THEME MUSIC PLAYING
NARRATOR: In part one of "Living Legend. "
How did you survive?
You will maintain silence until we land aboard the Battlestar Pegasus.
Pegasus?
Do you know whose ship that was?
Cain, the greatest military commander that ever lived. He was my idol.
A toast to our victory over the Cylons!
ALL: Hail!
My old friend, the most we can hope to get from the Cylons is some fuel.
A military victory's out of the question.
What are you talking about?
I've had them on their knees in this quadrant with just one battlestar.
With two... ha! I'll finish them!
You met my daughter.
Happy birthday, Father. I love you.
I'm sorry, if I'd met that young lady, I'd know it.
She was the pilot that almost flew you right out of your britches.
Like father, like daughter.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe Sheba wanted to fill that role?
She's my daughter.
I could be your daughter as well.
You could be, but you aren't.
FIRING
EXPLODING
Commander, with all due respect,
Blue Squadron was nowhere in the vicinity when those tankers blew up!
Nothing personal, Apollo.
You and your squadron handled yourselves as well as any warriors I've ever seen.
It was an honor to have you along
and I wouldn't dream of attacking that Cylon base without you.
We're going against the whole base?
I don't think we have any choice now.
Well, right now I need you and your tactical wizardry.
They didn't use more than three baseships
when they wiped out our entire fleet at Caprica.
Yes, but surprise was on their side at Caprica.
This time, it might be on our side.
Pull out the Pegasus.
I'll bring it around and squeeze them in between us.
This time, the Galactica hasn't a chance.
Concentrate our fighters on the Galactica’s landing bays.
Her warriors won't be able to refuel, reload or land.
EXPLODING
The Galactica is reporting heavy damage to her landing bays.
Bring her around 60 degrees. We're going in.
Burn, Galactica.
You're finished, Adama!
Sir, if I may. Not now.
I don't want to miss a moment of the last battlestar's destruction.
I really think you should look at the other battlestar.
What are you babbling about...
It's impossible.
Turn, you fool! Turn!
He's coming right for us!
NARRATOR: And now, the exciting conclusion of "Living Legend. "
Sound the retreat. Return to our baseships.
But we have not finished off the Galactica.
We're half out of fuel
and those Vipers are coming in fresh!
Now, do as I say before they blast us
out of the stars!
EXPLODES
Retreat, squadron, retreat.
VIPER PILOT: They’re retreating.
Retreat.
Commander Cain on the line, Father.
Thanks for the assist, Cain.
It didn't look any too good there for a while.
It doesn’t look any too good now.
What’ve you got cooking on that bridge?
Everything's under control at the moment,
but I'd like to land my fighters on the Pegasus.
It'll take some time to repair our landing bays.
My pleasure.
Commander, may I suggest we call a council of war as quickly as possible.
Those mong-raking Cylons are in a state of shock right now,
but that won’t last long.
Agreed. We'll meet in 20 centons in my quarters.
I’ll be there.
The Cylons have three baseships confirmed,
plus four squadrons from Gamoray.
We can't let them launch that united assault. We'd never survive.
So now is the time to knock out that base on Gamoray.
Go on the offensive when we're so badly outgunned?
Yes. It would take them by surprise.
He is right about that, Father.
I don't see them expecting us to go against their outer capital
with three baseships stalking us.
Losing lives in exchange for that base goes against everything I believe in.
But we wouldn't lose any lives.
Two battlestars would completely overwhelm Gamoray.
Their anti-assault batteries are practically foolproof.
Yes. But as you know, Cylons have no independent initiative.
Their control circuits are always centralized.
So if we send in a small team to neutralize their anti-assault batteries,
our squadrons can sweep over the city and shut down the whole place.
Then we go in and keep on fighting until Gamoray is ours.
I must say this again.
We can't even think of trying to capture that base.
All we could hope to gain from Gamoray
is the fuel we need to elude those baseships.
As soon as they discover what we've done,
they will send those baseships at us with everything they have.
Our fuel landing teams will be vulnerable targets sitting on the ground.
No question about it.
Once we secure the fuel base,
I propose that we withdraw one battlestar to delay those incoming baseships.
A single battlestar, to fight off three Cylon baseships?
Not fight off, delay.
I'll give the impression that we're leaving Gamoray,
that we're moving off.
|'|| lead them away.
You seem to have decided it's to be the Pegasus
that withdraws and tackles those baseships.
The Galactica is still under repair.
I'd like you to meet me in my quarters, Commander.
What are you worried about? A repetition of the tanker incident?
That's precisely what I'm worried about.
Cain, I am a great admirer of your strategic genius.
But it's a history of individual initiative, not teamwork.
Well, I can't lie to you, nothing would please me more
than taking Gamoray and running up our flag.
Do you fully comprehend the liability of a military confrontation
while protecting 220 unarmed civilian ships?
That's why I propose to use the Pegasus to divert those baseships away from you.
| just don't want any more surprises.
Then the mission is a go?
I don't have a choice, do I?
Cain! Cain.
What is it? What's happening?
| just heard you're returning to the Pegasus.
That's right.
I was hoping we would talk.
And I've been hoping you'd say that.
But now is just not the time, Cassie.
Maybe I could ride over to the Pegasus in your shuttle.
No, Cassie. It'd be safer for you here.
Safer?
Why? What are you going to do?
It's a mission. Don't worry.
I'll be all right. I always come back.
I love you.
SIGHS
Apollo, what are our chances of coming out of this thing?
I mean, we're walking right into a Cylon city.
APOLLO: You really want to know?
That's what I thought.
Of course, any time you want to back out, Boomer...
We're all in this together, my friend.
Now, what's this?
Well, I checked out a little extra firepower. I'm afraid we may need it.
Is this where we check in?
For what?
We've been assigned to the Galactica ground force.
By whose orders?
My father's.
We are after all the only people in this room who are familiar with the target.
You've been there on the ground?
No, but we've been over it many times,
and since we'll be making free-flight Jumps,
it might be nice for you to know where you're going.
Uh, no reflection on your ability,
but I'm just a little puzzled at your father risking you on such a...
One-way mission?
TUTTING
No offense, lady, but this kid doesn't go on one-way missions.
I'm sorry. I was just being a realist.
Realist?
if we were realists, we'd all be dead back on Caprica.
Where's the med tech? I'd like to get started.
We're not taking one.
What?
We're not gonna have any time to stop for the wounded.
We've got millicentons to get in and out of there as it is.
Okay. It's my kind of mission. Short.
I do see what you mean. You're an optimist.
Mmm-hmm. Look, would you like to make a little side bet that we come back?
What's the side bet?
Well, uh...
Why don't we make it something real personal?
Bad idea, Lieutenant.
You wouldn't want me throwing the mission just to avoid the bet.
Starbuck. Cassiopeia.
I have to talk to you.
Well, you picked a great time. We're getting ready to launch.
That's what I want to talk to you about.
I know about the jump. Where are they sending Cain?
I'm getting ready to jump into an inferno
and you wanna talk to me about Cain?
He isn't planning on coming back.
Starbuck? Let's move. Yeah,yeah.
Look, Cassiopeia, I don't know what you heard about Cain,
but he's a survivor, he'll be back.
If that's what's worrying you.
Starbuck.
If Cain was expecting to survive,
he would have taken me aboard the Pegasus.
What are you talking about?
Nothing. We're all in the same fix.
The odds are against us, but we'll get through.
Now, let's go.
SHEBA: She's right. If he left her off of the ship,
he's got to be planning something crazy.
I have to get back to the Pegasus.
You're with us. Your father's orders. Remember?
He doesn't even know anything about this, the whole thing was my idea.
I'll take her place.
You can't point out the Cylon command base on Gamoray. She can.
Where's your med tech? I don't see one.
We don't have one.
Well, you do now.
With support troops like this, who needs Cylons?
Shuttle standing by to launch to Gamoray.
Launch.
May the Lord be with you.
What is the latest intelligence?
It is the consensus of the commanders
of the two supporting baseships
that we should ask for help from the planet Gamoray at once.
Somehow I find the idea of some base commander on Gamoray
taking credit for destroying the Galactica slightly annoying.
We did not do quite so well in battle this day.
We were taken by surprise, thanks to your so-called intelligence reports.
How many squadrons are based on Gamoray?
Four complete squadrons, the equivalent of a baseship.
In other words,
we have the firepower of four baseships at our disposal?
That is correct.
Prepare for a new attack.
Pegasus is underway right behind us.
They should be nearing their drop zone.
A drop right into the heart of a Cylon capital.
How did we ever become so desperate?
That's it. Let's go.
Sheba, Bojay,
we'll home in on you since you have the best chance of spotting the Cylon base.
Anybody ever told me I'd deliberately jump out of a ship
into the middle of the Cylon Empire...
WHOOSHING
It is indeed an auspicious occasion.
How often does the lmperious Leader
himself journey all the way from Cylon?
Attention, attention.
His Eminence the lmperious Leader will be with us shortly.
His ship has landed at the air dome.
These munition bunkers could be a nice diversion
until we penetrate the headquarters.
It shouldn't take too much to blow them sky-high.
Yeah! Go!
Presenting His Eminence, our lmperious Leader.
Where are the others? They're over this way.
Okay, let's go.
Where's Bojay? We thought he was with you.
Halt.
GUNSHOTS
Bojay! Sheba!
Bojay!
Get out of here!
This whole place is gonna blow up.
STARBUCK: We've got to knock out those anti-assault batteries, now. Let's go.
BOOMER: Can we do it? Just the two of us? We're gonna have to.
Okay, let's go.
BOJAY GROANING
All right, now hold him still. This is gonna hurt, but it'll stop the bleeding.
Can't you give him anything for the pain?
If I do, he won't be able to walk.
Okay, come on.
APOLLO: Come on, Bojay, it's your only chance.
BOJAY GRUNTS
Come on. That's it.
My fellow Cylons, it is indeed a great honor
to dedicate this southern center of Cylon culture
to the advance of and perfection of the Cylon race.
Where is everybody?
With this secure outpost deep in the heart of the Krillian star system,
our supremacy is all but assured.
EXPLODING
Uh-oh.
What, pray tell, was that?
There go the bunkers.
Find out, before I have you scavenged for spare parts.
EXPLODING
Put me down. I can't go any more. GROANING
He's got to stop all this running.
The pressure on the sealed artery is enormous.
I'll stay with him.
No, you're needed with Apollo.
I'll watch Bojay.
She's right. We haven't much time.
Here. I hope you won't have to use this.
Just worry about the Galactica and the Pegasus.
BOJAY PANTING
Let's go.
EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
Sheba! Let's go!
GROANING
EXPLODING
Picking up sonic disturbances from the surface of Gamoray.
TIGH: We're closing to launch range.
And well within their anti-assault range.
Do we launch?
ADAMA: We wait until we're sure they've destroyed the anti-assault batteries.
Long-range scanners are picking up an intrusion in our quadrant.
Scan for identification.
Alert ground-to-air stations and intercept aircraft.
GUNSHOTS
Let's get out of here, Boomer. There's too many of them.
What about the control center?
Did you find the control center? We found it all right.
Where? There!
EXPLODING
We are now within their scanner range.
They'll be coming up after us with or without ground missile support.
Launch. Notify the Pegasus.
The Galactica is launching.
At last. Good! Good!
EXPLODING
GUNFIRE AND EXPLOSIONS
It’s almost too easy!
Are our ships ready to launch the final assault
against the Galactica and Pegasus?
There is a problem.
I don't want to hear about any problems.
We have them where we want them. Now, launch.
But they aren’t where we want them.
What do you mean, they aren't where we want them?
They are at this moment over Gamora y.
What?
Blowing the pogees out of it, if reports coming in are accurate.
The fact that Gamoray is being attacked is perfect!
It means the Colonial Fleet is completely unprotected.
Launch a killer force at once.
Did you hear me? I said destroy the Fleet!
There ’s a special envoy on Gamoray.
It is headed by our lmperious Leader,
there to dedicate the new base.
Imperious Leader is on Gamoray?
I wonder what he’ll think when he finds that the base on which he is standing
is being destroyed by two ships you had within your grasp only this morning.
This is unbelievable.
We must rush to our leader’s defense.
Yes, send everything we have to destroy those two battlestars
and let not a single ship return until that's accomplished!
EXPLODING
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
Don't shoot!
EXHALES
How's Bojay?
We've got to get him up to the life station as soon as possible.
We've already got two shuttles on the way down.
Boomer's at the landing area. Let's go.
BOJAY GRUNTING
Commander, Captain Apollo reports that the fuel depot is secured.
Oh, good.
We can send in the tankers and recall our fighters.
Have the fighters rearmed immediately.
Those Cylon baseships will be throwing everything they have at us.
APOLLO: Sheba! Take him.
Starbuck, I'll see you in a couple of centons.
Oh, no, wait! Wait!
You think I'm gonna stay down here and miss all the fun, you're crazy.
Hey...
EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
APOLLO: Wait a centon. That's not the Galactica we're heading for,
that's the Pegasus.
WOMAN: Orders. From whom?
From me.
It's a medical emergency, Captain,
and the Pegasus is the nearest ship.
WOMAN: We're cleared to land. Shall I go in? Go in.
Starbuck,
| just want you to know that, um,
it is Bojay I'm thinking of. I know.
That doesn't mean that, uh... That I've decided.
Hey. Hey, I know that, too.
Everyone's entitled to a little confusion in their lives.
| practically thrive on it.
Sir, long-range scanners pick up
an unbelievable number of enemy craft on their way.
Prepare coordinates to intercept.
You mean to lead them off, hit and run?
I mean intercept, I mean go through them. Through them?
Yes. Straight through their task force to Baltar's baseship.
Yes, sir.
And when Baltar figures out that you're after his hide,
he'll recall all of his forces attacking Gamoray.
It's a good plan, sir, if it works.
My plans always work.
What are you doing aboard the Pegasus, Captain?
Well, yours was the closest battlestar I could return to with the wounded, sir.
How bad was it down there?
Well, Bojay took a hit, but your daughter and Cassiopeia are both fine.
My daughter and Cassiopeia? They went with you on that mission?
Like father, like daughter, sir.
Anyway, congratulations. Your mission was a big success.
They weren't able to get one ship off the ground
and we didn't lose anybody.
How is Bojay?
Well, that depends upon this plan of yours, sir.
I thought the idea was to divert Baltar's forces,
not attack them head-on!
Strategy, Captain, strategy.
And as for Bojay, he will be shuttled off to the Fleet
just as soon as we get past Baltar's task force.
Don't you mean if we get by his task force?
We're gonna be outgunned 3-to-1.
We've got to move out if we're to intercept Baltar's ships away from Gamoray.
If you're leaving for the Galactica, this is your last chance.
With the Galactica’s alpha landing deck incapacitated,
most of my squadron's ships are aboard the Pegasus.
I just hope you realize how many brave, young warriors
might not survive a head-on clash with the Cylons.
I'm willing to put it to them on a voluntary basis.
My men are no different from yours.
They think of you as some kind of legend.
Well, I do know how to win a battle.
Yes, but what about your warriors?
Are you thinking of them when you take on three baseships all by yourself?
Or are you thinking of history?
"The Legend of Commander Cain!"
You're out of line, Captain.
Full speed ahead, Colonel.
I just wanted to remind you that your own daughter will be out there with us.
Tell me it isn't true. Three baseships head-on?
It's true.
Is he crazy? A little.
APOLLO: It's what gives him his advantage.
Who'd think of anything like this but Cain?
Thanks for getting me back alive.
You're quite a lady.
He can talk, but not too long.
SNIFFLES
I hear we closed them down good.
Yeah, we really spoiled their party.
I got another one to go to, so I'll see you as soon as | get back.
| wish I could go with you.
I promise I'll tell you all about it.
Cassiopeia...
Sheba.
Sheba, wait. Sheba, wait.
I can't, we're launching. We have 3-to-1 odds, but then you know that.
I want you to take Bojay and shuttle him back to the Fleet.
I'm sorry, Father, what you plan for my squadron, you plan for me.
ALARM SOUNDING
Look, there's one more thing.
About that lady, the one that seems to mean so much to you.
I watched her save a life today and she risked her own to do it.
So what do I know about people?
Oh, I love you, baby.
And I want to see you again, so you be careful.
You too, Commander.
Cylon force closing. 20 microns.
Launch defense force.
Fighters launched and taking up a spearhead in front of the Pegasus.
They are heading directly for us.
Commence firing.
APOLLO: Starbuck?
So many of them, you can’t miss. Yeah.
But I just lost Bunker and Taggs.
Laser fire’s so thick you could walk on it.
Our fighters blew a nice clean corridor down the middle of their forces,
but they're coming in on us from all sides.
Straight ahead! Full speed!
A report from our task force.
A single battlestar has been sent out to intercept them.
Destroy it, then continue on.
It should take no time at all.
By your command.
The Battlestar Pegasus is not stopping to engage us.
Impossible. That is why she is here. Pursue and destroy.
Another report.
The lone battlestar is destroyed and our forces are on their way to Gamoray.
Not exactly.
What's happened?
The Pegasus and her warriors did not stop to engage our fighters.
Did not engage? But that's...
Ah, of course.
They're a decoy.
They intend to lead our fighters off, make them pursue and burn off fuel,
while Gamoray remains under attack.
A very clever plan.
But I see right through it.
Break off the attack. Continue our fighters on towards Gamoray.
We'll finish off the Galactica and then return for the Pegasus
after we've saved our Imperious Leader.
She’s on fire.
We can’t keep going. We’ve got to go back and help her out.
But Cain ’s orders were to punch a hole through these Cylons for the Pegasus.
There isn’t going to be a Pegasus.
You’re right. Let’s go.
Sheba, are you all right?
I don’t think so. I’m pretty badly shot up.
Okay, I’m gonna move in front of you now.
APOLLO: Just follow me in.
We’re boarding the Pegasus.
Thanks, Apollo.
l just hope the Pegasus is still around when you get there.
We can destroy the Pegasus.
By order of the lmperious Leader through his commander, Baltar,
you are to disengage at once and move with all dispatch to Gamoray
to save our lmperious Leader.
Disengage Pegasus and proceed to Gamoray.
Boomer.
I see it, but I don’t understand it.
He was right. By all the Lords, he was right again.
Say again?
Later.
Let’s get aboard the Pegasus and see how bad off she is.
TIGH: Ground crews report that fuel loading is almost complete.
They should able to get off the surface within 30 centons.
Sir, a large body of incoming ships from Delta sector.
Unmistakably Cylon.
SIGHS Cain's plan didn't work.
We can't leave those fuel ships on the surface.
And fully loaded, they aren't gonna be able to move very quickly,
even once we get them launched.
Notify ground teams to close down and prepare to launch.
How is he?
He'll live. I'm not so sure about all the others.
Tell me, are you winning?
You make it sound like my own personal war.
Sheba!
I'm sorry, Father. I missed one.
CASSIOPEIA: Into chamber four.
What happened? How was she hurt?
Like she said, she missed one. The Cylon didn't.
How about the Pegasus? Is the fire under control?
She'll be ready to do the job.
Uh, what job?
Whatever she has to do.
Is he thinking of doing what I think he is?
Yeah. And you know what bothers me?
We're both starting to think just like him.
What's going on here?
| suggest you get every one of your wounded
ready to be transferred into shuttles, and fast.
Telemetry coming through is confusing, sir.
According to our tracking information,
the Pegasus is on a direct course towards the Cylon baseships.
He must have resumed a course toward them
when he was unsuccessful in leading their fighters away.
If he ever attempted to lead them away.
But that was the plan.
No. No, that was our plan.
It was never his.
Priority communication. High-scan scrambler.
Get me Commander Cain, please.
Pegasus coming in on communicator, sir.
Yes, Adama?
Cain, what is your present course?
You wouldn’t be asking me that if you didn’t already know.
Yes, I do know, and I want you to reverse course immediately.
You're steering directly into the Cylon baseships.
You'll kill every man and woman aboard the Pegasus.
It’s all been arranged, Commander.
All non-essential personnel, plus the wounded,
are being transferred to the Fleet.
They should arrive there about the same time
that you get back from Gamoray.
That won't help you or your crew.
Well, if my plan works,
those Cylon fighters approaching you will soon turn back.
Hopefully, by the time they get here
there won’t be a baseship left for them to land on.
Cain, listen to me.
You could achieve the same thing
if you veer away from those baseships at the very last centon.
Don't attempt to take them on.
No. Then those fighters will be able to refuel
and go back after you and your fleet.
No. No, I’ll get rid of those baseships somehow.
You realize I can relieve you of your command?
Adama, please. Don’t make my last battle an act of mutiny.
Send me in with your blessing.
My prayers go with you and all who serve you.
Thank you, Adama. Thank you.
If the Pegasus did not head back towards the Galactica
and she did not head off across the stars, then where is she heading?
Directly towards us, Your Eminence.
Towards us? But that's absurd.
He's allowing us to destroy the Galactica and the Fleet.
Who in his right mind would do such a thing?
May I suggest the legendary Commander Cain?
Cain.
Yes, Cain, of course. Cain!
What does he care about the Fleet or the Galactica? He wants...
He wants me!
Lucifer, recall our fighters at once!
TIGH: Sir.
The incoming Cylon fleet has suddenly turned around
and is headed back the other way.
Cain is attacking all three baseships on his own.
That's exactly what he said he'd do.
Apollo. Starbuck.
Good luck.
You're both fine warriors.
Between both our squadrons, sir,
we'll get your people to safety.
I know you will. That's why I'm trusting you with them.
Commander, there are those of us
that don't have a lot of attachments.
At least I don't, and I'd like to see this one through with you to the end.
I appreciate your offer, Starbuck,
but if I'm right, Baltar's fighters are on their way back.
And if they run into our shuttles,
Apollo's gonna have to have all the help he can get.
What about you? Without fighters...
Their baseships don't have any fighters right now either.
But they do have weaponry.
So does the Pegasus.
Good luck, sir.
Apollo, why do I have the feeling we won't ever see him again?
I don't know, Starbuck, 'cause I don't have that feeling.
And I can't explain why because
there's no military way he can survive.
But then that's been the story of his whole career.
Father, please don't make me go. I don't want to leave you.
You must go, sweetheart. You must, baby. Please.
No, please. I know I'll be okay.
Take her, Cassie. All the shuttles are loaded and ready to go.
I'll be fine, I know. No!
I'll see you soon.
You're a very special man, Cain.
VOICE BREAKING I'll never forget you.
MAN: ON PA Final countdown to launch.
Launch shuttles and fighter protection.
TOLAN: All ships launched.
Range to baseships?
TOLAN: 110 centons.
Moving down to 11 centons at full speed.
All right, Tolan, let's get there.
We've got a very important appointment with a man named Baltar.
How long before our fighters can return to defend us?
I’m afraid the Pegasus will reach us first.
Then drop back.
Let the other two baseships intercept the Pegasus.
I’m not sure the other base commanders will appreciate that.
It isn't a request. It's an order.
Two basestars coming up on range, sir.
The third is falling back behind them.
That will be Baltar's ship.
Plot a course between those two forward ships.
It's going to get a little sticky in there, sir.
Arm all air-to-air missiles
and bring electronic defense shields to maximum power.
Apollo, according to my scanner, our vector to the Fleet
will take these shuttles well out of the path
of the returning Cylon fighters.
That’s the whole idea.
We don’t wanna lead them back to the fleet of civilian ships.
Yes. But that means they don’t really need our protection.
I mean, what’s one more Viper? Or two more, if you get my meaning.
I get your meaning.
What you’re talking about is violating orders.
Whose?
Cain ’s.
How can we be accused of violating the orders of a man
who isn’t following orders himself?
Somehow that makes sense to me.
Good. Are you with me?
Boomer? Yo.
APOLLO: You’re in command.
Starbuck and I wanna check out our rear flank.
How far to our rear?
Don’t ask too many questions.
That’s what I thought. Good luck.
Commander, two Vipers are approaching us
from behind at just sub-light speed.
Who is it? What are they up to? Identify.
TOLAN: Pegasus closing to target range.
Two baseships directly ahead.
The shield.
There they are.
Looks like he intends to go between them.
Let’s see if we can knock out their flank missile launchers.
I’ll take the ship on the right.
I got the other one.
Vipers are attempting strafing runs
on baseships directly ahead.
Vipers against baseships?
They seem to be aiming for the flank-side
missile launchers on both ships.
They're clearing a path for us to get between the two ships.
It’s nice in here.
They can’t fire at us without hitting each other.
Trouble is, we can’t stay in here. We ’d better make it count.
Scanner reports heavy damage to baseships.
Good, good. All right, all right.
Let's go right between them and finish them off.
Stand by all missiles for point-blank launch!
Even their shields won't be able to help them.
Closing on blank range.
Ten, nine...
Six, five...
Two, one.
Fire missiles!
EXPLOSION
APOLLO: Starbuck, let’s get out of here. The Pegasus is launching her missiles.
Did you see that?
I can’t see anything but spots.
I’ve never seen a flash like that.
Can you see the Pegasus?
No. There's too much smoke and debris.
What do we do now?
APOLLO: Here comes their entire attack force. We have no choice.
We go home... as fast as we can.
Not too long. She needs to build back her strength.
Any word? No.
But that's nothing to be concerned about.
Your father wouldn't break communication silence and reveal his position.
Thank you for trying.
But what are the odds he survived?
All those fighters and a baseship.
What were the odds when we all thought you were lost two yahrens ago?
STARBUCK: As far as I'm concerned,
he just headed out into deep space the way he did the last time.
The Cylon's fighters couldn't have followed
very far with empty fuel cells.
They'd flown along way already.
He's right, you know.
In the meantime, until your father does communicate with us,
I want you to consider yourself part of our family.
I already do.
NARRATOR: Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny,
the last battlestar, Galactica,
leads a ragtag, fugitive fleet on a lonely quest,
a shining planet
known as Earth.
