The ship you seek is just now entering the Earth's atmosphere.
It is the Cylon vessel.
The Cylons will walk the Earth.
She's going in, about 60 miles north of New York City.
(EXPLOSIONS)
Centurions, rise.
Our main concern is to get to the craft
and its crew before anybody else.
Stop the car! (TIRES SCREECHING)
What happened?
That costume, it's incredible.
You just gave me a heart attack.
It's Halloween, right? Everybody has a blast tonight.
ADAMA: The great ship, Galactica.
Our home for these many years
we've endured the wilderness of space.
And now we near the end of our journey.
We have at last found Earth.
Captain, I'm still echoing that slow-moving target.
Put it up on the large scan.
Yes, sir.
Verification signals?
Mineral content, body deflection, and absorption factors.
Everything suggests a Cylon machine.
It's a Cylon fighter. And look at the armament on that ship.
But larger than their pursuit craft.
And much faster, sir. It's approaching now at an incredible rate.
Raise the Galactica, Priority Red.
Visual sighting, sir!
She's coming right at us.
Prepare for evasive action.
Skipper, what happened?
We're not even close to range.
We've got to find out what's inside that
new ship and notify the Galactica.
I don't believe the firepower.
We're going in. We have to get some
close-range scans of that thing.
You keep trying to contact Galactica.
There's nothing, sir. They must have a
jamming signal blocking the airwaves.
We have to pull out.
Not 'til we get a close-up scan.
(BEEPING)
Felgercarb! Look at this. The outline is humanoid.
There is no way we can let that
thing continue on its present course.
It'll discover Earth.
We've got to stop it.
We're the only ones who know about it.
I only know one way to do it without using firepower.
Here goes nothing.
This is Recon Probe Delta to Galactica. Acknowledge. Priority Red.
(STATIC)
I can't raise the Galactica.
Lieutenant, we damaged her,
but it looks like she's gonna float right into Earth's orbit.
Lieutenant?
Commander, our monitors have detected
a ship floating un-powered toward Earth.
Dr. Zee, we've tried to reach Recon Probe Delta,
but they do not respond.
We must assume there was complete power shutdown,
or they would have returned by now.
I think we can assume that what our monitors are picking up
is Recon Probe Delta.
It must have drifted into Earth's gravitational pull.
It will undoubtedly be observed by Earth's defense system.
You must contact Captain Troy and Lieutenant Dillon at once.
They should be in position to rendezvous when the craft lands.
Troy and Dillon are still taking care of the children.
I'm sure they're helping them adjust to Earth life.
(GROWLING)
(SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
Troy, this is frightening. I wonder where
they get pictures of things like that.
I haven't seen anything like that since the planet Gorkon.
(BEEPING)
Troy here.
This is the Galactica. Priority Red condition. Can you talk?
Not very well.
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
What's that noise?
It's called an Earth entertainment.
Captain, one of our patrols is lost.
And we believe it has wandered into Earth's gravitational pull.
I'll give you a complete briefing
as soon as you're in a safe zone for transmission.
We'll be leaving here as soon as possible.
Children, we have to leave now.
We wanna stay.
We wanna stay, this is funny.
Yeah, they look like the Gorkons.
CHILDREN: Awww!
Whatever it is, it's coming down.
Skylab all over again.
I'll have 50 reporters on my back if you let this leak out.
Sir, every observatory in the world knows what's happening here.
We can't keep it from the press.
You're sure it isn't one of our own
satellites falling back to Earth?
Positive.
It could be Israeli or French.
But, the odds-on guess around here is that it's Russian.
Well, one thing for sure,
I'd much rather explain one of their mistakes than one of ours.
The worst is yet to come.
You mean it could get worse? Yes, sir.
According to our calculations,
she's going down smack in the middle of New York.
Oh, my Lord.
How much time do I have?
Give or take a few hours, I think she's
coming down sometime tomorrow night.
Thanks.
WOMAN: Welcome to the Griffith Park Observatory.
Displayed here in the foyer is a Foucault pendulum.
Suspended 70 feet in the air,
the large weighted gold ball swings back and forth
due to the rotation of the Earth, knocking over pins
that equal the time of the day.
Children, follow those people. Thus giving us physical proof
that the Earth is rotating on an axis.
Go on. We'll catch up with you later.
This is our solar system,
consisting of nine known planets that revolve
around the sun, of which Earth is the third.
Scientists theorize that there may be
a tenth planet as yet undiscovered.
But... (HUSHING)
At this moment, man has only set foot on the moon.
But robot probes have explored Venus,
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn.
The phones haven't stopped ringing
since that object started falling to Earth.
I'm so glad you called. I was afraid you might be involved.
What have you been able to find out?
Every observatory in the world has spotted it.
Now, I checked with Caltech, and as best as they can determine,
it should come down in the next 12 hours.
How closely can they estimate its trajectory?
They project it will land somewhere in the Tri-State area.
Any word from Dr. Mortinson on the transmission?
None. He's been monitoring that special frequency as you asked.
But there's been nothing over the air waves.
That's strange, Troy. They should be using our distress channel.
We know the general vicinity where it's headed.
Once it touches down, we should be able to locate it.
You haven't even told me what it is.
There's speculation all over the media that it could be Russian.
No, it's not Russian, Jamie.
It's one of ours.
So we have regular reconnaissance
patrols monitoring Earth's corridors.
Just in case a Cylon ship manages to slip by.
(SIGHS)
Heavens. They're that close?
We've learned to be cautious, Jamie.
What happened to your patrol?
Well, the Viper broke radio contact
and hasn't returned from its mission.
The only thing that we can assume is that it had a malfunction
and drifted into Earth's orbit.
Thank heavens.
Our main concern is to get to the craft
and its crew before anybody else.
Wait,
you're going to New York? How?
We have a Viper.
No, you can't do that.
I had a visit this morning from the United States Air Force.
A Colonel Briggs.
Regarding us?
Yes, he's investigating you.
He suspects we're not of this world?
No, he didn't go that far.
One thing he's sure of is that he's going to find you.
Thank you for the warning, Jamie.
As big as it may seem, our solar system
is tiny compared to our galaxy.
The vast Milky Way,
where there are over 100 billion stars.
Actually, 114 billion.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, young man, that isn't what the scientists say,
but you do bring up an interesting point.
Each year, the number changes, as more and more are discovered.
You may notice some of the more familiar constellations
such as the Big Dipper.
That looks backwards.
That's when you're coming from the other side.
Oh.
Of these planets that surround these stars,
many could probably support carbon-based life.
Theories indicate these planets would
most likely be life-supportive,
even though there is no positive
evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Is she a frimp? (SHUSHING)
Yeah, but my point is those machines
of yours keep turning up on military radar.
You're gonna have to go to New York
by conventional means.
What are you gonna do with the children?
We were hoping you'd ask that.
(EXHALES)
Well, I'm sure they can spend a couple
of days at Billy's camp.
You call me if you need me.
Thank you, Jamie.
And I'll make the travel arrangements with the airlines.
A flight in one of your flying machines.
That should be great amusement.
WOMAN: (OVER PA) Now arriving at Gate 29, Trans Global flight 91 from New York.
Passengers holding tickets may check their baggage...
If you've checked your bags at the curb,
you can proceed directly to the boarding gate.
What flight are you on?
We're going to New York City. Nine M.
Nine M? We have a flight two.
9 a.m. That is Flight two. Are you ticketed?
We were told to mention pre-paid.
Pre-paid? I can take care of that for you. What are the names, please?
Jones and Smith.
Jones and Smith?
Those were the names that Jamie said to use.
Remember, there's a bulletin out on Troy and Dillon.
Good thinking. I just hope our images
aren't appearing in all these computers.
Yes, that could be difficult.
Which one is Mr. Jones?
He is.
There you go.
You can proceed right down this way
to Gate 43, through the scanner.
Scanner? You must not fly much.
Scanner. You know, metal detector, to prevent hijacking.
Oh, sure. Hijacking.
Right, high-jacking.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, have a nice flight.
(BEEPING)
The act of seizing a vehicle for illegal puposes.
I wonder what someone would do with
an aircraft once they seized it.
Strange place. It's going to take a lot of getting used to.
Troy, what about our lasers?
She said metal. They're carbon synthetic. We shouldn't have a problem.
WOMAN (ON PA): Mr. C. Bell please report to the baggage claim area.
Mr. C. Bell.
I'm sorry to be holding you up.
This is what happens when you have a baby.
WOMAN (ON PA): Passengers arriving...
Thank you, very much. Have a nice flight.
Tickets, please.
Smoking or non-smoking?
I beg your pardon?
Would you prefer smoking or non-smoking?
Which way does the plane run best?
That's cute.
Well, I guess if you're leaving it up
to me, you don't care to smoke.
Seats 14 B, C. You can go directly on board.
We're ready to close the flight.
Gate 43, right over there, okay?
Oh, you just made it.
Looks very comfortable.
Hi.
Row 14, seats B and C.
Hi. Hi.
Row 14, seats D and E. I'll take that for you, sir.
Thank you. Mmm-hmm.
WOMAN (ON PA): Welcome on board flight two.
For your comfort, the cabin will be pressurized.
Should we, for any reason, lose pressurization during the flight,
you will find oxygen masks automatically
dropping from the overhead compartment.
Simply place the mask over your nose and mouth
as demonstrated by your flight attendant and breathe normally.
I'm not used to flying with somebody else.
I hope these people are good.
...oxygen should become necessary...
Maybe they'll let me take the controls
for a while. What do you think?
I wouldn't even let you.
...be in their seats for take-off.
Why don't you study this guide to the city?
Would you like to buy earphones? Thank you.
All right, everyone. Remain in your seats and be calm.
Please do not move.
We are taking this airplane to Cuba.
Cuba. A country on an island in the West Indies south of Florida.
Capital, Havana.
Forget it. We don't have time to go there.
Easy.
We could get somebody hurt.
That oxygen device. It must drop on some kind of electrical impulse.
You, in the back.
Use the phone to make our demands be known to the cockpit,
or we will be forced to use violence.
(BEEPING)
What is this? What are you doing?
We didn't do it. It's automatic.
The plane must have lost pressurization.
If you don't go on oxygen, you'll pass out.
What's happening back here?
We got an indicator light that the oxygen masks dropped...
I thought you'd done it to trick the hijackers.
Hijackers?
Right there on the floor.
That one has a gun. Be careful.
What's the matter with them?
I don't know.
I do! Those two guys zapped them with a flashing light.
What's he talking about?
I don't know, he...
You know children, vivid imaginations.
They zapped them. I saw it!
We wanna talk to you when the plane lands at Kennedy.
All right, everybody, just relax. Everything's under control.
I want you to inform the Captain,
we want a priority clearance,
and have the FBI, meet the plane. You okay?
Maybe this Cuba would've worked out better.
No, we'll be fine.
Dr. Zee,
you must have heard that Recon Probe Delta has been located.
Yes. One of our squadrons found it
adrift and towed it in a short while ago.
The flight crew, Briton and Kanon,
both sustained wounds from their ordeal,
but they performed admirably as warriors.
Although they bring us distressing news.
Dr. Zee, Commander Adama, we tried to stop that Cylon ship,
but we didn't have a chance. It was incredible. The firepower and speed.
I don't think there's anything in the galaxy equal to it.
If it was not our Viper that we've been tracking toward Earth...
It is the Cylon vessel.
Then the Cylons will walk the Earth.
We can only hope Captain Troy and Lieutenant Dillon
arrive at the landing site in time to intercept them.
But they don't even know that they're
hurrying to rendezvous with the Cylons.
Do you realize it just took us nearly
five hours to fly a miniscule 3,000 miles?
That's only ten miles a minute.
You can fly to the planet Pluto in less time.
Pluto?
The lady at the observatory mentioned it.
The important thing is that we're on the eastern sea.
Plenty of time to intercept that ship.
WOMAN: (OVER PA) This is your stewardess.
We're caught up in a little heavy traffic over JFK.
We'll be circling around for a while to get our turn at the field.
Nothing to be concerned about.
We'll keep the beverage service open until we're cleared in.
It should be about 30 or 40 minutes' delay.
Forty minutes? Thank you very much for your patience.
We'll still be there in plenty of time.
Latest word, Colonel. She'll probably hit
around 9:00 Eastern Standard time.
BRIGGS: You got any better idea of an exact landing area?
JENSEN: You know better than that, Colonel.
NASA missed by an entire continent when Skylab came down.
You had better be a whole lot closer on this one.
That's entirely up to the hardware coming down.
If it holds together, I could put it
within a 200 or 300 mile radius.
But if it breaks up, forget it.
You'll be lucky if it doesn't knock you out of the sky.
That's what I like about you, Major. You're so encouraging.
Well, thanks for the update. I'll be standing by.
Think it's Canada all over again?
(SIGHS)
No. When that Russian satellite came down on Canada,
we already knew exactly what it was,
how long it had been up,
and what went wrong. No, this one is different.
Came into our atmosphere from... I don't know where.
DR. ZEE: Adama, we've examined the close range scans of fighter ship Delta
before it collided with the Cylon vessel, and I have some alarming news.
Since the time of our defeat, the Cylons have not been idle.
Not only have they developed new machines,
but they have evolved beyond our greatest fears.
In what way?
Consider this.
In 30 Earth years, it is possible
to create a totally new technology.
If they are so all-mighty powerful,
why don't they simply destroy us?
They wish to experiment with their new machines.
Using us as living targets.
ANDROMUS: We're slowly but inexorably being drawn
to orbit around that blue planet.
To land at our present velocity is to invite certain destruction.
We must exploit the increasing density
of the atmosphere surrounding this planet
in order to reduce our velocity.
The planet we are approaching has seven major land masses.
A radius of 6,378 kils and is 71 per cent covered with a blanket of H20.
Centurion, projection.
Given three atmospheric braking skips,
what is the anticipated landing zone?
Analysis of the planet we are approaching on scan.
ANDROMIDUS: The body has a central molten metal core
surrounded by a sea of molten rock.
The cool thin crust of hard granite.
The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide,
plus minor trace elements.
What will be the ship's skin temperature at maximum?
Two thousand degrees chronic.
WOMAN: (ON PA) Because of the problem on board earlier in our flight,
there will be FBI people boarding our plane
before anyone can disembark.
But it shouldn't take long.
You'll all be in the terminal in plenty
of time to get to those Halloween parties.
Hallow what?
Forget that. Look up FBI.
(BEEPING)
Uh-oh.
Law enforcement.
First magnitude. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
We can't afford to talk to them.
WOMAN (ON PA): We are now on approach to JFK...
Gentlemen, may I ask you to come to the
rear galley area as soon as we land?
The officials will wanna question you.
I suppose that's necessary.
You're too modest.
I'm sure there'll be an army of newsmen there. You're regular heroes.
How do we get into these messes?
How do we get out of them?
All right, she's in. Now we need a nice,
neat corridor right through here
when we bring them out, all right?
Can we get through here, please?
WOMAN (ON PA): Please stay seated until we have come to a complete stop.
Would you come with me, please?
Passengers continuing on have one hour before we take off.
We ask you that you please remain in the terminal area
and listen for your boarding call.
Passengers terminating at JFK may claim their baggage...
Just stay here until they come aboard.
Thank you for flying with us and we wish you a pleasant stay.
Uh, would it be possible for me to use the...
You want to comb your hair for the cameras?
Comb my hair! Yes! That's it.
Me, too.
And they say women are vain.
Go ahead.
You ready? Ready.
(BEEPING)
Here's my hand.
I got it. Stay right behind me.
The hijackers are in the upstairs lounge with our senior purser.
The two that subdued them are in the rear restroom.
Okay, you men go with the agents.
I'll wait down here for the two gentlemen in the restroom.
Officer!
I'm sorry, somebody pushed me.
Who?
Uh...
(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
Hey, somebody pushed me.
(BEEPING)
Not too bad.
Except that we're very late.
The white curb is for passenger loading and unloading only.
Troy? According to my scanner, the probe
is coming down 60 miles due north.
Hey, no luggage?
Luggage?
Head north. North to where?
Just north.
No luggage, no destination.
You sure you guys got enough bread to pay for this ride?
No, but we have money. (LAUGHS)
Let's see it.
North it is.
CYLON: We are encountering signals from the planet below.
There are apparently life forms on this planet.
Perhaps it is a life form advanced enough to help us repair our ship.
ANDROMUS: Andromidus.
ANDROMIDUS: I see it, but I do not understand.
Centurions, home in on the largest communication center.
And compute its location from our expected point of impact.
As you will.
We have done what no Cylon before us has been able to do.
We have found the lost human civilization.
Projection. Chances of ship's survival.
ANDROMIDUS: Less than 3%.
Survivability of the Cylon units within the ship.
Centurion survival, unlikely.
Advanced forms may reach planet's surface in functional state.
Counting down to impact.
All crewmen prepare.
Twenty, 19, 18, 17...
(PHONE BEEPS)
Briggs.
She's going in, about 60 miles north of New York City.
Okay, we're on our way.
...seven, six, five, four,
three, two, one.
Hey, Leroy.
I see it, but what is it?
I don't know, let's call headquarters
for help and have it checked out.
(SIREN WAILING)
Headquarters, headquarters. Car Seven on I-5.
Can you go any faster?
Faster? To where?
North.
(SIREN APPROACHING)
Would you be interested in making some more money
to follow those vehicles as fast as you can?
Long as you want to head towards the law, I'm your man.
Centurions, lam trapped.
Centurions?
I command you, rise.
Centurions.
I command you.
I am functioning.
Centurion Nine.
By your command.
What is your priority?
To protect you.
I, Andromus, command you.
Rise.
Move, Centurion.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(CHAINSAW BUZZING)
Fire roads are to be kept clear.
We could lose that whole mountain.
Let's get it. Come on.
Let's get up that hill. Come On.
Turn here.
Turn here? There's no road here.
Then stop.
There goes a couple of odd fellows.
Lift, Centurion. Lift.
Oh, thank you, my friend.
Now, we must find a way out.
I must set off the automatic detonator.
We must keep the humans from utilizing our advanced technology.
(WHIRRING)
Distress beacon.
We must hurry, Centurion. We have only microns.
Do you realize what this means, Centuri?
We have no way back and we are alone.
Two against a world of millions.
I will protect you. That is my first order.
According to their transmissions, we have a great advantage.
These people do not know about us.
They do not know about the Galactic war.
After our ship self-destructs, there will be no trace of our presence,
and I will be able to move freely among
Earth people without fear of detection.
We will destroy all humans.
Yes, Centuri, but I blend with the populace.
I am created in man's image.
I'm as agile as they are.
I appear human.
So I may go wherever necessary
to study their transmission centers
so that we may use our distress beacon to signal our people.
I will protect you.
I know you mean well, Centuri, but your form does not blend.
My first order is to protect.
What is it, Centuri?
I perceive life forms approaching.
Then we must go.
Anyone who comes near the ship will be destroyed.
It's not one of ours.
Troy, it's Cylon.
Scan the area for electronic tracks.
Where are you going? Are you crazy?
Dillon?
Troy, it looks human.
TROY: No, it's Cylon.
Let's get him out of here.
The ship's about to detonate. Let's go!
You all right? Yeah.
I don't believe it, how could they get out of there alive?
Paramedics over here!
You guys weren't in that crash?
I think they may be in a little bit of shock.
Get those hoses going!
How anybody could've got out of that crash alive, I'll never know.
Looks like we're not the only ones following this crash.
L just got a call from the chief.
He wants the whole area sealed off.
I'll tell you what. Check that crash site.
And if it was drugs, let's get all the credit we can.
You guys wanna tell me about it?
I don't think this is the time to be talking.
But you seem to be okay. Let's have a statement.
We just got here.
I know you just got here. I can see that.
But, where'd you take off from?
Take off?
Your plane came down,
which means it had to take off from someplace, right?
That's not our ship... Plane. We just arrived.
From where?
A taxi dropped us off on the road back there.
A taxi dropped you off. When?
Just after the crash.
Absolutely nothing left of that plane.
I mean nothing. Not even a mark.
It's gonna be tough checking their flight plan.
There won't be a flight plan.
These boys are on unscheduled business. That I promise you.
Now, you watch them, and watch them close.
Sure.
Look, is there some place where we could go?
To make a statement.
Sure. Max!
Yeah.
Boys wanna come clean.
Okay, let's hear it.
Right this way.
But first, let's check you guys out.
Up against the car. Feet spread. Now.
Spread your legs. That's it. Come on.
Hey Leroy, what in the world is this?
I don't know. Some kind of cigarette lighter?
Holy...
Troy, maybe telling them about the Cylons would have been better.
You heard them. They think we're criminals.
What would they have thought of a story of Cylon invaders?
They'd have locked us up.
Turn on your scanner to the Cylon distress frequency.
(SCANNER BEEPING)
Distress code?
That's why Dr. Mortinson couldn't
find what we told him to look for.
Troy, we were looking for one of our signals.
If that distress call reaches the Cylon base ship...
It's too weak. Even the Galactica couldn't pick it up.
They've got some kind of transmitting device.
They must think they can use it
to reach the Cylon empire. But how?
Earth has a lot of powerful transmitters.
They must think that they can alter one
to transmit directly into space.
They were monitoring Earth's strongest signals on their way down.
They may know exactly where to go.
They don't have that much of a lead on us.
Besides, we have surface transportation.
Troy, that's what I like about you.
We're up against a brand-new Cylon we know nothing about,
and you think we have the advantage.
We do. This is their first time on Earth. Remember what that was like?
(CHUCKLES)
Our topography scans served us well, Centuri.
I'm sure that we've landed within 1,000 metrons
of the primary communication center.
We should be able to walk there
within a single period of darkness followed by light.
WOLFMAN JACK: (OVER RADIO) That'll be the day!
My, my, this is the night, this is Halloween night
with Wolfman Jack just laying down the sounds...
Stop the car! Stop the car!
(TIRES SCREECH)
What? What happened?
That costume, it's incredible.
Costume? Are you out of your mind?
You just gave me a heart attack.
Those guys must have broken down somewhere.
Hey, you want a lift?
Shirley.
SHIRLEY: Come on, we'll give you a lift to town.
(LAUGHS)
I'm not really a vampire.
I have on a costume, just like you. We're going to a party.
Wow.
Anybody who'd go to the trouble to make
a costume like that has got to be a good guy.
It's Halloween, right? Everybody has a blast tonight. Come on!
Shirley, maybe these people are waiting for a tow...
Are you kidding? Out here? Where would they find a phone?
You better get in here, in front with me and Norman.
I think your friend takes up the whole backseat.
Come on.
He's a big one, isn't he?
Gotta be hot in that getup.
Troy, the signal is slightly weaker.
They must be moving away from us in some kind of vehicle.
We're almost back to the main artery. Then we can go faster.
We are grateful for your assistance.
Sure. So where are you heading?
Towards the large population center.
You even talk like you look.
I wish that Mildred and Arnie could see these two.
Shirley, no.
Norman. Have fun.
I mean, everybody goes to two or three parties on Halloween.
I'll tell you one thing. You'd have a terrific time.
Everybody's going to be there. Even Wolfman.
Wolfman?
WOLFMAN JACK (ON RADIO): We're gonna get down...
There it is.
All you part-time vampires,
we're gonna get down in the Disco Inferno.
(HOWLING)
(MUSIC PLAYING) (SIGHS)
I'm being terribly rude. I'm Shirley,
and this is my husband, Norman.
He's general manager of the station we're listening to.
Station?
Hundred and fifty thousand watts.
On a good night, they can hear us in the next galaxy.
Really?
FEMALE POLICE OFFICER: (OVER RADIO) Attention all units, Code 10-16.
Stolen police vehicle in area of Hudson River Parkway.
Unit Number 1711. All units report any contact and be advised,
two men, Caucasian, reported driving vehicle,
are armed and considered extremely dangerous.
Troy?
Yes?
There goes our advantage. We're in trouble.
(GIGGLES)
I guess they're humoring us.
If they don't know about the radio station,
then they must be classical buffs.
In which case, they won't be very impressed meeting Wolfman Jack.
On the contrary,
I think Centuri and I would be delighted to meet this Wolfman Jack.
And I would like to hear all about your radio station.
Oh, well, then it's settled!
I can't wait to see Arnie and Mildred's
faces when we walk in with these two.
Me, neither.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIRENS WAILING)
Troy?
I see them.
We have the fugitive police car in sight.
We're in pursuit on West 12th Street, heading toward Westside Drive.
We're gonna have to make a choice.
If we stop, we'll lose time.
It's the one thing we can't afford to lose
with those two Cylons ahead of us.
Maybe if we tell somebody what's going on, here on Earth.
Who'd believe us? The Air Force?
That wouldn't do any good.
All those Cylons need to do is get control
of a transmitter for just a few minutes.
Amazing.
Yes. I always feel the same way
whenever I come into Manhattan.
Where exactly is this party you fellows are going to?
Oh, you needn't be concerned about us.
Aren't they cute?
Mildred and Arnie are just gonna love this.
Yeah, well, I hope they feel the same way after Arnie forces
a couple of his famous meatballs down their throat.
Now, Norman, don't get started on those meatballs again this year.
They are to the digestive tract
what Vida Blue is to the San Francisco Giants. A stopper.
Norman, please. You're gonna frighten these guys.
Good, if they had any sense, they'd go to their own party.
The only reason I'm going to Arnie's myself
is because he is the best program director in radio.
And as for that sister of his,
she's so desperate for a husband,
she once proposed to a mugger in Central Park.
Oh, she did not. You're terrible.
NORMAN: We'll see.
The only thing I can tell you fellows, to be on guard.
Between Arnie's food and his sister's romantic malnutrition,
you could be in for the night of your life.
You don't need to be concerned.
We're quite capable of defending ourselves. Right, Centuri?
By your command.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
(GIGGLES)
The ship you seek is just now entering the Earth's atmosphere.
It is the Cylon vessel.
The Cylons will walk the Earth.
She's going in, about 60 miles north of New York City.
(EXPLOSIONS)
Centurions, rise.
Our main concern is to get to the craft
and its crew before anybody else.
Stop the car! (TIRES SCREECHING)
What happened?
That costume, it's incredible.
You just gave me a heart attack.
It's Halloween, right? Everybody has a blast tonight.
ADAMA: The great ship, Galactica.
Our home for these many years
we've endured the wilderness of space.
And now we near the end of our journey.
We have at last found Earth.
Captain, I'm still echoing that slow-moving target.
Put it up on the large scan.
Yes, sir.
Verification signals?
Mineral content, body deflection, and absorption factors.
Everything suggests a Cylon machine.
It's a Cylon fighter. And look at the armament on that ship.
But larger than their pursuit craft.
And much faster, sir. It's approaching now at an incredible rate.
Raise the Galactica, Priority Red.
Visual sighting, sir!
She's coming right at us.
Prepare for evasive action.
Skipper, what happened?
We're not even close to range.
We've got to find out what's inside that
new ship and notify the Galactica.
I don't believe the firepower.
We're going in. We have to get some
close-range scans of that thing.
You keep trying to contact Galactica.
There's nothing, sir. They must have a
jamming signal blocking the airwaves.
We have to pull out.
Not 'til we get a close-up scan.
(BEEPING)
Felgercarb! Look at this. The outline is humanoid.
There is no way we can let that
thing continue on its present course.
It'll discover Earth.
We've got to stop it.
We're the only ones who know about it.
I only know one way to do it without using firepower.
Here goes nothing.
This is Recon Probe Delta to Galactica. Acknowledge. Priority Red.
(STATIC)
I can't raise the Galactica.
Lieutenant, we damaged her,
but it looks like she's gonna float right into Earth's orbit.
Lieutenant?
Commander, our monitors have detected
a ship floating un-powered toward Earth.
Dr. Zee, we've tried to reach Recon Probe Delta,
but they do not respond.
We must assume there was complete power shutdown,
or they would have returned by now.
I think we can assume that what our monitors are picking up
is Recon Probe Delta.
It must have drifted into Earth's gravitational pull.
It will undoubtedly be observed by Earth's defense system.
You must contact Captain Troy and Lieutenant Dillon at once.
They should be in position to rendezvous when the craft lands.
Troy and Dillon are still taking care of the children.
I'm sure they're helping them adjust to Earth life.
(GROWLING)
(SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
Troy, this is frightening. I wonder where
they get pictures of things like that.
I haven't seen anything like that since the planet Gorkon.
(BEEPING)
Troy here.
This is the Galactica. Priority Red condition. Can you talk?
Not very well.
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
What's that noise?
It's called an Earth entertainment.
Captain, one of our patrols is lost.
And we believe it has wandered into Earth's gravitational pull.
I'll give you a complete briefing
as soon as you're in a safe zone for transmission.
We'll be leaving here as soon as possible.
Children, we have to leave now.
We wanna stay.
We wanna stay, this is funny.
Yeah, they look like the Gorkons.
CHILDREN: Awww!
Whatever it is, it's coming down.
Skylab all over again.
I'll have 50 reporters on my back if you let this leak out.
Sir, every observatory in the world knows what's happening here.
We can't keep it from the press.
You're sure it isn't one of our own
satellites falling back to Earth?
Positive.
It could be Israeli or French.
But, the odds-on guess around here is that it's Russian.
Well, one thing for sure,
I'd much rather explain one of their mistakes than one of ours.
The worst is yet to come.
You mean it could get worse? Yes, sir.
According to our calculations,
she's going down smack in the middle of New York.
Oh, my Lord.
How much time do I have?
Give or take a few hours, I think she's
coming down sometime tomorrow night.
Thanks.
WOMAN: Welcome to the Griffith Park Observatory.
Displayed here in the foyer is a Foucault pendulum.
Suspended 70 feet in the air,
the large weighted gold ball swings back and forth
due to the rotation of the Earth, knocking over pins
that equal the time of the day.
Children, follow those people. Thus giving us physical proof
that the Earth is rotating on an axis.
Go on. We'll catch up with you later.
This is our solar system,
consisting of nine known planets that revolve
around the sun, of which Earth is the third.
Scientists theorize that there may be
a tenth planet as yet undiscovered.
But... (HUSHING)
At this moment, man has only set foot on the moon.
But robot probes have explored Venus,
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn.
The phones haven't stopped ringing
since that object started falling to Earth.
I'm so glad you called. I was afraid you might be involved.
What have you been able to find out?
Every observatory in the world has spotted it.
Now, I checked with Caltech, and as best as they can determine,
it should come down in the next 12 hours.
How closely can they estimate its trajectory?
They project it will land somewhere in the Tri-State area.
Any word from Dr. Mortinson on the transmission?
None. He's been monitoring that special frequency as you asked.
But there's been nothing over the air waves.
That's strange, Troy. They should be using our distress channel.
We know the general vicinity where it's headed.
Once it touches down, we should be able to locate it.
You haven't even told me what it is.
There's speculation all over the media that it could be Russian.
No, it's not Russian, Jamie.
It's one of ours.
So we have regular reconnaissance
patrols monitoring Earth's corridors.
Just in case a Cylon ship manages to slip by.
(SIGHS)
Heavens. They're that close?
We've learned to be cautious, Jamie.
What happened to your patrol?
Well, the Viper broke radio contact
and hasn't returned from its mission.
The only thing that we can assume is that it had a malfunction
and drifted into Earth's orbit.
Thank heavens.
Our main concern is to get to the craft
and its crew before anybody else.
Wait,
you're going to New York? How?
We have a Viper.
No, you can't do that.
I had a visit this morning from the United States Air Force.
A Colonel Briggs.
Regarding us?
Yes, he's investigating you.
He suspects we're not of this world?
No, he didn't go that far.
One thing he's sure of is that he's going to find you.
Thank you for the warning, Jamie.
As big as it may seem, our solar system
is tiny compared to our galaxy.
The vast Milky Way,
where there are over 100 billion stars.
Actually, 114 billion.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, young man, that isn't what the scientists say,
but you do bring up an interesting point.
Each year, the number changes, as more and more are discovered.
You may notice some of the more familiar constellations
such as the Big Dipper.
That looks backwards.
That's when you're coming from the other side.
Oh.
Of these planets that surround these stars,
many could probably support carbon-based life.
Theories indicate these planets would
most likely be life-supportive,
even though there is no positive
evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Is she a frimp? (SHUSHING)
Yeah, but my point is those machines
of yours keep turning up on military radar.
You're gonna have to go to New York
by conventional means.
What are you gonna do with the children?
We were hoping you'd ask that.
(EXHALES)
Well, I'm sure they can spend a couple
of days at Billy's camp.
You call me if you need me.
Thank you, Jamie.
And I'll make the travel arrangements with the airlines.
A flight in one of your flying machines.
That should be great amusement.
WOMAN: (OVER PA) Now arriving at Gate 29, Trans Global flight 91 from New York.
Passengers holding tickets may check their baggage...
If you've checked your bags at the curb,
you can proceed directly to the boarding gate.
What flight are you on?
We're going to New York City. Nine M.
Nine M? We have a flight two.
9 a.m. That is Flight two. Are you ticketed?
We were told to mention pre-paid.
Pre-paid? I can take care of that for you. What are the names, please?
Jones and Smith.
Jones and Smith?
Those were the names that Jamie said to use.
Remember, there's a bulletin out on Troy and Dillon.
Good thinking. I just hope our images
aren't appearing in all these computers.
Yes, that could be difficult.
Which one is Mr. Jones?
He is.
There you go.
You can proceed right down this way
to Gate 43, through the scanner.
Scanner? You must not fly much.
Scanner. You know, metal detector, to prevent hijacking.
Oh, sure. Hijacking.
Right, high-jacking.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, have a nice flight.
(BEEPING)
The act of seizing a vehicle for illegal puposes.
I wonder what someone would do with
an aircraft once they seized it.
Strange place. It's going to take a lot of getting used to.
Troy, what about our lasers?
She said metal. They're carbon synthetic. We shouldn't have a problem.
WOMAN (ON PA): Mr. C. Bell please report to the baggage claim area.
Mr. C. Bell.
I'm sorry to be holding you up.
This is what happens when you have a baby.
WOMAN (ON PA): Passengers arriving...
Thank you, very much. Have a nice flight.
Tickets, please.
Smoking or non-smoking?
I beg your pardon?
Would you prefer smoking or non-smoking?
Which way does the plane run best?
That's cute.
Well, I guess if you're leaving it up
to me, you don't care to smoke.
Seats 14 B, C. You can go directly on board.
We're ready to close the flight.
Gate 43, right over there, okay?
Oh, you just made it.
Looks very comfortable.
Hi.
Row 14, seats B and C.
Hi. Hi.
Row 14, seats D and E. I'll take that for you, sir.
Thank you. Mmm-hmm.
WOMAN (ON PA): Welcome on board flight two.
For your comfort, the cabin will be pressurized.
Should we, for any reason, lose pressurization during the flight,
you will find oxygen masks automatically
dropping from the overhead compartment.
Simply place the mask over your nose and mouth
as demonstrated by your flight attendant and breathe normally.
I'm not used to flying with somebody else.
I hope these people are good.
...oxygen should become necessary...
Maybe they'll let me take the controls
for a while. What do you think?
I wouldn't even let you.
...be in their seats for take-off.
Why don't you study this guide to the city?
Would you like to buy earphones? Thank you.
All right, everyone. Remain in your seats and be calm.
Please do not move.
We are taking this airplane to Cuba.
Cuba. A country on an island in the West Indies south of Florida.
Capital, Havana.
Forget it. We don't have time to go there.
Easy.
We could get somebody hurt.
That oxygen device. It must drop on some kind of electrical impulse.
You, in the back.
Use the phone to make our demands be known to the cockpit,
or we will be forced to use violence.
(BEEPING)
What is this? What are you doing?
We didn't do it. It's automatic.
The plane must have lost pressurization.
If you don't go on oxygen, you'll pass out.
What's happening back here?
We got an indicator light that the oxygen masks dropped...
I thought you'd done it to trick the hijackers.
Hijackers?
Right there on the floor.
That one has a gun. Be careful.
What's the matter with them?
I don't know.
I do! Those two guys zapped them with a flashing light.
What's he talking about?
I don't know, he...
You know children, vivid imaginations.
They zapped them. I saw it!
We wanna talk to you when the plane lands at Kennedy.
All right, everybody, just relax. Everything's under control.
I want you to inform the Captain,
we want a priority clearance,
and have the FBI, meet the plane. You okay?
Maybe this Cuba would've worked out better.
No, we'll be fine.
Dr. Zee,
you must have heard that Recon Probe Delta has been located.
Yes. One of our squadrons found it
adrift and towed it in a short while ago.
The flight crew, Briton and Kanon,
both sustained wounds from their ordeal,
but they performed admirably as warriors.
Although they bring us distressing news.
Dr. Zee, Commander Adama, we tried to stop that Cylon ship,
but we didn't have a chance. It was incredible. The firepower and speed.
I don't think there's anything in the galaxy equal to it.
If it was not our Viper that we've been tracking toward Earth...
It is the Cylon vessel.
Then the Cylons will walk the Earth.
We can only hope Captain Troy and Lieutenant Dillon
arrive at the landing site in time to intercept them.
But they don't even know that they're
hurrying to rendezvous with the Cylons.
Do you realize it just took us nearly
five hours to fly a miniscule 3,000 miles?
That's only ten miles a minute.
You can fly to the planet Pluto in less time.
Pluto?
The lady at the observatory mentioned it.
The important thing is that we're on the eastern sea.
Plenty of time to intercept that ship.
WOMAN: (OVER PA) This is your stewardess.
We're caught up in a little heavy traffic over JFK.
We'll be circling around for a while to get our turn at the field.
Nothing to be concerned about.
We'll keep the beverage service open until we're cleared in.
It should be about 30 or 40 minutes' delay.
Forty minutes? Thank you very much for your patience.
We'll still be there in plenty of time.
Latest word, Colonel. She'll probably hit
around 9:00 Eastern Standard time.
BRIGGS: You got any better idea of an exact landing area?
JENSEN: You know better than that, Colonel.
NASA missed by an entire continent when Skylab came down.
You had better be a whole lot closer on this one.
That's entirely up to the hardware coming down.
If it holds together, I could put it
within a 200 or 300 mile radius.
But if it breaks up, forget it.
You'll be lucky if it doesn't knock you out of the sky.
That's what I like about you, Major. You're so encouraging.
Well, thanks for the update. I'll be standing by.
Think it's Canada all over again?
(SIGHS)
No. When that Russian satellite came down on Canada,
we already knew exactly what it was,
how long it had been up,
and what went wrong. No, this one is different.
Came into our atmosphere from... I don't know where.
DR. ZEE: Adama, we've examined the close range scans of fighter ship Delta
before it collided with the Cylon vessel, and I have some alarming news.
Since the time of our defeat, the Cylons have not been idle.
Not only have they developed new machines,
but they have evolved beyond our greatest fears.
In what way?
Consider this.
In 30 Earth years, it is possible
to create a totally new technology.
If they are so all-mighty powerful,
why don't they simply destroy us?
They wish to experiment with their new machines.
Using us as living targets.
ANDROMUS: We're slowly but inexorably being drawn
to orbit around that blue planet.
To land at our present velocity is to invite certain destruction.
We must exploit the increasing density
of the atmosphere surrounding this planet
in order to reduce our velocity.
The planet we are approaching has seven major land masses.
A radius of 6,378 kils and is 71 per cent covered with a blanket of H20.
Centurion, projection.
Given three atmospheric braking skips,
what is the anticipated landing zone?
Analysis of the planet we are approaching on scan.
ANDROMIDUS: The body has a central molten metal core
surrounded by a sea of molten rock.
The cool thin crust of hard granite.
The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide,
plus minor trace elements.
What will be the ship's skin temperature at maximum?
Two thousand degrees chronic.
WOMAN: (ON PA) Because of the problem on board earlier in our flight,
there will be FBI people boarding our plane
before anyone can disembark.
But it shouldn't take long.
You'll all be in the terminal in plenty
of time to get to those Halloween parties.
Hallow what?
Forget that. Look up FBI.
(BEEPING)
Uh-oh.
Law enforcement.
First magnitude. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
We can't afford to talk to them.
WOMAN (ON PA): We are now on approach to JFK...
Gentlemen, may I ask you to come to the
rear galley area as soon as we land?
The officials will wanna question you.
I suppose that's necessary.
You're too modest.
I'm sure there'll be an army of newsmen there. You're regular heroes.
How do we get into these messes?
How do we get out of them?
All right, she's in. Now we need a nice,
neat corridor right through here
when we bring them out, all right?
Can we get through here, please?
WOMAN (ON PA): Please stay seated until we have come to a complete stop.
Would you come with me, please?
Passengers continuing on have one hour before we take off.
We ask you that you please remain in the terminal area
and listen for your boarding call.
Passengers terminating at JFK may claim their baggage...
Just stay here until they come aboard.
Thank you for flying with us and we wish you a pleasant stay.
Uh, would it be possible for me to use the...
You want to comb your hair for the cameras?
Comb my hair! Yes! That's it.
Me, too.
And they say women are vain.
Go ahead.
You ready? Ready.
(BEEPING)
Here's my hand.
I got it. Stay right behind me.
The hijackers are in the upstairs lounge with our senior purser.
The two that subdued them are in the rear restroom.
Okay, you men go with the agents.
I'll wait down here for the two gentlemen in the restroom.
Officer!
I'm sorry, somebody pushed me.
Who?
Uh...
(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
Hey, somebody pushed me.
(BEEPING)
Not too bad.
Except that we're very late.
The white curb is for passenger loading and unloading only.
Troy? According to my scanner, the probe
is coming down 60 miles due north.
Hey, no luggage?
Luggage?
Head north. North to where?
Just north.
No luggage, no destination.
You sure you guys got enough bread to pay for this ride?
No, but we have money. (LAUGHS)
Let's see it.
North it is.
CYLON: We are encountering signals from the planet below.
There are apparently life forms on this planet.
Perhaps it is a life form advanced enough to help us repair our ship.
ANDROMUS: Andromidus.
ANDROMIDUS: I see it, but I do not understand.
Centurions, home in on the largest communication center.
And compute its location from our expected point of impact.
As you will.
We have done what no Cylon before us has been able to do.
We have found the lost human civilization.
Projection. Chances of ship's survival.
ANDROMIDUS: Less than 3%.
Survivability of the Cylon units within the ship.
Centurion survival, unlikely.
Advanced forms may reach planet's surface in functional state.
Counting down to impact.
All crewmen prepare.
Twenty, 19, 18, 17...
(PHONE BEEPS)
Briggs.
She's going in, about 60 miles north of New York City.
Okay, we're on our way.
...seven, six, five, four,
three, two, one.
Hey, Leroy.
I see it, but what is it?
I don't know, let's call headquarters
for help and have it checked out.
(SIREN WAILING)
Headquarters, headquarters. Car Seven on I-5.
Can you go any faster?
Faster? To where?
North.
(SIREN APPROACHING)
Would you be interested in making some more money
to follow those vehicles as fast as you can?
Long as you want to head towards the law, I'm your man.
Centurions, lam trapped.
Centurions?
I command you, rise.
Centurions.
I command you.
I am functioning.
Centurion Nine.
By your command.
What is your priority?
To protect you.
I, Andromus, command you.
Rise.
Move, Centurion.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(CHAINSAW BUZZING)
Fire roads are to be kept clear.
We could lose that whole mountain.
Let's get it. Come on.
Let's get up that hill. Come On.
Turn here.
Turn here? There's no road here.
Then stop.
There goes a couple of odd fellows.
Lift, Centurion. Lift.
Oh, thank you, my friend.
Now, we must find a way out.
I must set off the automatic detonator.
We must keep the humans from utilizing our advanced technology.
(WHIRRING)
Distress beacon.
We must hurry, Centurion. We have only microns.
Do you realize what this means, Centuri?
We have no way back and we are alone.
Two against a world of millions.
I will protect you. That is my first order.
According to their transmissions, we have a great advantage.
These people do not know about us.
They do not know about the Galactic war.
After our ship self-destructs, there will be no trace of our presence,
and I will be able to move freely among
Earth people without fear of detection.
We will destroy all humans.
Yes, Centuri, but I blend with the populace.
I am created in man's image.
I'm as agile as they are.
I appear human.
So I may go wherever necessary
to study their transmission centers
so that we may use our distress beacon to signal our people.
I will protect you.
I know you mean well, Centuri, but your form does not blend.
My first order is to protect.
What is it, Centuri?
I perceive life forms approaching.
Then we must go.
Anyone who comes near the ship will be destroyed.
It's not one of ours.
Troy, it's Cylon.
Scan the area for electronic tracks.
Where are you going? Are you crazy?
Dillon?
Troy, it looks human.
TROY: No, it's Cylon.
Let's get him out of here.
The ship's about to detonate. Let's go!
You all right? Yeah.
I don't believe it, how could they get out of there alive?
Paramedics over here!
You guys weren't in that crash?
I think they may be in a little bit of shock.
Get those hoses going!
How anybody could've got out of that crash alive, I'll never know.
Looks like we're not the only ones following this crash.
L just got a call from the chief.
He wants the whole area sealed off.
I'll tell you what. Check that crash site.
And if it was drugs, let's get all the credit we can.
You guys wanna tell me about it?
I don't think this is the time to be talking.
But you seem to be okay. Let's have a statement.
We just got here.
I know you just got here. I can see that.
But, where'd you take off from?
Take off?
Your plane came down,
which means it had to take off from someplace, right?
That's not our ship... Plane. We just arrived.
From where?
A taxi dropped us off on the road back there.
A taxi dropped you off. When?
Just after the crash.
Absolutely nothing left of that plane.
I mean nothing. Not even a mark.
It's gonna be tough checking their flight plan.
There won't be a flight plan.
These boys are on unscheduled business. That I promise you.
Now, you watch them, and watch them close.
Sure.
Look, is there some place where we could go?
To make a statement.
Sure. Max!
Yeah.
Boys wanna come clean.
Okay, let's hear it.
Right this way.
But first, let's check you guys out.
Up against the car. Feet spread. Now.
Spread your legs. That's it. Come on.
Hey Leroy, what in the world is this?
I don't know. Some kind of cigarette lighter?
Holy...
Troy, maybe telling them about the Cylons would have been better.
You heard them. They think we're criminals.
What would they have thought of a story of Cylon invaders?
They'd have locked us up.
Turn on your scanner to the Cylon distress frequency.
(SCANNER BEEPING)
Distress code?
That's why Dr. Mortinson couldn't
find what we told him to look for.
Troy, we were looking for one of our signals.
If that distress call reaches the Cylon base ship...
It's too weak. Even the Galactica couldn't pick it up.
They've got some kind of transmitting device.
They must think they can use it
to reach the Cylon empire. But how?
Earth has a lot of powerful transmitters.
They must think that they can alter one
to transmit directly into space.
They were monitoring Earth's strongest signals on their way down.
They may know exactly where to go.
They don't have that much of a lead on us.
Besides, we have surface transportation.
Troy, that's what I like about you.
We're up against a brand-new Cylon we know nothing about,
and you think we have the advantage.
We do. This is their first time on Earth. Remember what that was like?
(CHUCKLES)
Our topography scans served us well, Centuri.
I'm sure that we've landed within 1,000 metrons
of the primary communication center.
We should be able to walk there
within a single period of darkness followed by light.
WOLFMAN JACK: (OVER RADIO) That'll be the day!
My, my, this is the night, this is Halloween night
with Wolfman Jack just laying down the sounds...
Stop the car! Stop the car!
(TIRES SCREECH)
What? What happened?
That costume, it's incredible.
Costume? Are you out of your mind?
You just gave me a heart attack.
Those guys must have broken down somewhere.
Hey, you want a lift?
Shirley.
SHIRLEY: Come on, we'll give you a lift to town.
(LAUGHS)
I'm not really a vampire.
I have on a costume, just like you. We're going to a party.
Wow.
Anybody who'd go to the trouble to make
a costume like that has got to be a good guy.
It's Halloween, right? Everybody has a blast tonight. Come on!
Shirley, maybe these people are waiting for a tow...
Are you kidding? Out here? Where would they find a phone?
You better get in here, in front with me and Norman.
I think your friend takes up the whole backseat.
Come on.
He's a big one, isn't he?
Gotta be hot in that getup.
Troy, the signal is slightly weaker.
They must be moving away from us in some kind of vehicle.
We're almost back to the main artery. Then we can go faster.
We are grateful for your assistance.
Sure. So where are you heading?
Towards the large population center.
You even talk like you look.
I wish that Mildred and Arnie could see these two.
Shirley, no.
Norman. Have fun.
I mean, everybody goes to two or three parties on Halloween.
I'll tell you one thing. You'd have a terrific time.
Everybody's going to be there. Even Wolfman.
Wolfman?
WOLFMAN JACK (ON RADIO): We're gonna get down...
There it is.
All you part-time vampires,
we're gonna get down in the Disco Inferno.
(HOWLING)
(MUSIC PLAYING) (SIGHS)
I'm being terribly rude. I'm Shirley,
and this is my husband, Norman.
He's general manager of the station we're listening to.
Station?
Hundred and fifty thousand watts.
On a good night, they can hear us in the next galaxy.
Really?
FEMALE POLICE OFFICER: (OVER RADIO) Attention all units, Code 10-16.
Stolen police vehicle in area of Hudson River Parkway.
Unit Number 1711. All units report any contact and be advised,
two men, Caucasian, reported driving vehicle,
are armed and considered extremely dangerous.
Troy?
Yes?
There goes our advantage. We're in trouble.
(GIGGLES)
I guess they're humoring us.
If they don't know about the radio station,
then they must be classical buffs.
In which case, they won't be very impressed meeting Wolfman Jack.
On the contrary,
I think Centuri and I would be delighted to meet this Wolfman Jack.
And I would like to hear all about your radio station.
Oh, well, then it's settled!
I can't wait to see Arnie and Mildred's
faces when we walk in with these two.
Me, neither.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIRENS WAILING)
Troy?
I see them.
We have the fugitive police car in sight.
We're in pursuit on West 12th Street, heading toward Westside Drive.
We're gonna have to make a choice.
If we stop, we'll lose time.
It's the one thing we can't afford to lose
with those two Cylons ahead of us.
Maybe if we tell somebody what's going on, here on Earth.
Who'd believe us? The Air Force?
That wouldn't do any good.
All those Cylons need to do is get control
of a transmitter for just a few minutes.
Amazing.
Yes. I always feel the same way
whenever I come into Manhattan.
Where exactly is this party you fellows are going to?
Oh, you needn't be concerned about us.
Aren't they cute?
Mildred and Arnie are just gonna love this.
Yeah, well, I hope they feel the same way after Arnie forces
a couple of his famous meatballs down their throat.
Now, Norman, don't get started on those meatballs again this year.
They are to the digestive tract
what Vida Blue is to the San Francisco Giants. A stopper.
Norman, please. You're gonna frighten these guys.
Good, if they had any sense, they'd go to their own party.
The only reason I'm going to Arnie's myself
is because he is the best program director in radio.
And as for that sister of his,
she's so desperate for a husband,
she once proposed to a mugger in Central Park.
Oh, she did not. You're terrible.
NORMAN: We'll see.
The only thing I can tell you fellows, to be on guard.
Between Arnie's food and his sister's romantic malnutrition,
you could be in for the night of your life.
You don't need to be concerned.
We're quite capable of defending ourselves. Right, Centuri?
By your command.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
