These Are the Voyages...

00:00:01

When are they expecting you in Brazil?

00:00:03

I told them a couple weeks after the ceremony.

00:00:05

With all the receptions, and then I'll need at least a week to clear up the linguistic database.

00:00:10

After 10 years on this ship,

00:00:12

I bet it'll take a while getting used to the humidity again.

00:00:15

And the bugs.

00:00:17

Does the captain have to give a speech?

00:00:19

He's working on it now.

00:00:21

He hates giving speeches.

00:00:23

He'll undoubtedly make every effort to take no credit.

00:00:26

Undoubtedly.

00:00:27

That'd be like zefram cochrane not taking credit for warp drive.

00:00:31

How do you pronounce the name of the second tellarite liberator?

00:00:34

-Challash? -Shallash.

00:00:37

Shallash. Thanks.

00:00:39

How's it going, sir?

00:00:40

Whatever I write, it sounds like I'm trying to take credit for this.

00:00:43

Captain, Admiral Douglas is asking you to approve the decommission protocols.

00:00:47

One thing at a time. After the charter's signed,

00:00:49

I'll give him whatever he needs to put Enterprise in mothballs.

00:00:52

[Riker] First officer's personal log, Stardate 47457.1.

00:02:41

With the unexpected arrival of Admiral Pressman, my old C.O.,

00:02:45

I find myself in an awkward position.

00:02:48

Counselor Troi has suggested I might get a few insights

00:02:50

by calling up an historic holoprogram.

00:03:01

{\an8}[Troi] Are you sure you don't want to talk about what happened?

00:03:03

{\an8}I've told you everything I can.

00:03:05

{\an8}If it's a question of breaking a promise...

00:03:07

{\an8}Not a promise. An order.

00:03:10

{\an8}Have you learned anything on the holodeck about breaking orders?

00:03:12

{\an8}Not yet.

00:03:14

{\an8}I've gone back a couple of days earlier to get a perspective.

00:03:16

{\an8}But I really don't see how this is gonna help.

00:03:19

{\an8}That's why you run a starship, and I'm a counselor.

00:03:24

{\an8}Reed's shorter than I thought he'd be.

00:03:26

{\an8}Maybe the program's off.

00:03:27

{\an8}No, I'm sure it's fine.

00:03:29

{\an8}It's just, you expect larger-than-life people

00:03:31

{\an8}to be larger-than-life.

00:03:32

{\an8}-Has the Andorian hailed them? -Not yet.

00:03:34

{\an8}You might want to leap ahead to that point.

00:03:36

{\an8}It's where things start really happening.

00:03:38

{\an8}And you should consider taking over the galley.

00:03:41

{\an8}Why?

00:03:42

{\an8}Well, Starfleet ships didn't have counselors in those days,

00:03:44

{\an8}But the chef on the first Enterprise came pretty close.

00:03:48

{\an8}I read almost everybody confided in him.

00:03:50

{\an8}I'll keep that in mind.

00:03:52

{\an8}-Supper? -You bet.

00:03:53

{\an8}-I'll give you an update. -OK.

00:03:59

{\an8}That's impossible.

00:04:02

{\an8}Shran's been dead for what, three years?

00:04:04

{\an8}[beeping]

00:04:09

{\an8}This is quite a surprise.

00:04:11

{\an8}I'm sorry, pink-skin, but it was essential

00:04:14

{\an8}certain people believed I had met my demise.

00:04:17

Including me.

00:04:18

I know it's been a while, but as I recall, you still owe me a favor.

00:04:23

I remember.

00:04:25

But this isn't a good time, Shran.

00:04:27

I assume you know where we're heading.

00:04:29

I may no longer be a member of the imperial guard,

00:04:31

but I'm aware of the proposed coalition.

00:04:33

It's more than a proposal.

00:04:35

We're on our way to earth to sign the charter.

00:04:37

The ceremony isn't for three days.

00:04:39

If my plan works, you'll be home in plenty of time.

00:04:42

[scoffs]

00:04:44

I'm afraid a detour is out of the question right now.

00:04:47

My child's been abducted!

00:04:50

Kidnapped. You owe me.

00:04:54

You never told me you had a child.

00:04:56

Jhamel gave birth five years ago. A daughter. They've taken her.

00:05:01

Who?

00:05:03

Former associates. It's a long story. You need to let me come aboard.

00:05:13

Set a rendezvous course.

00:05:14

Computer, freeze program.

00:05:16

[beeps]

00:05:17

Advance ahead one hour.

00:05:20

Switch to objective mode.

00:05:30

[Shran] Who would have thought civilian life would be more dangerous than commanding a ship for the imperial guard.

00:05:35

I still don't understand why you left. You were a hero.

00:05:39

A hero with a family.

00:05:42

I always believed that change was a good thing.

00:05:46

I was a fool.

00:05:47

-Why would you fake your own death? -I made some poor choices.

00:05:51

Picked the wrong friends, people involved in questionable business ventures.

00:05:57

They think I took something that belonged to them.

00:06:01

With the help of some old colleagues from the guard,

00:06:04

I managed to make myself disappear.

00:06:07

It worked... for nearly three years.

00:06:11

-Your friends found you? -Six months ago.

00:06:14

I've been on the move ever since.

00:06:17

They took her in the middle of the night.

00:06:20

I was in the next room, asleep!

00:06:24

Useless!

00:06:27

It's been a week.

00:06:29

They say if I don't return what's theirs, they'll kill her.

00:06:34

Then give them what they want.

00:06:36

I don't have it! I never did.

00:06:39

But you have a plan.

00:06:41

[Shran] It cost me everything I had, but I managed to find out where they've taken her.

00:06:47

They're on a trading outpost, Rigel X.

00:06:50

-I'm familiar with it. -I know these men quite well, Captain.

00:06:53

I can outwit them. I've done it before. But I'll need at least seven men.

00:06:58

You have to help me. It's my little girl.

00:07:03

He's an admitted criminal. You said so yourself.

00:07:06

He said he fell in with some disreputable people.

00:07:08

That doesn't make him a criminal.

00:07:10

If we're late for the ceremony, it'll have far-reaching consequences.

00:07:13

If Shran hadn't helped us,

00:07:14

I never would have gotten aboard the Xindi weapon.

00:07:16

Have you forgotten that?

00:07:18

This alliance is based on friendship and loyalty, exactly what Shran is looking for right now.

00:07:22

I don't trust him.

00:07:23

You don't trust Andorians. You never have.

00:07:25

Thank god the Vulcan council is a little more enlightened than you are.

00:07:29

If they're willing to forge an alliance with Andoria, the least you can do is give Shran the benefit of the doubt.

00:07:34

When we met 10 years ago, I didn't trust you.

00:07:39

For that matter, I didn't trust any Vulcans.

00:07:41

You helped me get past that, remember?

00:07:44

I listened to you. Now it's your turn to listen to me.

00:07:48

I can't turn my back on him, T'pol.

00:07:51

-Try to understand. -I'll try.

00:07:55

[Archer] By the way...

00:07:58

Drop by the galley when you get a moment.

00:08:01

Chef's trying to come up with a menu for our last dinner together.

00:08:04

He wants to know everybody's favorite dish.

00:08:07

[T'pol] There are 83 crew members aboard.

00:08:09

Just go see him, all right?

00:08:12

[whining]

00:08:16

[Archer] Don't worry.

00:08:18

Chef's promised at least six kinds of cheese.

00:08:22

[T'pol] I appreciate the gesture, but it's not necessary to prepare a special dish for me.

00:08:27

Come on.

00:08:29

I've already started to reduce the plomeek broth.

00:08:31

All I need to know is which roots you prefer.

00:08:34

In that case, I prefer to be surprised.

00:08:37

Pull up a chair. I could use the company.

00:08:41

I heard a rumor I may be whipping up some Andorian cabbage soup tonight.

00:08:45

We have already lost five hours picking up Shran's shuttle.

00:08:49

Now we're going to lose at least another day diverting our course to Rigel.

00:08:53

His child's in danger.

00:08:55

Is there anything aboard this ship you don't know?

00:08:58

Jonathan is a compassionate man. You should know that by now.

00:09:01

His compassion has gotten us into trouble on many occasions.

00:09:06

We could miss this ceremony.

00:09:08

Don't worry. I've got a hunch you're gonna make it.

00:09:11

-Tea? -Thank you.

00:09:13

Phlox has given me his largest Edosian suckerfish.

00:09:17

Excuse me?

00:09:20

Looks like a catfish. I'm hoping it tastes like one.

00:09:23

Commander Tucker's crazy for catfish.

00:09:26

Do you ever miss him?

00:09:28

I spent the morning with him, recalibrating the plasma array.

00:09:31

That's not what I mean.

00:09:32

If you're referring to our intimate relationship, that's been over for six years.

00:09:38

But the question remains, do you miss him?

00:09:40

I'm Vulcan. I don't miss people.

00:09:44

Sorry. I forgot.

00:09:45

Is he as concerned as you about making this ceremony?

00:09:48

Trip rarely questions the Captain's decisions.

00:09:50

He doesn't strike me as someone who follows orders blindly.

00:09:54

He's not.

00:09:55

He simply tends to agree with the Captain most of the time.

00:09:58

He trusts him.

00:10:01

Would you peel these for me?

00:10:07

Before I joined this crew,

00:10:09

I never could have imagined anything more important than following orders.

00:10:12

And now?

00:10:14

Humans believe that sometimes you have to follow your instincts.

00:10:19

Very illogical approach, but one I've come to embrace.

00:10:26

-Computer, freeze program. -[computer beeps]

00:10:29

Thanks.

00:10:42

[beeping]

00:10:52

[door opens]

00:10:54

There you are.

00:10:57

Someone you know?

00:10:58

Someone I knew.

00:11:00

Pegasus?

00:11:01

Phil Wallace. Hell of a handball player.

00:11:05

Pressman was getting ready to promote him.

00:11:07

How many died?

00:11:09

Seventy one. All but nine of us.

00:11:12

How do you feel about learning the ship wasn't destroyed?

00:11:16

What difference does it make? 71 people died.

00:11:20

You're feeling guilty.

00:11:23

You think, in some way, you were responsible?

00:11:25

You're the empath. Why don't you tell me?

00:11:30

I think it's something else, something about seeing that ship again.

00:11:34

-Why don't we change the subject? OK? -OK.

00:11:38

How did things go on the holodeck?

00:11:41

They picked up the Andorian. They're on their way to Rigel X.

00:11:43

I was referring to any insight you may have gained.

00:11:46

I took your advice about the chef. You were right. T'pol opened up to me.

00:11:50

-Have you met with Commander Tucker? -No, I haven't made it to Engineering yet.

00:11:54

-Have you spent any time on the NX-01? -I've never run the program.

00:11:57

What about the ship itself?

00:11:59

I think I went when I was a little girl, but I get all those museum ships mixed up.

00:12:03

Now's your chance. Come on down with me.

00:12:06

I have an appointment in an hour.

00:12:08

I'll get you back in plenty of time. Come on.

00:12:12

Our Brig is bigger than this.

00:12:13

A lot of things change in 200 years. Watch yourself!

00:12:16

No fish tank.

00:12:17

How could archer survive without a fish tank?

00:12:23

Allow me.

00:12:29

He does have a dog, though.

00:12:30

Right, I remember. One of the musketeers.

00:12:33

Porthos.

00:12:35

Oh, comfy.

00:12:36

No seat for the first officer?

00:12:39

Perhaps, Archer wasn't as fussy as Captain Picard, when it came to people sitting in his chair.

00:12:46

[beeping]

00:12:48

I remember seeing one of these in a photograph.

00:12:50

Kirk's ship had them, I think. Engineering's down this way.

00:12:54

There's something lonely about a ship without its crew.

00:12:57

Computer, add an appropriate crew complement, objective mode.

00:13:00

[beeping]

00:13:02

That's better.

00:13:04

If you recall, Rigel X is filled with a very unsavory element.

00:13:09

And I rather doubt Shran's scheme will be quite as simple as he claims.

00:13:12

I can't imagine the Captain would put us in jeopardy this close to signing the charter.

00:13:16

-I don't like it. -[electronic humming]

00:13:19

What exactly are you doing?

00:13:21

These injectors need to be purged every six months.

00:13:25

Are the deuterium filters clear?

00:13:27

-We've done all but three. -All right.

00:13:29

-Make it quick. -Aye, sir.

00:13:32

Well, what's the point?

00:13:33

This ship will be joining the mothball fleet next week.

00:13:36

I pretty much built this engine.

00:13:38

Plan to take care of it as long as I can.

00:13:43

[sighs]

00:13:46

Been a hell of a run, Malcolm.

00:13:50

I never thought it would come to an end.

00:13:56

All good things...

00:14:00

Captain thinks there'll be another Enterprise before too long.

00:14:04

I imagine.

00:14:06

It won't be the same.

00:14:11

That's OK.

00:14:15

Come on.

00:14:22

It's sad.

00:14:24

Commander Tucker had no idea he wouldn't make it back.

00:14:29

How reliable are your sources?

00:14:31

[Shran] They're criminals, but honorable ones.

00:14:34

They promise me that Talla's being held here. At upper level 4.

00:14:38

Have you fashioned the amethyst?

00:14:40

The photograph you gave us had poor resolution, but I'm confident our replication will look authentic.

00:14:46

The Teneebian amethyst they think I stole was flawless.

00:14:49

They'll undoubtedly have magnifying equipment with them.

00:14:51

They'll need a spectral micrometer to see it's a fabrication.

00:14:55

How many do you expect to show up?

00:14:57

-Computer, freeze program. -[beeping]

00:15:02

-He's cute. -Don't get any ideas.

00:15:05

Reg will be furious if I'm late.

00:15:07

-Are you gonna stay? -[Riker] Yeah, for a little while.

00:15:09

Good luck. Computer, arch.

00:15:16

Computer, how long before they reach Rigel X?

00:15:18

[computer] Sixteen hours, 22 minutes.

00:15:20

Advance to that point. Stay in objective mode.

00:15:24

Move into a stationary orbit.

00:15:26

[Travis] Aye, sir.

00:15:27

Put a team together. Meet us in the launch bay.

00:15:29

[Tucker] Captain, can I have a word with you?

00:15:35

We can handle this without you.

00:15:37

-Well, that's flattering. -You know what I mean.

00:15:40

You've got the biggest day of your life coming up.

00:15:42

A lot of people are counting on you being there.

00:15:44

I appreciate you worrying about me, but I'll be fine.

00:15:46

You don't need to be putting yourself in harm's way.

00:15:49

I'm telling you, we can take care of it.

00:15:51

Rigel was the first place we visited, remember?

00:15:53

Now it's gonna be the last.

00:15:55

Poetic justice.

00:15:57

Why should you have all the fun?

00:16:05

We're going through the troposphere.

00:16:07

Might get a little bumpy.

00:16:08

Have you been down to see chef yet?

00:16:11

First thing this morning. You?

00:16:15

He talked about you.

00:16:17

-Me? -Us.

00:16:19

[Tucker] What about us?

00:16:23

It's not important.

00:16:25

[chuckles] Why'd you bring it up, then?

00:16:28

[rumbling]

00:16:33

Do you ever miss me?

00:16:37

-You mean... -Yes.

00:16:40

You know how long it's been?

00:16:42

That's not what I asked you.

00:16:45

Well, um...

00:16:49

Yeah, I guess, sometimes.

00:16:54

I haven't thought about those days in a long time.

00:16:57

Benefit of being a Vulcan.

00:17:00

After speaking with chef,

00:17:02

I realized we may never see each other again.

00:17:04

-What are you talking about? -We're taking different assignments.

00:17:08

-There's no way of knowing-- -There's every way of knowing.

00:17:13

I can guarantee you we're not gonna lose touch.

00:17:17

Stop thinking like that.

00:17:23

However long it may be, I believe I'm going to miss you.

00:17:30

[Archer] Archer to Shuttlepod 2.

00:17:32

Go ahead, sir.

00:17:33

[Archer] Shran's made contact. Everything's set.

00:17:36

-I'll lead you in. -Understood.

00:17:56

[Alien] Stop there.

00:18:00

Unless I'm mistaken,

00:18:01

I thought you had no idea where the amethyst was.

00:18:05

Where's my daughter?

00:18:06

Funny how a missing child is a way to jog the memory, eh, Shran?

00:18:10

Where is she?

00:18:12

I thought you were happily married.

00:18:14

Who's the Vulcan?

00:18:15

I'm not interested in your associates, so don't question mine.

00:18:19

Put the case down and open it.

00:18:21

We want the child first.

00:18:23

I could shoot you both.

00:18:24

You'll never get this case open, I promise you.

00:18:28

You let a female negotiate for you, eh, Shran?

00:18:31

You heard her.

00:18:43

-Are you all right? -I'm hungry.

00:18:46

Now open the case.

00:18:52

[beeping]

00:19:07

Set it down.

00:19:16

Now back up.

00:19:21

Let her take the girl.

00:19:23

Fine, but you stay.

00:19:25

One step, and this little blue beauty won't have a father to come home to.

00:19:37

I want you to go with T'pol. You'll be safe with her.

00:19:42

She'll find you something to eat.

00:19:48

Obey your father.

00:20:02

Now step back.

00:20:16

[beeping]

00:20:25

[beeping]

00:20:27

-What are you doing? -[beeping]

00:20:42

[screams]

00:20:44

Stand still, and you won't be harmed!

00:20:47

[shouts indistinctly]

00:21:12

Ugh!

00:21:22

Aah!

00:21:34

Hold on!

00:21:39

[grunting]

00:21:42

Thanks, boss.

00:21:46

Anytime.

00:21:56

You're certain that it won't be a problem?

00:22:00

[Archer] I'll feel more comfortable getting you away from your friends at warp 4.

00:22:04

[Shran] My shuttle may be slow, but their ships can barely make warp 2.

00:22:08

All the same, you'll be under your own power by tomorrow night.

00:22:11

We'll contact your wife and tell her to expect you the next morning.

00:22:14

I told you my plan would only take a few hours.

00:22:16

You're welcome.

00:22:18

[chuckles]

00:22:19

You should let phlox take a look at her before you go to your quarters.

00:22:22

Whatever you say, captain.

00:22:24

Thanks, pink-skin.

00:22:26

[chuckles]

00:22:30

You must be getting tired of saving my life.

00:22:33

I'm glad I didn't take your advice about not coming along.

00:22:35

Yeah, you and me both.

00:22:36

Then again, you almost got yourself killed down there.

00:22:39

Wouldn't have gone over too big at the ceremony.

00:22:41

Signing documents are easy. Training a new engineer... that can be a real pain in the ass.

00:22:59

-[communicator beeps] -[Data] Data to counselor Troi.

00:23:02

Yes, Data?

00:23:03

[Data] I was wondering if this might be an appropriate time

00:23:05

to continue our discussion on the long-term effects of space travel

00:23:08

on my positronic net.

00:23:10

Can I give you a rain check?

00:23:12

[Data] You may, check me for rain if you wish, counselor,

00:23:15

but I assure you, I have no water in my--

00:23:17

-[door chimes] -Data, I'll get back to you.

00:23:19

Come in.

00:23:21

I know it's past office hours.

00:23:23

What is it?

00:23:27

It won't be long before they find the Pegasus.

00:23:29

You haven't made your decision.

00:23:33

[Troi] The holodeck?

00:23:34

They rescued the Andorian's daughter.

00:23:35

So, you're coming to the moment of truth in there, as well.

00:23:39

I need you to promise you'll keep this confidential.

00:23:42

You know I will.

00:23:43

What do you know about the treaty of Algeron?

00:23:45

2311. It redefined the Romulan neutral zone.

00:23:49

It also outlawed the use of cloaking technology on Starfleet vessels.

00:23:54

The Pegasus?

00:23:56

A secret group in Starfleet security developed a prototype.

00:23:59

Pressman was put in charge of testing it.

00:24:01

That's why they're so eager to find it before the Romulans do.

00:24:05

The accident, the 71 people who died...

00:24:08

-We were testing the cloaking device. -It was covered up.

00:24:12

The nine of us who made it back alive were sworn to secrecy.

00:24:15

And you've lived with that for 12 years?

00:24:17

And they want to pick the experiment up where they left off.

00:24:20

Are you sure?

00:24:22

Pressman told me himself.

00:24:24

What they're doing is wrong.

00:24:27

It could jeopardize the treaty.

00:24:31

And you want to tell that to Captain Picard.

00:24:33

I took an oath of secrecy. Pressman still outranks the Captain.

00:24:38

Will...

00:24:41

You didn't get this far in your career making easy decisions.

00:24:46

I'm confident you'll make the right one now.

00:24:50

I wish I was.

00:24:53

[Reed] He was anything but tactful.

00:24:56

What his countrymen might refer to as a hick.

00:24:58

For the life of me,

00:24:59

I couldn't understand what captain archer saw in him.

00:25:01

Thinner. Roll it a little bit thinner, like this.

00:25:03

Oh, yeah, right.

00:25:05

[Riker] Go on.

00:25:06

[Reed sighs] That's about it, really.

00:25:08

I used to think that first impressions meant something.

00:25:11

I guess it's not always true. You know, to be honest,

00:25:15

I didn't think he was gonna last a month.

00:25:17

Old friend of the captain's or not.

00:25:20

And now, I can't imagine what these last 10 years would have been like without him.

00:25:25

Did you ever find yourself attracted to him?

00:25:28

-Maybe a little. -Hmm.

00:25:30

-I never really thought he was my type. -Hmm.

00:25:32

Didn't even graduate college, he learned about engineering working on boat engines, I think.

00:25:38

Never cared much about languages.

00:25:40

[snickers] Could barely speak English.

00:25:45

But he did have his moments.

00:25:49

I still find him kind of cute.

00:25:52

-Keep that to yourself. -Always do.

00:25:55

Captain said they've known each other a long time.

00:25:57

Close to 20 years.

00:25:59

He taught the captain how to scuba dive somewhere off the coast of Florida.

00:26:02

You're pressing too hard. Just slow, steady movement.

00:26:04

-Oh, sorry. -No need to apologize.

00:26:06

They've got a shorthand they use sometimes.

00:26:08

Comes from spending so much time together.

00:26:11

Did Trip ever take a swing at Picard?

00:26:13

-At who? -Archer, Captain Archer?

00:26:17

Not that I know of. When push comes to shove,

00:26:20

Commander Tucker usually ends up doing the right thing.

00:26:23

[Travis] How am I doing?

00:26:24

Well, don't let it get too big. Now fold it over.

00:26:26

There you go.

00:26:27

[laughing]

00:26:30

And he's always pushing himself, Often to the point of exhaustion.

00:26:33

He's forced me to order him to relax on more than one occasion.

00:26:36

To relax?

00:26:37

Yeah. Wasn't very keen on getting neuropressure treatments from T'pol.

00:26:41

But it was that or become addicted to sedatives.

00:26:44

If I remember correctly, that's when...

00:26:46

Their romance began? Mm. Precisely.

00:26:49

One time, he became so exhausted, I had to demand he get six hours sleep.

00:26:53

He negotiated it down to four. A very stubborn young man.

00:26:58

Ah! [chuckles] I quite enjoy this.

00:27:02

So did he follow your orders?

00:27:03

Didn't have a choice.

00:27:06

You've always got a choice.

00:27:10

So, you think this alliance is gonna hold?

00:27:12

We better hope so.

00:27:13

There are thousands of planets within reach.

00:27:15

Got to start somewhere.

00:27:17

Who would have guessed?

00:27:18

Vulcans and Andorians in the same bed.

00:27:22

The Tellarites were never big fans of the Andorians, either.

00:27:26

This is a special bottle of whiskey.

00:27:29

Zefram Cochrane gave it to my father the day they broke ground at the warp 5 complex.

00:27:33

And here we are... toasting to warp 7.

00:27:38

Here's to the next generation.

00:27:46

Written your speech yet?

00:27:47

I always cram before exams. I've got three days left.

00:27:51

The biggest day of your life, and you're gonna wait until the night before.

00:27:53

It's the biggest day of our lives.

00:27:55

Oh, I hate to contradict you, Captain.

00:27:57

You're the man they're waiting to see.

00:27:59

[rumbling]

00:28:04

-[beeps] -Archer to the Bridge. What's going on?

00:28:07

[T'pol] We're under attack, sir. A small vessel.

00:28:09

[Archer] Who are they?

00:28:10

[T'pol] We don't know yet.

00:28:12

-[rumbling] -[alarm ringing]

00:28:14

[T'pol] Intruder alert.

00:28:19

We've come for Shran and the child.

00:28:21

I thought you said their ship couldn't catch up to us.

00:28:23

Remind me to mention that to Shran.

00:28:26

You're leaving me very little choice.

00:28:28

Shran left six hours ago. You're too late.

00:28:31

You're lying. His shuttle is still in your launch bay.

00:28:34

-Kill him. -[Tucker] Hold on! W-wait a minute!

00:28:36

-Trip, I'll take care of this. -The hell you will.

00:28:38

I'll bring you to Shran. I know where he is.

00:28:39

-I gave you an order, Commander. -You heard me.

00:28:41

-I said I'd bring you to Shran. -Trip!

00:28:42

Very well. Turn around, both of you!

00:28:44

-[Tucker] Hey, this guy's the Captain. -That's enough.

00:28:45

[Tucker] He's my boss.

00:28:46

If I'm gonna disobey his order, I don't want him coming along.

00:28:48

Trip, that's enough!

00:28:49

Listen, I won't do this if you kill him, but could you please shut him up!

00:28:57

Stop.

00:28:58

You can't expect me to just leave him here alive.

00:29:00

He's out cold. He's not gonna cause any trouble.

00:29:03

Stay here.

00:29:04

If we're not back in 10 minutes, kill him.

00:29:06

Didn't you hear what I just said?

00:29:08

I won't help you if you kill him. This might take longer than 10 minutes!

00:29:11

Take me to Shran, or I'll kill him right now!

00:29:14

OK, OK!

00:29:16

I've got a better idea.

00:29:18

I'll bring Shran to us. We don't have to go anywhere.

00:29:21

[grunts]

00:29:24

Be very careful.

00:29:27

You can all come see for yourselves.

00:29:30

This is just a comm station.

00:29:36

I'm gonna need to open this so I can bypass the security protocols.

00:29:39

Is that OK?

00:29:40

As long as you keep your hands where we can see them.

00:29:42

No problem.

00:29:44

[beeps]

00:29:57

All I need to do is connect this to the relay inside that panel.

00:30:01

Stop. Open it for him.

00:30:05

If there's a weapon in there, you're going to die before your Captain.

00:30:13

Satisfied?

00:30:16

Proceed.

00:30:23

Hurry up. You're running out of time.

00:30:26

There's just one other thing I need to tell you.

00:30:30

You can all go straight to hell.

00:30:32

[screaming]

00:30:37

[groaning]

00:30:57

Trip?

00:31:15

[medic] He's not responding.

00:31:16

[Phlox] Add two percent syntho-surfactant!

00:31:17

[Archer] Doctor.

00:31:18

[Phlox] The plasma was super-heated. It thermalized his lungs.

00:31:20

Initialize a hyperbaric chamber.

00:31:24

S-sorry about the r-rifle butt.

00:31:29

[breathing heavily]

00:31:31

-I was just trying to... -I know, Trip.

00:31:34

Just take it easy. Everything's all right.

00:31:36

We gonna be late?

00:31:37

[Archer] No. We're gonna be right on schedule.

00:31:40

I'll even have time to write my speech.

00:31:43

Great news.

00:31:46

Wait till they...

00:31:47

[gasps]

00:31:49

[beeping]

00:31:50

We need to get him into the chamber now!

00:31:59

Clear!

00:32:50

Need any help?

00:32:53

No, thank you.

00:32:56

For his parents?

00:33:00

Will they still be coming to the ceremony?

00:33:02

I told them I thought Trip wouldn't want it any other way.

00:33:14

Don't forget this.

00:33:19

-I'd like to meet them. -His parents?

00:33:23

Yes, I'd like to meet them.

00:33:25

They're a little eccentric.

00:33:29

I think you'll see where Trip got his sense of humor.

00:33:33

My mother was somewhat eccentric, as well.

00:33:36

[Archer] I remember.

00:33:42

Trip told me, as the years went by, that I would miss her less.

00:33:46

But he was wrong, because I find myself missing her more.

00:33:54

[sighs] Why would he tell me that?

00:33:57

[sighs]

00:33:59

Time heals all wounds.

00:34:01

But absence makes the heart grow fonder.

00:34:05

I guess it's a little tricky.

00:34:10

Emotions have a way of contradicting themselves.

00:34:15

And you wonder why we suppress them?

00:34:21

When I took command 10 years ago,

00:34:24

I saw myself as an explorer.

00:34:27

I thought all the risks would be worth it.

00:34:31

Because just beyond the next planet, just beyond the next star, there would be something magnificent, something noble.

00:34:45

And now Trip is dead, and I have to give a speech about how worthwhile it's all been.

00:34:55

Trip would be the first to say it was worthwhile.

00:35:12

Fried catfish with hush puppies.

00:35:15

Obviously, the captain mentioned why I wanted to see you.

00:35:17

[chuckles]

00:35:18

Keep in mind, within a week, I'll be eating the real thing.

00:35:21

Taking my folks down to mobile.

00:35:22

Nothing like a challenge.

00:35:24

Captain asked for meatloaf, didn't he?

00:35:25

I haven't spoken to him yet.

00:35:27

How about T'pol? She won't be very cooperative.

00:35:30

You wait and see.

00:35:32

I've already started her plomeek broth.

00:35:34

All she has to do is choose a few final ingredients.

00:35:37

She'll be down here in about an hour.

00:35:39

I hear we're on our way to pick up Shran.

00:35:41

Can you believe it?

00:35:43

We all thought he was dead and gone.

00:35:45

Well, don't you think the Captain's cutting it a little close?

00:35:47

You mean, getting back to San Francisco?

00:35:51

Nah, he won't let anything get in the way of that.

00:35:53

Trust me.

00:35:56

Can you spare one of those carrots?

00:35:57

-They're not peeled yet. -That's OK.

00:36:03

You know, he'd never admit it, but this thing means a hell of a lot to him.

00:36:10

He's real proud to be one of the people signing this charter.

00:36:13

And he ought to be.

00:36:15

You sound like a lifetime member of the Jonathan Archer fan club.

00:36:21

I can count on one hand the number of people I trust.

00:36:25

I don't mean trust like,

00:36:28

"I trust you aren't lying to me," or "i trust you won't steal my money."

00:36:32

I'm talking about the kind of trust where...

00:36:36

You know someone's not gonna hurt you, no matter what, where you know they'll always be there for you, no matter how bad things get.

00:36:45

You ever know anybody like that?

00:36:48

Yeah.

00:36:50

One or two.

00:36:54

Well, I've got some packing to do before I go back on duty.

00:37:00

You figured out what you're gonna do?

00:37:03

Do?

00:37:04

You gonna sign onto another ship, or are you gonna open up that little restaurant in the Berkshires you told me about?

00:37:08

You know, I haven't decided yet. You got any advice?

00:37:11

[chuckles] Nope.

00:37:13

[laughs]

00:37:17

But I'm sure you'll make the right choice.

00:37:30

Are you certain these are the right seats?

00:37:32

[Travis] Yep.

00:37:34

They don't seem very V.I.P. to me.

00:37:37

I'm sure the admiral wanted us to have a view that took in the scope of the occasion.

00:37:41

From this distance, you can't tell an Andorian from a Tellarite.

00:37:46

Oh, have you given an answer to Captain still well yet?

00:37:48

I've asked him for a little more time, until captain archer decides what he's going to be doing.

00:37:53

I'll bet you a month's pay he'll be on the bridge of a new ship.

00:37:56

He won't be able to resist one of those warp 7 beauties.

00:37:59

I've heard he's already been tapped for Admiral.

00:38:02

Malcolm's right. They'll never keep him behind a desk.

00:38:05

It's very wise of you to stick with him.

00:38:08

That's exactly what I plan to do.

00:38:12

[beeping]

00:38:19

Please, stand still.

00:38:21

If you hadn't waited until the last minute, you would have had time to memorize your speech.

00:38:26

You sound like my 9th-grade teacher.

00:38:28

There are dignitaries here from 18 different worlds.

00:38:32

[chuckles] It's a good sign.

00:38:34

I wouldn't be surprised if this alliance begins to expand before we know it.

00:38:39

You should be very proud of yourself, Captain.

00:38:41

I'll be proud of myself if I get this speech out in one piece.

00:38:45

That's not what I meant.

00:38:48

I know what you meant, Phlox, and I appreciate it.

00:38:52

But this is not about me.

00:38:54

Why do so many humans refuse to take credit where credit is due?

00:38:58

There are times when modesty and humility are quite illogical.

00:39:03

Whenever you're ready, sir.

00:39:06

Well, I've got three wives waiting. I'd better go and join them.

00:39:11

I'd wish you good luck, Captain, but you've always had an ample supply.

00:39:18

Thank you, doctor.

00:39:26

[Archer] You'd better get out there.

00:39:29

You don't want to miss me screwing this thing up.

00:39:31

I'm going to remain down here, if you don't mind.

00:39:35

You never did like crowds, did you?

00:39:42

You look... very heroic.

00:40:14

[applause]

00:40:31

Is he nervous?

00:40:32

Wouldn't you be?

00:40:34

Oh, he'll be fine.

00:40:35

I had to memorize this speech in grammar school.

00:40:40

You wish you could tell them all that this alliance will give birth to the Federation.

00:40:46

I think I'm ready to talk to Captain Picard.

00:40:48

I should have done it a long time ago.

00:40:51

So, I guess we're through here.

00:40:53

-[applause] -I guess we are.

00:40:55

Computer...

00:40:56

[beeps]

00:40:59

...End program.

00:41:00

[beeps]

00:41:14

[Picard] Space, the final frontier.

00:41:18

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

00:41:21

Its continuing mission...

00:41:24

[Kirk] To explore strange new worlds,

00:41:27

to seek out new life and new civilizations...

00:41:32

[Archer] To boldly go where no man has gone before.
