cycle.
Oh, change of plans, boys.
lnstead of getting
some rack time...
l'm gonna take a minute
to do the Lieutenant's job
for her.
(man)
Yes, sir.
After you.
Thank you.
Okay, make it look good,
but not too good.
(gasping)
Hold it!
Private, do you know
who l am?
Good. You and l
have something in common.
We each took an oath
to protect and defend
the Articles of Colonization.
Those Articles
are under attack...
as is our entire
democratic way of life.
Now, my duty
won't let me stand here
and allow that to happen.
So l intend to go through
that hatch
and get off this ship.
Damn it. They should
be here by now.
You can either stand aside
or you can shoot me.
You'll have to decide
where your duty lies.
Madam President....
Madam President,
this way.
Oh, Billy....
Madam President...
l'm not getting
on that ship with you.
What?
l understand
what you're trying to do.
But it's gonna
divide the fleet.
At the very best, it'll create
an insurgency against Adama
and at the worst, a civil war.
Taking part in that
is a line that l won't cross.
(Apollo)
We do not have a lot of time.
l wish you well.
Dustoff two-seven,
Checkers green...
ready for launch
on medical mission.
Request clearance.
Good to see you. You okay?
l think so. My feet barely
touched the ground
getting here.
l know what you mean.
(man on radio)
Dustoff two-seven, Standard
port three departure approved.
Cleared for launch.
Standard port three, wilco.
Sir, Cpl. Venner reports
the former President's
missing.
Missing?
Two men down. Cell's empty.
Damn it.
Alert security.
Set Condition Two.
No one on or off the ship.
(alarm blaring)
Attention.
Set Condition Two
throughout the ship.
Repeat.
Set Condition Two
throughout the ship.
Sir, flight log records
a Raptor departed ship
two minutes ago...
with Doc Cottle
on a medical emergency.
Medical? Confirm that.
Dradis has their transponder
bearing 2-8-7 carom 0-0-3.
Range 2-7.
Get the CAP on the horn
and have them intercept.
And get Captain Adama
out of the brig.
Sir, Doctor Cottle
is still onboard.
He says he was forced
to request the Raptor
at gunpoint by Apollo.
Son-of-a-bitch.
Dee, put me through
to that Raptor.
(Gaeta)
CAP has visual on the target.
Turn that ship around, Apollo,
or l'll order the CAP
to shoot you down.
(Apollo)
We're not turning back.
l'll do it.
And don't think l won't
just because
you're the old man's son.
Then do what you have to do,
Galactica.
Apollo out.
Fire across their bow.
Hotdog, Galactica.
Fire across their bow.
Acknowledge.
Wilco, Galactica.
Hotdog reports
they're not
turning around, sir.
Where are they now?
Dradis shows them
approaching Cloud Nine.
(Gaeta)
Sir, if they dock,
we may lose them.
Cloud Nine is one of the
busiest transport hubs
in the fleet.
Shuttles are coming
and going constantly.
lf they board one
and take off, it'll be before
we can shut down air traffic.
Galactica, Hotdog.
Request instructions.
Galactica, Hotdog.
I need further instructions.
Do I fire or not?
Dee, tell Hotdog
to hold his fire.
Repeat, weapons hold.
Do not fire.
Hotdog, Galactica.
Weapons hold.
Repeat, do not fire.
(people murmuring)
They couldn't have done it
on their own.
Anybody notice off-log calls?
Scrambled communications?
No, sir. Nothing.
Well, we're home free
for now.
(Zarek)
Good to see you,
Madam President.
Captain Apollo...
what is Mr. Zarek
doing here?
Once Tigh gets over
his initial shock, he'll send
troops out to search for us.
lf we're going to make it
we have to keep on the move.
l figured Mr. Zarek here
is the only one
in the fleet...
with enough shady friends
around who could
possibly hide us.
l love the way
he puts that.
Well, Mr. Zarek.
lt would seem the enemy
of my enemy is my friend.
Call me Tom.
A shuttle's waiting, ma'am.
We have to hurry.
(sighing)
Wow, is that the best
you can do?
Nice to know
