[Squeaking]
BOOMER: There's more.
HELO: Boomer, you might not wanna...
Frakking rats. Let's go.
Come on.
Let's find a hospital,
score some anti-radiation meds, okay?
We've only got two days' worth left.
Sharon, we've made it this far.
We're gonna make it all the way.
- Right.
- Damn straight, all the way.
We're doing good, real good.
I guess someone must be
watching out for us.
DORAL: She's good.
- So far.
- Jealous?
[lntense instrumental music]
NO. 6: This all makes me makes so sad.
DORAL: They would've destroyed themselves
anyway. They deserve what they got.
We're the children of humanity.
That makes them our parents, in a sense.
True. But parents have to die.
It's the only way children
come into their own.
[Cell door opening]
[Zarek sighs]
No, that's not necessary.
I'd like to talk to you.
Guard. Prisoner 893893...
requests permission
to speak with his visitor.
SEABORNE: Granted.
We're not allowed to speak
unless asked a direct question.
And you didn't ask me a direct question.
ZAREK: You've never been
in a prison before, have you, Captain?
APOLLO: No.
ZAREK: You're fortunate.
- May I sit down?
- Yes, of course.
[Cell door shuts]
[Tense instrumental music]
APOLLO: We need these men of yours
to help us.
They're not my men. They belong to you.
I belong to you. You own us.
You're the master, we're the slaves.
[Tense instrumental music continues]
APOLLO: You're clearly a man of principle.
APOLLO: I respect that.
ZAREK: Really?
The things you've stood for over the years,
the book you wrote.
The book that had to be smuggled
out of labour camp...
because stumps aren't allowed
freedom of expression?
I read it. In college.
Thought it was radical, challenging.
Made me question some things
I'd accepted before without thinking.
Nice to hear I'm a big hit on campus.
You weren't, the book was banned.
I read it anyway.
Point is, I understand
where you're coming from.
But I don't think you understand
how critical the situation is out there.
People are gonna start dying.
Hey, Starke. It's time for your break.
BILLY: How can you say that?
DUALLA: It's the truth.
Zarek and the SFM,
they don't care about justice.
BILLY: His people, your people
have been exploited.
- You can't tell me about my people.
- I'm not telling you about your people.
All I want, the President wants...
is to offer you a chance
to earn your freedom.
Now you've said the truth: freedom is earned.
[Tense instrumental music intensifies]
Stay where you are, Captain.
It'll all be over soon.
[Electronic beeping]
SEABORNE: Nobody try anything! Back up!
[Prisoners yelling]
[Prisoner grunting]
SEABORNE: We've got the guards
and the crew in separate cells in Block 7.
Mason is looking after the hostages.
ZAREK: Nice job.
SEABORNE: Everything's under control.
The men are organising exactly as planned.
I knew I could count on you.
[Cell lock clacking]
Stay frosty there, Billy.
Everything's gonna be all right.
I don't know about that.
They don't wanna hurt us.
That won't get them what they want.
Which is what?
- Lt. Thrace. Good to see you.
- Good to see you, too.
BALTAR: Really?
STARBUCK: No.
[Starbuck giggles]
[Sympathetically] Oh.
- I wonder if she's a real blonde.
- I doubt it.
Now, one of you has been
coming in a little hot lately.
A little too hot. A little... I don't know.
He's burning up the deck
with his skids because...
he can't pull back on the throttle.
Who is the speed demon, my prince?
Flat-Top, sir.
[Pilots chuckling]
STARBUCK: Flat-Top.
You got a need for speed, do you?
Can't wait to get back to the Big G
and the loving embrace of your fellow pilots?
Or maybe you have a hot date
with your right hand.
It never gets a headache.
Tell you what, Flat-Top,
you come in too hot today...
you may have to start using your left.
[Pilots exclaiming]
All right. You've been fun,
you've been a great audience.
