her attention.
How are you doing
with all this?
She outranks me.
lt's as simple as that.
You know, if President Adar
stepped off that Raptor,
l'd be elated.
Grateful to have someone
take over, and yet....
l don't want go to
the ''and yet'' part.
l've been taking orders
my entire career.
This is no different.
Well, then, Commander,
thank you.
We would appreciate
all the help you can give us.
You shall receive it.
Sounds like
you were both drunk.
No question. But he
wasn't lying, l can
tell you that right now.
Well, l hope you won't
jump to conclusions.
Wait for all of the facts.
Context matters.
Context?
That woman shot an officer
right in front of the crew.
We shot down an entire
civilian transport...
with over
1,000 people onboard.
lt says so right there.
That was completely different.
And we don't know there were
people on that ship.
Which is why l hope
the Admiral reads
the complete log...
and understands the context.
We should ask Adm. Cain
for her logs just so we can
put her in context.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Don't get too close.
lt killed seven of my crew.
You want my guards
to come in with you?
Feeling scared, Gaius?
Want the big, bad soldiers
to protect you from the mean
old Cylon prisoner?
No, l think
we'll be just fine.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
(No.6)
My God, Gaius.
lt's me.
Look what
they've done to her.
Open the door.
Now, please.
(gasps)
She must've
struggled.
She must have
fought back.
That doesn't justify this.
Stop it.
Hello.
Hello. Can you hear me?
She's obviously been abused.
Tortured.
(Balter)
Yes.
But there's no obvious sign
of head trauma.
(Baltar exclaims)
Voluntary eye movements
suggest conscious thought.
Can't you stop being
a scientist for one moment...
and look at the abused woman
lying there in front of you?
Now, listen.
l know this must be
very difficult for you.
Don't patronize me.
l'm not patronizing you.
l'm trying to reason with you.
lf l'm going to help her,
l have to understand her
first.
Will you help her, Gaius?
l will do everything l can.
After all...
she is remarkably similar
to someone l care about
a great deal.
l think
it would be best...
if you left us alone
for a time.
lt suffered no serious
head injuries, therefore
no physical damage...
to its neural pathways or
cognitive reasoning centers.
But it's quite clearly
traumatized.
Which would suggest that its
current condition
is psychological in nature.
Had you thought of that?
No.
lt shows that
the Cylon consciousness
is just as susceptible...
to the same pressures
and cleavages
as the human psyche...
and can be manipulated
in the same fashion.
Simply put, Admiral,
you have already
used the stick.
lt's time to use
a carrot.
Please give the doctor
whatever he needs.
Aye, sir.
Commander,
having read your logs...
it appears that you've been
through quite an ordeal.
We've had our moments.
Well, you did
yourselves proud.
Thank you, Admiral.
As l told you, we
were tracking a Cylon Fleet
when we found Galactica.
And now that l've had a chance
to compare their route
to your ship's logs...
it's quite clear that
they've been following you.
Our recon
so far tells us...
that the fleet is composed
of two base ships...
about a dozen
or so support ships...
and one large vessel
that we are
still unable to identify.
lt's this large ship here
that l'm interested in.
What's its function?
ls it a commanding
control ship?
A raider factory?
Possibly. Whatever it is,
the Cylons are protecting it.
This is what l'd call
a tempting target.
And here l was
getting ready to do
a whole song and dance...
about combining resources
for a joint strike mission.
Any chance of hitting
the Cylons where it hurts.
My pleasure.
l'll have Apollo
coordinate with your CAG.
Which leads me
to the next subject,
Commander.
l'm going to
integrate the crews.
And l'm starting by
reassigning Capt. Adama
to
