1
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:22,771
Space, the final frontier.

2
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:27,192
These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.

3
00:00:27,402 --> 00:00:32,698
To explore strange new worlds,

4
00:00:33,158 --> 00:00:37,411
to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

5
00:00:37,787 --> 00:00:42,291
to boldly go where no one
has gone before.

6
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:34,111
Captain's log, stardate 41153.7.

7
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,030
Our destination is planet Deneb IV,

8
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,244
beyond which lies the great
unexplored mass of the galaxy.

9
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:44,580
As you ordered, sir.

10
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:47,749
My orders are to examine Farpoint,

11
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:51,670
a starbase built there
by the inhabitants of that world.

12
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,174
Meanwhile, I'm becoming better
acquainted with my new command,

13
00:02:55,383 --> 00:02:58,677
this Galaxy-class USS Enterprise.

14
00:03:02,056 --> 00:03:06,101
I am still somewhat in awe
of its size and complexity.

15
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:10,397
As for my crew,
we are short in several key positions,

16
00:03:10,607 --> 00:03:12,983
most notably, a first officer.

17
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,073
But I am informed
that a highly experienced man,

18
00:03:15,236 --> 00:03:18,989
one Commander William Riker,
will be waiting to join the ship

19
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,366
at our Deneb IV destination.

20
00:03:21,576 --> 00:03:25,537
You will agree, Data,
that Starfleet's orders are difficult.

21
00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:27,164
Difficult?

22
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:29,917
Simply solve the mystery
of Farpoint Station.

23
00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:31,960
As simple as that.

24
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:36,340
Farpoint Station.
Even the name sounds mysterious.

25
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:37,591
It's hardly simple, Data,

26
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,344
to negotiate a friendly agreement
for Starfleet to use the base

27
00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:42,429
while, at the same time, snoop around

28
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,140
finding out how and why
the life-form there built it.

29
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:49,686
Inquiry. The word "snoop"?

30
00:03:50,146 --> 00:03:51,980
Data, how can you be programmed

31
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:54,233
as a virtual encyclopedia
of human information

32
00:03:54,442 --> 00:03:56,652
without knowing a simple word
like snoop?

33
00:03:58,488 --> 00:04:02,407
A kind of human behavior
I was not designed to emulate.

34
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:09,539
It means, uh, to spy, to sneak.

35
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:12,334
Ah, to seek covertly, to go stealthily,

36
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:14,670
- to slink, slither...
- Exactly, yes.

37
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,089
- ...glide, creep, skulk, pussyfoot, gum...
- Yes.

38
00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:18,507
- ...shoe.
- Captain.

39
00:04:20,885 --> 00:04:22,886
I'm sensing a...

40
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:26,765
A powerful mind.

41
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,146
Something strange
on this detector circuit.

42
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:46,451
It registers as solid, captain.

43
00:04:46,661 --> 00:04:50,789
Or an incredibly powerful forcefield. If
we collide with either, it could be very...

44
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:53,959
Shut off that damn noise!
Go to yellow alert.

45
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:05,178
Shields and deflectors up, sir.

46
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:22,279
Reverse power, full stop.

47
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:24,489
Controls to full stop, sir.

48
00:05:36,252 --> 00:05:37,836
Now reading full stop, sir.

49
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:54,561
Thou art notified that thy kind hath
infiltrated the galaxy too far already.

50
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:58,440
Thou art directed to return
to thine own solar system immediately.

51
00:06:00,234 --> 00:06:02,861
That's quite a directive.

52
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:06,365
Would you mind identifying
what you are?

53
00:06:06,574 --> 00:06:08,617
We call ourselves the Q.

54
00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:11,495
Or thou mayst call me that.

55
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,205
It's all much the same thing.

56
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:20,837
I present myself to thee
as a fellow ship captain

57
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:23,173
that thou mayst better understand me.

58
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:25,509
Go back whence thou camest.

59
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:26,760
Stay where thou art.

60
00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:40,107
- Data, call medics.
- He's frozen.

61
00:06:42,151 --> 00:06:45,737
He would not have injured you. Do
you recognize this? The stun setting?

62
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:48,782
Knowing humans as thou dost, captain,

63
00:06:48,991 --> 00:06:51,243
wouldst thou be captured helpless
by them?

64
00:06:52,453 --> 00:06:56,665
Now, go back
or thou shalt most certainly die.

65
00:07:10,888 --> 00:07:12,848
Captain's log, supplementary.

66
00:07:13,057 --> 00:07:16,518
The frozen form of Lieutenant Torres
has been rushed to Sickbay.

67
00:07:16,727 --> 00:07:20,439
The question now
is the incredible power of the Q being.

68
00:07:21,023 --> 00:07:23,108
Do we dare oppose it?

69
00:07:23,317 --> 00:07:28,071
Captain,
thy little centuries go by so rapidly.

70
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:32,159
Perhaps thou
will better understand this.

71
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:38,915
Actually,
the issue at stake is patriotism.

72
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,626
You must return to your world
and put an end to the commies.

73
00:07:41,836 --> 00:07:43,628
All it takes are a few good men.

74
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:47,632
What?
That nonsense is centuries behind us.

75
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:51,136
But you can't deny that you're still
a dangerous, savage, child race.

76
00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:53,221
Most certainly I deny it.

77
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:59,603
I agree we still were when humans
wore costumes like that, 400 years ago.

78
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,521
At which time you slaughtered millions

79
00:08:01,731 --> 00:08:05,317
in silly arguments about how to divide
the resources of your little world.

80
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:06,651
And 400 years before that,

81
00:08:06,861 --> 00:08:10,530
you were murdering each other
in quarrels over tribal god images.

82
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:13,492
Since then, there are no indications
that humans will ever change.

83
00:08:13,701 --> 00:08:16,578
But even when we wore costumes
like that,

84
00:08:16,787 --> 00:08:19,039
we'd already started
to make rapid progress.

85
00:08:19,248 --> 00:08:22,209
Oh, yeah? You wanna review
your rapid progress?

86
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,007
Rapid progress.

87
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:33,595
To where humans learned
to control their military with drugs.

88
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:38,016
Sir, Sickbay reports
Lieutenant Torres' condition is better.

89
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:42,145
Oh, concern for one's fellow comrade.

90
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:43,563
How touching.

91
00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:46,775
And now a personal request, sir.
Permission to clean up the Bridge.

92
00:08:46,984 --> 00:08:48,184
Lieutenant Worf is right, sir.

93
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,401
As security chief,
I can't just stand here and let...

94
00:08:50,571 --> 00:08:52,113
Yes you can, Lieutenant Yar.

95
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:57,494
Oh, better.

96
00:08:57,703 --> 00:08:59,955
And later,
on finally reaching deep space,

97
00:09:00,164 --> 00:09:02,958
humans, of course,
found enemies to fight out there too.

98
00:09:03,167 --> 00:09:05,043
And to broaden those struggles,

99
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:08,088
you again found allies
for still more murdering.

100
00:09:08,422 --> 00:09:12,008
The same old story, all over again.

101
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:15,762
No. The same old story
is the one we're meeting now.

102
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:20,809
Self-righteous life-forms who are eager
not to learn, but to prosecute.

103
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:23,895
To judge anything they don't understand
or can't tolerate.

104
00:09:24,105 --> 00:09:27,148
What an interesting idea,
prosecute and judge.

105
00:09:27,358 --> 00:09:30,235
Suppose it turns out we understand
you humans only too well?

106
00:09:31,195 --> 00:09:34,322
We've no fear of what the true facts
about us will reveal.

107
00:09:34,532 --> 00:09:37,492
Facts about you?
Splendid. Splendid, captain.

108
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:40,745
You're a veritable fountain
of good ideas.

109
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,455
There are preparations to make.

110
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:47,252
But when we next meet, captain,
we'll proceed exactly as you suggest.

111
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:56,344
Sir, respectfully submit,
our only choice is to fight.

112
00:09:56,554 --> 00:09:58,013
Fight or try to escape.

113
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:00,849
Sense anything, commander?

114
00:10:01,058 --> 00:10:05,812
Its mind is much too powerful.
Recommend we avoid contact.

115
00:10:09,317 --> 00:10:12,402
From this point, no station aboard,
repeat, no station for any reason,

116
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,779
will make use of transmitted signals
or intercom.

117
00:10:16,907 --> 00:10:18,408
We'll try and take them by surprise.

118
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:21,411
Let's see
what this Galaxy-class starship can do.

119
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:25,165
Lieutenant, inform engine room
to prepare for maximum acceleration.

120
00:10:25,374 --> 00:10:26,750
- Aye, sir.
- Record search, Data.

121
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:30,754
Results of detaching saucer section
at high-warp velocity.

122
00:10:31,213 --> 00:10:33,131
Inadvisable at any warp speed, sir.

123
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:35,508
Search theoretical.

124
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:41,097
It is possible.
But absolutely no margin for error.

125
00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:45,185
Using printout only, notify all decks
to prepare for maximum acceleration.

126
00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:47,854
"Maximum," you're entitled to know,

127
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:51,191
means that we'll be pushing our engines
well beyond safety limits.

128
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,694
Our hope is to surprise
whatever that is out there.

129
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:56,655
Try and outrun it.

130
00:10:56,864 --> 00:11:00,241
Our only other option

131
00:11:00,451 --> 00:11:05,163
is to tuck tail between our legs
and return to Earth as they demand.

132
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:10,043
The centrifugal variable
cross-mechanism operating at 6.612.

133
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:12,812
We're currently measuring the
magnitude of the inertial velocity.

134
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:16,675
Run a transporter check at 0400.
It's on an elliptical orbit.

135
00:11:16,884 --> 00:11:18,885
Inertial reference coordinate system, go.

136
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:21,012
Some of the solid particles are...

137
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:27,519
Engine room ready, sir.

138
00:11:27,728 --> 00:11:30,563
The board shows green, captain. All go.

139
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:32,607
Stand by.

140
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:34,734
Engage.

141
00:12:05,474 --> 00:12:07,767
Warp 9.2.

142
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:13,481
351, mark 11, sir.
Steady on that.

143
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:16,568
The hostile is now giving chase, sir.
Accelerating fast.

144
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:25,201
We're now at warp 9.3, sir,
which takes us past the red line.

145
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:26,953
Continue accelerating.

146
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:31,708
Counselor, at this point, I'm open
to guesses about what we've just met.

147
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:36,254
It felt like something beyond
what we'd consider a life-form.

148
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:37,881
Beyond?

149
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:43,845
Very, very advanced, sir,
or certainly very, very different.

150
00:12:44,054 --> 00:12:45,722
We're at 9.4, sir.

151
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:48,141
Hostile is now beginning
to overtake us, sir.

152
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:49,392
You sure?

153
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,978
Hostile's velocity is
already warp 9.6, sir.

154
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:53,628
Shall I put them on the main viewer?

155
00:12:53,814 --> 00:12:55,857
Reverse angle.

156
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:02,947
Magnifying viewer image.

157
00:13:06,994 --> 00:13:09,204
Hostile's velocity is 9.7, sir.

158
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,498
Worf, inform the engine room
that we need more.

159
00:13:11,707 --> 00:13:14,292
Engine room attempting
to comply, sir, but they caution us...

160
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:16,753
Go to yellow alert,
arm aft photon torpedoes,

161
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,464
- place them on ready status.
- Torpedoes to ready, sir.

162
00:13:22,343 --> 00:13:24,469
Hostile now at warp 9.8, sir.

163
00:13:24,678 --> 00:13:27,013
Our velocity is only 9.5, sir.

164
00:13:27,223 --> 00:13:28,473
Projection, sir.

165
00:13:28,682 --> 00:13:31,559
We may be able to match
hostile's 9.8, sir.

166
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:35,146
But at extreme risk.

167
00:13:39,693 --> 00:13:42,111
Now reading the hostile at warp 9.9, sir.

168
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:43,988
Now hear this.

169
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:47,992
Urgent. All stations on all decks,

170
00:13:48,744 --> 00:13:50,787
prepare for emergency saucer sever.

171
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:58,920
You will command the saucer section,
lieutenant.

172
00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:02,549
I'm a Klingon, sir.

173
00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:05,260
For me to seek escape
when my captain goes into battle...

174
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:07,720
You are a Starfleet officer, lieutenant.

175
00:14:09,098 --> 00:14:10,890
Aye, sir.

176
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,184
Make the mark, Data.

177
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:29,993
Note in ship's log that at this startime

178
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:33,705
I'm transferring command
to the Battle Bridge.

179
00:14:41,422 --> 00:14:45,592
Captain's log, stardate 41153.7.

180
00:14:45,801 --> 00:14:48,636
Preparing to detach saucer section,
so that families

181
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:52,682
and the majority of the ship's company
can seek relative safety,

182
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:56,019
while the vessel stardrive, containing
the Battle Bridge and main armaments,

183
00:14:56,228 --> 00:15:01,733
will turn back and confront the mystery
that is threatening us.

184
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,113
It's okay, honey.

185
00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:10,074
Check your name
at the computer terminals.

186
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:11,743
Yes, sir.

187
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:16,080
Lieutenant, your torpedoes must
detonate close enough to the hostile

188
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:18,917
- to blind it to the moment we separate.
- Understood, sir.

189
00:15:20,044 --> 00:15:21,419
All decks acknowledging, sir.

190
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:23,129
Worf, this is the captain.

191
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:26,090
At the moment of separation,
we will reverse power just enough

192
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:28,801
to get your saucer section
out ahead and clear of us.

193
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:30,219
Understood, captain.

194
00:15:31,221 --> 00:15:33,222
Torpedoes away, sir.

195
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,652
Begin countdown.

196
00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:49,489
- Mark.
- Starship separation,

197
00:15:49,698 --> 00:15:54,035
six, five, four, three,

198
00:15:54,328 --> 00:15:56,579
two, one.

199
00:16:41,542 --> 00:16:43,626
Separation is successful, sir.

200
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:23,207
Torpedoes have detonated, sir.

201
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:26,377
Let's come to a stop. Reverse power.

202
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:30,673
Reverse power. Decelerating.

203
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:36,179
Dead stop.

204
00:17:47,107 --> 00:17:50,735
We'll hold this position
and wait for them.

205
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:54,739
That will bring them here
in just minutes, sir.

206
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,993
Will we make a fight of it, captain?
If we at least damage their ship,

207
00:17:59,203 --> 00:18:01,162
- we have a chance...
- Lieutenant.

208
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:06,209
Are you recommending that we fight
a life-form that can do all those things?

209
00:18:10,005 --> 00:18:11,714
I'd like to hear your advice.

210
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:19,806
I spoke before I thought, sir.

211
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:24,393
We should look for some way to distract
them from going after the saucer.

212
00:18:25,437 --> 00:18:27,605
All forward motion stopped, sir.

213
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:30,149
Thank you, conn.

214
00:18:40,035 --> 00:18:44,997
Commander, signal the following
in all languages and on all frequencies.

215
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:47,250
We surrender.

216
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:52,338
State that we are not asking
for any terms or conditions.

217
00:18:52,548 --> 00:18:54,465
Aye, sir.

218
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,219
All language forms and frequencies.

219
00:19:50,981 --> 00:19:53,191
The prisoners will all stand.

220
00:20:05,078 --> 00:20:07,538
Historically intriguing, captain.

221
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:11,083
Very, very accurate.

222
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:15,671
Mid-21st century.
The post-atomic horror.

223
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:20,509
All present,

224
00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:26,682
stand and make respectful attention
to honored judge.

225
00:20:32,272 --> 00:20:36,317
Careful, sir.
This is not an illusion or a dream.

226
00:20:36,526 --> 00:20:39,070
But these courts belong in the past.

227
00:20:39,696 --> 00:20:43,532
I don't understand either,
but this is real.

228
00:20:43,742 --> 00:20:46,160
Get to your feet, criminals.

229
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:17,108
At least we're acquainted
with the judge, captain.

230
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:51,600
Attention.

231
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:54,937
On your feet! Attention!

232
00:22:05,699 --> 00:22:08,075
You're out of order.

233
00:22:25,552 --> 00:22:28,888
The prisoners will not be harmed,

234
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:33,768
until they're found guilty.

235
00:22:36,063 --> 00:22:37,229
Dispose of that.

236
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:49,075
Can we assume you mean
this will be a fair trial?

237
00:22:49,284 --> 00:22:51,911
Yes, absolutely equitable.

238
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:04,131
Before this gracious court
now appear these prisoners

239
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:09,512
to answer for the multiple
and grievous savageries of the species.

240
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:12,556
How plead you, criminal?

241
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:15,142
If I may, captain?

242
00:23:16,686 --> 00:23:18,312
Objection, Your Honor.

243
00:23:18,522 --> 00:23:21,774
In the year 2036,
the New United Nations declared that

244
00:23:21,983 --> 00:23:24,276
no Earth citizen could be made
to answer

245
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:26,737
for the crimes of his race or forbears.

246
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:28,197
Objection denied.

247
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:33,786
This is a court of the year 2079,
by which time more rapid progress

248
00:23:33,995 --> 00:23:37,289
had caused all United Earth nonsense
to be abolished.

249
00:23:37,499 --> 00:23:39,083
- Tasha, no.
- I must.

250
00:23:39,501 --> 00:23:43,421
Because I grew up in a world
that allowed things like this court,

251
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:47,591
and it was people like these
that saved me from it.

252
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:53,097
This so-called court should get
down on its knees to what Starfleet is.

253
00:23:53,515 --> 00:23:56,183
What it represents.

254
00:24:13,743 --> 00:24:16,412
You barbarian.

255
00:24:16,621 --> 00:24:19,206
- This woman has done nothing wrong!
- Criminals, keep silent!

256
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:20,936
You've got a lot to learn about humans

257
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:24,795
if you think you can torture us
or frighten us into silence.

258
00:24:25,046 --> 00:24:27,923
- Will she live?
- Uncertain.

259
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,934
When he froze Lieutenant Torres
on the Bridge,

260
00:24:30,135 --> 00:24:31,719
we had our Sickbay
to help thaw him out.

261
00:24:31,928 --> 00:24:34,305
You will answer the charges, criminal.

262
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:36,765
Or what? Or this?

263
00:24:37,225 --> 00:24:40,436
Or death? Or worse?

264
00:24:40,687 --> 00:24:43,564
You promised
the prisoners will not be harmed.

265
00:24:43,773 --> 00:24:46,275
We plead nothing
so long as you break your own rules.

266
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:50,279
I suggest you center your attention
on this trial, captain.

267
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:52,323
It may be your only hope.

268
00:24:52,532 --> 00:24:54,658
I suggest you are now having
second thoughts about it.

269
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:58,996
You are considering that if you conduct
a fair trial, which was your promise,

270
00:24:59,206 --> 00:25:00,915
- you may lose.
- Lose?

271
00:25:01,124 --> 00:25:03,751
Yes, even though you're judge
and prosecutor.

272
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,336
And jury.

273
00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:08,672
Accepted,

274
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:10,819
so long as you keep to your agreement.

275
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:13,344
And assaulting a prisoner
is hardly a fair trial.

276
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:17,389
This is a merciful court.

277
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,710
Silence!

278
00:25:48,463 --> 00:25:51,090
Continuing these proceedings,
I must caution you

279
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:53,676
that legal trickery is not permitted.

280
00:25:53,885 --> 00:25:56,762
- This a court of...
- A court of fact.

281
00:25:56,972 --> 00:26:00,599
We humans know our past,
even when we're ashamed of it.

282
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:03,978
I recognize this court system

283
00:26:04,187 --> 00:26:06,772
as the one that agreed
with that line from Shakespeare:

284
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:09,692
- "Kill all the lawyers."
- Which was done.

285
00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:12,278
Leading to the rule,
guilty until proven innocent.

286
00:26:12,487 --> 00:26:16,073
Of course, bringing the innocent to trial
would be unfair.

287
00:26:16,283 --> 00:26:20,661
You will now answer to the charge
of being a grievously savage race.

288
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:23,163
"Grievously savage"
could mean anything.

289
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:25,416
I will answer only specific charges.

290
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:29,461
Are you certain you want
a full disclosure of human ugliness?

291
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:32,715
So be it, fool.

292
00:26:32,924 --> 00:26:34,842
Present the charges.

293
00:26:35,051 --> 00:26:39,471
Criminal,
you will read the charges to the court.

294
00:26:53,028 --> 00:26:56,614
I see no charges against us,
Your Honor.

295
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
You are out of order.

296
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,177
Soldiers, you will press those triggers

297
00:27:18,386 --> 00:27:21,847
if this criminal answers with any word
other than "guilty."

298
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,492
Criminal, how plead you?

299
00:27:45,747 --> 00:27:47,748
Guilty.

300
00:27:55,048 --> 00:27:57,174
Provisionally.

301
00:27:58,301 --> 00:28:01,220
The court will hear the provision.

302
00:28:02,889 --> 00:28:06,350
We question whether this court is
abiding by its own trial instructions.

303
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:08,977
Have I permission to have
Commander Data repeat the record?

304
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,387
There'll be no legal trickery.

305
00:28:10,563 --> 00:28:12,481
These will be your own words,
Your Honor.

306
00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:15,442
What exactly followed
His Honor's statement

307
00:28:15,652 --> 00:28:17,172
that the prisoners will not be harmed?

308
00:28:17,362 --> 00:28:19,029
Yes, sir.

309
00:28:19,781 --> 00:28:22,449
The captain had asked the question:

310
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:26,620
"Can we assume you mean
this will be a fair trial?"

311
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:30,082
And in reply the judge stated:

312
00:28:30,291 --> 00:28:33,460
"Yes, absolutely equitable."

313
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:36,880
Irrelevant testimony. Entirely irrelevant.

314
00:28:39,342 --> 00:28:41,510
All right!

315
00:28:42,762 --> 00:28:45,931
We agree there is evidence
to support the court's contention

316
00:28:46,141 --> 00:28:48,142
that humans have been savage.

317
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,312
Therefore, I say, test us!

318
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:56,066
Test whether
this is presently true of humans.

319
00:28:56,276 --> 00:28:59,445
I see. I see.

320
00:28:59,654 --> 00:29:02,364
And so you petition the court
to accept you and your comrades

321
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,783
as proof of what humanity has become?

322
00:29:05,535 --> 00:29:08,287
There must be many ways
we can be tested.

323
00:29:08,496 --> 00:29:10,038
We have a long mission ahead of us.

324
00:29:10,248 --> 00:29:13,250
Another brilliant suggestion, captain.

325
00:29:13,460 --> 00:29:16,211
But your test hardly requires
a long mission.

326
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:19,590
Your immediate destination
offers far more challenge

327
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:21,925
than you can possibly imagine.

328
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:28,140
Yes, this Farpoint Station
will be an excellent test.

329
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:33,687
All present, respectfully stand.

330
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:41,195
This court is adjourned
to allow the criminals to be tested.

331
00:29:43,072 --> 00:29:46,450
This honorable court is adjourned.

332
00:29:49,996 --> 00:29:51,455
Stand respectfully.

333
00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:10,766
Captain, you may find
that you are not nearly clever enough

334
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:13,310
to deal with what lies ahead for you.

335
00:30:14,020 --> 00:30:18,774
It may have been better
to accept sentence here.

336
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:36,458
What is present course, conn?

337
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:38,627
It's what it's been all along, sir.

338
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:41,755
Direct heading to Farpoint Station.

339
00:30:42,048 --> 00:30:44,591
Confirmed. We are on that heading, sir.

340
00:30:44,801 --> 00:30:47,177
You know anything
about Farpoint Station, sir?

341
00:30:47,387 --> 00:30:48,846
Sounds like a fairly dull place.

342
00:30:49,764 --> 00:30:53,517
We've heard that we may find it
rather interesting.

343
00:31:02,485 --> 00:31:08,407
Personal log, Commander
William Riker. Stardate 41153.7.

344
00:31:08,616 --> 00:31:11,618
The USS Hood has dropped me off
at Farpoint Station

345
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:15,080
where I await the arrival
of the new USS Enterprise,

346
00:31:15,290 --> 00:31:17,457
to which I have been assigned
as first officer.

347
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:21,169
Meanwhile, I've been asked to visit
the Farpoint administrator's office.

348
00:31:21,379 --> 00:31:23,630
In the old city.

349
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:25,507
Ah, Commander Riker,

350
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:28,510
I thought you'd want to know
we've still no word from your vessel.

351
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,679
I trust we've made your waiting
comfortable?

352
00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:34,683
- Luxurious is more like it.
- Good.

353
00:31:36,185 --> 00:31:37,227
Good.

354
00:31:37,645 --> 00:31:40,105
Would I seem ungrateful
if I asked for some information?

355
00:31:40,481 --> 00:31:41,523
Anything.

356
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:46,278
Fascinating, the advanced materials
used in constructing this space station.

357
00:31:46,487 --> 00:31:48,697
Your energy surplus must be
as abundant as I've heard.

358
00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:51,742
Geothermal energy is one of
the great blessings of this planet.

359
00:31:51,951 --> 00:31:54,244
I'll have all the details of that
sent to your quarters.

360
00:31:54,454 --> 00:31:57,706
Thank you.
But it still seems incredible to me

361
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:02,002
that you could've constructed this station
so rapidly and so...

362
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,546
So perfectly suited to our needs.

363
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:08,175
Would you care for an Earth delicacy,
commander?

364
00:32:08,384 --> 00:32:10,636
Well, if there's an apple...

365
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:13,221
I'm sorry, commander.

366
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:15,974
Oh, it doesn't matter.
What I was saying was...

367
00:32:16,976 --> 00:32:18,018
I'll be damned.

368
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:20,103
Ah, yes.

369
00:32:20,313 --> 00:32:23,398
There was another selection here.

370
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,694
Groppler, I could have sworn
this wasn't here a minute ago.

371
00:32:28,571 --> 00:32:32,282
And did your failure to notice it
make it unwelcome?

372
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:34,701
Not at all, Groppler.

373
00:32:34,911 --> 00:32:37,788
I trust it will be the same
with Farpoint Station, commander.

374
00:32:37,997 --> 00:32:44,294
A few easily answered questions about it
won't make Starfleet appreciate it less.

375
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:47,339
And it's delicious. Thank you.

376
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:49,758
- Good morning, Groppler Zorn.
- Good morning.

377
00:32:58,101 --> 00:33:01,311
You have been told not to do that.

378
00:33:01,521 --> 00:33:03,855
Why can't you understand?

379
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:06,733
It will arouse their suspicion.

380
00:33:06,943 --> 00:33:10,737
And if that happens,
we will have to punish you.

381
00:33:10,947 --> 00:33:14,074
We will, I promise you.

382
00:33:22,083 --> 00:33:24,334
Dr. Crusher.

383
00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:30,882
Mother. It's Commander Riker.

384
00:33:31,092 --> 00:33:33,969
- Hello, Wes. Enjoying Farpoint Station?
- Yes, sir.

385
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:36,179
I saw you,
I thought I might join you for a stroll.

386
00:33:36,389 --> 00:33:38,682
Actually, we were about
to do some shopping.

387
00:33:38,891 --> 00:33:41,101
I've been meaning
to visit the mall myself.

388
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:43,311
Of course.

389
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:48,984
If you're wondering about Mom,
Commander Riker, she's not unfriendly.

390
00:33:49,193 --> 00:33:50,873
She's just shy
around men she doesn't know.

391
00:33:51,070 --> 00:33:53,947
Wesley. I believe that means
he would like us to be friends.

392
00:33:54,157 --> 00:33:56,241
Oh, I'm willing, doctor.

393
00:33:57,410 --> 00:33:59,490
Although we're not officially part
of the Enterprise,

394
00:33:59,662 --> 00:34:02,343
I thought there might be something
useful we could do while we wait.

395
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:03,582
Useful? How, commander?

396
00:34:03,791 --> 00:34:06,251
Investigating things
that I've noticed since I've been here.

397
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:07,701
The last was a piece of fruit...

398
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:10,319
- Gold would be lovely with this.
- I had asked for an apple...

399
00:34:10,506 --> 00:34:12,841
I am sure, commander,
there are reasons for a first officer

400
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:16,261
to want to demonstrate his energy
and alertness to a new captain,

401
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:20,557
but since my duty and interests
are outside the command structure...

402
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:28,732
Isn't it remarkable he happened to have
exactly what you asked for?

403
00:34:29,942 --> 00:34:31,610
Thank you.

404
00:34:32,028 --> 00:34:33,820
I'll take the entire bolt.

405
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:39,326
Send it to our starship when it arrives.
Charged to Dr. Crusher.

406
00:34:46,709 --> 00:34:47,876
Let's see, where were we?

407
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,586
I was accusing you
of inventing work

408
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,630
in order to curry favor
with our new captain.

409
00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:52,923
I apologize.

410
00:34:53,132 --> 00:34:56,426
Mom, that gold pattern wasn't there.

411
00:34:56,636 --> 00:34:58,837
Maybe this is something Jean-Luc
would like looked into.

412
00:34:59,013 --> 00:35:01,056
Jean-Luc Picard?

413
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:03,225
You know the captain.

414
00:35:04,977 --> 00:35:08,271
When I was little,
he brought my father's body home to us.

415
00:35:09,524 --> 00:35:11,525
Yes, Wes. Long, long ago.

416
00:35:12,860 --> 00:35:15,362
A pleasure to meet you, commander.
Well, excuse us.

417
00:35:15,571 --> 00:35:17,114
My pleasure, doctor.

418
00:35:17,323 --> 00:35:18,532
- Wes?
- Sir?

419
00:35:18,741 --> 00:35:20,242
See you on board.

420
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:22,577
Yes, sir.

421
00:35:22,912 --> 00:35:24,871
Sir, the Enterprise is arriving but...

422
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:26,706
Is this an official report, lieutenant?

423
00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:28,166
Ahem. Sorry, commander.

424
00:35:28,376 --> 00:35:30,710
Sir, Lieutenant La Forge reporting
the Enterprise arriving,

425
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,796
but without the saucer section, sir.

426
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:35,006
Stardrive section only?
What happened?

427
00:35:35,174 --> 00:35:38,093
I don't know, sir. Captain Picard
has signaled for you to beam up.

428
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:41,471
Our new captain doesn't waste time.
It's a good idea.

429
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:43,640
- Thank you, lieutenant.
- Aye, sir.

430
00:35:46,686 --> 00:35:50,397
Enterprise, this is Commander Riker
at Farpoint Station.

431
00:35:50,606 --> 00:35:52,774
Standing by to beam up.

432
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,224
Lieutenant Yar of Security, sir.

433
00:36:26,434 --> 00:36:29,436
Captain Picard will see you
on the Battle Bridge.

434
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:34,524
With the saucer gone,

435
00:36:34,692 --> 00:36:36,893
I assume something interesting
happened on the way here.

436
00:36:37,069 --> 00:36:38,695
Battle Bridge.

437
00:36:38,905 --> 00:36:41,865
That's for the captain to explain, sir.

438
00:36:42,825 --> 00:36:43,867
Do we have clearance?

439
00:36:44,076 --> 00:36:48,079
- Aye, sir, into standard parking orbit.
- Make it so.

440
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:51,291
Commander Riker, sir.

441
00:36:53,085 --> 00:36:55,879
Riker, W.T. reporting as ordered, sir.

442
00:36:56,088 --> 00:36:58,673
- Is the viewer ready?
- All set up, sir.

443
00:36:58,883 --> 00:37:00,675
We'll first bring you up to date

444
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:03,345
on a little adventure we had
on our way here, commander.

445
00:37:03,554 --> 00:37:04,596
Then we'll talk.

446
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:12,520
Welcome aboard.

447
00:37:14,774 --> 00:37:16,733
This way, sir.

448
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:30,372
Thou art directed to return

449
00:37:30,539 --> 00:37:33,250
to thine own solar system immediately.

450
00:37:34,460 --> 00:37:39,130
Go back
or thou shalt most certainly die.

451
00:37:39,548 --> 00:37:42,425
But you can't deny that you're still
a dangerous, savage, child race.

452
00:37:42,635 --> 00:37:47,889
Message from the saucer module, sir.
It will arrive here in 51 minutes.

453
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:50,019
Inform them we'll connect
as soon as they arrive.

454
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,477
And send the commander to me
when he's finished.

455
00:37:52,687 --> 00:37:54,354
Yes, sir.

456
00:37:55,022 --> 00:37:57,223
And 400 years before that,
you were murdering each other

457
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,609
in quarrels over tribal god images.

458
00:38:00,236 --> 00:38:03,113
Since then there are no indications
that humans will ever change.

459
00:38:03,322 --> 00:38:04,781
There are preparations to make.

460
00:38:04,991 --> 00:38:10,328
But when we next meet, captain,
we'll proceed exactly as you suggest.

461
00:38:22,633 --> 00:38:25,468
He calls that a little adventure?

462
00:38:26,887 --> 00:38:28,305
Come.

463
00:38:37,857 --> 00:38:39,777
Not exactly a run-of-the-mill happening,
captain.

464
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:45,655
It seems we're alive only because
we have been placed on probation.

465
00:38:45,948 --> 00:38:47,532
A very serious kind of probation.

466
00:38:49,285 --> 00:38:50,327
Go.

467
00:38:50,536 --> 00:38:53,705
The saucer module
now entering orbit with us, sir.

468
00:38:53,914 --> 00:38:55,832
Acknowledge.

469
00:38:57,501 --> 00:39:01,338
Commander Riker will conduct
a manual docking. Picard out.

470
00:39:01,547 --> 00:39:02,756
Sir?

471
00:39:02,965 --> 00:39:05,008
You've reported in, haven't you?
You are qualified?

472
00:39:05,217 --> 00:39:07,635
- Yes, sir.
- Then I mean now, commander.

473
00:39:21,734 --> 00:39:26,404
They say you will be doing this
manually, sir. No automation.

474
00:39:26,614 --> 00:39:28,448
As ordered.

475
00:39:52,681 --> 00:39:54,557
Velocity to one-half meter per second.

476
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:06,111
Adjust pitch angle,
negative three degrees.

477
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:20,375
Watch your roll angle, conn.

478
00:40:37,977 --> 00:40:40,478
All stations, prepare for reconnection.

479
00:40:56,036 --> 00:40:57,537
Thrusters to station keeping.

480
00:40:57,830 --> 00:41:01,416
All velocity zero.
Her inertia should do the job now.

481
00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:08,131
Lock up, now.

482
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:56,596
A fairly routine maneuver,
but you handled it quite well.

483
00:41:57,473 --> 00:42:00,808
Thank you, sir.
I hope I show some promise.

484
00:42:01,977 --> 00:42:03,978
I do have some questions for you,
however.

485
00:42:04,730 --> 00:42:06,272
Yes, sir. I thought you might.

486
00:42:07,399 --> 00:42:11,236
I see in your file that Captain DeSoto
thinks very highly of you.

487
00:42:11,445 --> 00:42:12,654
One curious thing, however,

488
00:42:12,863 --> 00:42:16,324
you refused to let him beam down
to Altair III.

489
00:42:16,992 --> 00:42:19,536
In my opinion, sir,
Altair III was too dangerous

490
00:42:19,745 --> 00:42:21,329
to risk exposing the captain.

491
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:23,706
I see.

492
00:42:23,916 --> 00:42:25,583
Captain's rank means nothing to you.

493
00:42:26,126 --> 00:42:28,336
Rather the reverse, sir.

494
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:30,797
But a captain's life means
a great deal more to me.

495
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:37,637
Isn't it just possible that
you don't get to be a Starfleet captain

496
00:42:37,846 --> 00:42:41,307
without knowing whether it's safe
to beam down or not?

497
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:43,518
Isn't it a little presumptuous
of a first officer

498
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:47,146
to second-guess
his captain's judgment?

499
00:42:48,691 --> 00:42:50,567
Permission to speak candidly, sir?

500
00:42:51,485 --> 00:42:53,236
Always.

501
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:57,407
Having been a first officer yourself,

502
00:42:57,575 --> 00:42:59,742
you know that assuming
that responsibility

503
00:42:59,952 --> 00:43:03,454
must, by definition,
include the safety of the captain.

504
00:43:03,664 --> 00:43:06,666
I have no problem
with following any rules you lay down,

505
00:43:06,875 --> 00:43:08,626
short of compromising your safety.

506
00:43:08,836 --> 00:43:11,337
And you don't intend to back off
from that position?

507
00:43:12,298 --> 00:43:13,339
No, sir.

508
00:43:16,135 --> 00:43:18,219
One further thing.

509
00:43:19,096 --> 00:43:21,764
- A special favor.
- Anything, sir.

510
00:43:21,974 --> 00:43:24,142
Using the same strength
you showed with Captain DeSoto,

511
00:43:24,351 --> 00:43:25,991
I would appreciate it
if you could keep me

512
00:43:26,186 --> 00:43:29,022
from making an ass of myself
with children.

513
00:43:29,690 --> 00:43:31,899
- Sir?
- I'm not a family man, Riker,

514
00:43:32,109 --> 00:43:36,029
and yet, Starfleet has given me a ship
with children aboard.

515
00:43:36,238 --> 00:43:38,656
- Yes, sir.
- And I, uh...

516
00:43:39,074 --> 00:43:42,410
I don't feel comfortable with children.

517
00:43:43,203 --> 00:43:47,582
But since a captain needs
an image of geniality,

518
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,084
you're to see that's what I project.

519
00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:52,086
Aye, sir.

520
00:43:53,672 --> 00:43:57,050
Welcome to the Enterprise,
Commander Riker.

521
00:44:03,057 --> 00:44:06,225
Naturally, I've heard of your case.
The VISOR appliance you wear is...

522
00:44:06,393 --> 00:44:09,145
Is a remarkable piece
of bioelectronic engineering

523
00:44:09,355 --> 00:44:11,981
by which I quote "see"
much of the EM spectrum

524
00:44:12,191 --> 00:44:13,900
ranging from simple heat
and infrared

525
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:16,027
through radio waves,
et cetera, et cetera,

526
00:44:16,236 --> 00:44:20,698
and forgive me if I've said and listened
to this a thousand times before.

527
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:22,992
You've been blind all your life?

528
00:44:23,202 --> 00:44:24,952
I was born this way.

529
00:44:25,162 --> 00:44:27,330
And you've felt pain
all the years you've used this?

530
00:44:27,539 --> 00:44:32,001
Mm. They say it's because I use
my natural sensors in different ways.

531
00:44:34,755 --> 00:44:36,297
Well, I see two choices.

532
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:38,007
The first is painkillers.

533
00:44:38,217 --> 00:44:41,177
- Which would affect how this works.
- Mm-hm.

534
00:44:41,387 --> 00:44:42,595
No.

535
00:44:42,805 --> 00:44:45,264
- And choice number two?
- Exploratory surgery.

536
00:44:45,474 --> 00:44:48,017
Desensitize the brain areas
troubling you.

537
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:50,436
Same difference.

538
00:44:50,729 --> 00:44:53,272
No, thank you, doctor.

539
00:44:54,274 --> 00:44:56,567
I understand.

540
00:44:56,860 --> 00:44:58,861
See you.

541
00:45:16,213 --> 00:45:18,673
- Yes, sir?
- Where will I find Commander Data?

542
00:45:19,174 --> 00:45:21,384
Commander Data
is on special assignment, sir.

543
00:45:21,593 --> 00:45:24,637
He's using our shuttlecraft
to transfer an admiral over to the Hood.

544
00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:25,888
An admiral?

545
00:45:26,098 --> 00:45:28,516
He's been aboard all day, sir,
checking over medical layout.

546
00:45:28,726 --> 00:45:30,935
Why a shuttlecraft?
Why wouldn't he just beam over?

547
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:32,311
I suppose he could, sir,

548
00:45:32,521 --> 00:45:35,565
but the admiral is a rather
remarkable man.

549
00:45:35,774 --> 00:45:40,069
Have you got some reason you want
my atoms scattered all over space, boy?

550
00:45:40,279 --> 00:45:41,696
No, sir. But at your age, sir,

551
00:45:41,905 --> 00:45:43,585
I thought you shouldn't have
to put up with

552
00:45:43,657 --> 00:45:45,218
the time and trouble of a shuttlecraft.

553
00:45:45,367 --> 00:45:47,702
- Hold it right there, boy.
- Sir?

554
00:45:47,911 --> 00:45:49,287
What about my age?

555
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,915
Sorry, sir, if that subject troubles you.

556
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:54,167
Troubles me?

557
00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:58,671
What's so damn troublesome
about not having died?

558
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:00,339
How old do you think I am, anyway?

559
00:46:00,674 --> 00:46:03,885
One hundred thirty-seven years,
admiral, according to Starfleet records.

560
00:46:05,804 --> 00:46:09,432
Explain how you remember that
so exactly.

561
00:46:09,808 --> 00:46:12,059
I remember every fact
I'm exposed to, sir.

562
00:46:16,315 --> 00:46:21,819
I don't see no points on your ears, boy,
but you sound like a Vulcan.

563
00:46:22,029 --> 00:46:23,362
No, sir.

564
00:46:23,572 --> 00:46:25,656
I'm an android.

565
00:46:26,074 --> 00:46:27,408
Hm.

566
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,412
Almost as bad.

567
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:34,096
I thought it was generally accepted, sir,

568
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:37,835
that Vulcans are an advanced
and most honorable race.

569
00:46:38,045 --> 00:46:40,046
They are, they are.

570
00:46:40,255 --> 00:46:42,381
And damn annoying, at times.

571
00:46:42,591 --> 00:46:43,925
Yes, sir.

572
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:48,888
Well, this is a new ship,
but she's got the right name.

573
00:46:49,097 --> 00:46:52,183
- Now, you remember that, you hear?
- I will, sir.

574
00:46:52,392 --> 00:46:54,894
You treat her like a lady,

575
00:46:56,021 --> 00:46:59,148
and she'll always bring you home.

576
00:47:29,263 --> 00:47:30,864
Did you signal the Hood,
Commander Riker?

577
00:47:31,056 --> 00:47:34,267
Your exact message.
"Bon voyage, mon ami."

578
00:47:34,476 --> 00:47:35,810
What was the reply, computer?

579
00:47:36,019 --> 00:47:40,189
You're wasting time, captain.
Or did you think I was gone?

580
00:47:40,899 --> 00:47:42,692
Lieutenant.

581
00:47:44,403 --> 00:47:46,612
Do you intend to blast a hole
in the viewer?

582
00:47:48,782 --> 00:47:53,369
If the purpose of this is to test humans,
Your Honor,

583
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:55,162
we must proceed in our own way.

584
00:47:55,372 --> 00:47:58,207
You are dilatory. You have 24 hours.

585
00:47:58,417 --> 00:48:03,588
Any further delay and you risk summary
judgment against you, captain.

586
00:48:05,007 --> 00:48:07,800
- Sorry, sir.
- You reacted fast, Mr. Worf.

587
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:10,094
But futilely.

588
00:48:10,304 --> 00:48:12,722
I will learn to do better, sir.

589
00:48:13,098 --> 00:48:17,768
Of course you will.
We've a long voyage ahead us.

590
00:48:21,773 --> 00:48:23,107
What do we do now, captain?

591
00:48:23,317 --> 00:48:25,401
With them monitoring our every move
and every word.

592
00:48:25,611 --> 00:48:30,072
We do exactly what we'd do
if this Q never existed.

593
00:48:31,116 --> 00:48:35,953
If we're going to be damned,
let's be damned for what we really are.

594
00:48:38,081 --> 00:48:42,251
Personal log, stardate 41153.8.

595
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:45,755
Of the 24 hours Q allotted us
to prove ourselves,

596
00:48:45,964 --> 00:48:48,674
11 have now passed without incident.

597
00:48:48,884 --> 00:48:51,510
And yet, I cannot forget Q's prediction

598
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:55,056
that we will face some critical test.

599
00:48:55,265 --> 00:48:58,351
This planet's interior heat provides
an abundance of geothermal energy,

600
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,770
but it's about all
that this world does offer.

601
00:49:00,979 --> 00:49:03,147
And it's your belief
that this is what made it possible

602
00:49:03,357 --> 00:49:05,733
for them to construct this base
to Starfleet standards?

603
00:49:05,943 --> 00:49:08,945
Yes, sir. We have to assume that
they've been trading their surplus energy

604
00:49:09,154 --> 00:49:11,197
for the construction materials
used here.

605
00:49:11,406 --> 00:49:12,823
According to our ship's scans,

606
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:15,451
many of the materials used
are not found on this world.

607
00:49:15,661 --> 00:49:18,579
Perhaps it's like those incidents
you describe in your report

608
00:49:18,789 --> 00:49:21,624
as almost magical attempts
to please us.

609
00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:23,459
Those events did happen, sir.

610
00:49:25,837 --> 00:49:28,756
None of it
suggests anything threatening.

611
00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:32,885
If only every life-form
had as much desire to please.

612
00:49:33,804 --> 00:49:35,096
Ready to beam down?

613
00:49:35,305 --> 00:49:37,890
I'm looking forward to meeting
this Groppler Zorn.

614
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:41,852
I have a feeling there's more to it
than just trying to please us, sir.

615
00:49:42,062 --> 00:49:44,563
As if it's something Q is doing
to trick us?

616
00:49:44,773 --> 00:49:45,898
Over here.

617
00:49:46,108 --> 00:49:49,902
I've asked the counselor
to join us in this meeting.

618
00:49:50,654 --> 00:49:53,614
May I introduce our new first officer,
Commander William Riker.

619
00:49:53,824 --> 00:49:56,826
Commander Riker, this is
our ship's counselor, Deanna Troi.

620
00:49:58,537 --> 00:50:02,164
Do you remember what
I taught you, Imzadi?

621
00:50:03,709 --> 00:50:07,003
Can you still sense my thoughts?

622
00:50:07,587 --> 00:50:09,714
A pleasure, commander.

623
00:50:11,967 --> 00:50:13,801
Likewise, counselor.

624
00:50:14,011 --> 00:50:16,595
Have the two of you met before?

625
00:50:18,348 --> 00:50:20,349
We have, sir.

626
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:22,393
Excellent.

627
00:50:24,855 --> 00:50:29,108
I consider it important
for my key officers

628
00:50:29,317 --> 00:50:31,861
to know each other's abilities.

629
00:50:32,195 --> 00:50:34,321
We do, sir.

630
00:50:35,073 --> 00:50:36,824
We do.

631
00:50:37,617 --> 00:50:41,287
I too, could never say goodbye,
Imzadi.

632
00:50:51,673 --> 00:50:53,507
My crew and I need more information

633
00:50:53,717 --> 00:50:56,427
before we can make
our recommendations to Starfleet.

634
00:50:56,636 --> 00:50:58,387
No objections to that.

635
00:50:58,597 --> 00:51:02,349
But I'm puzzled over you bringing
a Betazoid to this meeting.

636
00:51:03,018 --> 00:51:05,728
If her purpose, sir,
is to probe my thoughts...

637
00:51:05,937 --> 00:51:09,231
I can sense only strong emotions,
Groppler.

638
00:51:09,441 --> 00:51:13,986
I'm only half Betazoid.
My father was a Starfleet officer.

639
00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:16,989
Well, I have nothing to hide, of course.

640
00:51:17,199 --> 00:51:21,494
Good, since we admire what we've seen
of your construction techniques.

641
00:51:21,703 --> 00:51:26,957
Starfleet may be interested in your
constructing starbases elsewhere also.

642
00:51:27,167 --> 00:51:29,752
We are not interested
in building other facilities.

643
00:51:29,961 --> 00:51:31,921
If I may, captain?

644
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:34,465
Then a trade, Groppler.
Some things that you need

645
00:51:34,674 --> 00:51:36,594
in return for lending us architects
and engineers

646
00:51:36,802 --> 00:51:38,427
who could demonstrate
your techniques.

647
00:51:39,846 --> 00:51:42,765
Bandi do not enjoy
leaving their home world.

648
00:51:43,308 --> 00:51:46,852
If Starfleet cannot accept
that small weakness,

649
00:51:47,062 --> 00:51:49,313
then we will be forced, unhappily,

650
00:51:49,523 --> 00:51:52,775
to seek an alliance
with someone like the Ferengi.

651
00:51:58,532 --> 00:52:01,158
Counselor, what is it?

652
00:52:01,451 --> 00:52:03,160
Do you want it described here, sir?

653
00:52:03,370 --> 00:52:06,080
Yes. No secrets here
if we're to be all friends.

654
00:52:06,289 --> 00:52:07,456
Agreed, Groppler?

655
00:52:07,666 --> 00:52:09,458
We ourselves have nothing to hide,
of course.

656
00:52:13,713 --> 00:52:18,676
Pain.

657
00:52:21,763 --> 00:52:23,931
Loneliness.

658
00:52:24,683 --> 00:52:27,518
Terrible loneliness.

659
00:52:29,354 --> 00:52:31,438
Despair.

660
00:52:35,193 --> 00:52:39,572
I'm not sensing the Groppler, sir,
or any of his people,

661
00:52:39,781 --> 00:52:43,159
but it's something very close to us here.

662
00:52:43,869 --> 00:52:46,871
The source of this, Groppler,
have you any idea?

663
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,539
No.

664
00:52:48,748 --> 00:52:50,958
No, absolutely not.

665
00:52:51,168 --> 00:52:54,253
And I find nothing helpful or productive
in any of this.

666
00:52:54,713 --> 00:52:56,839
And that's it? No other comment?

667
00:52:57,048 --> 00:52:58,591
Well, what do you expect of us?

668
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,801
We offer you a base
designed to your needs.

669
00:53:01,011 --> 00:53:03,220
Luxurious by even human standards.

670
00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:06,974
While evading
even our simplest questions about it.

671
00:53:07,225 --> 00:53:09,518
We'll adjourn for now,

672
00:53:10,645 --> 00:53:13,022
while we all reconsider our positions.

673
00:53:13,523 --> 00:53:17,568
Captain, the Ferengi would be
very interested in a base like this.

674
00:53:17,777 --> 00:53:22,823
Fine. Let's hope they find you as tasty
as they did their past associates.

675
00:53:35,003 --> 00:53:37,463
Ensign, could you help me find
Commander Data?

676
00:53:37,672 --> 00:53:39,273
I understand he's somewhere
on this deck.

677
00:53:39,466 --> 00:53:43,844
This way, sir. You must be new
to these Galaxy-class starships, sir.

678
00:53:44,971 --> 00:53:47,765
Tell me the location
of Commander Data.

679
00:53:48,058 --> 00:53:53,145
Lieutenant Commander
Data now located in holodeck area 4J.

680
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:56,565
And as you can see, sir,
it's pointing you that way.

681
00:53:58,109 --> 00:54:00,152
- Thank you.
- You're welcome, sir.

682
00:54:03,782 --> 00:54:06,492
The next hatchway on your right.

683
00:54:07,035 --> 00:54:09,411
- Thank you.
- You're welcome, Commander Riker.

684
00:54:09,621 --> 00:54:11,413
And if you care to enter, commander?

685
00:54:11,623 --> 00:54:12,665
I do.

686
00:55:01,172 --> 00:55:03,382
Hello?

687
00:55:45,508 --> 00:55:49,720
Marvelous, how easily humans do that.

688
00:55:49,929 --> 00:55:52,306
I still need much practice.

689
00:55:52,515 --> 00:55:55,184
There's some puzzles down on the...

690
00:55:56,686 --> 00:55:59,313
Down on the planet
that the captain wants answered.

691
00:55:59,522 --> 00:56:02,042
He suggests I take you with me
on the away team I'll be leading.

692
00:56:02,233 --> 00:56:04,693
I shall endeavor
to function adequately, sir.

693
00:56:05,862 --> 00:56:07,738
Yes.

694
00:56:12,619 --> 00:56:15,079
When the captain suggested you,
I looked up your record.

695
00:56:15,288 --> 00:56:17,539
Yes, sir. A wise procedure, sir. Always.

696
00:56:17,749 --> 00:56:19,833
Then your rank of
lieutenant commander is honorary?

697
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:22,169
No, sir. Starfleet class of '78,

698
00:56:22,379 --> 00:56:24,713
honors in probability and mechanics
and exobiology.

699
00:56:24,923 --> 00:56:27,323
- But your file says that you're a...
- Machine. Correct, sir.

700
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:29,426
Does that trouble you?

701
00:56:29,636 --> 00:56:31,011
To be honest, yes, a little.

702
00:56:31,221 --> 00:56:34,848
Understood, sir.
Prejudice is very human.

703
00:56:35,183 --> 00:56:38,268
Now, that does trouble me.
Do you consider yourself superior to us?

704
00:56:38,478 --> 00:56:41,188
I am superior, sir, in many ways.

705
00:56:41,398 --> 00:56:44,483
But I would gladly give it up
to be human.

706
00:56:44,692 --> 00:56:46,318
Nice to meet you,

707
00:56:46,861 --> 00:56:48,112
Pinocchio.

708
00:56:49,989 --> 00:56:51,115
A joke.

709
00:56:52,492 --> 00:56:54,785
Ah. Intriguing.

710
00:56:56,413 --> 00:56:58,831
You're going to be
an interesting companion, Mr. Data.

711
00:57:06,631 --> 00:57:08,882
This woodland pattern is quite popular,
sir.

712
00:57:09,092 --> 00:57:11,385
Perhaps because it duplicates Earth
so well.

713
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:14,012
Coming here
almost makes me feel human myself.

714
00:57:14,222 --> 00:57:16,849
I didn't believe these simulations
could be this real.

715
00:57:17,058 --> 00:57:18,559
Much of it is real, sir.

716
00:57:18,768 --> 00:57:21,270
If the transporters can convert
our bodies to an energy beam,

717
00:57:21,479 --> 00:57:23,647
- then back to the original pattern...
- Yes, of course.

718
00:57:23,857 --> 00:57:26,191
And these rocks and vegetations
have much simpler patterns.

719
00:57:26,401 --> 00:57:28,152
Correct, sir.

720
00:57:28,695 --> 00:57:31,572
- The rear wall.
- I can't see it.

721
00:57:31,781 --> 00:57:34,074
We're right next to it.

722
00:57:40,915 --> 00:57:41,957
Incredible.

723
00:57:49,048 --> 00:57:51,175
Commander Riker.

724
00:57:51,759 --> 00:57:53,886
Commander Riker, isn't this great?

725
00:57:54,471 --> 00:57:56,180
This is one of the simple patterns.

726
00:57:56,389 --> 00:57:59,725
They've got thousands more.
Some you just can't believe.

727
00:57:59,934 --> 00:58:02,478
Careful, the next rock is loose.

728
00:58:04,856 --> 00:58:06,607
Wesley.

729
00:58:15,408 --> 00:58:16,658
Wow.

730
00:58:28,213 --> 00:58:31,507
Mr. Data has agreed to join me
on the away team captain.

731
00:58:31,716 --> 00:58:34,176
Very good, commander.

732
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,473
Sir, maybe I should get something
to wipe this water up.

733
00:58:40,308 --> 00:58:41,850
Good idea.

734
00:58:50,401 --> 00:58:52,653
There's a low-gravity gymnasium too.

735
00:58:52,862 --> 00:58:55,113
It'd be hard to get bored on this ship.

736
00:58:55,323 --> 00:58:57,032
Good.

737
00:59:02,747 --> 00:59:06,291
Mom, could you get me a look
at the Bridge?

738
00:59:06,501 --> 00:59:08,293
That's against the captain's
standing orders.

739
00:59:08,753 --> 00:59:13,257
- Are you afraid of the captain too?
- I certainly am not.

740
00:59:13,758 --> 00:59:16,051
But Captain Picard is a pain, isn't he?

741
00:59:16,261 --> 00:59:18,303
Your father liked him very much.

742
00:59:18,513 --> 00:59:23,308
Great explorers are often lonely.
No chance to have a family.

743
00:59:24,352 --> 00:59:25,644
Just a look at the Bridge.

744
00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:29,189
I'll stay in the turbolift
when the doors open. I won't get off.

745
00:59:29,399 --> 00:59:32,568
You are asking for trouble, Wes.

746
00:59:38,866 --> 00:59:40,576
We'll see what we can do.

747
00:59:53,715 --> 00:59:55,155
I recommend that someone could begin

748
00:59:55,341 --> 00:59:57,301
by examining the underside
of the station, sir.

749
00:59:57,510 --> 00:59:59,761
Our sensors do show
some passages, sir.

750
00:59:59,971 --> 01:00:02,139
Perhaps, you and I.

751
01:00:02,390 --> 01:00:06,351
Tasha, you and the counselor. And,
Geordi, I want your eyes down there.

752
01:00:06,561 --> 01:00:09,187
You and I will start topside.

753
01:00:40,887 --> 01:00:42,304
Have you noticed anything unusual?

754
01:00:42,513 --> 01:00:43,913
I can't see as well as Geordi, sir.

755
01:00:44,098 --> 01:00:45,939
But so far,
the material seems rather ordinary.

756
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:48,383
- Construction records?
- Construction records shows this

757
01:00:48,561 --> 01:00:51,063
to be almost identical
to that which Starfleet uses.

758
01:00:53,775 --> 01:00:55,859
Team leader.

759
01:00:56,069 --> 01:00:58,362
We found something interesting.

760
01:00:58,571 --> 01:01:02,324
We're in a passageway
directly under the station, sir.

761
01:01:02,617 --> 01:01:05,410
But these tunnel walls are something
I've never seen before, sir.

762
01:01:05,620 --> 01:01:07,829
- How are you examining them, Geordi?
- In every way.

763
01:01:08,039 --> 01:01:10,582
Microscopically, thermally,
electromagnetically.

764
01:01:10,792 --> 01:01:12,292
None of it is familiar.

765
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:14,753
And what about you, Troi?

766
01:01:16,714 --> 01:01:20,175
Sir, I've avoided opening my mind.

767
01:01:20,385 --> 01:01:23,845
Whatever I felt in the Groppler's office
became very uncomfortable.

768
01:01:24,055 --> 01:01:26,723
I'm sorry, counselor, but you must.
We need more information.

769
01:01:32,980 --> 01:01:34,773
Pain.

770
01:01:36,192 --> 01:01:38,777
Such pain.

771
01:01:39,612 --> 01:01:40,779
Pain.

772
01:01:40,988 --> 01:01:43,949
Hang on, I'm coming.
Enterprise, lock us on to her signal.

773
01:01:55,128 --> 01:01:56,461
I'm sorry.

774
01:01:56,671 --> 01:01:58,130
Close your mind to the pain.

775
01:01:59,340 --> 01:02:01,633
Unhappiness.

776
01:02:02,468 --> 01:02:04,469
Terrible despair.

777
01:02:04,679 --> 01:02:06,513
Who?

778
01:02:07,974 --> 01:02:10,058
I don't know.

779
01:02:10,518 --> 01:02:12,894
No life-form anything like us.

780
01:02:13,855 --> 01:02:15,564
What in the hell kind of place is this?

781
01:02:16,399 --> 01:02:17,691
Geordi, what do you see?

782
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:20,694
Well, it's of...

783
01:02:21,821 --> 01:02:26,783
It's of no material I recognize, sir,
or have even heard of.

784
01:02:50,475 --> 01:02:52,184
What the hell?

785
01:02:52,393 --> 01:02:55,437
Children are not allowed on the Bridge.

786
01:03:01,235 --> 01:03:04,112
Permission to report to the captain.

787
01:03:04,405 --> 01:03:05,614
Dr. Crusher.

788
01:03:06,991 --> 01:03:08,825
Captain.

789
01:03:09,452 --> 01:03:10,911
Sir, my son is not on the Bridge,

790
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,497
he merely accompanied me
on the turbolift.

791
01:03:19,045 --> 01:03:20,337
Your son?

792
01:03:20,546 --> 01:03:22,881
His name's Wesley.

793
01:03:23,633 --> 01:03:26,885
You last saw him years ago when...

794
01:03:28,846 --> 01:03:30,222
Hm.

795
01:03:37,313 --> 01:03:39,022
Well,

796
01:03:40,858 --> 01:03:43,068
as long as he's here...

797
01:03:45,071 --> 01:03:47,614
Ahem. I, uh...

798
01:03:49,158 --> 01:03:51,076
I knew...

799
01:03:53,162 --> 01:03:55,288
I knew your father, Wesley.

800
01:03:58,835 --> 01:04:00,293
Want to look around?

801
01:04:19,689 --> 01:04:22,065
But don't touch anything.

802
01:04:39,709 --> 01:04:41,585
Try it out.

803
01:04:48,509 --> 01:04:51,011
The panel on your right
is for log entries,

804
01:04:51,220 --> 01:04:55,932
library computer access and retrieval,
view-screen control and intercom.

805
01:04:56,142 --> 01:04:58,518
- Here we have...
- The backup conn and ops panels,

806
01:04:58,728 --> 01:05:00,478
plus shield and armament controls.

807
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:04,190
Hm. The forward view screen is
controlled from the ops position there.

808
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,110
Which uses high-resolution,
multi-spectral imaging sensors.

809
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,820
How the hell do you know that, boy?

810
01:05:10,364 --> 01:05:11,406
Perimeter alert, captain.

811
01:05:11,616 --> 01:05:12,866
- Wesley.
- I'm sorry.

812
01:05:13,075 --> 01:05:15,955
- You shouldn't have touched anything.
- Get off the Bridge. Both of you.

813
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,495
You have a perimeter alert, sir.

814
01:05:17,705 --> 01:05:20,457
As my son tried to tell you.

815
01:05:24,003 --> 01:05:25,086
Picard. Go ahead.

816
01:05:25,296 --> 01:05:26,897
Ship's sensors have detected
the presence

817
01:05:27,089 --> 01:05:28,632
of a vessel approaching this planet.

818
01:05:28,841 --> 01:05:31,092
No ship is scheduled to arrive
at this time, sir.

819
01:05:31,302 --> 01:05:34,262
Have Commander Riker and his team
beam back up.

820
01:05:34,472 --> 01:05:36,389
Security,
could that be the Hood returning here?

821
01:05:36,599 --> 01:05:39,768
The vessel does not match
the Hood's configuration or ID signal.

822
01:05:39,977 --> 01:05:42,062
Put it on main viewer.

823
01:05:42,563 --> 01:05:43,605
Identification?

824
01:05:43,814 --> 01:05:45,732
Vessel unknown,
configuration unknown, sir.

825
01:05:55,826 --> 01:05:56,868
Hail it.

826
01:05:57,495 --> 01:06:00,413
We've been trying, sir. No response.

827
01:06:05,586 --> 01:06:07,420
Raise all shields, phasers at ready.

828
01:06:07,630 --> 01:06:10,507
Shields up, sir, phasers ready.

829
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:30,902
Get me Groppler Zorn.

830
01:06:31,278 --> 01:06:33,655
And continue universal greetings
on all frequencies.

831
01:06:33,864 --> 01:06:35,490
This is Zorn, captain.

832
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:39,327
Zorn, an unidentified vessel
has entered into orbit with us.

833
01:06:39,537 --> 01:06:40,912
Do you know who it is?

834
01:06:41,122 --> 01:06:43,665
There are no ships scheduled
to arrive until...

835
01:06:43,874 --> 01:06:45,959
I asked you if you knew who it is.

836
01:06:46,168 --> 01:06:48,128
You mentioned the Ferengi Alliance
to me.

837
01:06:49,714 --> 01:06:52,716
But we've had no dealings with them.

838
01:06:53,092 --> 01:06:54,676
It was only a thought.

839
01:06:55,094 --> 01:06:57,095
- Are you certain?
- I promise you, captain.

840
01:06:57,722 --> 01:07:02,434
We were making an empty threat.
I wanted your cooperation. Forgive me.

841
01:07:02,643 --> 01:07:04,436
Definitely entering
orbital trajectory, sir.

842
01:07:04,645 --> 01:07:07,105
It measures 12 times our volume,
captain.

843
01:07:40,139 --> 01:07:43,475
Sensors say we were just scanned, sir.

844
01:07:48,230 --> 01:07:50,190
Pain again?

845
01:07:52,026 --> 01:07:53,902
Troi, you've been at it enough.

846
01:07:54,111 --> 01:07:55,779
No.

847
01:07:56,155 --> 01:07:58,490
I feel close to an answer of some kind.

848
01:07:58,699 --> 01:08:02,744
Commander, something down here
is shielding our communicators.

849
01:08:02,953 --> 01:08:06,039
Yes, that's exactly the feeling
I've been reading,

850
01:08:06,248 --> 01:08:09,501
as if someone doesn't want us
to be in touch with our ship.

851
01:08:09,710 --> 01:08:12,087
Come on, let's get to the surface.

852
01:08:19,011 --> 01:08:22,430
There is no computer record
of any such vessel, sir.

853
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:23,890
Nothing even close.

854
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:27,143
Still no response, sir. We've done
everything but threaten them.

855
01:08:30,981 --> 01:08:33,358
Sensor scans, Mr. Worf.

856
01:08:33,567 --> 01:08:36,861
Our sensor signals
just seem to bounce off.

857
01:08:37,113 --> 01:08:39,322
Something's happening, sir.

858
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:44,494
- They're firing on Farpoint, sir.
- Bring photon torpedoes to ready.

859
01:08:44,703 --> 01:08:48,081
Wait, sir. They're hitting the old
Bandi city, not Farpoint Station.

860
01:09:07,059 --> 01:09:08,979
Those stairs are where
we entered down here, sir.

861
01:09:09,186 --> 01:09:12,147
At this point it becomes ordinary stone,
sir. Matching what's above.

862
01:09:15,317 --> 01:09:17,152
My God, was that a phaser blast?

863
01:09:17,361 --> 01:09:20,029
Negative, but something similar.

864
01:09:22,867 --> 01:09:25,118
You, Tasha, Geordi will beam up
to the ship now. Come on.

865
01:09:25,327 --> 01:09:27,871
I wanna see exactly what's happening.

866
01:09:32,209 --> 01:09:34,711
Don't! If you should be hurt...

867
01:09:35,337 --> 01:09:38,047
You have your orders, lieutenant.
Carry them out.

868
01:09:38,966 --> 01:09:41,593
Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

869
01:09:44,722 --> 01:09:48,558
Enterprise, three to beam up.

870
01:09:57,818 --> 01:10:00,778
Enterprise. Enterprise, come in.

871
01:10:00,988 --> 01:10:02,238
Help us, please!

872
01:10:05,534 --> 01:10:06,701
What shall we do?

873
01:10:06,911 --> 01:10:09,037
Enterprise, help us, please!

874
01:10:09,246 --> 01:10:10,955
Tune that down.

875
01:10:11,165 --> 01:10:13,082
Commander Riker, come in.
Can you hear me?

876
01:10:19,465 --> 01:10:21,007
Riker to Enterprise, come in.

877
01:10:21,217 --> 01:10:23,593
Commander Riker, come in.
Where are you?

878
01:10:23,802 --> 01:10:26,554
With Data,
on the edge of the old city, sir.

879
01:10:28,182 --> 01:10:29,557
It's being hit hard, sir.

880
01:10:29,767 --> 01:10:31,809
And Farpoint Station,
any damage there?

881
01:10:32,019 --> 01:10:34,604
Negative on damage to Farpoint, sir.

882
01:10:34,813 --> 01:10:36,981
Whoever they are,
they're avoiding hitting the station.

883
01:10:37,191 --> 01:10:40,443
It's from an unidentified vessel
that's entered into orbit with us here.

884
01:10:40,653 --> 01:10:42,570
No ID, no answer to our signals.

885
01:10:42,780 --> 01:10:45,114
The old Bandi city's being hit hard, sir.

886
01:10:45,324 --> 01:10:48,701
- Many casualties very probable.
- Understand, commander.

887
01:10:48,911 --> 01:10:52,664
Would you object to your captain
ordering a clearly illegal kidnapping?

888
01:10:54,166 --> 01:10:55,208
No objection, sir.

889
01:10:55,668 --> 01:10:58,336
Groppler Zorn may have
the answers we need.

890
01:10:58,545 --> 01:10:59,671
Get him. Bring him here.

891
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:01,005
Aye, sir.

892
01:11:08,764 --> 01:11:11,307
They're forcing a very difficult
decision on me, counselor.

893
01:11:11,517 --> 01:11:14,936
But I doubt protecting the Bandi
would violate the Prime Directive.

894
01:11:15,145 --> 01:11:16,813
True, they are not actual allies, but...

895
01:11:17,022 --> 01:11:20,858
We are in the midst
of diplomatic discussions with them.

896
01:11:21,235 --> 01:11:24,362
Lieutenant, lock phasers on that vessel.

897
01:11:24,822 --> 01:11:27,115
Phasers locked on, captain.

898
01:11:29,743 --> 01:11:31,911
Typical. So typical.

899
01:11:32,121 --> 01:11:36,124
Savage life-forms never follow
even their own rules.

900
01:11:44,091 --> 01:11:46,467
Get off my Bridge.

901
01:11:47,803 --> 01:11:49,679
Interesting, that order about phasers.

902
01:11:49,888 --> 01:11:51,306
Standing by on phasers, captain.

903
01:11:51,515 --> 01:11:54,058
Please, don't let me interfere.
Use your weapons.

904
01:11:54,268 --> 01:11:56,019
We've no idea of who
is on that vessel.

905
01:11:56,186 --> 01:11:58,062
My order was
a routine safety precaution.

906
01:11:58,272 --> 01:12:00,440
Really? No idea what it represents?

907
01:12:00,649 --> 01:12:02,483
The meaning of that vessel is as plain,

908
01:12:02,693 --> 01:12:05,987
as plain as the noses
on your ugly little primate faces.

909
01:12:06,322 --> 01:12:08,114
And if you were truly civilized, captain,

910
01:12:08,324 --> 01:12:11,993
wouldn't you be doing something about
the casualties happening down there?

911
01:12:12,202 --> 01:12:15,079
Captain to CMO,
are you reading any of this?

912
01:12:15,289 --> 01:12:18,041
Medical team is already preparing
to beam down, captain.

913
01:12:18,334 --> 01:12:20,877
Compliments on that, doctor.

914
01:12:21,211 --> 01:12:22,253
Any questions?

915
01:12:22,588 --> 01:12:25,269
Starfleet people are trained to render aid
and assistance whenever...

916
01:12:25,466 --> 01:12:27,842
But not trained in clear thinking.

917
01:12:28,052 --> 01:12:30,595
Let's consider your thoughts.
You call us savages

918
01:12:30,804 --> 01:12:33,598
and yet, you knew those people
down there were going to be killed.

919
01:12:33,807 --> 01:12:36,100
It is your conduct that is uncivilized.

920
01:12:36,977 --> 01:12:38,936
Sir, they're firing on the planet again.

921
01:12:41,899 --> 01:12:43,316
Go to maneuvering jets.

922
01:12:43,525 --> 01:12:45,610
Position us between that vessel
and the planet.

923
01:12:45,819 --> 01:12:48,988
- Forcefields full on.
- Aye, sir.

924
01:12:50,741 --> 01:12:53,034
Impulse power to...

925
01:12:53,786 --> 01:12:55,286
We have no ship control, sir.

926
01:12:57,373 --> 01:12:58,414
It's gone.

927
01:13:15,432 --> 01:13:16,599
Are you undamaged?

928
01:13:16,975 --> 01:13:18,684
Yes. You?

929
01:13:26,735 --> 01:13:29,237
All systems operating.

930
01:13:47,464 --> 01:13:50,216
Please. Make it stop.

931
01:13:50,426 --> 01:13:52,218
You can drive it away.

932
01:13:52,428 --> 01:13:54,554
Drive who away, Groppler?

933
01:13:54,763 --> 01:13:56,514
- I don't know.
- Unlikely, sir.

934
01:13:56,932 --> 01:14:00,726
Our records show you supervised
all Bandi contact with other worlds.

935
01:14:00,936 --> 01:14:02,437
We've done nothing wrong.

936
01:14:02,646 --> 01:14:05,356
Then if we can learn nothing from you,
we'll leave.

937
01:14:05,566 --> 01:14:08,401
No. Oh, no, please, don't leave.

938
01:14:08,610 --> 01:14:11,446
I'll try to explain.

939
01:14:20,497 --> 01:14:23,166
First Officer to Enterprise.

940
01:14:25,586 --> 01:14:27,920
We've lost Zorn.

941
01:14:29,256 --> 01:14:32,592
Something like a transporter beam
seems to have snatched him away.

942
01:14:32,801 --> 01:14:34,552
Question, sir.

943
01:14:35,053 --> 01:14:36,512
Could it be this Q?

944
01:14:36,722 --> 01:14:41,058
None of you knows who transported
him. You're running out of time, captain.

945
01:14:41,268 --> 01:14:42,768
Captain.

946
01:14:43,395 --> 01:14:45,229
Suddenly I'm sensing something else.

947
01:14:47,566 --> 01:14:49,859
Satisfaction.

948
01:14:50,652 --> 01:14:52,570
Enormous satisfaction.

949
01:14:52,779 --> 01:14:54,864
- From same source as before?
- No.

950
01:14:55,365 --> 01:14:57,575
That was on the planet.
This is much closer.

951
01:14:57,784 --> 01:15:00,661
Excellent, counselor.
He's such a dullard, isn't he?

952
01:15:03,749 --> 01:15:05,249
Captain, from transporter room.

953
01:15:05,459 --> 01:15:07,835
First officer and Mr. Data
have beamed aboard.

954
01:15:08,045 --> 01:15:10,838
Excellent also. Perhaps with more
of these little minds helping...

955
01:15:11,048 --> 01:15:12,048
That is enough, damn it!

956
01:15:12,257 --> 01:15:14,091
Have you forgotten
that we have an agreement?

957
01:15:14,301 --> 01:15:16,341
An agreement which you are,
at this moment, breaking

958
01:15:16,512 --> 01:15:19,639
by taking over our vessel,
interfering with my decisions.

959
01:15:21,850 --> 01:15:23,309
Either leave or finish us!

960
01:15:23,519 --> 01:15:24,936
Temper, temper, mon capitaine.

961
01:15:25,145 --> 01:15:28,648
I'm merely trying to assist
a pitiful species.

962
01:15:28,857 --> 01:15:30,191
But perhaps I will leave,

963
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,652
if Commander Riker provides me
with some amusement.

964
01:15:32,861 --> 01:15:34,278
Do nothing that he asks.

965
01:15:34,488 --> 01:15:35,988
But I ask so little.

966
01:15:36,198 --> 01:15:39,158
And it's so necessary
if you're to solve all this.

967
01:15:39,368 --> 01:15:42,870
Beam over there with your...
What do you call it? You're away team?

968
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,122
I'll risk none of my crew
on that unknown.

969
01:15:45,332 --> 01:15:47,173
You should already know
what you'll find there.

970
01:15:47,376 --> 01:15:49,377
Or perhaps
it's too adult a puzzle for you.

971
01:15:50,837 --> 01:15:54,465
With all respect, captain,
I want to beam over there.

972
01:15:54,675 --> 01:15:56,884
You show promise, my good fellow.

973
01:15:57,094 --> 01:16:00,221
Have you understood any part
of what he's tried to tell you?

974
01:16:00,430 --> 01:16:03,140
Humanity is no longer a savage race.

975
01:16:04,685 --> 01:16:07,019
But you must still prove that.

976
01:16:13,485 --> 01:16:16,445
At least you impressed him,
Number One. That's hopeful.

977
01:16:17,614 --> 01:16:19,198
Thank you, captain.

978
01:16:20,617 --> 01:16:22,994
Captain, if he's not open to evidence
in our favor,

979
01:16:23,161 --> 01:16:24,537
where will you go from there?

980
01:16:24,746 --> 01:16:26,038
I'll attend to my duty.

981
01:16:26,665 --> 01:16:27,790
To the bitter end?

982
01:16:28,250 --> 01:16:31,586
I see nothing so bitter about that.

983
01:16:37,426 --> 01:16:39,927
Can I help you, captain?

984
01:16:41,138 --> 01:16:43,180
I, uh...

985
01:16:43,390 --> 01:16:47,101
I didn't want you thinking me harsh,
cold-blooded.

986
01:16:47,311 --> 01:16:49,020
Why, oh, why would I ever think that?

987
01:16:49,313 --> 01:16:52,773
I didn't welcome you aboard personally,
professionally.

988
01:16:52,983 --> 01:16:55,943
I made you come to me on the Bridge,
I yelled at your son.

989
01:16:56,153 --> 01:16:59,196
Who, as you pointed out,
was quite correct.

990
01:16:59,990 --> 01:17:03,576
He does seem to have a very good grasp
of starship operations.

991
01:17:05,037 --> 01:17:07,121
You've just won this mother's heart,
captain.

992
01:17:08,373 --> 01:17:10,625
Ah. But, uh...

993
01:17:10,834 --> 01:17:13,502
Now, your assignment here,

994
01:17:13,712 --> 01:17:17,298
I would consider

995
01:17:17,507 --> 01:17:20,801
and approve a transfer for you.

996
01:17:21,845 --> 01:17:24,930
Oh. Do you consider me unqualified?

997
01:17:25,140 --> 01:17:26,974
Hardly. Your service record shows

998
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:29,602
you're just the chief medical officer
I want.

999
01:17:29,811 --> 01:17:31,395
Then you must object to me personally.

1000
01:17:31,605 --> 01:17:34,398
I'm trying to be considerate
of your feelings, doctor.

1001
01:17:34,608 --> 01:17:36,817
For you to work
with a commanding officer

1002
01:17:37,027 --> 01:17:41,822
who would continually remind you
of a terrible personal tragedy.

1003
01:17:42,032 --> 01:17:43,949
If I had had any objections
to serving with you,

1004
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:46,786
I wouldn't have requested
this assignment, captain.

1005
01:17:48,789 --> 01:17:49,997
You requested this posting?

1006
01:17:50,415 --> 01:17:52,616
My feelings about my husband's death
will have no affect

1007
01:17:52,793 --> 01:17:55,628
on the way I serve you,
this vessel or this mission.

1008
01:17:58,090 --> 01:17:59,173
Ah.

1009
01:18:00,634 --> 01:18:02,718
Then welcome aboard, doctor.

1010
01:18:03,345 --> 01:18:06,847
Riker to Picard.
We're ready to beam over, sir.

1011
01:18:08,433 --> 01:18:11,394
I hope we can be friends.

1012
01:18:12,521 --> 01:18:13,729
Thank you.

1013
01:18:26,618 --> 01:18:28,703
Phasers on stun.

1014
01:18:35,544 --> 01:18:37,378
Energize.

1015
01:18:56,189 --> 01:18:58,691
Most interesting, sir.

1016
01:19:00,318 --> 01:19:03,738
It's the same construction we saw
in the underground tunnel.

1017
01:19:03,947 --> 01:19:05,906
But no sound of power.

1018
01:19:06,116 --> 01:19:08,117
No equipment.

1019
01:19:08,535 --> 01:19:11,036
How does this ship run?

1020
01:19:13,915 --> 01:19:15,458
What is it, Troi?

1021
01:19:15,667 --> 01:19:17,626
Is it the same as you felt down there?

1022
01:19:17,836 --> 01:19:19,420
No.

1023
01:19:20,088 --> 01:19:23,299
This is much more powerful.

1024
01:19:23,967 --> 01:19:26,594
Full of anger...

1025
01:19:27,053 --> 01:19:29,722
- hate.
- Toward us?

1026
01:19:29,931 --> 01:19:31,599
No.

1027
01:19:31,808 --> 01:19:35,394
It's directed down toward
the old Bandi city.

1028
01:19:35,604 --> 01:19:38,355
Most intriguing again, sir.

1029
01:19:38,690 --> 01:19:43,235
The place that this vessel was firing
upon was not the Farpoint Starbase,

1030
01:19:43,445 --> 01:19:46,363
but the home of those
who constructed...

1031
01:19:48,033 --> 01:19:49,825
Sorry, sir.

1032
01:19:50,619 --> 01:19:53,579
I seem to be commenting
on everything.

1033
01:19:54,331 --> 01:19:55,956
Good.

1034
01:19:56,708 --> 01:19:59,084
Don't stop, my friend.

1035
01:20:04,716 --> 01:20:06,634
Enterprise, Riker.

1036
01:20:06,843 --> 01:20:10,971
This is turning out to be
a very long tunnel or corridor, sir.

1037
01:20:11,181 --> 01:20:12,973
No ship's crew in sight.

1038
01:20:13,183 --> 01:20:15,976
No sign of mechanism or circuitry.

1039
01:20:16,353 --> 01:20:19,104
No controls or readouts.

1040
01:20:19,940 --> 01:20:23,025
This is nothing like any vessel
I've seen before.

1041
01:20:23,235 --> 01:20:25,653
Groppler Zorn, sir.

1042
01:20:26,154 --> 01:20:28,739
And great fear just ahead.

1043
01:20:29,324 --> 01:20:32,993
There's a different feeling here
than in the tunnel.

1044
01:20:33,370 --> 01:20:35,204
Very different.

1045
01:20:36,706 --> 01:20:39,291
No! Please! No more, please!

1046
01:20:39,501 --> 01:20:40,793
No more!

1047
01:20:42,796 --> 01:20:47,007
Please! Make it stop the pain!

1048
01:20:48,218 --> 01:20:53,889
Please. Please. Make it stop the pain.

1049
01:20:55,058 --> 01:21:00,312
No! Please! No more! Please, no more!

1050
01:21:01,189 --> 01:21:06,235
- Please! Make it stop the pain! Ah!
- Zorn, can you hear me?

1051
01:21:07,195 --> 01:21:08,696
No!

1052
01:21:08,905 --> 01:21:12,658
- Has the alien communicated?
- No. Please. Please.

1053
01:21:13,243 --> 01:21:14,660
- Please, no more!
- That's it, sir.

1054
01:21:14,870 --> 01:21:18,831
- No, no more!
- It's just one alien I'm sensing here.

1055
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,418
Please.
I don't understand what it wants!

1056
01:21:22,627 --> 01:21:25,045
- Not true, he does know.
- No, please! No more!

1057
01:21:25,255 --> 01:21:28,549
Please. No more!

1058
01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:33,971
Oh, no. No! Don't! Don't! Don't!

1059
01:21:42,814 --> 01:21:43,981
Captain!

1060
01:21:45,191 --> 01:21:48,193
Transporter chief, yank them back now.

1061
01:21:48,403 --> 01:21:49,486
Riker, acknowledge.

1062
01:21:51,072 --> 01:21:53,198
Your time is up, captain.

1063
01:21:54,242 --> 01:21:56,493
Transporter chief,
do you have their coordinates?

1064
01:21:56,703 --> 01:21:58,996
- Transporter chief.
- He can't hear you, captain.

1065
01:21:59,205 --> 01:22:01,332
Transporter chief, come in.

1066
01:22:06,546 --> 01:22:10,341
I have people in trouble over there, Q.

1067
01:22:16,389 --> 01:22:18,515
Everyone at ease. That's an order.

1068
01:22:21,561 --> 01:22:24,730
Q, my people are in trouble.

1069
01:22:24,940 --> 01:22:28,150
Let me help them, please.

1070
01:22:32,113 --> 01:22:34,657
I'll do whatever you say.

1071
01:22:40,997 --> 01:22:43,874
You'll do whatever I say.

1072
01:22:46,419 --> 01:22:48,337
It seems I did make that bargain.

1073
01:22:48,546 --> 01:22:51,674
The agreement isn't valid, sir.
It wasn't Q that saved us.

1074
01:22:51,883 --> 01:22:53,634
Save yourself. It may attack you now.

1075
01:22:54,552 --> 01:22:56,178
It was that which sent us back, captain.

1076
01:22:56,388 --> 01:23:00,099
Yes, sir. It is not merely a vessel,
somehow it is alive.

1077
01:23:00,308 --> 01:23:02,184
She lies.
Destroy it while you have a chance.

1078
01:23:02,394 --> 01:23:04,186
Make phasers
and photon torpedoes ready.

1079
01:23:04,396 --> 01:23:06,105
No. Do nothing he demands.

1080
01:23:06,314 --> 01:23:08,107
Captain,
that thing was killing my people.

1081
01:23:08,316 --> 01:23:10,442
- Was there a reason?
- It is an unknown, captain.

1082
01:23:10,652 --> 01:23:11,777
Isn't that enough?

1083
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,363
If you had earned that uniform
you're wearing,

1084
01:23:14,572 --> 01:23:17,157
you'd know that the unknown
is what brings us out here.

1085
01:23:17,367 --> 01:23:19,493
Wasted effort,
considering human intelligence.

1086
01:23:19,703 --> 01:23:21,286
Let's test that.

1087
01:23:21,496 --> 01:23:23,956
Beginning with the tunnels
you have under Farpoint, Groppler.

1088
01:23:24,165 --> 01:23:27,668
Identical to those on the space vessel
life-form over there.

1089
01:23:27,877 --> 01:23:29,586
Why was it punishing you, Groppler?

1090
01:23:29,796 --> 01:23:32,923
In return for some pain
you'd given another creature?

1091
01:23:33,133 --> 01:23:36,427
We've done nothing wrong.
It was injured, we helped it.

1092
01:23:38,722 --> 01:23:40,472
Thank you.

1093
01:23:41,057 --> 01:23:43,142
That was the missing element.

1094
01:23:43,351 --> 01:23:48,272
Lieutenant Yar, rig main phaser banks
to deliver an energy beam.

1095
01:23:48,481 --> 01:23:50,482
- Aye, sir.
- You're right, captain.

1096
01:23:51,317 --> 01:23:54,028
It has to be conceivable
that somewhere in this galaxy,

1097
01:23:54,237 --> 01:23:57,573
there could exist creatures
able to convert energy into matter.

1098
01:23:57,782 --> 01:24:01,869
And into specific patterns of matter,
just as our transporters do.

1099
01:24:02,078 --> 01:24:03,245
On the viewer, captain.

1100
01:24:39,741 --> 01:24:40,908
Groppler.

1101
01:24:41,659 --> 01:24:45,412
You captured something like that,
didn't you?

1102
01:24:47,373 --> 01:24:50,918
Warn my people, please,
to leave Farpoint Station immediately.

1103
01:24:51,127 --> 01:24:53,378
He lies, captain.
Shouldn't you let his people die?

1104
01:24:53,588 --> 01:24:54,630
Transmit the message:

1105
01:24:54,839 --> 01:24:56,715
"Leave Farpoint Space Station
immediately."

1106
01:24:56,925 --> 01:24:59,301
Then it was a pair of creatures
I was sensing.

1107
01:24:59,844 --> 01:25:05,516
One down there in grief and pain,
the other up here filled with anger.

1108
01:25:05,725 --> 01:25:07,935
And firing not on the new space station,

1109
01:25:08,770 --> 01:25:11,438
but on the Bandi and their city.

1110
01:25:12,023 --> 01:25:14,900
Attacking those who had captured...

1111
01:25:17,904 --> 01:25:19,404
Captured its mate.

1112
01:25:26,162 --> 01:25:28,497
Energy beam ready, sir.

1113
01:25:28,706 --> 01:25:30,666
Lock it in on Farpoint Station.

1114
01:25:33,586 --> 01:25:36,255
I see now it was too simple a puzzle.

1115
01:25:36,464 --> 01:25:40,134
Generosity
has always been my weakness.

1116
01:25:40,343 --> 01:25:43,554
Let it have whatever it can absorb.

1117
01:25:44,097 --> 01:25:45,806
Energize.

1118
01:26:03,575 --> 01:26:05,868
Now getting feedback
on the beam, sir.

1119
01:26:06,077 --> 01:26:07,995
Discontinue.

1120
01:26:09,164 --> 01:26:10,372
Groppler Zorn,

1121
01:26:11,124 --> 01:26:14,918
there'll soon be no Farpoint Station,
if I'm right about this.

1122
01:26:15,128 --> 01:26:16,670
A lucky guess.

1123
01:26:37,358 --> 01:26:39,651
Please believe me,
we meant no harm to the creature.

1124
01:26:39,861 --> 01:26:41,612
It was starving for energy.

1125
01:26:41,821 --> 01:26:43,739
Which your world furnishes you
in plenty.

1126
01:26:43,948 --> 01:26:46,950
- And we did feed it.
- But only enough to keep it alive

1127
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,245
so that you could force it to shape itself
into whatever form you needed.

1128
01:28:06,447 --> 01:28:08,198
Sir.

1129
01:28:09,033 --> 01:28:10,993
It's wonderful.

1130
01:28:15,915 --> 01:28:19,126
A feeling of great joy.

1131
01:28:20,545 --> 01:28:22,713
And gratitude.

1132
01:28:27,135 --> 01:28:31,763
Great joy and gratitude.

1133
01:28:33,725 --> 01:28:36,226
From both of them.

1134
01:28:54,662 --> 01:29:00,334
Why do you use other life-forms
for your recreation?

1135
01:29:00,585 --> 01:29:05,714
- If so, you've not provided the best...
- Leave us. We've passed your little test.

1136
01:29:05,923 --> 01:29:08,050
Temper, temper, mon capitaine.

1137
01:29:08,259 --> 01:29:09,760
Get off my ship.

1138
01:29:09,969 --> 01:29:13,013
I do so
only because it suits me to leave.

1139
01:29:16,267 --> 01:29:19,770
But I will not promise
never to appear again.

1140
01:29:33,284 --> 01:29:36,912
Captain's log, stardate 41174.2.

1141
01:29:37,121 --> 01:29:39,581
The agreement for the rebuilding
of Farpoint Station

1142
01:29:39,791 --> 01:29:42,501
has been completed
per my instructions.

1143
01:29:42,710 --> 01:29:46,213
- All stations?
- Ready for departure, sir.

1144
01:29:48,633 --> 01:29:49,925
Some problem, Riker?

1145
01:29:50,134 --> 01:29:53,095
Just hoping this isn't the usual way
our missions will go, sir.

1146
01:29:53,304 --> 01:29:55,138
Oh, no, Number One.

1147
01:29:55,348 --> 01:29:58,683
I'm sure most
will be much more interesting.

1148
01:30:01,354 --> 01:30:04,064
Let's see what's out there.

1149
01:30:04,899 --> 01:30:06,149
Engage.
