Transcript by: Polaris

Kat: Previously on Battlestar Galactica...

Galactica: Sickbay

Kat: I was burnt out. I started taking stims.

Galactica: Deck

Starbuck: What's this? Stims. And by the look of her, she's been taking 'em by the handful.
Kat: No! Let go!

Galactica: Briefing Room

Kat: You know, coming in late for a briefing cause you're hung over, that's bad enough. But when you back out of a mission…
Starbuck: See, unlike you, I don't take a bunch of pills and then climb in my cockpit so wired that I can't land the frakkin' ship.
Kat: Starbuck, you're an embarrassment.

Galactica: Adama's Quarters

Adama: I need you back in the CIC. Just ain't the same without you in there intimidating the inmates.
Tigh: Oh, I'm not...

Basestar: Corridor

Baltar: There are only 12 Cylon models, but in the entire occupation on New Caprica I only saw seven. Who are the final five?
Caprica: I can't talk about that.

Basestar: Hybrid Chamber

Baltar: do you have any idea what it's talking about?
Caprica: most Cylons think the conscious mind of the Hybrid has simply gone mad, and the vocalizations we hear are meaningless.
Baltar: But not everyone thinks that.

Basestar: Corridor

Biers: You will delete the order from your logs… Execute.

Basestar: Resurrection Chamber

Three: It's okay, it's okay.
Biers: There's something beautiful -- miraculous -- between life and death.

TEASER

(Space - Sharon's Raptor)

(She is flying through the star cluster)

(Galactica - CIC/Colonial One)

Roslin(Wireless): You mean there's no food to be salvaged. What about the good food we stored before we started inadvertently turning out the contaminated stuff?
Adama: The newly processed bad food went into the depleted storage system. Everything's tainted.
Cottle: But Sharon's out finding all this algae for us to process. It's tough to choke down, but it's almost pure protein.
Roslin(Wireless): What if Sharon comes back and reports there's no clear passage to this planet?
Adama: Then the question is Doc, how long can we survive?
Cottle: With the rations we've been on? I'd say seven to ten days.
Roslin(Wireless): When is she due back?
Helo: She was due three hours ago. The radiation levels are high but, she's strong. And she's uh. She'll be here any moment.

(Space - Sharon's Raptor)

(Sharon continues to navigate the star cluster)

(Galactica - Officer's Rack)

(The pilots are gathering up morsels of food to split)

Kat: No, I'm sorry guys I don't have anything.
Kara: To share.
Kat: I told you starbuck, I don't have anything. Get off my back.
Kara: Yeah I saw a protein bar in your cot.
Kat: I gave it to Cottle.
Kara: Right. Right after I gave him head.
Kat: Oh so what now I'm a liar?
Kara: Oh I don't know. If the shoe fits, maybe.
Lee: Alright, alright can it! Kat get down here. Alright for frak's sake everybody eat. We're getting paranoid over this hunger.

(They eat. They even scoop up the crumbs)

(Space - Sharon's Raptor)

(The radiation is getting to Sharon as she continues through the star cluster)

(Baltar's Basestar)

Baltar: Somewhere to be, D'Anna?
D'Anna: Shh! Don't wake Caprica. Look, I'd love to hang around with you two all day but uh, I've got things to do.
Baltar: I'll never understand what you all do all day long. Living on this thing like fleas on a cat. Where do you suppose she takes herself off to then?
CapSix: You're not the only one asking that.
Baltar: I'm not? What do you mean?
CapSix: She's been doing things.
Baltar: Doing things? What things?

(Galactica - Hanger Deck)

(Sharon returns)

Sharon: There's a way through the star cluster. And I found the planet on the other side. I skimmed it. I took photos. There's huge swaths of algae, just like we thought.
Helo: It's black.
Lee: She's a Cylon. She can handle a radiation dose that big.
Helo: We think. Someone call Cottle!
Sharon: I'm fine.
Adama: Maybe you are, but a human might not be able to make it.
Lee: So then how do we get tens of thousands of humans through there?

(Galactica - CIC)

Sharon: So we can make it through in two jumps,. with a stop right there.
Helo: There no solution with a single jump?
Sharon: No, the cluster's too big, and it's too big to go around too.
Lee: But the civvie ships aren't shielded enough to jump in the middle of all that radiation. I would say eighty percent of the people on board would die.
Roslin: Can we send Galactica for food?
Helo: And put her where?
Roslin: What do you mean?
Gaeta: It would take dozens of return trips. Each time we'd leave the fleet vulnerable to attack. We just can't bring the food to the people.
Roslin: What if we bring the people to the food? Put the people on Galactica, send the civilian ships with skeleton crews, give them radiation meds?
Lee: Except that the radiation would fry the civvie ship's nav systems. They wouldn't be able to see squat on DRADIS, there wouldn't be a way to calculate a jump out.
Sharon: It's worse than that. Once you jump in, the light is so blinding you begin to drift and before you can get your bearings, you're over there.
Lee: No visual contacts, the instruments blinded by radiation, they'd get lost, they'd burnt up. Pilot ship!
Adama: We pair a Raptor with each civilian ship.
Lee: Raptor navigation systems are hardened against nuclear strikes. They could handle the radiation.
Adama: Each Raptor could lead a civilian ship through the cluster. Then they both jump out together. The question is, how many jumps will it take?

(Galactica - Pilot's Ready Room)

Lee: Five round trips. You heard. Five round trips. On our outbound jumps we'll each be responsible for relaying jump coordinates to our own specific civilian ship. Nailing them to their jump points and ensuring they don't drift off.
Racetrack: Sir, are we going to get fed when we get there?
Lee: Eventually, yes. But only after we find the algae and get it processed. The truth is that the nausea from the radiation exposure will take care of our appetites. You'll all be issued with radiation badges to track our exposure. White, like this you're okay. As your exposure increases it'll darken. If it approaches this, then you'll be pulled from duty. Keep checking your badges. It is every pilots own responsibility to monitor their own badge. Starbuck.
Kara: Remember, we're all flying solo on this mission. So that means there'll be nobody there to bitch slap you if you start to get tired or start seeing little toasters on your wing. We'll be issuing stims, so use them.
Kat: What are you crazy? We can't use stims!
Lee: Kat, do you have a problem?
Kat: Stims amp up your metabolism! We've got nothing to burn. If you put stims in our system we'll be flying into the sides of the ships.
Pilot: Is that true they'll mess us up?
Kara: You used to like the stims, Kat.
Lee: Alright, personal discretion on the stims. We're taking the first load of civilians on board as we speak. That's it. Skids up in four hours.

(Galactica - Hanger Deck)

(Civilians are filing into the ship)

Dee: There is no food here. There are no rations anywhere on this ship. If someone told you there was food they were lying. If you leave this area, force will be used. Once we get through the star cluster, you will all be returned to your designated ships.

(Galactica - Hallway)

Enzo: Sasha!
Kat: My name isn't Sasha. My name is Captain Louanne Katraine - you understand me? Sasha and you were a lifetime ago.
Enzo: Right, right because you've got this now. No more hanging with the sinners, huh?
Kat: Stay away from me, do you understand me?
Enzo: Do they even know who you really are?

(Baltar's Basestar)

Baltar: Oh, fancy bumping into you here. Can you believe I'm lost again? I'll never find my way around this place. Where have you been?
Three: I've been talking with Simon about our next move towards Earth, there's some debate about it apparently.
Baltar: Of course if I spoke to the relevant Simon he'd actually ascertain you were at this meeting?
Three: Beg pardon?
Baltar: I've heard you've been going off by yourself, doing things.
Three: Really, now who would tell you anything about my business?
Baltar: So it's true?
Three: Caprica?
Baltar: Did you know you have some dried goo in your hair? That can happen when you resurrect. You know, now I'm beginning to understand what you've been doing with yourself all these afternoons.
Three: Do you have any idea what you are accusing me of?
Baltar: Yes, intentionally killing yourself over and over so you can download over and over. But death's just a revolving door, isn't it?

(Galactica - Hallway)

Kat: Come here! What do you want!
Enzo: Take it down a notch, baby. Relax, I'm not looking for a business partner.
Kat: Look, I told you to stay the frak away from me.
Enzo: Yeah cause if they find out who you really are they'll kick you out of the service, or worse. Yeah you think I want that? I don't want that, cause if that happens, who's going to feed me? Oh come on you're getting three squares you think I don't know that?
Kat: We don't. And I don't have anything stashed, Enzo.
Enzo: Yeah sure you don't. Oh we go back baby. Since when it is a crime to take care of your own? Remember I know who you are. And I know how to make you happy.
Kat: Get your hands off of me.

(Galactica - Hallway outside CIC)

(Tigh walks towards CIC)

Officer: Colonel.

(Galactica - CIC)

Adama: Go ahead.

(He sees Tigh standing outside the door - Tigh enters)

Gaeta: Check it out.

(The CIC begins to applaud "welcome back sir, good to see you." Gaeta is not happy.)

Tigh: Enough! Don't you people have jobs to do!
Adama: Welcome back Colonel.
Tigh: Admiral.
Hoshi: Apollo, Galactica, launch Raptors on your orders.

(Space)

Lee: Shepherds, find your sheep. Stay close, and never let them go. These crews are counting on us to guide them through.
Kara: Apollo, Starbuck. On station.
Kat: I've got visual on Chiron.
Hot Dog: Hot Dog, Adriatic in sight.
Lee: Okay, when you jump into the cluster you will be disoriented. Take it one step at a time. Find your sheep, work the jump calculations and get them out. Remember we do not stay beyond our radiation dose limit.

(Galactica - CIC)

Hoshi: Apollo reports pilots in position, Sir.
Adama: Initiate jump on his command. Galactica will follow.
Gaeta: Aye aye, Sir.

(Space)

Lee: Raptors, Apollo. We jump on my mark. Three, two, one, mark.

(Space - Star cluster)

Lee: Whoa! What is this, I can't see anything!
Kara: Frak!
Kat: Ah, gotcha!
Lee: Kat you got yours?
Kat: Affirmative, Apollo. Only got eyes for the Chiron. Relaying coordinates.
Lee: Squadron, Apollo, I have Theta Sita. Relaying jump coordinates to her right now.
Kara: Apollo, Starbuck. I've got mine. Frak! I'm just barely holding on here.
Hot Dog: I've lost mine! Anyone seen Adriatic? She has lost her jump coordinates.
Lee: Who's that, Hot Dog? Negative there, negative Hot Dog, Negative on the Adriatic.
Helo: Hot dog, Hot dog, just ease up on the control, man. Ease up on the stick. This is not a Viper. It's a Raptor, it's gonna shut down!
Hot Dog: Frak it! Frak it!

(Galactica - CIC)

Adama: Apollo, Galactica actual. You've reached your radiation dose limit. You've got to jump. Count us down.

(Space)

Lee: Roger that, Galactica.
Hot Dog: No, hold on! Apollo, please wait!
Lee: Hot Dog, listen to me, we have to get out of here now!
Hot Dog: I can find them! I can find them! Hold on!
Lee: Sorry, Starbuck, jump on my mark! With or without your ship! One, Two, Three, mark!
Hot Dog: Sir, please! Wait! We can't leave without them! Frak! Frak!

(Galactica - CIC)

Gaeta: Jump complete. DRADIS is back online. Ship reports moderate hull damage.

(Space)

Lee: Galactica, Apollo. First trip complete. Raptors, land your birds and prepare to jump back for the second group of civilians.

(Galactica - CIC)

Gaeta: We lost the Adriatic.
Tigh: It's only our first jump.
Adama: Yes it is.

(Space - Star Cluster)

Screencap: Star Cluster, Outbound trip 4.

Kat: Carina, Kat! Report your location!
Lee: Kat, Apollo. Do you have the Carina?
Kat: Negative! Radiation's pissing on my nav! I found her! No, Frak!
Lee: Kat, Kat! Report!
Kat: Godsdammit!
Lee: All right Kat! Apollo, times up! We are jumping on mark, three, two, one, mark!
Kat: Godsdammit, Carina! I lost her. I lost her.

(Galactica - Hanger Deck)

(After the last trip, the radiation is getting to the pilots. Hot Dog gets out of his Raptor and vomits. Kat stares at her Raptor)

Lee: Alright, we managed to get another eight ships through. But we still lost one. We've gotta get better at tracking our sheep! Quicker reaction times out of the jumps. Racetrack, don't be calling out coordinates to the wrong ship.
Racetrack: I got mixed up.
Lee: Keep checking your instruments and recheck them.
Kat: The instruments are crap.
Lee: Alright, that concludes outbound four. This is return four. One to go. Try to get some rest.

(Galactica - Adama's Quarters)

Tigh: This is the report from the dr. A hundred marines too weak to work. Two hundred more ready to drop.
Adama: It's gonna slow down the harvest.
Tigh: The last batch of passengers kicked up some trouble. You get these people to the other side, they think there's a diner and chef waiting to take their order.
Adama: When they gonna learn they gotta process the thing first, for frak's sake.
Tigh: Try telling that to a bunch of empty stomachs.
Adama: I hear they're still eating paper, is that true?
Tigh: No, paper shortage.

(Both have a nice long laugh at the thought of that)

Adama: Not a good sign.
Tigh: No, Sir!

(Baltar's Basestar)

Baltar: So while you resurrect, you see the faces of the final five? The one's that no one's seen?
Three: Why do you want to know about them?
Baltar: I could be a Cylon. I would stop being a traitor to one set of people, and be a hero to another. And have a place to belong. You would help me understand my destiny. Have you seen my face?
Three: Your face!
Baltar: Yes, my face!
Three: Can't remember. Been trying to get it all down on paper while it's fresh in my mind, but nothing much comes out. It's rubbish. I don't remember.
Baltar: Cylon, humans, we're all just trying to discover who we are. Aren't we?

(Galactica - Hallway)

(Starbuck approaches Enzo)

Kara: Hey Enzo.
Enzo: Yeah?

(Galactica - Hallway)

Kat: I took the name Louanne Katraine from a girl who died two days before the attack on Caprica. Got me through the background checks.
Kara: Yeah, times were rough, keep goin.
Kat: I was a drug runner. Enzo was my supplier. What do you want, we were truckers okay? We just moved stuff.
Kara: People. You see, some people think that that's the way that the Cylons infiltrated Caprica. They seeded themselves throughout the outer colonies and then they used criminals to get them into the capital. Anyone who's found guilty of helping the Cylons is considered a traitor.
Kat: We didn't carry Cylons.
Kara: How do you know?
Kat: Because nobody knew that they looked like us.
Kara: Then how do you know you didn't! How do you know?
Kat: You think I'm a traitor? You think I'm a traitor?
Kara: No. I don't think you're a traitor. You're a smart young woman. That's what the old man said. You're just not smart enough to accept who you are. You see you lied your way into the company of good people.
Kat: Starbuck don't tell the Admiral please? Please don't or I'll..
Kara: Or what?
Kat: Starbuck, please just let me tell him myself. Please just let me. Can you do that?
Kara: Gods.

(Baltar's Basestar)

The Hybrid: One degree angle nominal seascape portrait of the woman child cavern of the soul under pressure heat ratio ides of evolution have buried their fears.
Baltar: So this is where you got the idea to start intentionally downloading. Right, so let's see what we can find out.
Three: Gaius, what do you think you're doing? Don't touch it!
The Hybrid: Intelligence! A mind that burns like a fire.
Baltar: Yes I'm here.
The Hybrid: Find the hand that lies in the shadow of the light. In the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow.
Three: You alright? It just speaks nonsense, doesn't it?
Baltar: I don't think anything it says is nonsense. The husband of the eye. The eye of the - Hera? Hera is sometimes referred to as cow-eyed Hera. And the husband of Hera is…
Three: Is Jupiter. The eye of Jupiter. That's written about in the ancient texts. My God, could there be a connection between their Gods and ours? What does it mean?
Baltar: It's a location, a planet hidden in the shadow of light, probably a cluster of stars, that'll lead us to the eye of Jupiter. And to the hand, hidden in the shadow of light. Probably some type of artifact. As in five. Five faces. Now all we have to do is find the right planet. The right star cluster.

(Galactica - Officer's Rack)

(Kat's hair is falling out. In her head repeats Kara's: "accept who you are")

(Galactica - Hallway)

Enzo: Yeah, remember me?
Kat: Yeah. Yeah I remember you. Thieving bastard. You ruin everything I've got. Come here.

(They have sex)

(Kat goes to the lockers and exchanges her black radiation detector with Helo's. She boards her Raptor and prepares for another trip)

(Space - Star Cluster)

Screencap: Star Cluster. Outbound trip 5.

Kat: Faru Sadin, report your location!
Lee: Kat, you got Faru Sadin? Kat, you got Faru Sadin? Kat? Kat! Report!
Kat: Negative.
Lee: Kat?
Kat: Frak! I lost the Faru Sadin!

(Galactica - CIC)

Dee: Sir, escalating damage reports ship wide. Engineers are reporting a cascade of pressure failure.
Tigh: Jump spot's become unstable. We gotta get outta here.
Adama: Open line.
Hoshi: Aye, Sir. Channel open.
Adama: Apollo, Galactica actual. Jump all, repeat, jump all!

(Space - Star cluster)

Lee: Alright, Admiral's calling it. Everyone jump on my mark.
Kat: I'm not losing another one.
Lee: Three, two, one, mark!

(At the Algae planet)

Kara: Apollo, Starbuck. I don't see Kat.

(Galactica - CIC)

Adama: Report!
Hoshi: We're missing Faru Sadin. And one Raptor.
Gaeta: It's Kat. She must have missed the order. She's still out there.
Adama: Damn.

(Space - Star Cluster)

Kat: Faru Sadin, this is Kat! Report your location. Frak!

(her badge is now totally black)

(Galactica - CIC)

Tigh: Come on kid, come on home.

(blank DRADIS sweeps. Finally, contact)

Hoshi: It's them! She brought em home.

(Space)

Kat: Galactica, Kat. Mission accomplished.

(Galactica - Hanger Deck)

(Kat gets out of her Raptor while her fellow pilots cheer her bravery. She puts her hands in the air and falls over)

(Galactica - Sick bay)

Kara: They said you wanted to see me.
Kat: Yeah. I don't think we should end the way we ended.
Kara: Listen, um. Everybody is, everybody is stuck with the things that they're not proud of. That uh, that thing about good people, I didn't mean that.
Kat: Yeah I know.
Kara: Here. Take these, they're sleeping pills. Enough. So um take um if you want.
Kat: Thank you.
Kara: I've gotta go.
Kat: Admiral I know, I'm sorry.
Adama: I'm not here to lecture. I'm letting you know about a promotion. I'm making you CAG again.
Kat: Sir, you know I'm not getting out of here right?
Adama: You earned it. What you did was harder than facing a bullet. And you did it without putting one other soul in harms way. Don't know if I could have done that. I wish there was something more I could give you.
Kat: No it's good. I'd like to be CAG very much. Thank you. Sir, there's, there's a thing a reason why you might not want to do this. Kara knows what it is, but I wanted to tell you myself.
Adama: I don't need to know anything other than what I already know. When you were CAG you protected your people, made them feel safe enough to be brave. What you were going to say, does it change that?
Kat: Are you staying?
Adama: Oh I'm staying. I love the sickbay, in a way. Reminds me of where my son Zak was born. Caroline was so happy. She was convinced both times that she was havin a girl. So it was a surprise at the end.
Kat: Did you want a girl too?
Adama: Yeah, three's a good round number.

(Galactica - Pilot's Ready Room)

(Adama places Kat's name at the top of the rank chart)

(Galactica - Memorial Hall)

(Starbuck pins Kat's picture below Kassie's ("Scar"), touching it tenderly, and watches it for awhile. Lee approaches and stands well back as she cries, looking up at the photo and then away.)
