Battlestar Galactica (2003) · Season 4, Episode 12

Colonel Saul Tigh, Admiral William Adama and others in “Revelations”

[Tigh comes to Adama's quarters just before the extremely risky attempt to rescue the Baseship hostages begins]

Colonel Saul Tigh

Bill, you gotta scrub this mission.

Admiral William Adama

What the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the CIC.

Tigh

The Cylons will kill every godsdamn hostage before we put one pair of boots aboard their ship. Laura Roslin will be the next to die, Bill.

Adama

I'm looking for options. You got one?

Tigh

Yeah. I should've told you when I first found out, but I didn't have the guts.

Adama

What's wrong with you, Saul?

Tigh

You remember back at the nebula when I told you about that frakking music? I thought it was in the ship. I was wrong. It was a signal. Some kind of crazy, frakked-up Cylon signal switched me on. I can't turn it off.

Adama

[not wanting to understand] Switched you on.

Tigh

Like Boomer. I'm one of the Five.

Adama

The Five.

Tigh

One of the Cylons D'Anna's after.

Adama

[rising from his desk] Quit frakking with me. Colonel, I've known you for 30 years. When I met you, you had hair. I've never heard of a Cylon aging.

Tigh

Doesn't mean they don't. Before the attack on the Colonies, we didn't know the skinjobs existed. Turns out there's another kind of Cylon we didn't know about, and I'm one of them.

Adama

[desperate] On New Caprica, you were in captivity. They did something to you, they... An implant, a post-hypnotic suggestion that makes you feel this way. Let's go talk to Doc Cottle...

Tigh

[grabs Adama by the shoulders] Listen to me! It is not a delusion. It is not a chip in my head. I am a Cylon. I've fooled you for months now. I didn't want to, but I did.

Adama

Get your hands off of me.

Tigh

[releasing him] If I'd had the guts to airlock myself when I first found out, we wouldn't be in this mess. But that's the way out. Not this suicidal attack. I am one of the Final Five. D'Anna will back down if you threaten to flush me out an airlock.
