Tigh yells at Chief to chill and reminds him that in fact he can read a map, because they know the Cylon coordinate system, because it was in the list of freqs they used to talk to Racetrack. Chief babbles about this for a while, and Tigh tells him in very simple words to take some guys and go save Cally and stop yelling and stomping around. "Pull it together. You won't do her any good if you get caught too. Besides, the last thing your son wants is me and Ellen for parents." WORD. I love Tigh so much this season. They watch him stomp off into the distance and Ellen embraces Tigh, scared and thinking about how if that's how people are behaving these days, Anders is going to have her balls. And she's right.
Credits. Then, in the Tyrol tent, Chief stomps around and yells some more and Moves His Own Cheese all over the place before finally talking himself through some things and finding the list without losing one iota of his obnoxious freakout energy. (He also, and this is key, has been using terms like "Godsdamned" and "Holy frack" all season: not things a true son of Geminon would ever say. How much did Cavil take from him really?) Then he stomps out into the street and tells Seelix (a tech last seen helping Chief build the Blackbird, now with much less hair and a very stompy person in her own right) to get some people together so they can go to x-ray seven, also known as Pergamus Flats. They do a quick round of the We Are Lunatics dance, then watch the trucks full of the damned rolling out of town. Too bad the people on the other trucks don't have Chief stomping around on their behalf, but lucky that Roslin and Zarek are in the same transport group as Cally, or else they, like those 150 other unlucky people, would end up like Vegas strippers in the cold desert night. The kind that saw stuff they shouldn't have.
