PEGASUS

RAPTOR TRAINING EXERCISE

Pegasus, Buster.

Dradis intercept

training birds are away.

Buster, Pegasus, roger that,

take station...

be advised,...

communications will suffer

sporadic interruptions...

due to stellar EMI

activity. Acknowledge?

Pegasus, Buster, acknowledge.

Our communications suck!

Is it gonna be

like this all day?

Big time.

Those binaries are

putting out so much EMI,...

even the dradis

is barely working.

Well, I'm gonna a little distance

between us and the fleet.

Get us out of the soup.

See if we can get a cleaner

dradis picture.

Hey!

Whoever's in there, time's up!

Let's go, come on!

Gotta a couple of tired viper

jockeys out here wanna sleep.

Go hit the showers Duck!

We'll be gone by

the time you get back.

How you feel?

Mm, not great.

But Cottle's given me the thumbs-up

and it's been almost a month,...

so I guess it's back to work.

So you ready to go into the belly

of the beast?

The beast?

Yeah.

That's what they call the

Pegasus now.

Galactica's the bucket.

The bucket and the beast.

Don't we make a pair?

Come on.

- No, you come on.

- Come on, come on, go.

Anyway, it's only a

temporary assignment.

I should be back

again in a couple of weeks.

Why'd the old man pick you?

One word. Starbuck.

Is she in hack again?

Not yet.

But apparently, she's been

driving commander Garner...

up one bulkhead and

down the other...

ever since she took

over flight training on...

what'd you call it?

The beast?

And since I won't be flying

combat for a while, I...

Were you going to mention these?

Oh, yeah.

Got promoted to Major.

Well, don't sound so happy!

It doesn't mean much.

I think it means a lot.

Oh, well,...

if you say so,

then it must be true.

What's going on?

We were unloading

one of the containers...

and then one of the

crates shifted.

So,...

we looked inside, and saw

that something was moving.

Did you call it in?

Yeah, we shut door,

and the marines are on their way.

Give me a light.

Chief, we don't know what

we're dealing with here.

Don't you think we should wait?

Just wait out here.

Chief!

Is this the Galactica?

Yeah.

Are you Dr. Cottle?

What the hell was that?

I don't know. We should call it in.

All right. I gonna

spin up the ftl drive just in case.

Pegasus, this is Raptor 718.

Emergency.

Request instructions.

Say again, Shark.

Pegasus...

distress.

Shark, repeat your last.

Did you declare an emergency?

Buster, Shark, do you read?

Shark, repeat your last.

Did you declare an emergency?

Commander Garner on deck.

Buster, Shark, do you read?

What have you got, Mr. Hoshi?

I'm not sure, sir.

I think Buster and Shark

are declaring an emergency,...

but their transmission's garbled.

We've lost them, sir.

49.584 survivors

in search of a home

Called Earth

Welcome aboard, Major.

I didn't expect a welcoming

committee.

Don't flatter yourself.

I was in the neighborhood.

Major Adama, sir.

Major Adama.

Commander Garner.

Glad to see you, Major.

Although I wish it was under

better circumstances.

We have just lost contact

with two of our raptors...

out on a training mission.

What?

When did that happen?

Captain Thrace.

Perhaps if you were actually

down on the flight deck...

and monitoring your raptors...

the way any training officer

worth a damn would have done,...

you would know that four of

our pilots were missing.

Major?

You with me, Major?

Yes, sir.

The disappeared from the dradis

about an hour ago.

They're gone.

Shut the hell up!

We lose two raptors in

a training mission,...

and I only find out when the

commander throws it in my face.

Don't all speak at once.

Sir, it's been made clear...

that discussing flight deck situations

with anyone outside Pegasus crew...

is not allowed.

Sorry, sir.

And whose frakkin'

bright idea was that?

It was Garner,

wasn't it?

Of course it was.

So barely competent and paranoid.

There's a hell of a combination.

I have a problem.

That problem's name is Kara Thrace.

I-I know to handle her, sir.

And for the record,

she is one hell of a viper pilot.

What? I should cut her some slack

because she's good in the cockpit.

Is that what you're saying?

Because nobody ever cut us

any slack in the engine room.

I could tell you that right now.

But then, uh,...

I don't know, maybe being a snipe is

different than being a viper jockey.

No flashy stunts for us.

No flying by the seat of

our pants down there!

The engine room is like

a finely tuned watch,...

and everything in it needs to be

monitored and maintained...

in a very precise fashion.

Nobody freelances.

Everything is done

in the proper way...

at the proper time

in the proper order!

Or there'd be no power.

No lights.

No hot showers for your flyboys.

You know, Major,...

I think some of the people around here...

could learn a thing or

two from the snipes.

I'm sorry, Madame President.

But it's that time.

Campaign meeting.

We've been

putting it off for weeks.

And we do have a Presidential

election coming up...

unless you've

decided not to run.

Yeah, and to be perfectly

honest with you, Tori,...

I've thought about it a few times.

But, um, no, I'm still here.

There's so much to do. So...

let's talk politics.

Great.

Here are the results

from our first fleet-wide poll.

How did you manage this?

I was precinct Captain for the

federalist party...

in delphi for five years.

We did polls to see what the mayor

should have for lunch.

For what it's worth, you've

managed to walk a very fine line.

You're Presidential bid has the

support of both the military...

and the civilian fleet,...

and you've received

enthusiastic endorsements...

from the Gemenese

religious leaders.

Well, it helps when your only real

rival is a convicted terrorist.

Am I capable of

leading this fleet?

Absolutely.

And for a time,...

I almost had a chance.

Until Laura Roslin ascended from...

politician to prophet.

The truth is I can't win.

But you could.

You flatter me, Mr. Zarek. Really.

But I'm not sure I'm cut out

for a life in politics...

as I find the vice presidency and

everything to do with it very tedious.

I would imagine

carrying water for Roslin...

would get old after a time.

But it's the office that makes you

the perfect candidate, doctor.

You're pre-sold.

Really?

To whom?

You'd be surprised how many

people crave the assurances...

of cold science as opposed

to the superstitious...

ravings of the Gemenese.

As a scientist, you offer hope.

Think about it.

And you, Tom.

You'll just step aside...

will you?

I'm just happy to back a man

of true conviction.

A man...

who remembers his friends.

Attention on deck.

At ease.

Where's Stinger?

He's in hack for

mouthing off to Garner.

Stepped on his precious little toes.

Frakking Garner.

He's such an idiot.

All right, lock that up!

Get something straight.

We got two missing raptor crews who are

gonna be out of oxygen in 36 hours.

That's all that matters.

So, everyone knock

off the schoolyard crap...

and start doing your frakkin' jobs.

Now...

we need to start

thinking outside the box.

Which is supposed to be

what you do best.

Sorry, Major.

All right.

I wanna know everything there is to

know about these missing raptors...

and their crews.

I wanna know personal quirks,...

aircraft squawks,...

wireless transmissions,

anything that might help.

Good.

Get to it.

How is she?

Rya's four months pregnant

and doesn't want to be.

I understand the

Gemenese have a problem...

with women terminating

their pregnancies.

Tyrol said that she

asked for you by name.

Do you want to tell me what

that's really all about?

Pretty straight forward, really.

I get a note that a

girl's on the way.

She arrives. I do my work.

And then she leaves.

I don't ask a lot of questions.

You're gonna start.

I wanna talk to her.

I'm Admiral Adama.

Don't worry,

I've just come to talk.

It doesn't matter what you say.

I'm not gonna change my mind.

Your parents are a little

worried about you.

They've contacted me...

through the Gemenon

representative.

My parents.

Gods.

Do you have any idea what

they would do to me?

Please, do not send me back.

You're a stowaway.

Aboard a military ship.

Some people might say she was a

victim of political persecution.

Hell.

She could apply for asylum.

Asylum.

That's it.

I want asylum.

Under Gemenon law, the girl is

still the property of her parents.

And they can deal with her once

she's safely back on her ship.

To be honest,...

I'm more concerned with the broader

implications of this matter.

- Sarah.

- I know you don't want to hear this.

But my people, my voters are

demanding action on this issue.

We have been through this.

Abortion was legal under

colonial law before the attacks,...

and so it is still legal today.

It's obscene.

The scriptures view abortion as an

abomination in the eyes of the gods.

You cannot equivocate

on this point...

if want our support in

the coming election.

Rya Kibby's petition for asylum

is under review.

Thank you, Sarah,

very much for coming in.

I'm not turning that girl over.

I'm certainly not banning abortion.

Then don't.

But we have to move

aggressively on this thing.

I'm arranging a conference call

with you and the quorum.

This is gonna get

out of hand fast.

She's not Billy.

No, she's not.

What?

I hate to say this.

Because I know

that this is a political issue.

The fact is that that number...

doesn't go up very often.

I fought for a woman's right

to control her body...

my entire career.

No. No.

I'm just remembering

what you said.

Right after the cylon attack.

That if we really

want to save the human race,...

we'd better start having babies.

Nothing, nothing, and more nothing.

Where...is shark's

last transmission?

Well...

there's not much there.

"...Eve...distress...bearing...

reek...shuns...emerge-- read."

They were in distress.

They...

give a bearing "requesting

instructions...

it's an emergency... can you read"?

Maybe, but what's this

"eve" fragment here?

Eve...distress.

Eve...distress.

Distress call

Eve. Recei-received?

Received distress call.

Okay. From who?

I don't know.

But maybe that's where

they went. To go find out.

Commander, Captain Thrace has a

theory about our missing raptors,

sir.

That's good

considering she lost them.

Excuse me?

Well, they were out on one of your

so-called training missions.

Weren't they, Captain?

My "so-called" training missions.

Okay, let's just take this easy.

That's when you're not boozing or

sowing mutiny amongst the crew.

Mutiny?

Commander, we should take

this to a private place.

Don't you think I know what's

happening on my own ship?

"Barely competent? And paranoid?"

That was off the record.

I was just venting.

Accurately.

I'll have you court-martialled.

Commander.

I'm not defending

Captain Thrace's behavior.

Thanks, Major.

Captain Thrace,

you're restricted to quarters.

Until I can ship you back

to Galactica.

You're Adama's pet.

Let him deal with you.

Major?

Yes, sir.

You've been on board

less than four days,...

and you're already facing charges.

You don't waste any time, do you?

Neither do you, Lee.

How's it feel

being Garner's new playmate?

I'm here to do a job!

Yeah.

Keep a loudmouth, disobedient

frak of Kara Thrace in line.

Not doing such a

good job, are ya?

Evidently not.

We don't have much time.

Those guys are running out of air.

Yeah, well, I tried. All right?

All I have done since I got to

the beast is try and help,...

and all I've gotten is Garner's

foot in my a**.

Well, maybe you need

a kick in the a**!

All right.

Here we go.

Finally.

What is your problem anyway?

What's my problem?

What's my problem?

Well Kara,

my problem is you.

You keep frakking up, and I keep

having to clean it up,...

and I am officially... sick of it.

Poor Lee, your

life is so hard, isn't it?

You mean, since I got shot.

You wanna hear what I think

happened to Buster, or not?

Pegasus, Red Devil.

I'm nearing the last coordinates

where our raptors went missing.

Repeat...Emergency...

Buster, is that you?

Buster, this is

Red Devil, man.

Is that you, buddy?

Come back to me.

Power failure...

oxygen's almost out...

For love of the gods, help.

Sir!

One of our search raptors just

picked up a possible distress signal...

from near where Pegasus lost

communications with Buster's ship.

Finally.

Possible distress signal.

There's a theory that Buster

himself might have jumped away...

to run down a phony distress

call. It could be a trap.

A theory?

Is this your theory, major?

This is captain Thrace's

theory, is it not?

Mr. Thornton.

Can you give us a fix on where this

distress signal is coming from?

Yes, sir, it's long range,

over 40 SU away.

Then spin up the FTL drive,

and prepare to jump the ship.

Yes, sir.

Sir!

This isn't just Captain

Thrace's theory.

I think this is a cylon trap, and...

And I disagree.

Now get Admiral Adama on the line.

I'm going to get our men.

Admiral, we finally got the

break we've been looking for...

bearing on the distress signal.

I can jump there

inside of two minutes.

Commander, believe me,

I understand how you feel.

But the cylons have been

known to lure ships into traps.

Using fake distressed calls.

Have you considered that?

We have, sir.

It's a scenario

we don't think likely.

We?

Major Adama, do you concur?

Sir...

Captain Thrace and I

are of the opinion...

that the first two raptors...

may very well have been lured

away by just such a trick.

An opinion I do not share, sir.

We'll send a recon

mission in full force.

Five raptors.

Three escort, two rescue.

You have your orders, Commander.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Thank you, Major.

I'm sure your expertise

is needed elsewhere.

Yes, sir.

Yes, I am curious.

Why the sudden interest in

the fleet's demographic projections?

An issue has emerged that may prove

divisive to our administration.

I would like all the facts in hand

before making my decision.

So, now it's our administration?

She must be desperate.

Well, I'm a very busy man.

Luckily, I made an initial

calculation on these figures...

over seven months ago when nobody

seemed interested or concerned.

All I had to do was factor in

the numbers from the Pegasus crew.

It took me hardly any time at all,

and I didn't mind.

Look, I'll save you the bother,

you needn't read the report.

If we continue on our

present course,...

within the next 18 years,

the human race will simply be...

extinct.

Since assuming the presidency,...

I've made it my mission to

maintain the rights and freedoms...

we so enjoyed prior to the attack.

One of these rights has now

come into direct conflict...

with the survival of the species.

And I find myself forced to make a

very difficult decision.

The issue is stark.

The fact is that if the

civilization is to survive,...

we must, must repopulate

this fleet.

Therefore, I'm issuing

an executive order.

From this day forward,...

anyone seeking to interfere

with a birth of child,...

whether it be the mother...

or a medical practitioner...

shall be subject

to criminal penalty.

Thank you.

All flight deck personnel,

please report to stations.

All right, come on,

let's go, let's go!

Captain Case, what's going on?

We've been ordered to

scramble, condition one.

Ship's getting ready to jump.

We're gonna launch

on the other side.

- Get down to the hangar deck!

- What?

Look.

You're the best

pilot we've got.

So, get down there.

Find a viper.

It's about time you admitted that!

Commander, what's our sitrep?

This is a rescue mission, Major.

- On whose authority?

- Mine.

I'm bringing my pilots home.

With all due respect, sir. 

But if this is a cylon trap,...

then we are entering blind!

We should send a force recon...

My pilots are dying

down there, Major!

I'm going in,

I'm not waiting on recon!

Commander, this is in direct

violation of the Admiral's orders.

Major. Leave combat.

Making this an illegal

action on your part, sir!

You are relieved, Major!

Sergeant of the guard.

I am forced to take

command of this vessel!

- This man is in direct disobedience of an order...

- Under federal regulations...

- I want him under arrest!

- I place you under arrest!

Sergeant.

Take him below.

Sergeant, the commander's

been properly relieved.

Escort him to his quarters.

This man is not

a member of this crew,...

and you will obey a direct order...

that you have been given

by me, and you will do it now.

Major.

You'll come with me.

Admiral!

The Pegasus has jumped.

They're gone.

Dradis signal's clean. Jump put is

clear of any interference.

Sir, I show two raptors.

Transponder codes match.

They're ours.

Mr. Hoshi.

Tell the CAG to

launch our recovery team,...

and let's bring our people home.

Aye, sir.

Pegasus, Red Devil.

Our two birds

look intact.

Can't quite see inside yet.

Commander, we're unable to

raise the raptors on wireless.

Oh, my gods.

Pegasus, both raptor

crews are dead.

I repeat. They're all dead.

Sir, three cylon base ships just

jumped into weapons range.

Oh, my gods.

They're launching nukes!

Brace for impact.

Damage report?

Two...two nuclear

detonations in the stern, sir.

FTL drive inoperative, sir.

We're stuck here, sir.

All right, Showboat. You take red

squadron. Hit 'em on the right.

Catbird, you take green.

Hit 'em on the left.

The rest of you, follow me.

We're going straight up the gut.

Sergeant, I think you have

better things to do.

Oh, then the spinner's fine?

It's gotta be a sensor.

Just pull it.

No, no, listen to me. Listen to me.

Just pull it, pull it!

Nuclear detonation.

We have structural damage

along the topside heat exchanger.

We can't take much more

of this. How long before...

those drives are back up?

I don't know. They don't

seem to understand.

I need to go down there.

You have the con.

Yes, sir.

I have the con.

Make for the nearest base ship.

And roll us over to keep our top

side out of their line of fire.

Hoshi, contact Starbuck in case...

tell them I've

assumed command.

And to concentrate on

protecting our top side.

Aye, sir.

Wilco, Pegasus.

We got your back.

Mr. Gaeta, any contact?

Negative, sir.

Gimme that.

Can I get through there?

Base ship dead ahead,

we're closing rapidly!

We can't keep taking hits

like this, Major.

Helm.

Steady as you go.

Have the bow battery

stand by for a salvo fire.

Target their center axis.

Yes, sir.

See if we can't cut down the odds.

We need those FTLs fixed soon.

Or we're dead.

Twenty-two hundred.

Main battery has a firing solution.

And fire.

Coolant pressure's off-scale low.

Primary inlet's choked.

Pressure's dropping. We gotta hull

breach in there somewhere.

Well, we gotta get in there,

and open the auxiliary valve!

We can't do that, sir!

We have to!

Sir, that breach can vent all

our oxygen into space.

We don't have a choice.

Now, open the hatch.

Breathing gear?

We used it all up

fighting the fires, sir.

Give me sledge and a number

12 spanner.

All right.

Now close this hatch behind me.

We're losing air,...

close the gods damn hatch.

Close it!

Base ship's turning away.

He's--he's frakkin' running, Major!

But the other two aren't.

They're coming hard.

Helm...

left, full.

I'm at the manifold.

I'm gonna see

if I can turn them.

Yes!

There's definitely air escaping.

Through a crack, over the SVC relay.

The breach is behind that.

Starbuck reports

vipers are skosh ammo, Major.

We're down to throwing

rocks at the bastards.

We gotta haul a**

outta here now, sir!

Sir!

Come on, Garner.

O2's in the red, skipper.

You're almost out of air.

You got it! The pressure's

coming back up.

Now get the frak outta there,

come on!

You're air is gone, skipper!

Get outta  there!

Skipper?

Engineering's reporting a green

board. FTL drive online and ready.

Okay, commence jump prep.

Bring our birds home.

Pegasus, Starbuck.

Nobody behind me

but toasters.

Now get us outta here!

Air wing's back on board.

Landing bays secure.

Jump!

You give Garner a lot of credit.

Well, it's all true.

He gave his life to save the ship.

Starbuck's report wasn't so kind.

Well, she had her perspective.

And I had mine.

In your opinion,...

off the record...

what was Garner's flaw?

He was used to

working with machines.

Command is about people.

Remember that.

I want you to take

command... of the beast.

Garner was my decision.

His failure's my responsibility.

Don't let me fail a second time.

Congratulations, Commander.

Madame President?

Word has it that you do not intend...

to prosecute the

Gemenese girl on Galactica.

She has a name, Sarah.

I think that Rya has

suffered enough.

She's just been

through an abortion.

I've granted her asylum

aboard Galactica.

This is in total

violation of the law.

My order came after she sought her

procedure. No laws have been broken.

The girl belongs at home,

with her parents. I insist.

You have your pound of flesh.

And I suggest you take your

victory, and you move on.

Ma'am?

You realize you're screwed, right?

All the pressure, the responsibility,

the sleepless nights,...

all the officers

giving you a hard time.

Yeah, well, it could be worse.

You could be my CAG.

I'm gonna stay

here and be Galactica's CAG.

Something about wanting

to keep an eye on me.

Well,...

you and Colonel Tigh have a lot of

fun at those early morning briefings.

'Cause the XO's

a lot of fun first thing.

Great.

Congratulations.

Really.

Congratulations.

You deserve it.

I know why I

was mad at you, Kara.

A simple thank you would

have been sufficient.

'Cause you were doing

what you always did.

Buck authority,

and get away with it.

I bucked authority once.

And I almost lost everything.

So I guess when

I showed up on Pegasus,...

and there you were doing it

all over again...

I don't know.

Pissed me off.

Doesn't make a lot

of sense, does it?

You should hear the

way my brain works sometimes.

Are we okay?

You have a brain?

Madame President,

your decision to...

criminalize abortion

has created a furor.

Do you think that's hurt your

standing in the polls?

Absolutely.

If I may, Madame President.

It is true in the light

of recent events,...

the President may have lost

support in some quarters.

I  would ask the people

to understand that...

if this is an extreme decision,...

we live in extreme times.

The decision has been

made with good faith.

I, however, cannot with good

conscience support it.

I am so sorry, Madame President.

But the cylon have no understanding

of the meaning of the word freedom.

How could they?

They're programmed.

Machines.

Every time you take

away one of our freedoms,...

every time you restrict or

curtail one of our rights,...

we become one step

closer to being like them.

As the vice-president,...

I am bound to follow

the administration's lead.

As president...

I should have no such strictures.

Given the current situation,...

I'm afraid that I have no alternative...

but to announce

that I am, as of now,...

a candidate for the presidency.

Are you you resigning

the vice presidency?

Are you a one-issue candidate?

Are you being disloyal

to the President?
