[In different locations, Commander Adama and Admiral Cain each plot the assassination of the other]

Admiral Helena Cain:
(to her Executive Officer, Colonel Fisk) Jack, I want to transfer a detachment of marines to Galactica and I want you to hand-pick them. Completely reliable. Completely loyal. Razors.

Commander William Adama:
I have a mission for you, Kara.

Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace:
Anything for you. You know that.

Adama:
Don't accept too quickly. You won't like this one. I don't like it, but I've decided that it has to be done.

Cain:
I'm transferring you to Galactica as well. I'll tell Adama that you're there to be my eyes and ears. He'll hate it. He'll think you're my spy and try to freeze you out of decision-making, but he'll accept it. Now I want you to stay in CIC throughout the attack. Stay with Adama.

Adama:
After the attack is completed and you've accounted for your pilots, I want you to land your bird on the Pegasus and report directly to CIC. You'll take Lee with you. He'll watch your back.

Cain:
Position Marines in key areas throughout the ship and keep a squad posted just outside CIC.

Adama:
There'll be the normal chaos and emotional high after the attack.

Cain:
They'll be slapping each other on the back, celebrating the victory.

Adama:
That'll keep their guard down.

Cain:
Security will be lax.

Adama:
I will ask for you on the wireless.

Cain:
I will call you directly and when I have you on the line, and you hear me give the command "Execute Case Orange"...

Adama:
When you hear me say "Downfall"...

Cain:
...you are to signal the Marines to terminate Adama's command. Starting with Adama.

Adama:
...I want you to pull out your weapon and shoot Admiral Cain in the head.
