Battlestar Galactica 1978 S01E19+E20 Greetings from Earth Pt 1 + Pt 2A Subtitles

00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:04,We've actually found
human life forms.

00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:10,- Look at them.
- Oh, my lord.

00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:13,Hopefully this is our first contact
with an earth vehicle.

00:00:14,056 --> 00:00:16,The lives of those people
do not belong to us.

00:00:16,892 --> 00:00:19,They must continue
on their journey.

00:00:19,311 --> 00:00:22,- Can you identify them?
- I've never seen flying craft like it.

00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:24,Do not lose contact.

00:00:24,316 --> 00:00:28,You'd have to be pretty powerful
to beat the alliance.

00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,By the good graces
of the lords of kobol,

00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:33,the Galactica
leads her survivors

00:02:33,111 --> 00:02:37,towards the coordinates given us
by those great lights

00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,that vanished as mysteriously
as they appeared.

00:02:40,243 --> 00:02:43,There are those who speculate
that those lights,

00:02:43,747 --> 00:02:48,advanced ships, really,
might have come from earth,

00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:53,giving us great hope that they have
a highly developed technology.

00:02:53,090 --> 00:02:56,Even now, our long-range scouts
patrol the quadrants

00:02:56,593 --> 00:03:01,watching for signs that indicate
that we are growing close.

00:03:18,782 --> 00:03:20,Apollo?

00:03:20,784 --> 00:03:22,Yeah. I'm awake.

00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:27,- How long have I been in sleep period?
- About six centares. What's up?

00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:29,I can hear your klaxon
over the comm line.

00:03:29,835 --> 00:03:32,You're about 50 sectars
ahead of me.

00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:35,Wait. Something's coming
onto the edge of my scanner.

00:03:35,382 --> 00:03:37,What's it look like?

00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:45,A sub-light vehicle
containing six life forms.

00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:50,- Apollo, you don't think...
- It's our first contact with earth?

00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:53,Don't get your hopes too high.

00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,I'm kicking in my turbos
to catch up.

00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:06,Apollo?

00:04:07,122 --> 00:04:09,I see her.
Now back off a little.

00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:14,Back off? We've come
millions of metrics for this moment!

00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:18,Starbuck, we don't want
to scare them out of their wits.

00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:22,- I hadn't thought about that.
- Look at the life signs.

00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:26,That's incredible.
They indicate humans but...

00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,But at minimum
life-support level.

00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:45,Colonel, what is this?

00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:48,I'm sorry but everyone's
so excited.

00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:51,News has spread
that there are life forms

00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:53,and that captain Apollo
has attached the tow lines

00:04:54,044 --> 00:04:56,without interference from them.

00:04:56,797 --> 00:04:58,I see. Put me on unicom, please.

00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,Yes, sir.

00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:05,On the line, commander.

00:05:05,847 --> 00:05:09,People of the fleet,
this is commander Adama.

00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:15,Rumours are spreading faster than fact
about the discovery of a manned vehicle

00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:18,soon to be brought aboard
the Galactica.

00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:23,I must ask you all to be patient
and cautious in your optimism.

00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:27,The incoming vessel will have to be
placed in strict quarantine,

00:05:27,786 --> 00:05:31,carefully, before we can allow
anyone near it,

00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,for fear of jeopardising
not only our own lives,

00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:39,but the lives of whoever
is aboard that spaceship.

00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:45,Hopefully this is our first contact
with an earth vehicle.

00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:52,Commander, so far no responses
whatsoever from within the ship.

00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,I doubt we'll get any response.

00:05:55,897 --> 00:05:59,Why? All life signs indicate
live body functions.

00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:01,Alive but minimal.

00:06:02,445 --> 00:06:05,They could be sick.
Or it could be a trap,

00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:08,maybe a bomb planted inside
capable of blowing us apart.

00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:10,There is no bomb!

00:06:10,912 --> 00:06:13,The defusing team say
the ship is clean.

00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:16,Has anyone tried to tell those inside
that we're here?

00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:18,Yes, there was no response.

00:06:18,753 --> 00:06:22,- But they're alive?
- Yes, but barely.

00:06:22,591 --> 00:06:26,Gentlemen, there is no need
for all this conjecture. Let's go in.

00:06:27,178 --> 00:06:29,Dr wilker, one centon, please.

00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:36,Could we be upsetting a critical balance by
entering this ship - violating the seals?

00:06:37,022 --> 00:06:43,We penetrated the hull with a probe and took
samplings of the gases in the atmosphere.

00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:47,- And?
- Almost zero atmosphere.

00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:51,- Zero?
- Traces of oxygen, carbon dioxide.

00:06:51,703 --> 00:06:53,But nothing that could sustain life
as we know it.

00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:58,Yet six life forms
on this ship live, even if barely.

00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,What happens...

00:07:01,504 --> 00:07:04,If we enter the decontamination chamber
attached to the ship?

00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:10,Would we be killing those inside
if they're used to zero atmosphere?

00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:16,Commander, nothing human
could survive in that ship.

00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:20,Well, then, this is it.

00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:37,It's incredible.

00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:47,- By the grace of god.
- Oh, my lord.

00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:56,Bless their hearts.
Look at them.

00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:02,Some of them are babies.
Just children.

00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:09,Doctor, are they alive?

00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:12,They are alive.

00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:17,You sure? They don't look
like they're breathing.

00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:20,Their metabolism has been lowered
to sustain life.

00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:24,- They're conserving fuel.
- Precisely.

00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:28,How long could they
have been like this?

00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,Perhaps a long, long time.

00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:38,Yeah, well, we've g***t to do something
to try and bring them out of it.

00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:41,Starbuck, done improperly,

00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:44,- that could terminate their lives.
- Why?

00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:49,Because we haven't the slightest idea
of how this equipment functions.

00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:52,To tamper
with a life-support system

00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,which has kept them in this state
for a yahren or 100 yahren

00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:59,could mean termination.

00:08:59,622 --> 00:09:03,You mean we finally find humans
who are possibly from earth

00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:06,and we've g***t to leave them
in these tubes?

00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:10,Lieutenant,
dr salik is a physician.

00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:12,I ** a scientist.

00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:17,We'll have no trouble comprehending
how their technology works.

00:09:17,098 --> 00:09:20,I'll pick one chamber
and run tests on it.

00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,You mean use them
as human testing drones?

00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:25,And if you short out
his life-support system, too bad,

00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:28,you just move on
to the next child?

00:09:28,359 --> 00:09:33,Adama, if you'll forgive me, I believe
you people have served your purpose.

00:09:33,364 --> 00:09:37,The rest is in our hands.
It's not a military matter any more.

00:09:37,202 --> 00:09:40,Commander, we do need
some room to work.

00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:46,Very well.

00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:50,But understand one thing,
doctors.

00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:53,Who these people are

00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:56,and where they were going
when we intercepted them

00:09:56,554 --> 00:09:59,may be crucial to our survival.

00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:04,I want no chances
taken with their lives.

00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:08,Commander, bringing them here at all
may have been fatal.

00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,By now, I'm sure that most of you are aware
that something special has happened.

00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:29,We've found people from earth.

00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:32,Please use your question indicator
before addressing the class.

00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:36,- I'm sorry, Athena.
- You're excused.

00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:40,Now, I'm sure you realise
that what happens throughout this day

00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:44,is liable to affect us
for the rest of our lives.

00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,We're all a trifle nervous.

00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:48,Yes, loma?

00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:53,If people are inside that ship,
why aren't they coming out?

00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:57,We can't allow it right now.
Their craft has to be decontaminated.

00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,Who knows what that means?

00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:02,Yes, boxey.

00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:05,We have to kill any sick bugs
that may be on their ship.

00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:07,Very...
