1
00:00:03,395 --> 00:00:06,728
Captain's Log, Stardate 44286.5.
2
00:00:06,765 --> 00:00:09,165
The Enterprise is conducting
a security survey
3
00:00:09,201 --> 00:00:11,795
of the Onias Sector
near the Neutral Zone.
4
00:00:11,837 --> 00:00:14,431
Despite our proximity
to Romulan territory
5
00:00:14,473 --> 00:00:18,239
the mission has been quiet
and uneventful.
6
00:00:25,217 --> 00:00:27,185
All right, Commander,
you've got until
7
00:00:27,219 --> 00:00:29,187
your next birthday
to get that right.
8
00:00:29,221 --> 00:00:30,552
Some things improve with age.
9
00:00:30,589 --> 00:00:32,853
Maybe your trombone playing
will be one of them.
10
00:00:32,891 --> 00:00:35,792
lt's candle time, birthday boy.
11
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:39,524
Whoo!
All right.
12
00:00:39,564 --> 00:00:42,533
So, what did you wish for, Will?
13
00:00:42,567 --> 00:00:43,966
Music lessons.
14
00:00:49,241 --> 00:00:50,765
Mr. Data, we must hurry
15
00:00:50,809 --> 00:00:53,539
or we'll miss
Commander Riker's party.
16
00:00:53,578 --> 00:00:57,207
Sir, l find it interesting how
much importance humans place
17
00:00:57,249 --> 00:00:59,046
on celebrating the day
of their birth--
18
00:00:59,084 --> 00:01:00,881
a day they cannot
possibly remember.
19
00:01:00,919 --> 00:01:03,410
Captain, l am detecting
some unusual fluctuations
20
00:01:03,455 --> 00:01:05,719
in subspace frequencies.
21
00:01:07,392 --> 00:01:10,122
We'd better take a look at it,
Mr. Data.
22
00:01:14,366 --> 00:01:17,164
lt appears
we are being probed, sir.
23
00:01:17,202 --> 00:01:18,635
The source?
24
00:01:18,670 --> 00:01:21,332
The third planet
of the Alpha Onias system.
25
00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:24,672
Our reports list it
as presently uninhabited.
26
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:27,508
Perhaps reports
were incorrect, sir.
27
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:30,947
Or maybe the rumors
of a secret Romulan base
28
00:01:30,982 --> 00:01:32,916
in this sector are true.
29
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:36,350
Picard to Commander Riker.
30
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:38,948
l apologize for interrupting
your celebration
31
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:41,015
but l'm going to need
an away team.
32
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:42,924
Would you report
to the Bridge, please?
33
00:01:53,939 --> 00:01:57,067
Although Alpha Onias lll
is a Class-M planet
34
00:01:57,109 --> 00:02:01,205
our survey teams have listed it
as ''barren and inhospitable.''
35
00:02:01,246 --> 00:02:02,474
Any life signs?
36
00:02:02,514 --> 00:02:03,640
No, sir.
37
00:02:03,682 --> 00:02:06,014
But we have traced
residual energy readings
38
00:02:06,051 --> 00:02:08,485
to a cavern two kilometers
beneath the surface.
39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,817
Romulans.
40
00:02:09,855 --> 00:02:10,822
lt is possible.
41
00:02:10,856 --> 00:02:11,880
l suppose you'll just
42
00:02:11,923 --> 00:02:13,686
have to go down there
and find out.
43
00:02:13,725 --> 00:02:16,159
Geordi, Worf, you're with me.
44
00:02:16,194 --> 00:02:18,560
Number One?
45
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:20,360
Happy birthday.
46
00:02:40,152 --> 00:02:42,882
l'm detecting high levels
of volcanic gases--
47
00:02:42,921 --> 00:02:46,857
sulfur dioxide,
methane, hydrogen sulfide.
48
00:02:46,892 --> 00:02:48,189
Toxic?
49
00:02:48,226 --> 00:02:50,160
Uh, we're okay for now,
but l wouldn't
50
00:02:50,195 --> 00:02:51,958
want to spend my vacation here.
51
00:02:53,832 --> 00:02:55,527
What about energy readings?
52
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:57,398
Magnetic clutter is increasing.
53
00:02:57,436 --> 00:02:59,199
l cannot make
an accurate determination.
54
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:00,635
Same here, Commander.
55
00:03:00,672 --> 00:03:03,470
l'm getting a lot
of confusing readings here.
56
00:03:03,508 --> 00:03:06,272
Picard to Riker,
please acknowledge.
57
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:07,539
Riker here.
58
00:03:07,579 --> 00:03:09,479
We're having trouble
reading you.
59
00:03:09,514 --> 00:03:12,244
And we're having similar
difficulties reading you.
60
00:03:12,284 --> 00:03:14,548
l'm advising you
and your away team
61
00:03:14,586 --> 00:03:16,315
to transport up at once.
62
00:03:16,354 --> 00:03:17,651
That's good advice, Commander.
63
00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:19,054
We've got a sudden build-up
64
00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:20,785
of gases here,
especially methane.
65
00:03:20,826 --> 00:03:24,159
Transporter Room, take us up.
66
00:03:24,196 --> 00:03:27,927
l can't get
a solid lock on you, sir.
67
00:03:27,966 --> 00:03:29,729
There's too much interference.
68
00:03:29,768 --> 00:03:31,030
l'm trying again.
69
00:03:33,705 --> 00:03:35,172
Transporter Room,
what's happening?
70
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,502
Report!
71
00:03:36,541 --> 00:03:37,735
l'm trying again, sir.
72
00:03:54,459 --> 00:03:56,950
Dr. Crusher, he's awake.
73
00:03:59,397 --> 00:04:00,921
Beverly.
74
00:04:00,966 --> 00:04:03,366
Will, you remember me.
75
00:04:03,401 --> 00:04:05,392
That's good.
76
00:04:05,437 --> 00:04:08,167
What else do you
remember, Captain?
77
00:04:10,442 --> 00:04:12,876
Captain?
78
00:04:45,844 --> 00:04:50,372
Space, the final frontier.
79
00:04:50,415 --> 00:04:54,181
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.
80
00:04:54,286 --> 00:04:56,481
lts continuing mission--
81
00:04:56,521 --> 00:04:59,752
to explore strange new worlds
82
00:04:59,791 --> 00:05:04,387
to seek out new life
and new civilizations
83
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:09,128
to boldly go
where no one has gone before.
84
00:06:09,461 --> 00:06:12,624
Water, three Celsius.
85
00:06:22,107 --> 00:06:24,041
How do you feel?
86
00:06:24,075 --> 00:06:26,339
Confused.
87
00:06:26,378 --> 00:06:30,109
That's understandable,
considering what's happened.
88
00:06:32,384 --> 00:06:33,783
What has happened?
89
00:06:33,818 --> 00:06:35,149
What happened to Sick Bay?
90
00:06:35,253 --> 00:06:38,154
To you... to me?
91
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:40,316
Sit down, Captain.
92
00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:43,156
Captain?
l am Commander William T. Riker.
93
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:44,889
What is going on here?
94
00:06:44,929 --> 00:06:46,294
Sit.
95
00:06:46,331 --> 00:06:48,299
Please.
96
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:57,103
What is the last thing
that you remember clearly?
97
00:06:57,142 --> 00:06:59,110
Alpha Onias lll.
98
00:06:59,144 --> 00:07:01,442
The Enterprise had been probed.
99
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:05,882
Geordi, Worf and l transported
down to track the source.
100
00:07:05,917 --> 00:07:08,784
But all you found there
was toxic gas.
101
00:07:08,820 --> 00:07:12,779
They barely had time
to get the three of you out.
102
00:07:12,824 --> 00:07:17,818
Will, that happened
16 years ago.
103
00:07:22,033 --> 00:07:24,627
That's not possible.
104
00:07:24,669 --> 00:07:27,638
With an Altarian virus,
anything is possible.
105
00:07:27,672 --> 00:07:30,334
ln fact, we've been
expecting this.
106
00:07:32,844 --> 00:07:35,142
Could you be more specific?
107
00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:38,477
That day on Onias lll,
you were infected
108
00:07:38,516 --> 00:07:42,145
with a strain
of Altarian encephalitis--
109
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:44,814
a retrovirus
that incorporates its DNA
110
00:07:44,856 --> 00:07:47,017
directly into the cells
of its host.
111
00:07:47,058 --> 00:07:48,491
lt can lie dormant
for many years
112
00:07:48,526 --> 00:07:50,494
and then suddenly
become active again
113
00:07:50,528 --> 00:07:54,828
as it did in your case
ten days ago.
114
00:07:54,866 --> 00:07:57,767
You have been in a coma,
delirious.
115
00:07:57,802 --> 00:08:00,635
Your fever finally broke
this morning.
116
00:08:00,672 --> 00:08:03,732
But what happened to my memory?
117
00:08:05,143 --> 00:08:08,806
Let me show you a scan
of your brain tissue.
118
00:08:13,651 --> 00:08:16,119
When the encephalitis
became active
119
00:08:16,154 --> 00:08:18,452
it caused widespread
synapse degradation
120
00:08:18,490 --> 00:08:21,459
interrupting the consolidation
of your memory patterns.
121
00:08:21,493 --> 00:08:23,051
Doctor.
122
00:08:27,332 --> 00:08:29,960
Will, this virus
inevitably causes
123
00:08:30,001 --> 00:08:34,631
memory loss back to the moment
of the original infection.
124
00:08:34,672 --> 00:08:38,768
ln your case, all the way back
to Alpha Onias lll.
125
00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:40,072
l don't believe this.
126
00:08:40,111 --> 00:08:42,136
ls this a dream?
127
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:43,147
Feel my hand.
128
00:08:43,181 --> 00:08:44,808
lt is flesh and bone.
129
00:08:44,849 --> 00:08:46,476
This is not a dream.
130
00:08:46,518 --> 00:08:49,817
And you are, in fact,
Captain William T. Riker
131
00:08:49,854 --> 00:08:51,913
in command of the Enterprise.
132
00:08:51,956 --> 00:08:53,787
The Enterprise.
133
00:08:53,825 --> 00:08:55,452
For how long?
134
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:57,427
Nine years.
135
00:08:59,798 --> 00:09:04,565
lf l've lost my memory,
how do l get it back?
136
00:09:04,602 --> 00:09:07,765
Memories are formed
by association.
137
00:09:07,806 --> 00:09:11,264
Smells, sounds
and images from the present
138
00:09:11,309 --> 00:09:13,106
could possibly trigger them.
139
00:09:13,144 --> 00:09:16,602
Like a song reminds you
of an old friend.
140
00:09:16,648 --> 00:09:17,774
Exactly.
141
00:09:17,816 --> 00:09:19,113
ln associational therapy
142
00:09:19,217 --> 00:09:21,879
we expose the patient
to familiar surroundings.
143
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,684
This could stimulate
the brain's neural synapses
144
00:09:24,722 --> 00:09:25,746
into regenerating.
145
00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:27,018
Well, then let's get started.
146
00:09:27,058 --> 00:09:29,117
There's nothing more familiar
than the Enterprise.
147
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:30,786
Maybe that'll bring back
some of my...
148
00:09:30,829 --> 00:09:32,854
Will.
149
00:09:32,897 --> 00:09:36,128
l said your memory could return.
150
00:09:36,167 --> 00:09:39,295
ln many of these cases,
the damage is permanent.
151
00:09:47,119 --> 00:09:49,383
What about Geordi and Worf?
152
00:09:49,421 --> 00:09:50,945
Were they infected, too?
153
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:51,957
Thankfully, no.
154
00:09:51,991 --> 00:09:53,549
Geordi appears
to have been immune
155
00:09:53,592 --> 00:09:56,254
and the Klingons don't seem
to be affected by the virus.
156
00:09:56,295 --> 00:09:57,762
Speaking of Klingons.
157
00:09:57,796 --> 00:09:59,525
There have been
quite a few changes
158
00:09:59,565 --> 00:10:01,795
on the Enterprise
during the last 16 years.
159
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:04,663
Deck eight.
160
00:10:04,703 --> 00:10:06,102
Belay that order.
161
00:10:06,138 --> 00:10:08,072
We should begin
the associational therapy
162
00:10:08,107 --> 00:10:09,369
in your quarters.
163
00:10:09,408 --> 00:10:11,774
Personal recollections
are always the most vivid.
164
00:10:11,810 --> 00:10:13,903
My life was on the Main Bridge.
165
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:15,436
Always has been.
166
00:10:15,481 --> 00:10:18,712
lf anything's going
to jog my memory...
167
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:19,809
Main Bridge.
168
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:22,116
Repeat command.
169
00:10:22,154 --> 00:10:23,951
l said, Main Bridge.
170
00:10:23,989 --> 00:10:26,617
The computer's been
slow all morning.
171
00:10:26,658 --> 00:10:28,455
A processing attenuator is down.
172
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:30,086
Commander La Forge
has been running
173
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:32,563
a level-1 diagnostic on
it to isolate the problem.
174
00:10:38,837 --> 00:10:40,134
Geordi.
175
00:10:40,172 --> 00:10:43,767
Oh, it's good to see you
up and about again, sir.
176
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:47,142
Your eyes--
what happened to your VlSOR?
177
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:50,147
My VlSOR?
178
00:10:50,182 --> 00:10:51,809
Oh, l'm sorry, sir.
179
00:10:51,850 --> 00:10:53,875
Dr. Crusher told us
that you might not remember.
180
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,079
l haven't needed a VlSOR
181
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,213
since l got these cloned
implants, Captain.
182
00:11:09,134 --> 00:11:10,567
Captain.
183
00:11:13,305 --> 00:11:14,397
Welcome back, Captain.
184
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,102
We were not expecting to see you
on the Bridge so soon.
185
00:11:17,142 --> 00:11:20,634
Commander Data,
you are my First Officer?
186
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,408
Do you remember, sir?
187
00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:27,317
Data, l haven't remembered a day
for the last 16 years.
188
00:11:27,352 --> 00:11:28,785
Captain, warbird uncloaking.
189
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:30,379
On screen.
190
00:11:33,492 --> 00:11:35,517
Shields up.
191
00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:36,789
Red Alert.
192
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:41,095
Captain, we were expecting
the Decius.
193
00:11:41,133 --> 00:11:42,964
There is no cause for alarm.
194
00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:49,633
Cancel Red Alert.
195
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:52,906
Clearly, l need to be briefed.
196
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:55,004
Captain, the Decius
is hailing us.
197
00:11:55,047 --> 00:11:57,982
The Admiral wishes
to speak to you.
198
00:11:59,952 --> 00:12:01,476
On screen.
199
00:12:02,387 --> 00:12:04,378
Will.
200
00:12:07,459 --> 00:12:09,290
Admiral Picard.
201
00:12:09,328 --> 00:12:10,295
Deanna.
202
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:11,921
How are you feeling?
203
00:12:11,964 --> 00:12:13,261
l've been better.
204
00:12:13,298 --> 00:12:14,595
Not surprising.
205
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:17,033
Altarian viruses
can be a nasty business.
206
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:18,036
That's an understatement.
207
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:19,094
l can't even...
208
00:12:19,171 --> 00:12:21,503
We'll discuss this
after we've transported over.
209
00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:22,529
Picard out.
210
00:12:33,418 --> 00:12:36,979
Transporter Room Six.
211
00:12:37,022 --> 00:12:39,456
How are you holding up?
212
00:12:39,491 --> 00:12:42,551
l could get used to the idea
of a Ferengi ensign
213
00:12:42,594 --> 00:12:46,325
but Admiral Picard
aboard a Romulan warbird?
214
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,333
What is that all about?
215
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:51,268
l think l should leave
all the explanations
216
00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:52,736
to the Admiral.
217
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:57,604
Whenever you're ready, Chief.
218
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:06,675
Captain Riker
219
00:13:06,718 --> 00:13:08,982
it's good to see
you've recovered.
220
00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:12,479
l'm not exactly sure
you'd call it a recovery, sir.
221
00:13:12,524 --> 00:13:15,084
Then there has been
some memory loss?
222
00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:18,255
How much?
223
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:21,664
Everything
after Alpha Onias lll.
224
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:25,431
To lose 16 years...
225
00:13:25,470 --> 00:13:28,462
it's almost beyond belief.
226
00:13:29,474 --> 00:13:32,443
l have trouble
believing it myself.
227
00:13:32,477 --> 00:13:35,105
lt's so overwhelming to have
so much of your life missing.
228
00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:37,342
And it couldn't have happened
at a worse time.
229
00:13:37,382 --> 00:13:39,680
A few more days of relatively
simple negotiation
230
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:41,117
and the treaty will be signed.
231
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:43,347
What negotiations?
What treaty?
232
00:13:43,388 --> 00:13:44,685
Sorry.
233
00:13:44,723 --> 00:13:48,056
l'll start at the beginning...
234
00:13:48,093 --> 00:13:50,288
which is four years ago.
235
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:53,821
A Romulan battle cruiser
strayed into Federation space.
236
00:13:53,865 --> 00:13:55,696
lts warp coils had collapsed.
237
00:13:55,734 --> 00:13:57,224
Life support was failing.
238
00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:58,634
You saved them, Will.
239
00:13:58,670 --> 00:14:00,297
You and the Enterprise.
240
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:05,072
The Romulans were... impressed
to say the least.
241
00:14:05,143 --> 00:14:08,078
After years of distrust
and conflict
242
00:14:08,113 --> 00:14:10,581
they started to talk.
243
00:14:10,616 --> 00:14:12,481
You were our key spokesman
244
00:14:12,517 --> 00:14:15,611
in securing the alliance
with the Romulans.
245
00:14:15,654 --> 00:14:18,316
How far have
these negotiations progressed?
246
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,619
The preliminaries are over.
247
00:14:19,658 --> 00:14:22,092
All we need do now is escort
the Romulan Ambassador
248
00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:23,094
to the final session.
249
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:25,288
Where you will complete
the negotiations
250
00:14:25,330 --> 00:14:26,422
and sign the treaty.
251
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:29,434
Captain...
252
00:14:29,468 --> 00:14:32,437
Admiral
253
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:35,463
l am in no condition
to negotiate with the Romulans
254
00:14:35,507 --> 00:14:36,701
or with anyone else.
255
00:14:36,742 --> 00:14:39,210
Will, you're sound
of mind and body.
256
00:14:39,244 --> 00:14:40,575
lf you are properly briefed
257
00:14:40,612 --> 00:14:43,479
you'll still be able
to fulfill your duty.
258
00:14:43,515 --> 00:14:46,109
With a 16-year gap in my head?
259
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:49,449
We do need you.
260
00:14:52,824 --> 00:14:58,558
Sir, l'm not fit
to resume command.
261
00:14:58,597 --> 00:15:00,326
l appreciate your candor
262
00:15:00,365 --> 00:15:04,563
but despite your condition,
there is no one better equipped
263
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:07,231
to deal with the Romulans
than you.
264
00:15:14,112 --> 00:15:15,773
When do we leave?
265
00:15:15,814 --> 00:15:19,580
As soon as the Ambassador
transports over from the Decius.
266
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:24,681
We will get through this...
as we have many times before.
267
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:30,087
l hope so.
268
00:15:30,128 --> 00:15:33,097
Let me take you
to your quarters.
269
00:15:33,131 --> 00:15:34,598
Good idea.
270
00:15:34,633 --> 00:15:38,296
l've had enough surprises
for one day.
271
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,045
Anything familiar?
272
00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:00,954
Hi, Dad.
273
00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:13,332
...and then Mr. Greenburg
asked about the Fornax Disaster
274
00:16:13,372 --> 00:16:15,863
and l knew the Enterprise
saved all the colonists
275
00:16:15,907 --> 00:16:18,740
but l didn't know...
276
00:16:18,777 --> 00:16:20,768
Ah, here it is.
277
00:16:24,116 --> 00:16:26,380
But l didn't know
the exact stardate
278
00:16:26,418 --> 00:16:28,249
of when their sun went nova.
279
00:16:28,286 --> 00:16:30,584
So if you tell it to me,
l'll write it down
280
00:16:30,622 --> 00:16:32,783
and that way
l won't forget.
281
00:16:37,796 --> 00:16:41,493
You don't remember me, do you?
282
00:16:43,301 --> 00:16:44,632
l'm sorry.
283
00:16:44,669 --> 00:16:48,332
l need to talk
to your father, Jean-Luc.
284
00:16:48,373 --> 00:16:50,864
Would you mind leaving us alone
just for a moment?
285
00:17:04,289 --> 00:17:06,587
Why didn't you warn me?
286
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:09,890
Beverly hoped
that meeting him like this
287
00:17:09,928 --> 00:17:13,420
might make an impact--
help you remember.
288
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:16,059
Well, it made an impact,
all right.
289
00:17:16,101 --> 00:17:18,296
Give it time.
290
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:24,507
Jean-Luc.
291
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:26,738
Yes.
292
00:17:26,778 --> 00:17:30,942
The Admiral was very pleased
when you chose that name.
293
00:17:37,456 --> 00:17:40,016
He's a wonderful boy.
294
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:43,784
Deanna...
295
00:17:44,796 --> 00:17:47,492
who's his mother?
296
00:17:51,470 --> 00:17:53,597
She died two years ago.
297
00:17:55,073 --> 00:17:57,473
A shuttle accident.
298
00:17:58,910 --> 00:18:00,741
l'm sorry, Will.
299
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:10,051
l have no recollection
of her at all.
300
00:18:10,088 --> 00:18:13,751
What was she like?
301
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,820
Min was beautiful
302
00:18:18,864 --> 00:18:20,889
of course.
303
00:18:20,932 --> 00:18:22,160
Strong
304
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,533
intelligent, patient.
305
00:18:25,570 --> 00:18:27,902
Well, she was married to me.
306
00:18:27,939 --> 00:18:29,907
She had to be patient.
307
00:18:29,941 --> 00:18:33,069
She was
an excellent Captain's wife
308
00:18:33,144 --> 00:18:36,079
and a very good
ship's Counselor.
309
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:39,984
She took over after l left.
310
00:18:40,018 --> 00:18:42,509
l can't imagine
you leaving the Enterprise.
311
00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:48,248
Admiral Picard
offered me a position
312
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,591
at Starfleet Command.
313
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:54,087
lt was a tremendous opportunity.
314
00:18:54,132 --> 00:18:56,794
l couldn't refuse.
315
00:18:57,903 --> 00:19:02,033
But what's important
right now, today
316
00:19:02,073 --> 00:19:06,066
is that you have a son
who needs you.
317
00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:10,177
Spend time with him.
318
00:19:12,250 --> 00:19:15,742
You may find part
of what you've lost.
319
00:19:34,764 --> 00:19:36,391
Pretty bad, huh?
320
00:19:36,433 --> 00:19:37,559
l've heard better.
321
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:40,231
l've been practicing
322
00:19:40,270 --> 00:19:42,397
but l... l still
can't get a good tone.
323
00:19:42,439 --> 00:19:43,838
You're putting
too much pressure
324
00:19:43,873 --> 00:19:44,840
on the mouthpiece.
325
00:19:44,874 --> 00:19:45,841
Relax the embouchure.
326
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:47,433
Don't use any muscles
you don't need.
327
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:49,445
Show me again.
328
00:19:51,114 --> 00:19:54,106
Left hand, right hand.
329
00:20:08,798 --> 00:20:10,766
16 years, you'd think
l'd be able to hit that note.
330
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,926
Come on, Dad.
331
00:20:11,968 --> 00:20:13,868
You always make that mistake.
332
00:20:19,809 --> 00:20:22,437
Computer, summarize
service record
333
00:20:22,479 --> 00:20:24,606
Riker, William T., Captain.
334
00:20:24,647 --> 00:20:27,115
Begin with the Fornax Disaster.
335
00:20:27,150 --> 00:20:28,947
Please restate question.
336
00:20:28,985 --> 00:20:33,115
Service record,
Riker, William T.
337
00:20:33,156 --> 00:20:35,147
Damn it.
338
00:20:36,826 --> 00:20:37,793
Dad?
339
00:20:37,827 --> 00:20:39,294
Computer lag.
340
00:20:39,329 --> 00:20:43,095
l can't believe Geordi's
still running his diagnostic.
341
00:20:47,137 --> 00:20:48,627
ls, um, that what you wanted?
342
00:20:48,671 --> 00:20:50,298
Picard to Captain Riker.
343
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:51,807
The Romulan Ambassador
344
00:20:51,841 --> 00:20:54,742
is ready to transport
over from the Decius.
345
00:20:54,778 --> 00:20:55,904
On my way.
346
00:20:55,945 --> 00:20:57,071
l've got to go.
347
00:20:57,113 --> 00:20:58,580
Sure.
348
00:20:58,615 --> 00:21:00,446
Dad?
349
00:21:00,483 --> 00:21:02,974
Everything's going to be fine.
350
00:21:07,390 --> 00:21:08,379
-Thanks.
-Bye.
351
00:21:09,392 --> 00:21:10,586
Troi tells me you met Jean-Luc.
352
00:21:10,627 --> 00:21:13,755
How is my namesake
holding up to all this?
353
00:21:13,797 --> 00:21:15,264
Better than l am.
354
00:21:15,298 --> 00:21:16,959
We did our best to prepare him.
355
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,934
l'm trying to catch up
with all this.
356
00:21:18,968 --> 00:21:21,732
l've still got a long way
to go-- a long way.
357
00:21:21,771 --> 00:21:23,762
Just follow my lead
with the Ambassador.
358
00:21:23,807 --> 00:21:24,933
You'll be fine.
359
00:21:24,974 --> 00:21:26,100
The Decius reports
360
00:21:26,142 --> 00:21:28,770
the Ambassador is
waiting to transport.
361
00:21:28,812 --> 00:21:30,973
Beam him aboard.
362
00:21:38,321 --> 00:21:40,619
Admiral Picard, Captain Riker.
363
00:21:40,657 --> 00:21:42,682
lt's good to see you again.
364
00:21:42,725 --> 00:21:46,024
Ambassador Tomalak,
welcome aboard the Enterprise.
365
00:21:46,062 --> 00:21:47,086
Thank you, Admiral.
366
00:21:47,130 --> 00:21:49,530
lt is an honor
to be the first Romulan
367
00:21:49,566 --> 00:21:52,364
to freely walk
about a Federation starship.
368
00:21:56,940 --> 00:21:59,704
Ambassador Tomalak?
369
00:21:59,742 --> 00:22:01,334
At Nelvana lll, he threatened
370
00:22:01,377 --> 00:22:03,572
to take the hull
of the Enterprise home
371
00:22:03,613 --> 00:22:04,637
as a war trophy.
372
00:22:04,681 --> 00:22:07,241
That was a long time ago.
373
00:22:07,283 --> 00:22:11,219
Many things have changed,
including Tomalak.
374
00:22:14,290 --> 00:22:17,191
As soon as we arrive
at your Outpost 23
375
00:22:17,227 --> 00:22:19,252
the final negotiations
should go quickly.
376
00:22:19,295 --> 00:22:20,455
l agree, Ambassador.
377
00:22:20,497 --> 00:22:22,089
All of the difficult issues
have been resolved.
378
00:22:22,198 --> 00:22:23,426
After much debate.
379
00:22:23,466 --> 00:22:26,435
Your Captain Riker
is the kind of negotiator
380
00:22:26,469 --> 00:22:28,664
even the Ferengi should avoid.
381
00:22:28,705 --> 00:22:31,765
But we have come to an agreement
both sides are happy with.
382
00:22:31,808 --> 00:22:33,332
Largely thanks to Captain Riker.
383
00:22:33,376 --> 00:22:34,775
And we are grateful, Captain.
384
00:22:34,811 --> 00:22:38,110
The new alliance
will greatly benefit my people.
385
00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:39,945
As l hope it will benefit mine.
386
00:22:39,983 --> 00:22:41,644
Oh, it will, Captain, it will.
387
00:22:48,992 --> 00:22:50,823
Main Bridge.
388
00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:53,124
The virus you contracted,
Captain--
389
00:22:53,229 --> 00:22:54,355
have you fully recovered?
390
00:22:54,397 --> 00:22:56,388
l assure you,
Captain Riker is quite well.
391
00:22:56,432 --> 00:22:57,899
He is looking forward
392
00:22:57,934 --> 00:23:00,459
to attending the final
negotiations as planned.
393
00:23:00,503 --> 00:23:01,800
Excellent.
394
00:23:01,838 --> 00:23:05,740
The signing of this treaty
is an historic occasion.
395
00:23:05,775 --> 00:23:08,869
You, of all people,
deserve to be there.
396
00:23:08,912 --> 00:23:12,177
Thank you... Ambassador.
397
00:23:17,620 --> 00:23:21,249
So this is the Bridge
of the Enterprise.
398
00:23:21,291 --> 00:23:23,054
And this, l assume
399
00:23:23,092 --> 00:23:25,754
is your tactical position?
400
00:23:25,795 --> 00:23:27,262
lmpressive.
401
00:23:27,297 --> 00:23:28,730
Excuse me.
402
00:23:28,765 --> 00:23:31,757
Admiral, Deanna,
l need a moment with you.
403
00:23:31,801 --> 00:23:33,098
Commander Data, if you would
404
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:35,228
accompany the Ambassador
on his... tour?
405
00:23:35,271 --> 00:23:36,704
Certainly, sir.
406
00:23:36,739 --> 00:23:38,639
Excuse us, Ambassador.
407
00:23:41,377 --> 00:23:43,607
Ambassador, you may find
this of interest.
408
00:23:43,646 --> 00:23:45,273
These newly refined sensors
409
00:23:45,315 --> 00:23:47,943
are capable of pinpointing
power emissions
410
00:23:47,984 --> 00:23:50,111
of a cloaked warbird
even at warp.
411
00:23:50,153 --> 00:23:52,451
You say you trust Tomalak?
412
00:23:52,488 --> 00:23:53,716
l trust the process
413
00:23:53,756 --> 00:23:55,724
we have built
with the Romulans
414
00:23:55,758 --> 00:23:57,385
over the past four years.
415
00:23:57,427 --> 00:23:59,918
They have nothing
to gain by betrayal.
416
00:23:59,963 --> 00:24:01,123
Are you sure?
417
00:24:01,197 --> 00:24:04,064
You've always said it's
a chess game with the Romulans--
418
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:05,931
move, countermove,
guile and deceit.
419
00:24:05,969 --> 00:24:09,234
l sense no such dishonesty
in Tomalak.
420
00:24:09,272 --> 00:24:11,900
His desire for peace is sincere.
421
00:24:11,941 --> 00:24:13,909
He wants this alliance.
422
00:24:13,943 --> 00:24:16,571
There's no cause for concern.
423
00:24:16,613 --> 00:24:18,240
No cause for concern?
424
00:24:18,281 --> 00:24:21,910
We're talking about revealing
the location of Outpost 23--
425
00:24:21,951 --> 00:24:25,079
the key to all of our defenses
in the Neutral Zone.
426
00:24:25,188 --> 00:24:26,416
l'm sorry, Will.
427
00:24:26,456 --> 00:24:28,924
Your information is out of date.
428
00:24:28,958 --> 00:24:32,587
The strategic importance
of Outpost 23 is minimal.
429
00:24:32,629 --> 00:24:34,096
Has been for years.
430
00:24:34,163 --> 00:24:35,926
Dr. Crusher to Riker.
431
00:24:35,965 --> 00:24:37,762
Are you there, Captain?
432
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,097
What is it, Doctor?
433
00:24:39,135 --> 00:24:40,864
Your son has been injured.
434
00:24:40,903 --> 00:24:43,098
He's been taken to Sick Bay.
435
00:24:43,172 --> 00:24:45,470
You'd better come down here
right away.
436
00:24:51,481 --> 00:24:52,448
Dad.
437
00:24:52,482 --> 00:24:54,006
Are you all right?
438
00:24:54,050 --> 00:24:55,017
l'm fine.
439
00:24:55,051 --> 00:24:56,279
What happened?
440
00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:57,581
lt's broken
441
00:24:57,620 --> 00:25:01,249
but it's going to be
all right in just a minute.
442
00:25:01,291 --> 00:25:05,785
Now, let's go easy on this arm
for a little while, okay?
443
00:25:05,828 --> 00:25:07,523
How did this happen?
444
00:25:07,563 --> 00:25:09,360
l was in the gym...
445
00:25:09,399 --> 00:25:11,367
playing parrises squares.
446
00:25:11,401 --> 00:25:12,868
Parrises squares?
447
00:25:12,902 --> 00:25:14,699
l fell off the ramp.
448
00:25:14,737 --> 00:25:18,070
At your age, you could
break your neck!
449
00:25:18,174 --> 00:25:19,072
l'm sorry.
450
00:25:19,175 --> 00:25:20,608
l didn't mean to.
451
00:25:20,643 --> 00:25:22,577
Continue
the compression attenuator
452
00:25:22,612 --> 00:25:24,011
for another two minutes.
453
00:25:24,047 --> 00:25:25,014
Yes, Doctor.
454
00:25:25,048 --> 00:25:26,743
Can l talk to you for a moment?
455
00:25:28,584 --> 00:25:30,245
l'll be right back.
456
00:25:32,555 --> 00:25:33,715
Will, how old were you
457
00:25:33,756 --> 00:25:36,224
when you first started
playing parrises squares?
458
00:25:36,259 --> 00:25:40,093
All right. l was probably
a little younger than he is.
459
00:25:40,129 --> 00:25:43,098
lt's just that,
for all practical purposes
460
00:25:43,132 --> 00:25:46,101
this is my first day as a father
and he almost kills himself.
461
00:25:46,202 --> 00:25:48,102
He didn't almost kill himself.
462
00:25:48,171 --> 00:25:49,695
He just broke his wrist.
463
00:25:49,739 --> 00:25:53,231
Just like a lot of other boys
his age when they fall.
464
00:25:53,276 --> 00:25:54,834
You're right.
465
00:25:54,877 --> 00:25:56,708
lt's difficult.
466
00:25:56,746 --> 00:25:58,976
Difficult for you.
467
00:25:59,015 --> 00:26:00,846
What about for Jean-Luc?
468
00:26:00,883 --> 00:26:03,852
Can you imagine how he feels?
469
00:26:03,886 --> 00:26:05,513
You've lost 16 years.
470
00:26:05,555 --> 00:26:09,047
Jean-Luc has lost
a lot more than that.
471
00:26:09,125 --> 00:26:10,922
First, his mother...
472
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,723
and now, his father.
473
00:26:18,568 --> 00:26:19,796
Good as new, Captain.
474
00:26:19,836 --> 00:26:21,064
You can take him home.
475
00:26:21,104 --> 00:26:23,538
Thanks.
476
00:26:23,573 --> 00:26:25,040
How's the arm?
477
00:26:25,074 --> 00:26:26,063
lt's fine.
478
00:26:26,175 --> 00:26:27,733
Dad, l'm really sorry.
479
00:26:27,777 --> 00:26:30,473
l mean, l know you have
more important
480
00:26:30,513 --> 00:26:31,571
things to do...
481
00:26:31,614 --> 00:26:34,310
There is nothing more
important than this, son.
482
00:26:37,787 --> 00:26:38,776
Captain.
483
00:26:41,657 --> 00:26:43,386
Deck eight.
484
00:26:43,426 --> 00:26:44,586
Halt.
485
00:26:45,928 --> 00:26:48,556
l know how hard this is for you.
486
00:26:48,598 --> 00:26:49,826
lt's okay, Dad.
487
00:26:49,866 --> 00:26:52,061
No, okay is not good enough.
488
00:26:52,101 --> 00:26:54,001
When l was your age
489
00:26:54,036 --> 00:26:57,096
my own father
wasn't there for me
490
00:26:57,140 --> 00:26:59,108
and l really needed him.
491
00:26:59,175 --> 00:27:02,406
l've often wondered
what kind of father l'd be.
492
00:27:02,445 --> 00:27:05,414
l never felt quite ready.
493
00:27:06,582 --> 00:27:09,176
The idea even scared me
a little.
494
00:27:09,218 --> 00:27:10,685
Scared?
495
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,687
You?
496
00:27:11,721 --> 00:27:14,053
Yeah.
497
00:27:14,090 --> 00:27:16,524
But l guess l got over it--
you're here.
498
00:27:18,694 --> 00:27:19,888
Resume.
499
00:27:23,232 --> 00:27:24,699
lt's important to me
500
00:27:24,734 --> 00:27:27,328
that l don't
let you down, Jean-Luc.
501
00:27:27,370 --> 00:27:28,837
You never have, Dad.
502
00:27:28,871 --> 00:27:31,237
You've always been there for me.
503
00:27:31,274 --> 00:27:34,175
l'll have to take
your word for that
504
00:27:34,210 --> 00:27:37,077
because l don't
remember any of it--
505
00:27:37,146 --> 00:27:41,606
your first step,
your first tooth, nothing.
506
00:27:43,453 --> 00:27:45,717
And l want to remember.
507
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:56,996
l guess there's
only one thing we can do.
508
00:27:57,033 --> 00:27:59,524
We've got to build
some new memories.
509
00:28:01,637 --> 00:28:03,798
l'm not sure it's still
in the memory banks
510
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:04,807
but l used to have
511
00:28:04,841 --> 00:28:06,741
a great fishing program
on the holodeck.
512
00:28:06,776 --> 00:28:07,743
The Curtis Creek program?
513
00:28:07,777 --> 00:28:08,744
You know it.
514
00:28:08,778 --> 00:28:10,746
Sure, we've gone to Curtis Creek
lots of times.
515
00:28:10,780 --> 00:28:12,475
Would you like to go again?
516
00:28:12,515 --> 00:28:13,846
You bet.
517
00:28:13,883 --> 00:28:16,317
Well, as soon as these
negotiations are out of the way
518
00:28:16,352 --> 00:28:17,614
you and l are going fishing.
519
00:28:17,653 --> 00:28:19,711
Great.
520
00:28:19,844 --> 00:28:22,506
...and then Mom tried
to net the fish
521
00:28:22,547 --> 00:28:24,879
and she fell in the creek, too.
522
00:28:24,916 --> 00:28:27,476
And then you tried
to pull us both out
523
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:28,884
and you fell in.
524
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,683
l'm not sure
l want to remember that.
525
00:28:30,722 --> 00:28:32,519
Mom really liked Curtis Creek.
526
00:28:32,557 --> 00:28:36,254
We went there for picnics
and stuff lots of times.
527
00:28:37,695 --> 00:28:39,185
What was she like?
528
00:28:42,534 --> 00:28:44,866
She was great.
529
00:28:44,903 --> 00:28:48,430
l think of her a lot.
530
00:28:48,473 --> 00:28:50,964
l better go change.
531
00:29:01,152 --> 00:29:02,483

Damn!
537
00:29:45,530 --> 00:29:46,588
What's wrong, Dad?
538
00:29:46,631 --> 00:29:49,122
The computer still
isn't working properly.
539
00:29:49,167 --> 00:29:51,226
l can't bring up
a visual of your mother.
540
00:29:51,269 --> 00:29:53,464
But l know Mom's pictures
are in there.
541
00:29:53,504 --> 00:29:56,735

542
00:29:56,774 --> 00:29:57,968

Minuet.
547
00:30:36,247 --> 00:30:38,647
Mom was beautiful, wasn't she?
548
00:30:38,683 --> 00:30:40,412
Yes.
549
00:30:42,954 --> 00:30:44,683
What's wrong, Dad?
550
00:30:44,722 --> 00:30:46,485
La Forge to Riker.
551
00:30:46,524 --> 00:30:47,752
Riker here.
552
00:30:47,792 --> 00:30:49,350
Captain, please come
to the Bridge.
553
00:30:49,394 --> 00:30:50,383
On my way.
554
00:30:55,133 --> 00:30:56,327
What's the problem?
555
00:30:56,367 --> 00:30:57,994
l've had to shut down
the warp engines, Captain.
556
00:30:58,036 --> 00:30:59,765
Why?
557
00:30:59,804 --> 00:31:01,635
Antimatter containment
fields are fluctuating.
558
00:31:01,673 --> 00:31:03,038
lt's nothing to worry
about though.
559
00:31:03,141 --> 00:31:04,665
We're on the edge
of the Neutral Zone
560
00:31:04,709 --> 00:31:06,540
at impulse power,
and you're not concerned?
561
00:31:06,577 --> 00:31:08,602
l'll have the engines
back on line in no time.
562
00:31:08,646 --> 00:31:11,672
Like you tracked down that
faulty processing accelerator?
563
00:31:11,716 --> 00:31:13,513
l'm running
a level-1 diagnostic.
564
00:31:13,551 --> 00:31:14,518
For 30 hours?
565
00:31:14,552 --> 00:31:16,417
lt would never
take you more than four.
566
00:31:16,454 --> 00:31:20,754
You're incapable of that level
of incompetence, Mr. La Forge.
567
00:31:20,792 --> 00:31:24,728
Worf, where did you get
that scar?
568
00:31:24,762 --> 00:31:26,491
ln combat.
569
00:31:26,531 --> 00:31:27,828
What battle?
570
00:31:27,865 --> 00:31:30,026
When?
571
00:31:30,068 --> 00:31:32,263
Which sector?
572
00:31:32,303 --> 00:31:33,702
Which unit?
573
00:31:33,738 --> 00:31:35,899
Mr. Data, if we left immediately
574
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:38,602
when would we arrive
at Outpost 23?
575
00:31:40,111 --> 00:31:41,442
At warp one
576
00:31:41,479 --> 00:31:42,605
three days, four hours...
577
00:31:42,647 --> 00:31:43,773
What about at warp seven?
578
00:31:44,782 --> 00:31:46,079
At warp eight?
579
00:31:46,117 --> 00:31:47,084
At warp nine?
580
00:31:47,118 --> 00:31:48,949
What's the matter, Data?
581
00:31:48,987 --> 00:31:51,455
What happened to those millions
of calculations per second?
582
00:31:51,489 --> 00:31:52,456
Pardon me, sir.
583
00:31:52,490 --> 00:31:54,822
l am experiencing
subspace interference
584
00:31:54,859 --> 00:31:56,451
which limits my abilities.
585
00:31:56,494 --> 00:31:57,791
l can't operate as quickly as...
586
00:31:57,829 --> 00:31:58,796
What did you say?
587
00:31:58,830 --> 00:32:00,525
l said l cannot operate...
588
00:32:00,565 --> 00:32:02,192
No, that's not what you said.
589
00:32:02,233 --> 00:32:03,530
You said, ''l can't.''
590
00:32:03,568 --> 00:32:05,035
You used a contraction,
didn't you?
591
00:32:05,103 --> 00:32:07,298
Sir, l can explain
if you would just give me...
592
00:32:07,338 --> 00:32:08,828
No, you can't.
593
00:32:08,873 --> 00:32:10,033
Don't even try.
594
00:32:10,074 --> 00:32:12,838
Captain, perhaps
it would be best if we...
595
00:32:12,877 --> 00:32:14,344
Shut up!
596
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,611
l beg your pardon?
597
00:32:17,648 --> 00:32:18,706
l said shut up
598
00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:21,878
as in close your mouth
and stop talking.
599
00:32:21,919 --> 00:32:24,353
Will, l sense how upset you are.
600
00:32:24,389 --> 00:32:27,017
You're angry and impatient...
601
00:32:27,058 --> 00:32:29,219
Deanna, back off.
602
00:32:29,260 --> 00:32:34,288
Well, would anyone else
like to speak up
603
00:32:34,332 --> 00:32:37,392
or shall we end this charade?
604
00:32:42,407 --> 00:32:46,639
As you wish, Commander Riker.
605
00:32:46,677 --> 00:32:49,578
The charade is over.
606
00:33:03,895 --> 00:33:09,026
The Enterprise, my son--
you created it all.
607
00:33:09,133 --> 00:33:10,964
With the help
of our neural scanners
608
00:33:11,002 --> 00:33:13,027
and what you would
call a holodeck.
609
00:33:13,104 --> 00:33:14,537
Now, please tell me.
610
00:33:14,572 --> 00:33:16,767
How did you discover the truth?
611
00:33:16,808 --> 00:33:21,142
The future we created for you
should have been convincing.
612
00:33:21,179 --> 00:33:22,806
lt wasn't.
613
00:33:22,847 --> 00:33:25,714
There was a computer
time lag, for one thing.
614
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:27,047
Unavoidable.
615
00:33:27,118 --> 00:33:29,985
Our scanners have
a limited response time
616
00:33:30,021 --> 00:33:35,049
so whenever you strayed
from our... expectations...
617
00:33:35,093 --> 00:33:37,186
But surely, that was
not enough to...
618
00:33:37,228 --> 00:33:39,196
To smash your house of cards?
619
00:33:39,230 --> 00:33:45,226
No, it was the visual record
of my ''wife,'' Minuet.
620
00:33:45,269 --> 00:33:46,600
Bad move.
621
00:33:46,637 --> 00:33:49,663
But we chose someone from
your past who is still alive
622
00:33:49,707 --> 00:33:51,937
a woman you were
extremely attracted to.
623
00:33:51,976 --> 00:33:53,466
Your mistake, Tomalak.
624
00:33:53,511 --> 00:33:57,413
Minuet was nothing more than
a computer-generated fantasy
625
00:33:57,448 --> 00:34:00,076
l once experienced
on another holodeck.
626
00:34:00,151 --> 00:34:02,711
lmpossible.
627
00:34:02,753 --> 00:34:07,019
ln your mind, that woman
exists physically.
628
00:34:07,058 --> 00:34:10,550
Your feelings toward her
remain quite passionate.
629
00:34:11,662 --> 00:34:15,325
She was part
of a very special program.
630
00:34:16,567 --> 00:34:19,900
So much effort,
so little accomplished.
631
00:34:19,937 --> 00:34:22,735
lf it was Outpost 23
you were after
632
00:34:22,773 --> 00:34:25,037
why didn't you use
your neural scanners
633
00:34:25,143 --> 00:34:26,610
to probe my mind?
634
00:34:26,644 --> 00:34:29,704
Our scanners are calibrated
for Romulan brain patterns.
635
00:34:29,747 --> 00:34:32,375
When it comes to human brains,
they are less efficient.
636
00:34:32,416 --> 00:34:33,974
There were gaps
in the information
637
00:34:34,018 --> 00:34:35,383
we gathered from your memory.
638
00:34:35,419 --> 00:34:36,408
Gaps?
639
00:34:39,157 --> 00:34:43,025
From what l saw, l find
that hard to believe.
640
00:34:43,060 --> 00:34:46,052
You recreated the Enterprise--
641
00:34:46,130 --> 00:34:50,032
the crew, every nuance,
smell, sound--
642
00:34:50,067 --> 00:34:52,865
with perfect accuracy.
643
00:34:52,904 --> 00:34:55,031
l didn't see any gaps.
644
00:34:55,072 --> 00:34:57,563
l don't buy it, Tomalak.
645
00:34:59,810 --> 00:35:01,801
We are wasting time.
646
00:35:05,316 --> 00:35:06,578
Bring him!
647
00:35:12,857 --> 00:35:15,382
When you and your colleagues
transported to this planet
648
00:35:15,426 --> 00:35:17,553
you were less than
a kilometer from this base.
649
00:35:17,595 --> 00:35:19,119
Your capture was
a simple matter.
650
00:35:19,163 --> 00:35:21,131
My colleagues,
where are they?
651
00:35:21,165 --> 00:35:23,963
We allowed them to transport
safely back to the Enterprise
652
00:35:24,001 --> 00:35:25,434
but your signal was diverted.
653
00:35:25,469 --> 00:35:27,562
They won't stop
looking for me, Tomalak.
654
00:35:27,605 --> 00:35:28,911
They already have.
655
00:35:29,044 --> 00:35:32,844
Please say hello to your son.
656
00:35:39,254 --> 00:35:40,346
Jean-Luc?
657
00:35:40,389 --> 00:35:42,152
That is not his name, of course
658
00:35:42,191 --> 00:35:43,988
nor have you ever
really met him.
659
00:35:44,026 --> 00:35:46,927
We merely used his image
to augment your program.
660
00:35:52,534 --> 00:35:53,831
What have you done to him?
661
00:35:53,869 --> 00:35:55,598
While l am gone, please give
662
00:35:55,637 --> 00:35:57,798
careful thought
to your situation.
663
00:36:08,751 --> 00:36:10,218
What's your name?
664
00:36:14,056 --> 00:36:14,988
Whoa!
665
00:36:15,057 --> 00:36:17,184
lf we're going
to get out of here
666
00:36:17,226 --> 00:36:18,921
you're going to have
to trust me.
667
00:36:20,095 --> 00:36:21,892
Easy.
l'm not going to hurt you.
668
00:36:24,133 --> 00:36:25,828
Who are you?
669
00:36:28,404 --> 00:36:30,531
How did you get here?
670
00:36:30,572 --> 00:36:32,972
My name is Will.
671
00:36:37,046 --> 00:36:38,411
Ethan.
672
00:36:38,447 --> 00:36:41,314
They brought me here
with my parents.
673
00:36:41,350 --> 00:36:45,446
We were at a research
station at Miridian Vl.
674
00:36:45,487 --> 00:36:46,476
Miridian Vl?
675
00:36:46,522 --> 00:36:48,956
On the edge of the Neutral Zone.
676
00:36:48,991 --> 00:36:51,516
l thought that was uninhabited.
677
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,427
The station was set up
last year.
678
00:36:54,463 --> 00:36:56,363
Then the Romulans came.
679
00:36:56,398 --> 00:37:00,858
lt's odd that the Enterprise
wasn't advised.
680
00:37:02,871 --> 00:37:04,839
Where are your parents now?
681
00:37:04,873 --> 00:37:08,604
They took them away.
682
00:37:10,612 --> 00:37:12,807
Do you know why the Romulans
are keeping you here?
683
00:37:12,848 --> 00:37:13,872
No.
684
00:37:13,916 --> 00:37:17,249
l just want to get away.
685
00:37:17,286 --> 00:37:20,881
l'll get us out of here, Ethan.
686
00:37:22,658 --> 00:37:24,091
How?
687
00:37:24,126 --> 00:37:27,527
Even if we do get away,
they'll find us.
688
00:37:27,563 --> 00:37:29,929
They found me
when l escaped before.
689
00:37:29,965 --> 00:37:30,989
You escaped?
690
00:37:31,033 --> 00:37:32,398
Yes.
691
00:37:32,434 --> 00:37:36,302
l hid in a secret place
for weeks.
692
00:37:36,338 --> 00:37:40,741
They caught me
when l came out to find food.
693
00:37:42,144 --> 00:37:44,112
l want that information,
Commander.
694
00:37:44,146 --> 00:37:46,944
l want the location
of Outpost 23.
695
00:37:46,982 --> 00:37:49,678
Very well, l have been given
696
00:37:49,718 --> 00:37:53,017
permission to use whatever means
are necessary.
697
00:37:53,055 --> 00:37:54,022
Ethan, no!
698
00:37:54,123 --> 00:37:55,215
Stop him!
699
00:37:59,361 --> 00:38:01,693
That secret
hiding place of yours?
700
00:38:04,133 --> 00:38:05,532
This way!
701
00:38:11,373 --> 00:38:12,704
ln here!
702
00:38:54,249 --> 00:38:56,877
Their sensors
should have picked us up.
703
00:38:56,919 --> 00:38:58,216
No, they can't.
704
00:38:58,253 --> 00:38:59,550
l heard them.
705
00:38:59,588 --> 00:39:01,351
There's something
in these rocks.
706
00:39:01,390 --> 00:39:02,357
Heavy metals?
707
00:39:02,391 --> 00:39:03,380
Right.
708
00:39:06,695 --> 00:39:08,526
The Romulans forgot
all about this storeroom
709
00:39:08,564 --> 00:39:09,997
when they rebuilt their tunnels.
710
00:39:16,004 --> 00:39:18,336
Here, we can use these.
711
00:39:18,373 --> 00:39:19,499
Help me.
712
00:39:29,952 --> 00:39:34,946
After l escaped last time,
l mapped out all their tunnels.
713
00:39:37,826 --> 00:39:38,793
Supply depot.
714
00:39:38,827 --> 00:39:39,885
Mm-hmm.
715
00:39:39,928 --> 00:39:40,952
Communications
716
00:39:40,996 --> 00:39:42,793
living quarters and shuttle bay.
717
00:39:42,831 --> 00:39:45,197
How many guards
in the shuttle bay?
718
00:39:45,234 --> 00:39:46,826
Only two or three.
719
00:39:48,870 --> 00:39:50,861
lf we stole a shuttlecraft,
that would get us nowhere
720
00:39:50,906 --> 00:39:54,342
because the Romulans
could follow their own ship
721
00:39:54,376 --> 00:39:56,344
too easily.
722
00:39:56,378 --> 00:40:00,144
But if we broke into
their communications system
723
00:40:00,182 --> 00:40:03,447
we could send a message
to the Enterprise.
724
00:40:03,485 --> 00:40:05,282
Can't do that.
725
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,881
The transmitter is on a voice-
activated security system only.
726
00:40:08,924 --> 00:40:10,687
Do you know whose voice
activates it?
727
00:40:10,726 --> 00:40:12,853
Only Ambassador Tomalak.
728
00:40:14,329 --> 00:40:15,956
Who?
729
00:40:15,998 --> 00:40:17,465
Tomalak.
730
00:40:17,499 --> 00:40:19,262
Ambassador Tomalak?
731
00:40:20,769 --> 00:40:23,602
Tomalak is a Romulan Captain.
732
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:26,005
The only time
he was ever called Ambassador
733
00:40:26,041 --> 00:40:27,508
was in a holodeck fantasy.
734
00:40:27,542 --> 00:40:29,976
How do you know about that?
735
00:40:30,012 --> 00:40:33,641
You, uh...
you told me about him.
736
00:40:33,682 --> 00:40:35,513
Who are you?
737
00:40:35,550 --> 00:40:38,348
What is your part in all this?
738
00:40:40,355 --> 00:40:42,050
They've found us!
739
00:40:42,124 --> 00:40:44,854
But you said the sensors
didn't work in these tunnels.
740
00:40:44,893 --> 00:40:46,383
Uh, they must have fixed them.
741
00:40:46,428 --> 00:40:47,395
We've got to go.
742
00:40:47,429 --> 00:40:48,953
Where are we going to go, Ethan?
743
00:40:48,997 --> 00:40:50,259
The shuttle bay.
744
00:40:50,299 --> 00:40:51,596
There's still time.
745
00:40:51,633 --> 00:40:53,931
l've had enough.
746
00:40:53,969 --> 00:40:56,767
Commander,
surrender your weapon.
747
00:40:56,805 --> 00:40:58,170
No more games.
748
00:40:59,775 --> 00:41:01,743
No more fantasies.
749
00:41:01,777 --> 00:41:04,507
l'm not going to play anymore.
750
00:41:15,657 --> 00:41:17,784
lt was never the Romulans.
751
00:41:17,826 --> 00:41:19,726
lt was you all along, wasn't it?
752
00:41:27,469 --> 00:41:29,460
There is no question
about it, sir.
753
00:41:29,504 --> 00:41:30,493
lt is his signal.
754
00:41:30,539 --> 00:41:32,700
Picard to Commander Riker,
do you read me?
755
00:41:32,741 --> 00:41:34,971
Riker to Picard, l'm here.
756
00:41:35,010 --> 00:41:36,637
Are you all right?
757
00:41:36,678 --> 00:41:38,270
Yes, sir, l'm all right.
758
00:41:38,313 --> 00:41:39,610
What about Geordi and Worf?
759
00:41:39,648 --> 00:41:41,741
We beamed them up an hour ago.
They're fine.
760
00:41:41,783 --> 00:41:43,478
But we lost you
in mid-transport.
761
00:41:43,518 --> 00:41:44,576
Where have you been?
762
00:41:44,619 --> 00:41:46,143
What is going on down there?
763
00:41:46,188 --> 00:41:47,815
l'm not sure yet, sir.
764
00:41:47,856 --> 00:41:50,188
But l think
l'm about to find out.
765
00:41:50,225 --> 00:41:51,624
Stand by.
766
00:42:03,872 --> 00:42:05,339
What shall l call you?
767
00:42:05,374 --> 00:42:07,934
Ethan? Jean-Luc?
768
00:42:07,976 --> 00:42:10,706
Doesn't matter.
769
00:42:12,381 --> 00:42:14,941
This room, it's more
than a holodeck, isn't it?
770
00:42:14,983 --> 00:42:16,382
Much more.
771
00:42:16,418 --> 00:42:18,682
The neural scanners
read my mind.
772
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,187
Give me anything l want--
773
00:42:20,222 --> 00:42:21,382
just like they tried
774
00:42:21,423 --> 00:42:23,414
to give you
everything you wanted.
775
00:42:23,458 --> 00:42:24,823
Everything l wanted?!
776
00:42:24,860 --> 00:42:26,657
You probed the Enterprise.
777
00:42:26,695 --> 00:42:29,994
You lured us here so you
could play games with me.
778
00:42:30,031 --> 00:42:31,965
l didn't want that, you did.
779
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:32,967
Why?
780
00:42:33,001 --> 00:42:34,662
My world was invaded.
781
00:42:34,703 --> 00:42:37,968
My people, killed.
782
00:42:38,006 --> 00:42:39,473
My mother brought me here
783
00:42:39,508 --> 00:42:41,567
so our enemies
would never find me.
784
00:42:47,749 --> 00:42:49,979
They found her, didn't they?
785
00:42:53,422 --> 00:42:57,256
She knew that they would
never stop looking for her
786
00:42:57,292 --> 00:43:00,420
so she made sure
l would be safe.
787
00:43:09,938 --> 00:43:12,771
She left the scanners
to protect me--
788
00:43:12,808 --> 00:43:15,242
to give me anything l wanted.
789
00:43:15,277 --> 00:43:16,904
Anything?
790
00:43:16,945 --> 00:43:18,572
Then why did you kidnap me?
791
00:43:18,613 --> 00:43:20,478
l wanted you to stay.
792
00:43:20,515 --> 00:43:23,279
lt's been so long.
793
00:43:23,318 --> 00:43:28,620
l just wanted somebody... real.
794
00:43:28,657 --> 00:43:31,182
l thought that you'd be happy.
795
00:43:33,728 --> 00:43:35,320
l'm sorry.
796
00:43:39,668 --> 00:43:42,569
l have to return to my ship.
797
00:43:50,278 --> 00:43:52,542
Come with me.
798
00:43:52,581 --> 00:43:54,879
You don't have
to stay here anymore.
799
00:43:54,916 --> 00:43:57,942
You don't have
to be alone anymore.
800
00:44:04,025 --> 00:44:05,925
My name is Barash.
801
00:44:14,302 --> 00:44:17,203
To me,
you'll always be Jean-Luc.
802
00:44:20,976 --> 00:44:22,967
Two to transport.
