I've granted them an amnesty.
So the question is, where do we go from here?
All right. I'll release your crew.
We go to Earth together.
We've projected a course toward the signal.
It'll probably take some revising as we go,
but this is our destination right here.
Earth.
So, what are your orders, admiral?
Orders?
Are you ready to take us to our new home?
Hmm...
I don't know.
[Laura] You don't know what?
Hmm? What don't you know about?
- Hmm? - It's good to see you.
Bill...
This is it.
This is everything that we have been working for.
I want to see you pick up that first fistful of earth.
Come on.
Frak.
- [Sighs] - [Door closes]
I see...
- Yeah. Thank you. - Thank you.
Anyway, I'm glad to see you again, Madame President.
And so is the Quorum.
I guess I just finished the shortest presidency in colonial history.
Yes, well, don't look so relieved, Mr Adama.
Because you were dealt a crisis, and you knew exactly what to do.
You faced it boldly.
This fleet is going to need that kind of leadership in the days to come,
- so you are not off the hook yet. - Thank you.
You guys gonna sit here flapping your lips, or are we gonna go find Earth?
Kara and I have been working on a recon plan...
Frak it. This is the end of the line.
We've got nowhere else to go.
And if we give the alliance too much time, it'll fall apart again.
Gotta roll the hard six.
We all go together. As fast as we can.
Yes, sir.
[Indistinct chattering]
Fleet in jump formation. Standing by.
Board is green.
Ship reports ready to jump, admiral.
Very well.
Madam President, without you we wouldn't have made it.
Give the order.
[Laughs] It's been a long time coming.
[Exhaling deeply] OK.
Take us to Earth.
[Anastasla] In flve, four, three,
- two, one. - [Ship engines rumbling]
Jump.
- Jump complete. - [Felix] Dradis is clear.
[Hoshi] Fleet is checking in.
- Nav. - Confirming position.
[William] Take your time. Get it right.
Fleet all present and accounted for.
Visible constellations are a match.
Crew of Galactlca... people of the fleet.
Thls Is Admlral Adama.
Three years ago, I promlsed to lead you to a new home.
We've endured a dlfflcult journey.
We've all lost, we've all suffered.
And the truth Is, I questloned whether thls day would ever come.
But today, ourjourney is at an end.
We have arrived... at Earth.
[All cheering]
- Yeah! Yeah! - Whoo!
We made it, kid.
[William] We did it.
You did it.
[Machlne crackllng]
[Thunder rumbles]
Earth.
