Adama is taking a lie detector test. He's asked if his name is William Adama, which he answers. He asked if he's an officer in the colonial fleet, which he answers. He's asked if he's a Cylon and reluctantly answers. The next question is whether he's ever taken money from a cash drawer. At that, he gets up and says that the job isn't worth the money if his word is going to be questioned. He says he'd rather spend what's left of his career commanding a broken down old ship.

He says that the last Raptor out tomorrow will drop him off on an island near one of the northern continents where it's cold, up in the highlands and there are no people. Tigh tells him that if something had been done to Ellen, he would have done what Tyrol did. Tyrol then walks off alone.

Tigh and Ellen talk at the strip club. Ellen asks where Bill is and Tigh says he's in the bathroom. Ellen asks him to buy her some drinks. Ellen is happy to celebrate his impending retirement. She says that all she's ever wanted is to for them to be together all the time rather than just brief periods like weekend liberties and two weeks leave a year.
