"Flesh and Bone" is an episode of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series.
Plot
Survivor Count: 47,954
A copy of Leoben Conoy, (a duplicate of the Cylon that Commander Adama encountered on Ragnar Anchorage), is caught aboard the Gemenon Traveller and arrested. Adama assigns Lt. Starbuck to go to the ship and interrogate him. Starbuck finds Leoben "praying" in the holding room. She quickly learns the Cylons concept of a single God and their renouncement of the pantheon of multiple deities that the people of the Twelve Colonies worship.
Leoben dodges questions and resorts to playing games such as telling Starbuck her real name when she hadn't told him. When Starbuck tries to leave, Leoben tells her he hid a nuclear bomb somewhere in the fleet that is set to detonate in nine hours. Adama orders radiological sweeps of all ships, in the meantime, Starbuck is told to do whatever is necessary to get information out of the prisoner, which later includes torture.
Elsewhere, Galactica-Boomer continues to suspect that she may be a Cylon agent, and so asks Dr. Baltar to test her with his prototype Cylon Detector. She fails the test (revealing that she is in fact a Cylon), but Baltar, frightened by Number Six's taunts and suspicions, lies to Boomer about the results, fearing she might kill him if he tells her the truth.
On Caprica, Helo and Caprica-Boomer continue to run from the Cylons. Unknown to Helo, Boomer is now genuinely on the run with him after disobeying orders from the other Cylons to kill him.
Back at the fleet, President Laura Roslin, spurred on by recurring nightmares, decides to talk to the Cylon herself and arrives on the Gemenon Traveller. She intervenes in the interrogation and apologises for the harsh treatment at Starbuck's hands. Leoben then makes some startling predictions about the future of the fleet. He claims that they will find the legendary planet of Kobol (the "lost" planet where humanity originally came from), and then admits he lied about planting a bomb. Suddenly he grabs Roslin and whispers in her ear that Commander Adama is a Cylon agent. Roslin turns pale at the thought. The guards pull Leoben away and in disgust, Roslin has him vented into space.
