(1) Flash/Thunder was an adlib by me as a nod to WWII, one that I’m particularly proud of. (2) This scene was really difficult to film. Rymer was instrumental in getting me through it. Chief lost one of his closest guys and I lost my friend Alonzo from the show. #BSG15Years

(1) KOBOL – RAPTOR 1 – CRASH SITE
***** TYROL IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****

[Tyrol in the background while Baltar is hallucinating that he’s talking to Adama]


(2) KOBOL – FOREST

Cally: What do you say we take five? How much further, do you think?
(Tyrol doesn’t answer)
Cally: Tarn getting shot, it wasn’t your fault. You know that, right? Chief? Talk to me, mother-frakker!
Tyrol: (laughing) “Mother-frakker”?
(Both laughing)
Cally: (coughing) Socinus better appreciate this.
Tyrol: He’s probably lyin’ in the sun like some gods-damn emperor. He’s an idiot. (laughs)
Cally: I hope he’s okay.
Tyrol: He’ll be fine. He’s a tough kid. We just, gotta get him the medkit. Yeah, we gotta go, Cally.


(3) ELSEWHERE IN THE KOBOL FOREST

[Enter Tyrol and Cally]
Tyrol: Flash! Flash!
Crashdown: Thunder.
Tyrol: Go, go, go.
Crashdown: Here. Here. Here. Where’s Tarn? (Tyrol tosses him Tarn’s dogtags) What happened?
Tyrol: Cylons.
Crashdown: Were you followed?
Tyrol: No. How’s he doing?
Seelix: He’s not gonna make it.
Tyrol: What? What do you mean? What are you talking about? We’ve got the medkit; give him a shot. Give him another shot!
Seelix: Too late.
Tyrol: What do you mean it’s too late? I got you the medkit. What else do you want? So we go get the medicine you asked for. Tarn–for what? For this! Come on, you gotta do something. You have to do something.
Seelix: I can’t change that he’s gonna die, Chief. It’s gonna be slow and painful. And we can spare him that. We can spare him that if we give him the morpha from my kit and the one that you brought back.
Tyrol: What? No. El-tee? El-tee, come on.
Crashdown: He’s your man, Chief.
Tyrol: Give it to me. Give it to me. Hey, buddy. It’s Chief. How ya doin’?
Socinus: What’s goin’ on, Chief?
Tyrol: Well, you know. Just listenin’ to the birds.
Socinus: (groaning)
Tyrol: I, uh… I got a little somethin’ for the pain. Good news, buddy.
[He injects Socinus with the overdosed painkillers]
Tyrol: We got a rescue party here. The raptor just landed. We’re gonna put you on it, take you back to Galactica. Okay?
Socinus: I’m goin’ home?
Tyrol: Yeah. You’re goin’ home.
[Socinus dies peacefully]
