Cut to the chase, Captain.
How long before you launch
the SAR? Come on, Dee,
these are all marked priority.
Sorry, sir.
That's how they came in.
l'm cannibalizing
305 for parts.
Should be up in the air in,
l don't know, 90 minutes.
90 minutes?
We got men down
on that frakking planet!
Get your head in the game.
You do your job
or go back to the brig.
Are all the members of
the Quorum in the Ward Room?
All 1 2, sir.
Don't suppose you want
to do this for me?
Never was much
at public speaking, sir.
So why are we here?
That's what l want to know.
What exactly is going on?
We have been cooped up in--
Laura Roslin suborned
mutiny and sedition
aboard this ship.
She caused a key
military asset to be
lost at a critical moment.
The Commander felt
he had no choice
but to remove her from power.
You've said that.
Several times.
Well, l--
You don't seem
to be listening, Colonel.
lt does not matter
what Adama felt, he had
absolutely no authority--
Adama knew exactly
what he was doing.
He was paving the way
to declare martial law...
and usher in
a military dictatorship.
lsn't that right, Colonel?
(Tigh)
l can't speak
for the Commander.
He's still in surgery.
Well, you seem to be
giving the orders
around here...
so what exactly
are you planning to do?
Are you
declaring martial law?
Absolutely not.
l know for a fact
that the old man hated
the very idea of martial law.
He believed in
freedom and democracy,
and all that good stuff.
Well, since this
is still a democracy
and ''all that good stuff''...
l move that the Quorum
demand immediate access
to President Roslin.
Excellent. l second it.
(Porter)
All those in favor?
(all)
Aye.
(Zarek)
Aye.
Motion carries.
Colonel, we demand
immediate access to
the President.
l will take your ''demand''
under advisement.
(Ellen)
Madam President.
...anything that impedes
that understanding....
Madam President?
l have to consider--
Laura?
Laura?
Hello.
Hi.
Are you all right?
l just came down to see
if there was anything
l could do for you.
Anything l can get you?
l would like to have a
conversation with my attorney.
Could you arrange that?
Yeah, sure, right.
Laura,
do you know where you are?
l'm in jail.
What's my name?
Have we met?
l'm sorry. Excuse me.
lt's just the ringing.
Excuse me.
The ringing?
Right.
Okay, then. Take care.
(groaning)
(metal clangs)
Oh, my gods.
Ellen Tigh.
Ellen?
Ellen.
Lords of Kobol....
(Crashdown)
The launcher looks like
a simple point and shoot...
no built-in guidance.
(Tyrol)
Ordnance appear to be standard
ship-to-ship missiles.
They're modifying it
for atmospheric flight.
(Cally)
One Cylon Centurion
walks the perimeter...
stopping at
regular intervals.
(Baltar)
The dradis dish
that controls the missiles...
is on a 4.5 kG wavelength,
judging by the diameter.
lt's guarded by
two Centurions, l think.
Sorry, Doc,
did you say it was
guarded by two Centurions?
Yes, l did.
Okay. ls the dradis
guarded continuously
or intermittently?
l saw two Centurions,
through the field glasses,
continuously for five minutes.
ln that time
they didn't leave their post.
So there's three toasters
near the launcher,
two more out by the dish.
That's a lot of Cylons.
You ever handle a weapon?
Who, me? No.
l'm not a soldier, Crashdown.
l'll try to give you
the most simple assignment...
but l'm going to
need every man.
(Tyrol)
You're not suggesting
we attack the Cylons?
We owe it to Socinus and Tarn
to take those frakkers out
before they kill anyone else.
We have equal numbers.
We have the element
of surprise.
Therefore we have
the initiative.
We can attack at a time
and place of our choosing.
El-tee, a word in private.
He's crazy.
l'm not trained
for this kind of thing.
l've never fired
a gun in my life.
l haven't fired one
since Basic.
You?
l just joined to pay
for dental school.
Basic Ground Assault
was a long time ago
