back.
l said it.
l meant it.
Yeah, okay.
Hey.
Be safe.
Let's go home.(male narrator)
Previously on
Battlestar Galactica.
Deep down in that thing
you call a subconscious...
you know how many Cylons
there are left in the fleet.
Eight! There are eight!
Cpl. Venner reports
the former President's
missing.
Missing?
Two men down, cell's empty.
Damn it.
(Zarek)
Glad to see you,
Madam President.
Well, Mr. Zarek.
lt would seem the enemy
of my enemy is my friend.
Go find her.
Let's go home.
(humming)
(Roslin)
We have found Kobol.
And when we retrieve
the Arrow, we will open
the Tomb of Athena...
and we will find
the road to Earth.
No one's gonna believe
this crap.
And anyone that wants to make
a suicide run to Kobol,
let them.
Astral Queen has jumped away.
(Gaeta)
Twenty-four ships, sir.
That's almost
a third of the fleet.
They're gonna follow Roslin
to Kobol to their death.
(chattering)
(Dualla)
18,000 souls
aboard the 24 ships...
that joined
former President Roslin's
rebellion, sir.
(Tigh)
That's over a third
of the people in the fleet.
Give me a breakdown.
What have we lost?
(Dualla)
9,500 souls from Geminon,
6,250 from Caprica.
Not who. What.
l'm not interested in people
who decide to join up...
with a religious fanatic
and a terrorist.
That's their business.
Now, what have l lost?
(sighs)
Twelve transports,
seven freighters...
three
construction platforms...
a private cruiser
and a mining ship, sir.
The Monarch was a blow.
We can't afford
to lose mining ships,
not in our situation.
And then
there's the collateral damage.
Morale is down
throughout the fleet.
The press is going wild,
families are being
split apart--
Don't talk to me
about family.
(Apollo)
I support the president
completely.
And my only priorities are
the preservation
of her safety...
and the completion
of this mission.
That's all well and good,
but he's still Adama's son.
(man #1)
Yeah!
(woman)
Yes!
When push comes to shove...
how do we know
he'll be willing to stand up--
lf it were not for him,
l would still be
in a Galactica jail cell.
l trust him completely
and this subject is closed.
And what about Galactica?
They know where we are.
They could jump in here
at any time and charge us all
with treason...
or destroy this ship
with a flick of the wrist.
(Zarek)
We're not entirely
defenseless.
(all muttering)
Some of our ships
are armed.
We should take steps
to arm the others,
just in case.
(all talking)
Just in case
we want to commit suicide.
lf Galactica wants
to take us down, there
is nothing we can do about it.
Nothing.
And nobody in this room
should be under any illusions
on that count.
At this point,
it's my firm belief
that Cdr. Adama has let us go.
Lt. Thrace will return.
She will have
the Arrow of Apollo...
and it will help us
find our way to Earth.
And exactly how long
should we wait for her?
l mean, maybe we should
go down to the surface now.
Go down now and start
looking for this tomb.
l wouldn't be too eager.
There may still be
Cylons present.
And some of us
will die down there.
The scriptures tell us
that any return to Kobol...
carries with it a cost...
in blood.
(Roslin)
People...
l realize that
there are still many...
(door creaking)
unanswered questions here.
But l refuse
to lose sight of what...
(door slamming)
this has always been about:
our mission to save humanity.
Yes, it's a big one.
But it is our foretold
destiny...
and l, for one, am not
going to waver from it now.
(Roslin)
lf there is anyone here...
who does not have the stomach
for this mission...
you are welcome to rejoin
Cdr. Adama's fleet.
(door creaking)
(door slamming)
(all chattering)
lt jumped into dradis range
about two minutes ago.
No Colonial transponder,
and it's too large
to be Thrace's Cylon Raider.
And no response to our hails?
(Meier)
Not a peep, Tom.
(beeping)
lt's either a Cylon vessel...
