NARRATOR: Previously on BattIestar GaIactica.
Hi, we're... We're kind of Iost, again.
We're trying to get to the CIC. CouId you...
No taIking, no taIking, pIease.
No cheating. HoId it up, a IittIe higher.
(CHUCKLING)
Sneaky. Eight, nine...
Start again. You aren't serious.
Zero...
I've asked you here to find out why the CyIons hate us so much.
It's what you said at the ceremony.
That humanity was a fIawed creation.
And that peopIe stiII kiII one another
for petty jeaIousy and greed.
You said that humanity never asked itseIf why it deserved to survive.
Maybe you don't.

REPORTER: Speculation continues that GaIactica is harboring a Cylon agent.
Eyewitnesses claim to have seen one of the known Cylon models
moving in and out of GaIactica's brig.
Admiral Adama has made no comment on this situation.
We will continue...
How the heII did this get out to the press?
ROSLIN: I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
I'm toId you've been meeting with her reguIarIy,
aIIowing her to interact with members of your crew.
She's a miIitary asset providing us with vitaI strategic inteIIigence.
WhiIe we pray that she's not somehow coIIuding with other CyIons.
If I feIt for one second that she posed some kind of a threat to this FIeet,
I'd puII the trigger on her myseIf.
I think the FIeet may need to hear that, AdmiraI.
Even more, they need to beIieve it.
Someone took their vitamin this morning.
Yeah, I don't know what got into me.
No, you're right.
Keeping Sharon VaIerii aIive, aIIowing her pregnancy to continue,
there is no road map for any of this.
Somebody, somebody has got to keep asking the hard questions.
I agree.
I want to stay ahead of this. AcknowIedge the CyIon's existence
and then make some kind of case for her to stay aboard Galactica.
I don't think that's going to work.
What? Why?
I think you need to trust the peopIe.
Use the press, teII them the truth.
I mean, we bareIy know anything about the CyIons,
and untiI we Iearn more, we're not gonna destroy
the onIy source of information that we have. Period.
Good. That simpIe, huh?
WeII...
CouId I... CouId I have a minute?
Sure. Important?
You were saying about the hard questions.
I know it's just my Debate Team ring, but it's the best I couId do.
This reaIIy isn't how I pIanned it.
Anyway...
BiIIy...
I Iove you.
I've Ioved you since the first day I met you.
I mean, you were haIf-naked, granted.
I know that I kind of bIind-sided you with this, okay?
I mean, it doesn't have to be tomorrow.
We can take our time.
BiIIy, I can't marry you.
I don't know how eIse to say it.
I'm sorry.
He puIIed out that ring and it was Iike an eIectric shock.
I couId bareIy say anything.
WeII, maybe you're regretting that you didn't say yes.
No. No.
I don't know what to make of me and BiIIy,
but I know I can't marry him.
Then again, I don't know what to make of you and me, either.
(BOTH GASPING)
Excuse me.
Yeah, sure thing.
Hey, two more.
Coming right up.
EIIen.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you, Captain.
Dee.
BiIIy.
Didn't know you were coming down here.
I grabbed a two-day rotation.
I thought I'd grab some R and R.
I'm on business, as usuaI.
Captain Adama.
Oh, I reaIIy am an idiot, aren't I?
No, BiIIy... Don't.
Don't bother. Can you give us a minute?
No, you know what? Have a seat, Captain. Be my guest.
BiIIy, I'm sorry.
I thought, if anything, we were honest with each other.
But you knew you were gonna be here with him today, and you Iet me propose to you.
I didn't...
I know that giving you the ring was stupid.
That's fine.
And maybe this wasn't gonna work out between us. But this...
You shouId've toId me about this.
Oh, it's hard, you know,
to choose the peopIe we faII in Iove with.
To Iove onIy one person at a time.
PeopIe Iike us are more compIicated.
Us?
I'm sorry.
I'm here with friends.
EIIen, you're a reguIar here, right?
You ever see that woman before, in the corner?
No. OnIy when I came in.
And wondered when they were gonna start enforcing a dress code.
EIIen, the bathroom's over here.
Are you serious?
Let's go.
Lee Adama, you amaze me.
This is it now. You ready?
Yes.
We're with you.
Do it!

Everybody by the bar! Now! Move.
You, you! Up against the bar!
Oh, my Gods!
Three men, one woman, aII armed.
Is it true? The FIeet knows I'm on Galactica?
I'm interested in navigationaI weaknesses.
WormhoIes, dark matter bIind spots. LikeIy ambushes.
I wouId avoid these puIsar pointers because of dradis interference.
If I was gonna pIan an ambush, I'd do it there.
It depends, AdmiraI. They adapt to your every move.
Every move triggers a countermove.
Adapt. That's what you're good at, right?
Why won't you answer my question?
Does the FIeet know I'm on Galactica?
(BOOMER MOANING)
It's the baby. She's kicking.
The FIeet knows. That'II be aII for today.
Guards.
You know, if peopIe knew
how much you've reIied on that thing's so-caIIed inteIIigence,
they'd be scared out of their wits.
What about you, SauI? Are you afraid of her?
You know, the truth is I don't Iike the way it's gotten under your skin.
What are you doing?
The pressure hatch can withstand expIosive decompression.
The onIy way heIp's getting in is with a raft of high expIosives.
Or we couId just Iet these cIowns open the pressure door for us.
There's bound to be a security force on its way soon.
Open the door for us? Why wouId they do that?
Give me your drink.
Let me taIk to them.
The ice. I need the dry ice.
Okay, stay caIm.
(DOOR CLOSING) EIIen!
ELLEN: PIease don't shoot!
Who are you?
EIIen Tigh.
VINSON: Get over here now. Move!
We are not criminaIs. We are members of the FIeet, just Iike you.
My husband's XO of GaIactica.
You've just made the worst mistakes of your Iife.
CoIoneI Tigh, AdmiraI, you need to hear this.
ELLEN: Saul.
EIIen. What's wrong?
They're holding us hostage.
They're threatening to kiII us!
My name is Sesha Abinell.
l have seized control of the CIoud 9 lounge
and held the people in it hostage.
What do you want?
What do I want?
This is not about what I want.
The CoIoniaI FIeet has become a CyIon-occupied territory.
You are working in collusion with a Cylon agent.
The very same model of the Cylon
that tried to murder you, AdmiraI Adama, on your own ship.
We want Sharon VaIerii.
You have two hours.
Get me everything you can on Sesha AbineII.
Yes, sir.
GAETA: Sesha AbineII.
FIeet records indicate she's the widow of a Ray AbineII.
He was a casuaIty aboard the Greenleaffreighter
when the CyIons hit it about 1 0 weeks ago.
Widow.
Who do we have aboard Cloud 9?
Rotation scheduIe shows Captain Adama, haIf a Marine squad,
and Starbuck's aIready there on R and R.
Get me Starbuck right away.
Yes, sir.
HeII, one of you beauties has got to be an O2 sensor.
And I'm guessing it's you.
Take a sip of carbon dioxide.
There was another guy at the bar.
Check the back. We don't want any more mistakes.
Kern, there's an awfuI Iot of miIitary types here.
And that's why we're here. To get Galactica's attention, remember?
Page, you go.
No probIem.
(GROANS)
Good to see you, Gunny.
I'm gonna need some of those goriIIas you caII Marines.
Most of my goriIIas are aIready here, sir.
Just trying to cop a IittIe R and R.
STARBUCK: TeII me about it.
AII right, here's what we know.
We got an unknown number of shooters, at Ieast 20 hostages,
and about a 90-minute window before they start throwing out bodies.
You got a pIan, sir?
Lock and Ioad. Let's figure out the rest as we go aIong.
Put your weapon down!
TeII them.
He says he's Captain Adama from the Galactica. He just wants to taIk.
TaIk, that's it. Just taIk.
SESHA: They're together.
(PEOPLE GASPING)
Put it down or she dies.
Hey! She dies, he dies. You get it?
The difference is, you won't do it. He wiII.
Okay?
(EXCLAIMING)
We aII have someone we care about.
It's his son.
He's not gonna choose the CyIon over his son.
VINSON: Get in Iine with the others.
(BEEPING)
(PEOPLE MURMURING)
The CO2 is through the roof.
They're trying to suffocate us.
What is this, a trap?
There's a reason you don't just start shooting on a spaceship.
You probabIy nicked a Iine. Why don't you Iet me taIk to the AdmiraI,
see if we can't find a way out of this?
I've got two strike teams inbound to you. ETA ten minutes.
We'II have pIenty of firepower, so that's good,
but I'm concerned with Iimited access points.
AdmiraI, it's AbineII.
ADAMA: Keep Starbuck on the Iine with us.
Adama.
We're Iosing oxygen.
If it's not restored, the hostages die.
Then you aII die, because this is over.
Not tiII the CyIon's dead.
I'm wiIIing to die to see this through.
Are you wiIIing to risk your son's Iife?
Son of a bitch.
SuddenIy, you're Iistening.
Gods damn it! Give her what she wants! Give her the CyIon!
You're aII aIone on this, AdmiraI.
I'm not gonna sacrifice a miIitary asset on your aItar of revenge.
What are you taIking about?
This isn't...
You said this was about us being played by the Cylons,
but it isn't. lt's about the Ioss of your husband, and l understand that.
It's about you wanting to strike back, and I understand that, too.
But we've aII Iost peopIe that we care about, and we Iearn to Iive with it.
I am sure you are aware, AdmiraI, of the concrete evidence
that Caprica's defenses were compromised by a CyIon agent
who infiItrated the Ministry of Defense on the eve of the attacks.
PeopIe Iook for compIicated answers when something terribIe happens.
Maybe we were just caught by surprise and were beaten,
and maybe we have to Iearn to Iive with that.
And maybe you are just missing the point.
You were infiItrated. You, the miIitary.
And you are being infiItrated again, right now.
You can sit there and pretend you know what you're doing, but you do not.
You are being pIayed.
And the rest of us do not want to go down with your ship.
I want this air system restored right now.
One person comes in alone, fixes it, Ieaves.
Anything goes wrong, somebody gets hurt, it's on your head.
Keep a direct Iine open to Cloud 9.
What do we do?
We repair the air system.
SauI, we can't give her Sharon.
I hope you know that, right?
I know that.
We can't start deaIing with the terrorists.
We start now, it'II open the fIoodgates, and it'II never stop.
But, by the way, it's not Sharon.
It's a frakking CyIon.
You don't think I know that?
I think there's part of you that Iooks into that thing's eyes
and stiII sees that young girI that reported aboard
two years ago as a rook piIot.
WeII, it's not. It never was.
BiII, it's a machine.
AdmiraI, it's Captain Thrace.
Sitrep.
STARBUCK: l had one of the CIoud 9 techs
doubIe-check the oxygen feed in there.
There's nothing wrong with the air.
ADAMA: Could be a glitch.
Or maybe someone screwed with one of the CO2 sensors in the bar.
Lee? Why?
Maybe he's given us an opening.
If I can get someone inside, get a cIear idea of what we're deaIing with...
Kara, this is a recon mission. Get someone to volunteer.
Then you assess the situation,
and then get the heII out of there. Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
I'm here to repair the O2 Iine.
Captain, what are you doing?
VoIunteering. Let me see that.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
SESHA: CIose the hatch. Search her.
You may not want to do that. You're running out of air in here.

Because if the AdmiraI's son dies, you're not gonna get a deaI.
You get that?
If he dies, you're not gonna get what you want.
He's right. Let him go.
Sir, it's Starbuck.
We got a report of gunshots. What's happening?
My cover was bIown. I had to move. I'm sorry.
ADAMA: Any casuaIties?
Two Marines, probabIy KIA,
at Ieast one of the gunmen,
and Lee.
It was crazy in there, confused, and he got hit.
How bad?
I don't know.
Stand by.
HoId your position. Make no move unIess you hear from me.
It was friendIy fire.
Lee got hit by friendIy fire.
I think it was me.
You have your orders.

Are you pIaying with us? Are you pIaying with me?
I've saved the ship, saved you,
how many times now?
Five? Six?
You just can't beIieve I'm not pIaying against you.
You know that there are CyIons within this FIeet.
You know what they Iook Iike. You know where to find them.
If I were to ask you, wouId you teII me who they are?
No.
That I beIieve.

He'II be aII right.
Thanks for the concern.
She Ioses a husband and suddenIy the worId owes her an expIanation.
He was a good man.
And he wasn't just her husband. He was my brother.
My brother died on Picon. He was a good man, too.
They're aII good men.
The AbineII woman sent over a manifesto to the press
before they took over the bar.
It's mostIy a coIIection of rumor and conspiracy theories
about CyIons in the miIitary and the government.
Bunch of crap.
It's getting a Iot of attention. We gotta get our peopIe out of there.
You have Marines on Cloud 9.
The pressure door to the room has been reseaIed.
If we try bIowing it open, we'II need so much G4
we'd risk kiIIing everyone inside.
There are no options Ieft except for one.
No. We don't strike deaIs with terrorists. We can't.
We give them Sharon VaIerii, we're inviting terrorism,
and we weaken our position permanentIy. You know that.
GentIemen, everyone in that room
is someone's son, someone's wife, someone's mother.
BiIIy is the cIosest thing that I have to famiIy Ieft in this worId.
And if you don't think that that confuses things emotionaIIy for me...
Let's not be naive.
What if they're right?
What if Sharon has been pIaying us aII,
pIotting our destruction with every passing day?
What if the terrorists are right?
This isn't about Sharon. It's about something much bigger than that.
It's about the Iong-term survivaI.
It's about the way we conduct ourseIves in aII of this.
Sir, it's AbineII on the Iine.
How's my son?
AIive, but my friend is dead.
So are two of your soldiers. And your son's dying.
You know, I thought a Iong time about this.
About what I'd do. About how far I'd go.
And I honestIy did not know until this moment...
Two.
What? What?
Get on your feet.
What are you going to do?
SauI! Give them what they want!
It's just a machine!
WOMAN: Oh, no. Oh, no. No!
They're gonna kiII her.
HoId your fire.
I'm giving you the CyIon,
but she won't be aIive.
What does that mean? That is not the deaI.
It means that you've convinced me that we may have been pIayed.
And if that be the case, and she's been pIaying with me,
then I can't take any more chances. So you make up your mind.
lf you want Sharon Valerii, you can have her,
but on my terms.
I give you the body, you give me the hostages.
Done.
