All language subtitles for Battlestar Galactica 2003 S02E19 Lay Down Your Burdens Pt 1-EN

(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Previously on
Battlestar Galactica.

The Raiders
are going to send a signal
to activate the virus.

On my mark,
initiate the computer wipe.

l'm connecting
to the network now.

Congratulations, Commander.

l'm leaving Galactica,
not you.

l'm coming back.

l said it.

l meant it.

l understand what it's like

to lose someone
that you care about deeply.

They're not lost. Not yet.

We have to go back to Caprica.

Given the current situation,
l'm afraid that l have
no alternative

but to announce that l am,
as of now, a candidate
for the Presidency.

(REPORTERS CHATTERlNG)

l'm gonna lose.

(MUTTERlNG)

(KNOCKlNG AT DOOR)

Yes, come in.

One minute,
Madam President.

Thank you, Tory.

No one shouId be
under any illusions about
what we're gonna face here.

Our finaI jump wiII take us
intra-atmosphere,

Iess than two cIicks
above the surface.

We're also expecting
to take heavy fire.

SimuIations indicate
losses of up to 20%
can be expected.

20% !

That's why this mission
has been designated

as Two-Alpha
by the command authority.

lt's volunteer only.

You want out,

now's the time.

l know it's hard
to believe right now,
but if you have faith,

everything will turn out
exactly as it should.

l don't like to lose.

Have faith.

l'm about to face
public humiliation,

and you are singing
the same old song.

l'm a little tired
of the melody.

Oh.

Sorry about the mess.
lt's a bit of a ritual.

Superstition, really.

l used to do this
before testifying
at committee hearings.

This is what l do.
l take. . .

Memorize the talking points,
then tear the card,

let the pieces
fall as they may.
lt helps.

Yeah, my father
used to break pencils
before he went into court,

then borrow one
from the clerk.

Break preconceptions.
Work with what you have.

You know, l like that.

Let me see.

l like it.

(EXHALlNG)

That's good.

Feel better?

Yeah, but what happens
if the moderator
doesn't have a pencil?

Then you're pretty screwed.

Oh.

(GlGGLlNG)

Oh, no.

l used to get the giggles
before debate team

in high school.

(KNOCKlNG AT DOOR)

Yes?

lt's time, Madam President.

Thank you, Tory.

(LAUGHlNG)

What many of you don't know
is that the captured
CyIon Heavy Raider

is capable
of much longer jumps
than our Raptors.

ln fact, we realized early on

that if we couId instaII
the Heavy Raider
navigational system

aboard one of our Raptors,

a strike team
could make the entire trip
back to Caprica

in less than 1 0 jumps.

Now, the limiting factor
up until now

has been our inability
to instaII the CyIon computer
with our computer.

That obstacIe
has now been overcome.

She's here to heIp us.

She's gonna Iay out
our navigational markers

and update
our jump coordinates.

Does anyone
have a problem with that?

You've been chosen
to lead these people
by Almighty God.

lt will happen.

Like the baby happened?

The one
l was destined to protect?

Don't let your anger drive you
into blasphemy, Gaius.

The election's still
two weeks away.

Get your act together.

You ready?

Yeah, l was just taking
a little nap.

Chief?

(CLANGlNG)

This is our mission.

lt's our duty
to the people we left behind.

And if we need to use a CyIon
to get them back,
then so be it.

This is about trying to get
as many survivors off Caprica
as we can.

Even so, it's still Two-Alpha.

Anyone want to eject?

Commander on deck!

Don't worry.
l won't be long.
l want to hear it, too.

You just have
to really try to think
about something serious.

That always helps.
All right?

Like what?

Well, like. . .

Great.

No one has ever attempted
a rescue mission
from this distance,

much less behind enemy lines.

You'll be making history
just by making the attempt.

But bring these people
back from Caprica,

and you'll be making
part of the future.

Questions?

lf you guys find Earth
before we get back,
will you save us a few seats?

Earth, hell, we find
any rock with food and water,
l'll build you guys a bar.

All right.

See? l told you
l wouldn't be long.

Mr. Gaeta,
turn on the wireless.

Let's give these people
a chance to hear

what kind of fun
they'll be missing
for the next five days.

McMANUS: (ON RADlO)
We're just minutes away

from the start of the first
presidential debate between
President Laura RosIin...

You okay?

...and her opponent,
Vice President Gaius BaItar.

Can l go now?

All the questions...

Corporal Madsen.

...submitted by members
of the civiIian fIeet here

cover a wide range of topics.

So, pIease, stay tuned
as we get set now

for the first
of two presidential debates.

The atmosphere
in the auditorium is tense
as we await the arrivaI

of the two candidates
and their aides.

The real pressure will be
on Vice President BaItar
tonight...

Chief?

Bullseye. Here comes
Vice President Gaius BaItar

into the room
as we await Madam President.

Laura Roslin is very much
ahead in the polls
at this point.

I beIieve that

she's entering the room
shortly, but still,
of course, waiting for her.

He is capable
of blindsiding her

as he did when he Iaunched
his candidacy a month ago.

Dr. BaItar, of course,
has long been admired

as one of the most briIIiant
scientific minds
of his generation

and played a critical role
in saving the human race
from the CyIon threat.

Yes, here comes
the President now.

Laura RosIin, the President,
has entered the room.

l'm going to wipe the floor
with you, Gaius.

...shake hands,
exchange a few words.

You must be
losing your mind again.

lf that's the best
you can come up with,

you really are in trouble.
Good luck.

How you doing?
You okay?

Sharon.

Don't shut me out,
not now.

Something dark
is coming, Helo.

l can feel it.

l can feel it lurking
out there, waiting.

What do you mean?
Back on Caprica?

No.

Not on a mission,
not any specific thing.

lt's more like a dark time.

Chief?

(CALLY SCREAMlNG)

Help!

(THEME MUSIC)

Chief Tyrol,

l'm Brother Cavil.
l understand you've asked
for religious counseling.

l never really believed
in psychotherapy.
My father was a priest.

l see.

You thought you'd have
an easier time with a priest
than a real doctor. Okay.

l pray to the gods

every night,

but l don't think
they listen to me.

Do you know
how useless prayer is?

Chanting and singing

and mucking about
with old half-remembered lines
of bad poetry,

and you know
what it gets you?

Exactly nothing.

Are you sure
you're a priest?

l've been preaching
longer than you've been
sucking down oxygen.

And in that time,
l've learned enough to know

that the gods
don't answer prayers.

We're here on our own.
That's the way
they set things up.

We have to find
our own answers, our own way
out of the wilderness

without a nice
little sunny path all laid out
in front of us in advance.

That's what l'm trying to do.

l'm trying to find my way.

Now, it's not gonna get better

until you see
what the problem is.

And the problem is
you are screwed up,
heart and mind.

You, not the gods
or fate or the universe.

You.

Thanks for the pep talk.

Hey.

Hi.

l just wanted to say,

well,

good hunting.

Thank you, sir.

Yeah, it's a good plan.

lt's a good plan.

Sharon should be able to jump
you into the atmosphere

a couple of clicks
above the surface.

Down below the Cylon dradis.
l know the plan.

Lee, l wrote it.

Yeah.

l gotta go.

l hope you find him, Kara.

l really do.

So do l.

From the Colonial dispatch,

"Last night's debate
only solidified
the perception. . ."

MAN: Madam President.
l'll do that later.

". . .that Dr. Baltar,
for all his charm,
is essentially an empty suit

"when it comes to matters
of substantive policy."

lt's nice to see the press
is getting it right
for a change.

Don't forget,
the radical religious charge
is dangerous.

lt may be a low blow
from a desperate man,

but it's the only issue
he's managed to get
any traction on.

He will keep exploiting it.

He's gotta come up
with something much,
much bigger than that

if he wants to make it
the central issue
of his campaign.

lt's not gonna work.

(SlGHlNG)

You gotta keep hitting her
on the religious thing.

Every time we go there,

you score points,
and we move the polls
in our direction.

Yes, l'm not sure
if you're aware, Tom,

but the mob
isn't usually in the habit
of electing ungodly apostates

who denigrate people of faith.

Things are gonna
turn around. You'll see.

He's right.

Listen to him.

Of course.

Of course.
How blind l'm being.
Thank you, yes.

"Things are gonna turn around.
You'll see."

What is that? Advice?

Well, thank you.
Thank you
for your keen insight,

your astounding
political acumen.

You know,
l'm so assured right now, Tom,

l'm just gonna sit right back
and wait for the hand of God

to reach down and change
my political fortunes.

How about that?

Galactica, Starbuck.

SAR squadron
confirms readiness check,
and we are spun up out here

and ready for the first jump.

DUALLA: You are go
for the jump, Starbuck.

Roger that.

Jump in ten minutes. Mark.

(BEEPlNG)

GaIactica,
l'd like to speak with Actual.

Sir?

Actual. Go.

Did l ever say thank you?

No, but then again,
that would be a first,
wouldn't it?

Thank you.

Just come back in one piece.
That'll be thank you enough.

Good hunting.
Actual out.

SAR Team, Starbuck.
Set navcom inputs
to coordinate re-check.

Standby for bounce-back
and stabilization routines.

Let's do
a final check, people.

Headcase. Check.

Swordsman. Check.

AnviI. Check.
l still can't believe
you talked me into this.

Chinstrap. Check.

lt's important.

GumbaII. Check.

And l'll be with you
there and back.

lt's you and me from now on,
no matter what.

Just like we agreed.

l know. l know.
l really appreciate it, Helo.
l really do.

Raw Meat. Check.

Toyon. Check.

Strakus. Check.

l just can't get her
out of my head,

our little girl.

PIayboy. Check.

PoIo. Check.

Casey. Check.

Adonis. Check.

ls there a problem?

GuIIy Man. Check.

Star CIoud. Check.

Racetrack. Check.

CaIIan. Check.

Wireless check complete.

Board is green,
and we are set.

Sharon, you're on.

Ready.

SAR Team, Starbuck.

Standby to jump on my mark.

Five.

Here we go.
Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Commence the first jump.

This doesn't look right.

No other contacts on dradis.

What?

Oh, man.
We're at the wrong
jump coordinates.

Frak!

Helo, we've lost
someone already.

lt's Racetrack.

Should we go back?

Mission rules say
we keep going
unless we lose three,

so we keep going.

Racetrack will
just have to find
her way back to base.

lt's a hell of a way
to start, though.

Let's. . . Let's talk
about what happened.

l can't really believe
that Cally. . .

l don't understand
how l could do that
to Cally.

lt's like it's a nightmare.

(CALLY SCREAMlNG)

She said you were asleep
when she found you.

Were you having a nightmare
when she woke you up?

l don't remember.

Oh.

Been having
any recurring dreams lately?

No.

Okay, that's what
we in the pray trade
call a lie.

And lies aren't gonna get you
anywhere, my friend.

So skip over the denials
and the deceptions,

and let's get right down
to it, shall we?

You're having dreams.

What are they?

Tell me
about your dream, Chief.

Every night. . .
Every night it's the same.

For how long?

Couple of weeks.

And you were having
the same dream

when Cally woke you up,
weren't you?

l don't know.
l don't remember. Maybe.

Maybe. lt doesn't matter,
does it?

All l remember is
Cally on the ground
and the blood.

She stopped you.

By waking you up,
she prevented you
from carrying out

your secret desire
to kill yourself.

l don't have a secret desire
to kill myself.

Well, actually, you're right.
lt's not a secret.

You obviously
want to kill yourself.
Question is, why?

Look, l think there was
some kind of glitch
in the navcom firmware.

Hey, bottom line,
we're to hell and gone

from where we're supposed
to be, Skipper.

Okay, any chance
that we can still
catch up with them?

Not a chance.
Mission rules say
we head back.

Frak me!
lt was the first jump!

Hey, look, you gave me
these coordinates.

Yeah. . .

(MUTTERlNG)

Back to the barn.

Hey, l'm picking up
a large planetary body.

lt's frakking close.

Where did that
come from?

Hell if l know.

There's so much
dradis interference here,
it didn't even register.

Let's check this out.

Atmosphere
is nitrogen-oxygen.

Organic molecular spectra.
Fresh water.

Hey, you know what this is?
lt's habitable.

We may have just found a world
that can support human life.

Maybe we're not
just a bunch of frakups
after all.

Now, the climate readings
overall are
within human norms.

Oh, there's some extremes
at the poles
that we couldn't withstand,

but that's not unusual.

Well done.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.

We got a mottled area here
at the river mouth,
so it's probably a delta,

and chances are
we've got significant
plant and animal life,

so l want a lot
of nice low passes
across here.

l heard
the Pegasus survey mission
found wildlife.

Fruit trees,
rivers of milk and honey.

Yeah, you forgot the lakes
of ambrosia.

Most of the planet
is actually pretty barren.

Plant and animal life
located in a temperate belt
around the equator.

But the best part is,
with all the dradis
interference from the nebula,

the Cylons will probably
never find it.

BALTAR: Who cares about
this stupid planet anyway?

All this song and dance
over nothing.

Less than 20% of that place
actually supports
human life, so. . .

You're not seeing
the big picture.

This is your new home,

the place where
you will lead a new life.

This is the future, Gaius.

Now, there's
a depressing thought.

What's that?

Oh, nothing, Tom.

Just. . .

Can you imagine
if we actually had to live
on that thing?

You are a genius.

And?

Pay attention.
You're about to win
the election.

l'm sorry.
What were you saying, Tom?

We needed an issue,
something to set us
apart from Roslin,

something to put her
clearly on the wrong side
of a major issue

our people
care passionately about.

This is it.

(CHUCKLlNG)

Permanent settlement
on this planet.

Permanent settlement, here?

Have you lost your marbles?

lt may look dreary.
lt may be dreary.

But it's solid ground
under your feet

and real sky
over your head.

You'd be surprised
what a powerful idea
that is to people

cooped up in metal boxes
for nine months.

You should
listen to him, Gaius.

He's a smart, sexy man,
just like you.

Oh, give up.

What?

Give up on Earth.

Yes.

So we'd settle here.

Yes.

(CHUCKLlNG)

You know,
it's starting to look

like a lovely little planet
after all.

This is a rest stop,
a place to load up
on food and water.

We're not
settling here, obviously.

You've heard
the captains' reports.

Every ship in the fleet
has people begging, pleading,

demanding they get time
down on the surface,

even if it's only
for a few hours.

Well, a few hours
is one thing,

but permanent settlement's
quite another.

Suddenly, Baltar
is holding out hope
of breathing real air,

growing real food,
sleeping in a bed
instead of a bunk,

living in a house
instead of a ship.

lt's a fantasy.
Look at the mission reports.

All the data indicate
that life on this planet
would be hard.

lt would be a struggle
to even eke a living out
for a few years.

Today's polls show
that he's also making
headway with the idea

that because the planet
is hidden in a nebula,

it will provide
a refuge from the Cylons.

What, are we now assuming
that Cylon technology

is not sufficient enough
to find this planet?
We just found it.

Madam President,
in my opinion,

people vote their hopes,
not their fears.

Baltar is offering them
what they want to hear,

and you're offering them
a bitter reality.

l'm offering them
the truth.

They don't want
to hear the truth.
They're tired, exhausted.

The idea of stopping,
laying down their burdens

and starting a new life
right now

is what is resonating
with the voters.

How well is it resonating?

lt could turn
the entire election around.

Why are you running?

l'm not.

How long
are you gonna do this?

How long are you gonna
refuse to see

what's right in front
of your face?

How. . . Forget it. l'm done.

What? You're leaving?

That's right. l'm done.

l'm done dancing
around the truth with you.

You know what's going on,

but you can't
or you won't face it, so. . .

l'm not a therapist.

l'm not gonna hold your hand
and help you along.

l'm just trying to get you
right with yourself
and with your gods,

but you're not willing
to do it.

But. . .

l don't even know
what you're talking about.

Oh, for gods' sake,
Chief, come on !

You think you're a Cylon.

l am not a Cylon.

Well, of course you're not,

but that's
what you're afraid of,
isn't it?

That you might be a Cylon
and not even know it,
just like Boomer, right?

Right?

That's the thought
that's torturing your dreams
and crippling your soul.

"l'm a Cylon,
just like Sharon,
and l deserve to die."

Sharon didn't know
what she was.

She just kept thinking. . .

Feeling that she was gonna do
this terrible thing,

but she knew
that she had to stop herself
before she did.

And you think that's
what you're going to do,
some terrible thing.

Well, the truth is,
you might,

but not
because you're a Cylon,

because you're a human being

and human beings
do terrible things
all the time.

Well, how do you know
l'm human?

Oh, well, maybe
because l'm a Cylon,

and l've never seen you
at any of the meetings.

There's not much more
l can do for you.

You're gonna have
to go back to work

and try and leave all of this
behind you.

No, l. . .

l can't.

l can't go back and face
the deck people again.
Are you. . .

And Cally!

Well, you better.
That's the only family
you've got.

Just know that
that's your family
and that they love you.

Even Cally.
Especially Cally.

lf you doubt your humanity
and your essential nature
as a human being,

all you need to do
is look to them

for the salvation
you've been seeking
from the gods.

The gods lift up those
who lift each other, Chief.

SAR Team, Starbuck.
We are set here.

Stand by
for final jump to Caprica.

Remember, we are going
very low to the surface.

Be prepared for wind shear,
rain, storms, anything.

Roger that, Starbuck.

Ready?

Ready.

Here we go. Jump.

SAR Team, Starbuck.
Form up on me.

Copy that, Skipper.

Any Cylons, Helo?

Nothing on dradis.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

We're missing a Raptor.
l'm only reading 1 7 out there.

We're missing Raptor 61 2.

That's Toughguy
and Carousel.

What, they jumped
to the wrong coordinates?

No, no, no.

l'm picking up
their transponder,
so they made it.

Bearing 827 carom 443,
about a half click from here.

That would put them. . .

Oh, my gods.

Where, Helo? Talk to me.

They jumped
inside the mountain.

Damn.

SAR Team, Starbuck.
We've lost Raptor 61 2.

We are proceeding
without them.

Follow me.

Roger that, Starbuck.

BALTAR: So I wouId think
that my position

and the position
of my campaign
is abundantly clear.

Thank you.

McMANUS: Madam President,
you have 30 seconds
to respond.

Well, my initial response is,
there he goes again.

Once again,
ladies and gentlemen,

Dr. Baltar is distorting
the reaI issues before us.

The issue here,
the real question, is not

allowing the scriptures
to dictate the policy
of this government.

The question is,
do the scriptures
contain reaI-worId reIevance?

Do they contain
the information necessary
to guide us to a safer home

than some
completely unknown planet

that we've
just now discovered?

ObviousIy, my answer
to that question is yes.

l have always
and wiII continue to feeI

the scriptures hold
reaI-worId reIevance.

Mr. Vice President,
the next question is for you.

How do you respond
to the charges

that you've seized the idea
of permanent settlement
on this planet

as an opportunistic gamble?

Some wouId say
it's to be construed
as a desperate move

from a campaign
that was falling behind
in every poll.

Well, you know,
that is...

That is an excellent question,
in fact, Jim. Thank you.

And l am only too glad
to have the opportunity
to respond to it.

You see,
l have long been a proponent
in the search for Earth.

The promise of perhaps
finding not only a new home

but also the prospect
of discovering

our long lost brothers
and sisters of the 1 3th CoIony
is a powerful one,

and one I have beIieved in
heart and souI,

but the troubIe is, the CyIons
continue to foIIow us

as they have done
every step of the way

since the destruction
of the CoIonies.

And if we have a chance
to change this dynamic,
to stop this deadly chase,

shouIdn't we take it?
My answer is yes.

MAN: Oh, yeah. Come on.

Thank you.
Madam President, 30 seconds.

There's no assurance,
none whatsoever,

that the CyIons
don't already know
about this planet,

that they don't make
regular stops here
looking for us,

and that, in fact, they aren't
simply waiting for us

to settIe on the surface
so they can attack us...

l have to respond to that.
l simply have to respond
to that.

l'll give you 1 5 seconds.

What you've seen right now,
ladies and gentlemen,

is another example
of the President using fear
to drive her campaign.

Fear.

Fear of the gods.

Fear of the CyIon.
Fear of fear itseIf.

Is it not time
to stop being afraid?

l'm asking all of us

to stop running from our lives
and start living them.

Thank you.

Thank you. That is all
we have time for today.

I'd Iike to thank
both the candidates
for their frankness today.

A very exciting debate.

And this concIudes
the cycle of the debates
for the Presidency.

The polls will open
in three days. Please vote.

Thank you and good night.

(WHlSPERlNG)

Not your night, l guess.

Why don't you go
frak yourself?

MAN: (ON RADlO) With me now
is campaign manager
for Dr. BaItar, Mr. Tom Zarek.

Tom, weIcome. You were
in there with us today.

What was your impression?

ZAREK: Well,
l thought Dr. Baltar
did exceptionally well.

Laid out
his vision of the future

and offered the people
a way to end
the suffering and terror

that defines
so many of their lives.

On the other hand,
l found myself wondering

how Roslin's arguments
against settlement
could possibly win.

(WHlSPERlNG)
Watch your footing over here.
On me. Let's go.

Get up to that line,
right there.

Got it?

All right, hold it.

Let's figure out
where we are, Karl.

Resistance base camp
was still another click ahead.

Movement. 1 1 :00.

(RUSTLlNG)

Friendlies?

You got
a Samuel T. Anders there?

BAROLAY: ls there
a Kara Thrace there?

lf there is, you tell her
she took her good sweet time
getting here.

Friendlies.

What took you so long?

We got Marines and Raptors.

We're gonna get
you and your people
out of here, okay?

As good as your word, huh?

Yeah, good as
my frakking word.

What, did you think
l was gonna leave you here?

Now you feel
like a big frakking idiot,
don't you?

All right, just shut up
and save us already, okay?

Okay, people, this is nice,
but we have toasters
on our ass.

Where are the rest
of your people?

This is it.

Toasters hit our base camp
this morning.

l lost half my crew.

lncoming !

MARlNE: Pull back!

Back to the Raptors!

No!

The shell trajectories
are between us
and the Raptors!

We're cut off!

MARlNE: Men down !

(GUNS FlRlNG)

Stay right there!
Stay right there!
