“Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down” · Season 1, Episode 9

In this episode: William Adama (3), Saul Tigh (1), Laura Roslin (1), Number Six (1), Number Five (1), Ellen Tigh (1)

Madame President, we are the proud owners of the universe's first bona fide Cylon detector.

Well, that is great news. So... when do we begin?

Doctor Baltar would like to start widespread testing as soon as possible, but there are some serious limitations, because he can only do one person at a time and verification takes hours.

So, who's going to go first?

[thinking for a second] The test... right. I think people in sensitive positions should go first.

I completely agree. How about you?

Excuse me?

If you're a Cylon, I'd like to know.

If I'm a Cylon, you're really screwed. [Adama and Roslin both start laughing.]

Seriously, I do think you should go first. Show everyone in the fleet that they can trust the people at the top.

Well then, maybe YOU should go first. [silence] All right... I'll go first.

[Number Five (Aaron Doral) and Number Six have trouble catching Caprica Sharon and Helo.]

We've searched every street, every building. They slipped through. How's that possible?

She thinks she loves him now. That she can't live without him. Her passion is making her more resourceful.

It bothers you, doesn't it?

We'll get them in the end.

No, it bothers you that you've never experienced it.

You saw the way Helo was when we took her away. He was pathetic.

I can't help wondering what it would be like to feel that intensely. Even in his anguish he seemed so alive.

[during the argument in the lab]

[to Tigh, who just walked in with Ellen] I was afraid she might be a Cylon, so I brought her blood over here to have it tested.

That's why you cancelled your test.

How'd you know about that?

[doesn't answer; to Roslin] You didn't tell me he was testing my wife.

[stares at Tigh] ...You met with the President?

Yes! She thought you might be a Cylon!

[Beat. Then both Adama and Tigh look toward Roslin.]

[to Tigh] I know.
