BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

2X16 - SACRIFICE

Original Airdate (SciFi): 10/FEB/2006


Ellen: My husband's XO of Galactica. You've just made the worst mistakes of your life.

Galactica - CIC

Radio Officer: Colonel Tigh, Admiral-- you need to hear this.

Ellen: (on phone) Saul--

Tigh: Ellen? What's wrong?

Ellen: They're holding us hostage. They're threatening to kill us!

Sesha: My name is Sesha Abinell. I have seized control of the Cloud Nine lounge... and held the people in it hostage.

Tigh: What do you want?

Sesha: What I want... this is not about... what I want. The colonial fleet has become a cylon-occupied territory. You are working in collusion with a cylon agent-- the very same model of a cylon who tried to murder you, Admiral Adama, on your own ship. We want Sharon Valerii. You have two hours.

Adama: Get me everything you can on Sesha Abinell.

Gaeta: Yes, sir.

later

Gaeta: Sesha Abinell... fleet records indicate she's the widow of a Ray Abinell. He was a casualty aboard the Greenleaf Freighter when the cylons hit it about ten weeks ago.

Adama: Widow. Who do we have aboard Cloud Nine?

Geata: Uh, rotation schedule shows... Captain Adama, half a marine squad, and starbuck's already there on R & R.
