Battlestar Galactica Season One, Episode "Thirty-three", Page 6
The scene switches over to Starbuck's cockpit and she radios, "I don't think they got the message, Apollo.", to which he responds, "Yea, I see it. Have Boomer, break wireless silence, on my authority. Warn them to stop their engines, immediately."
Back on the Galactica, Commander Adama is still talking to the president, "I suggest we evacuate the passengers and destroy the ship.", to which the president replies, "Solves the problem if they are tracking the ship, but if they are tracking one of the passengers."
The scene then switches over to the Raptor 478, where Boomer is warning the ship, "Olympic Carrier, Olympic Carrier. You are ordered to stop your engines, immediately! Acknowledge." There is no response, so a few moments later, Boomer radios, "Apollo? They're not responding.", to which he replies, "Are you using the same channel?" Boomer replies with, "Yeah, it's like nobody's home." Meanwhile, the Vipers have been circling the ship the whole time and then Apollo orders, "Starbuck, fire a burst across their bow." We then see Starbuck, do a 180, which positions her perfectly, to fire the warning shot. After Starbuck fires the warning, nothing happens, so Apollo radios, "Boomer? Let Galactica know we have a problem, out here."
Back on the Galactica, we see Dee report, "Commander? Message from Boomer: The Olympic Carrier is headed right for us, sir. They are refusing all orders to stop." The camera then pans over to the clock which is finishing it's thirty-three minute countdown and then Boomer radios again, "Galactica? They're still not responding and continuing to head towards the fleet. Request instructions." Commander Adama then gives the order, "Order the Fleet, to execute jump 240! Get us between that ship and the fleet!" Suddenly we hear Gaeta say, "Commander? Dradis contact, strike that, multiple Dradis contacts." The camera pans over to show that the clock has just ended it's thirty-three minute countdown and the Cylons are, promptly, right on time.
The scene switches over to show the basestars are launching hundreds of Raiders and then switches over to Boomer's Raptor. Her shipmate radios, "Cylons on an intercept course. They'll be in weapons range in ...two minutes." A few seconds later, he yells "Radiological Alarm!" Then the scene switches back to the Galactica where Dee yells the report, "Radiological Alarm!", to which Colonel Tigh asks, "From where?" Dee replies with, "Olympic Carrier, sir. They've got nukes on board." The camera pans over to Commander Adama, who is talking to the president, "Madam President? We have to eliminate the Olympic Carrier. Immediately!" The camera switches over to the Colonial One, where the president is thinking, she then responds with a fearful, "There are 1300 people onboard that ship!" Commander Adama responds with, "We don't know that. Cylons may have captured them, already."
The scene quickly switches over to Dr. Baltar, who is hallucinating again and says, "She's not going to do it. She has to do it!" Number Six, in an attempt to comfort the doctor, puts her hands on his shoulder and pulls him close. Then she responds with a firm, "It's not her decision, Gaius.", to which the doctor replies with, "No?" Then she replies with, "It's god's choice. He wants you to repent."
The scene briefly switches back over to the Galactica and the commander tells the president, "Look. There's no choice. It's either them, or us." Then the camera switches back to Dr. Baltar, where Number Six tells him, "Repent of your sins. Accept his true love, and you will be saved." He then, with fear in his heart replies, "Then I'll repent!" Number Six moves closer to look deep in his eyes, then the doctor repeats, "I repent!" The camera then switches over to the Colonial One, where the president, finally makes up her mind, and tells the commander, "Do it!"
The scene switches over to Boomer, who radios the CAG, "We have new orders. We are directed to destroy the Olympic Carrier and return to Galactica." The camera switches over to Starbuck's cockpit, who questions the order, "It's a civilian ship." Boomer's shipmate replies, "Yeah, a civilian ship, with nukes." Both Starbuck and Apollo are maneuvering their Vipers into position and while doing so, they look through the windows of the Olympic Carrier to discover, no one can be seen in any of the passenger seats. Then Apollo makes up his mind, "The Cylons will be here any second. If we're going to do this, let's just do it." There is a slight pause then he gives the order, "Starbuck? Form up with me, we'll make one pass, from the stern." Starbuck radios in protest, "Lee? What if you're wrong?" A few seconds later she says, "Lee? Come on. Lee?", to try to change his mind. The camera switches to Apollo's cockpit who is deeply reflecting on his decision and then he says, "Ok, fire on my mark." Starbuck in disobedience replies, "No Fracken way, Lee! Lee? ...Come on!!!" A few more seconds pass, then Apollo says, "Mark.", as he begins firing on the Olympic Carrier. Starbuck follows suit, with resentment written all over her face, and soon the ship lights up the sky, in a huge explosion. The camera switches back to Apollo's cockpit, where you can see the destruction of the civilian ship, weighs heavy on his heart.
New Scene:
Back on the Nuclear holocaust ridden planet, that is Caprica, we see Helo, who is chained and prisoner to his captors. The Number Six model pulls the hood from Helo's head and asks, "Are you alive?" Helo responds only with his name, rank, and serial number and Number Six replies with, "I know who you are. It's alright, I'm a friend." She leans into kiss Helo, but suddenly she is shot in the back by another Boomer model. Helo, who is in great surprise, looks up to see his rescuer and says, "Sharon? What are you doing here? I..." Boomer interrupts with, "Can you walk?", to which he replies with an optimistic, "Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think so.", as she helps him to his feet. Helo then repeats his earlier question, "What are you doing here? I thought you...", to which Boomer interrupts again, saying, "Let's move, mister!" As they are rushing away from the area, just meters behind them is another Number Six model and a Mechanical Cylon escort, that saw the whole thing happen. The Cylons stop to watch Boomer and Helo, move off into the distance, knowing that they will have no trouble catching up to them, later.
