00:00:00( rock theme playing )
00:00:04( tools clanking )
00:00:08( clanking )
00:00:16( blows horn )
00:00:23What do you think you're doing, Doc?
00:00:25An impromptu auditory exam.
00:00:27Did I pass?
00:00:28With flying colors, which leads me to believe you did hear me when I requested you meet me this morning.
00:00:33( embarrassed chuckle )
00:00:34You're right.
00:00:36I forgot.
00:00:37I see.
00:00:39I realize your sick bay training is purely voluntary, but you haven't spent any time there in several weeks and when I... try to find you, you're always in the holodeck.
00:00:48Correct me if I'm wrong, Doc, but we haven't been treating anything more serious than an ingrown toenail.
00:00:53That's beside the point.
00:00:54If an emergency were to happen, you must be prepared.
00:00:57You're too far behind in your medical texts to be wasting your time in the holodeck!
00:01:02If it's any consolation,
00:01:04I have spent most of the morning immersed in a complicated surgical procedure.
00:01:08Really?
00:01:09A classic case of atrophied shocks.
00:01:12They needed to be extracted to prevent chrome abrasion.
00:01:15It was touch and go for a while, but the prognosis is excellent.
00:01:19You'll be ready for neurosurgery in no time.
00:01:22Take a look at this, Doc.
00:01:24This is a fully stock 1969 Chevy Camaro, one of the earliest muscle cars ever made.
00:01:31Imagine, Northern California, late 20th century.
00:01:36You're cruising up Highway 1.
00:01:38The woofers are pounding.
00:01:40The wind is whipping through your hair.
00:01:45Medieval safety constraints, internal combustion system, producing lethal levels of carbon monoxide.
00:01:54Hmm. I stand corrected.
00:01:56This may be just what you need to get you back to Sick Bay.
00:02:00I should have known this wouldn't interest you.
00:02:02It's too much fun.
00:02:03This isn't about fun, Mr. Paris.
00:02:05Serving in Sick Bay is a privilege.
00:02:07I'd expect you to realize that.
00:02:08Oh, I do.
00:02:11I'll be there. Soon.
00:02:18JANEWAY: Lieutenant Paris, report to the Bridge immediately.
00:02:22( sighs )
00:02:24I'm on my way.
00:02:32Somebody call for a driver?
00:02:35Take your station, Tom.
00:02:37Anything on scans, Harry?
00:02:38KIM: I'm picking up another spatial distortion 2,000 kilometers away.
00:02:43CHAKOTAY: Source?
00:02:44KIM: I have no idea.
00:02:45It looks like space is folding in on itself.
00:02:47Shields to full.
00:02:54It's an alien vessel.
00:02:56One occupant aboard.
00:02:57Captain, it looks like that ship is being powered by a coaxial warp drive.
00:03:02Coaxial what?
00:03:04It's a hypothetical propulsion system.
00:03:06Starfleet engineers have been dreaming about it for years.
00:03:09In theory, it can literally fold the fabric of space allowing a ship to travel instantaneously across huge distances.
00:03:20The alien warp drive is overloading.
00:03:22In theory, a coaxial drive explosion... could collapse space within a radius of a billion kilometers.
00:03:30In theory.
00:03:33Well, let's keep theory from becoming reality.
00:03:35Red alert.
00:03:41( title theme playing )
00:05:28PARIS: Scan the vessel.
00:05:30Can we beam the pilot out?
00:05:32Too much interference.
00:05:34The ship's about had it, Captain.
00:05:36The coaxial core is breaching.
00:05:38We should vacate this area of space at once.
00:05:41PARIS: We can't just leave him like this.
00:05:42Try one more hail.
00:05:45Nothing.
00:05:46Maybe he's ignoring us.
00:05:47Or maybe he's unconscious. We've got to do something.
00:05:50JANEWAY: Suggestions?
00:05:56A symmetric warp field.
00:05:57That should contain any instabilities in his space folding core.
00:06:01How can you be sure?
00:06:03Advanced subspace geometry.
00:06:05It's the one course at the academy where I actually paid attention.
00:06:09We'll tractor him in to kill his momentum, and generate a warp field around his ship.
00:06:13His flight path is erratic.
00:06:16We'd be risking collision.
00:06:18Captain, I can make this work.
00:06:20Do it.
00:06:29Passing through the residual folds in space.
00:06:32Steady.
00:06:37Got him!
00:06:39TUVOK: I've extended our warp field around his vessel.
00:06:42His core is powering down.
00:06:44Nice flying, Tom.
00:06:46My pleasure.
00:06:49We're finally receiving a hail.
00:06:51Open a channel.
00:06:53Captain Janeway of the Federation
00:06:55Starship Voyager.
00:06:56Do you need medical attention?
00:06:58I'm fine, Captain.
00:06:59Unfortunately, my ship is not.
00:07:02If you need to make repairs, we might be able to help.
00:07:05That's very generous.
00:07:07We'll beam you aboard in a few minutes. Stand by.
00:07:09STETH: Thank you.
00:07:11CAPTAIN: Tuvok.
00:07:18Energize.
00:07:25Welcome. STETH: Captain.
00:07:27I know you put yourselves in danger to rescue me.
00:07:29I want to thank you.
00:07:31I'm glad we could help.
00:07:33I was so eager to test my new engine,
00:07:35I pushed it beyond its limits.
00:07:37Coaxial warp doesn't seem to be the smoothest way to travel.
00:07:41It's a violent procedure, but it allows a ship to travel through space at incredible speeds.
00:07:47Considering the dangers this method of travel hardly seems logical.
00:07:51That's probably true, but if I were worrying about danger,
00:07:54I wouldn't have become a test pilot.
00:07:56Where are you from?
00:07:58The fourth planet in the Benthan system.
00:08:00That's about 20 light years from here.
00:08:03I'll speak to my engineers about helping you with repairs.
00:08:06Without your coaxial drive, it's a long way home.
00:08:15( door beeping )
00:08:16Come in.
00:08:19( short exhale )
00:08:20I'd like to ask you a favor.
00:08:23I need a change of pace.
00:08:25I'd like to help Steth repair his ship.
00:08:27This isn't a good time to ask.
00:08:29What do you mean?
00:08:32I've been reading a report from the doctor.
00:08:34You didn't show up today.
00:08:36Well, I was a little busy this morning... saving someone's life, as I recall.
00:08:42Is there something wrong, Tom?
00:08:43Anything bothering you?
00:08:45Nothing is wrong.
00:08:46Since when is not wanting to spend time with the doctor a capital offense?
00:08:51You'd have to throw the whole crew in the brig for that one.
00:08:54Maybe. I was wondering if there's something on your mind.
00:08:57You're showing up for your duty shifts, you do what's required, but your heart doesn't seem to be in it.
00:09:02You seem preoccupied.
00:09:06Like I said, I think I need a change of pace.
00:09:09You're a different man from the one that came on board four years ago.
00:09:13You've taken charge of your life, turned yourself around.
00:09:16I'd hate to see you ruin it.
00:09:22I won't.
00:09:24With your permission, I'll report to Sick Bay.
00:09:29Permission denied.
00:09:33Report to Steth's ship instead.
00:09:35Assist in the repairs.
00:09:37We need our best man on the job.
00:09:47And on my way back,
00:09:48I made the mistake of flying the prototype through restricted Entaban territory.
00:09:52And?
00:09:53And, uh... the Entabans weren't too pleased to see me.
00:09:58I limped back to the engineers on Benthos with phaser holes through their brand-new exatanium fuselage.
00:10:04I think they would have been happier to see phaser holes through me.
00:10:08( chuckles )
00:10:09When I was 16, I followed an ancient human custom.
00:10:13I took my father's shuttle out for a joyride, and proceeded to fry all the relays.
00:10:18STETH: I'm guessing he wasn't happy about getting it back.
00:10:23Actually, he didn't.
00:10:24As far as I know, it's still at the bottom of Lake Tahoe.
00:10:27Here it is.
00:10:29The coaxial induction drive.
00:10:30It draws in subatomic particles and reconfigures their internal geometries.
00:10:35And this is what makes folding space possible?
00:10:37At least in spurts.
00:10:39Unfortunately, particle instabilities keep overloading my engines, but I'm gonna to make it work. I have to keep in motion.
00:10:47I don't like the thought of settling down.
00:10:50Too many new ships to drive, too many intriguing women.
00:10:53Yeah. I guess so.
00:10:55When I get this ship back,
00:10:57I'm going to be doing the first test on a new mithran-class fighter.
00:11:01I'm told it's more advanced than any warship in the quadrant.
00:11:05Why don't you come with me?
00:11:08We'd have a great time, you can meet up with Voyager afterwards.
00:11:15I-I'd love to do that.
00:11:16It sounds very exciting... but I have responsibilities here, people who count on me, and B'Elanna would be furious.
00:11:30B'Elanna.
00:11:34I have to go.
00:11:52So, you started without me.
00:11:54I finished without you.
00:11:56You're a little late.
00:11:58Uh, sorry.
00:12:00I was helping Steth repair his ship.
00:12:04How's it going?
00:12:06Um...pretty slow.
00:12:08We're both stuck on how to prevent the particle overloads in his propulsion system.
00:12:13Have you tried an isokinetic containment field?
00:12:16Yeah. That's the first thing we tried.
00:12:19How long do you think these repairs are going to take?
00:12:22I don't know.
00:12:24I was just hoping that maybe you could help me recalibrate the plasma manifolds tonight.
00:12:30Uh...I, uh...
00:12:34I probably should go help Steth.
00:12:41Tom, is there something wrong?
00:12:43Why are you interrogating me?
00:12:46I didn't think I was.
00:12:47It sounds more like you want me to account for every minute that I'm not with you.
00:12:51That's ridiculous.
00:12:52Can't I have some time to myself?
00:12:54Can't I do what I want without having to report every detail of it to you?
00:12:57Tom, you can do whatever you want.
00:12:59I just wanted to know if there was something wrong.
00:13:02I mean lately you've been canceling dates, you hide out for hours in the holodeck...
00:13:06I am not hiding anything.
00:13:07That is ridiculous. Is it?
00:13:09You haven't even told me what holodeck program this is that has you so fascinated.
00:13:13( scoffs )
00:13:15"The Dancing Girls of Ninipia Prime."
00:13:17It's very entertaining.
00:13:19Very funny.
00:13:20You're overreacting.
00:13:21I am not overreacting.
00:13:24There is obviously something going on, and you're refusing to admit it.
00:13:28Good evening, Lieutenants.
00:13:29I see you don't have dinner yet, Tom.
00:13:31Can I get you something? I'm really not hungry.
00:13:33Excuse me. Are you going to talk to me about this?
00:13:36Because if not, I don't want to sit here anymore.
00:13:38If you can carry on an adult conversation without all the histrionics...
00:13:41Good night, Tom.
00:13:42( sighs )
00:14:12Computer, run a DNA stability analysis.
00:14:16How long before my genome reverts to its previous form?
00:14:19COMPUTER: Time to reversion, three hours, 13 minutes.
00:14:23Complete genome recovery is imminent.
00:14:34So I was lying in bed last night when it hit me.
00:14:37What you need is a carburetor.
00:14:40A carburetor?
00:14:41Yes. It's a device that's hundreds of years old.
00:14:44I can't believe I didn't think of it yesterday.
00:14:47Wait. Hundreds of years old?
00:14:48Surely that couldn't be of any use to us now.
00:14:51It all goes back to basics.
00:14:53You would be surprised at how often I find solutions to 24th century problems in 20th century technology.
00:15:00Computer, access Paris program alpha one, "Grease monkey."
00:15:04( computer beeps ) Grease monkey?
00:15:06Mechanic lingo.
00:15:12A car's engine can't run on pure fuel so the carburetor supplies it with a mixture of vaporized fuel and air.
00:15:18And you think we need a device like that to dilute the particle stream as it enters the coaxial drive.
00:15:24Exactly, and a spare polaric modulator from Voyager's impulse drive should do the trick.
00:15:29Subatomic dilution!
00:15:31It never would have occurred to me.
00:15:34I think you've solved it.
00:15:35Well, we can run a few simulations on the holodeck before we actually try it.
00:15:39Oh...I owe you a lot.
00:15:41You can thank my lucky toolbox.
00:15:43It's gotten me out of hot water more than once.
00:15:46Mmm.
00:15:50You're lucky to be stationed on a ship like this.
00:15:53Replicators to feed and clothe you, holo-technology to cater to every whim, hallways filled with women.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:04It's great.
00:16:05You don't sound convinced.
00:16:07Aren't you happy here?
00:16:09Of course I'm happy.
00:16:10I'm very happy.
00:16:12I mean...I pilot one of the most advanced ships in Starfleet.
00:16:17I have a beautiful girlfriend.
00:16:18I'm respected.
00:16:20I have everything that I've ever wanted.
00:16:24You're lucky.
00:16:26You're part of a family, part of a structure.
00:16:30You have rules to guide you.
00:16:32You don't have to worry about making a lot of choices.
00:16:34I usually go to bed at night not knowing what the next day has in store... what trouble I might get into.
00:16:40( laughs )
00:16:42You don't have to worry about those things.
00:16:44You're very settled.
00:16:47I remember those days.
00:16:50I used to be a lot like you, going anywhere...
00:16:56Doing whatever I wanted.
00:16:58Making my own rules, living life my own way.
00:17:02Well, then there's hope for me yet.
00:17:04Maybe someday I'll settle down too.
00:17:07But...for now... I prefer to stay on the move.
00:17:12( sighs )
00:17:13Sometimes...I wish that's what I was doing.
00:17:17Things'll turn around for you.
00:17:19I've always found that change is inevitable.
00:17:22It comes when you least expect it.
00:17:25( laughs )
00:17:26Yeah, I suppose.
00:17:27Now, are we ready to try this carburetor idea on my ship?
00:17:30Just give me five more minutes to finish up here, and I'll be right with you.
00:17:34Five minutes.
00:17:36And, Tom... don't dismiss the suggestion
00:17:40I made... about coming with me to fly the new ship.
00:17:45It might be fun to escape the shackles for a while.
00:18:24Computer, access all files pertaining to Lieutenant Tom Paris.
00:18:28Download into memory core alpha.
00:18:30COMPUTER: Please enter authorization code.
00:18:35Access granted.
00:18:37Commencing download.
00:18:55Hello.
00:18:57I'm Steth... a guest of your captain.
00:19:00I have been apprised of your presence on Voyager.
00:19:03You are not authorized to access the ship's computers.
00:19:06You must be Seven of Nine.
00:19:08That is correct.
00:19:09Tom mentioned you.
00:19:11He thinks you're extremely intelligent.
00:19:13Lieutenant Paris' opinion of me is irrelevant to your being in this room.
00:19:17Oh, well...Tom felt we needed some files for polaric modulators but he was called away before we could access them.
00:19:23I thought I'd find them myself and help out.
00:19:25You were mistaken.
00:19:27He must be present to download these files.
00:19:29Oh, I'm about to meet him at the holodeck.
00:19:31We can find the files there.
00:19:33Voyager's hierarchy is complex.
00:19:36See that you familiarize yourself with it.
00:19:39Good advice.
00:19:40I'll do that.
00:19:48JANEWAY: Captain's log, Stardate 51762.4.
00:19:53The repairs to Steth's coaxial drive
00:19:55have been completed well ahead of schedule.
00:19:58Everything here looks good.
00:20:00Just give me one more second to check the flow field parameters.
00:20:04Go ahead.
00:20:25It's my box wrench.
00:20:27I've been looking all over for this.
00:20:29I know. I should've asked you, Tom, but I needed it for an experiment.
00:20:34( chuckles )
00:20:35To, uh...check your new carburetor?
00:20:38Not quite.
00:20:41You're the first humans I've met and that wrench had enough cellular residue on it for me to check your DNA.
00:20:48I have good news.
00:20:51( groaning )
00:20:52We're compatible.
00:21:06Consider this a favor.
00:21:09I know how unhappy you've been with this dreary, settled life, so I'm taking it off your hands.
00:21:15I'm betting there's still some fun to be had here.
00:21:17Voyager is a great ship, Tom.
00:21:21I'll take good care of it.
00:21:33Sorry I'm late.
00:21:35We were beginning to wonder if you were ever coming back.
00:21:41KIM: His ship is powering engines.
00:21:52Something wrong, Tom?
00:21:56It's nothing.
00:22:03( sighs )
00:22:05I'm just really going to miss that guy.
00:22:21Mind if I join you?
00:22:23Not at all...
00:22:24Commander.
00:22:25Chakotay will do, Tom.
00:22:27You don't have to carry this rules thing too far.
00:22:29I've been discussing your engineering report with the captain.
00:22:33She was wondering if we could implement some of Steth's technology here on Voyager.
00:22:37Really?
00:22:39We thought maybe you could start on a shuttle.
00:22:41Do you think you can do it?
00:22:43I'm sure I can.
00:22:46Great. You can start right after you finish with the doctor.
00:22:49The doctor?
00:22:51He needs your help in Sick Bay.
00:22:53I told him you'd be there.
00:22:54Of course.
00:22:56( clearing throat )
00:23:02Lieutenant. Hi.
00:23:09( sighing )
00:23:42KIM: I know you've been avoiding the doctor, but don't tell me you've forgotten where Sick Bay is.
00:23:48( Laughing ): Oh...not yet.
00:23:50I was just trying to figure out if there's a more efficient route between Sick Bay and my quarters.
00:23:56I didn't realize you were that eager to get there.
00:23:59( chuckling )
00:24:01So tell me, are they ready yet?
00:24:03Uh...not yet. But they will be soon.
00:24:08Great. Hey, let me know if you have any problems.
00:24:10Polyduranide can be tough to replicate.
00:24:13Oh, it sure can be.
00:24:14I can't wait to get my hands around one of those clubs.
00:24:17Ensign Kaplan won't know what hit her.
00:24:20What?
00:24:22We're going to play golf with her.
00:24:24We scheduled a rematch, remember?
00:24:26Oh, of course.
00:24:27I can't wait.
00:24:29Have you been working on your putting?
00:24:31You missed both those two-footers last time.
00:24:33I won't let it happen again.
00:24:35( sighing ): All right.
00:24:37Give the doc my best. I will... if I ever find him.
00:24:45You're early, Mr. Paris.
00:24:48I see some good came from my report to Commander Chakotay.
00:24:52Let's put these extra few minutes to good use.
00:24:54Begin with a thorough bio-bed diagnostic.
00:24:57I want you to recalibrate each physiosensor making sure to enter every metabolic referent precisely.
00:25:02Okay.
00:25:04When you're through there, run a protein structure analysis, and then continue your review of the 37 steps of a cardiopulmonary reconstruction procedure.
00:25:11I'll leave you to your bio-beds.
00:25:15( electronic screech )
00:25:17Did you forget to disengage the scan emitters?
00:25:20Sorry.
00:25:21( electronic screech )
00:25:23Mr. Paris!
00:25:27I don't know what's wrong.
00:25:29I realize it's complicated, but you must try again.
00:25:33Actually, I'm not feeling so well.
00:25:35How fortunate you're already in Sick Bay.
00:25:36I'll run a few scans.
00:25:39Uh, no, no, Doc. That's all right.
00:25:41To be perfectly honest with you, uh...this is so frustrating for me.
00:25:47I usually pick things up a lot faster than this.
00:25:49You're here to learn, Mr. Paris.
00:25:51It will get easier with time.
00:25:53Well, that's easy for you to say.
00:25:55Excuse me?
00:25:57No offense, Doctor, but you were programmed to be a medical genius.
00:26:00Things always come easy to you.
00:26:02Me, I'm just a pilot, a...grease monkey, and as hard as I might try to become a better assistant to you, it's clear to me now that I'll never be half the healer that you are.
00:26:15Do you mean to tell me, you've been trying to live up to my standards?
00:26:21( sighing )
00:26:23I'm afraid I have.
00:26:24It all makes sense now.
00:26:27The misplaced aggression, the shirking of responsibilities... all classic signs of an inferiority complex.
00:26:37I had no idea my superior abilities were affecting your psyche so strongly.
00:26:44Take the rest of the day off.
00:26:47Reflect on your strengths. Realize your worth.
00:26:52I'll do that, Doctor.
00:26:56Thank you.
00:27:01( sighing )
00:27:14( sighing )
00:27:17B'Elanna.
00:27:19What do you think you're doing?
00:27:22Putting. In my quarters?
00:27:25I can't putt in your quarters?
00:27:27No.
00:27:29Since when?
00:27:30( exasperated sigh )
00:27:32Tom... what is this?
00:27:38That is... a sand wedge.
00:27:41It's used for getting out of traps.
00:27:44Why is it here?
00:27:46I replicated it for you.
00:27:48I thought we could play a little game of golf on the holodeck before dinner. So this is your idea... of an adult conversation?
00:27:57( exasperated sigh )
00:27:58I don't know what you are trying to accomplish with this little stunt, but let me assure you, it is not working.
00:28:06I am sorry if you are bored because Steth is gone, but that doesn't mean that you can just walk in here, and pretend like you haven't been shutting me out.
00:28:14You're being a little hard on Steth.
00:28:17If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here right now.
00:28:21Really?
00:28:23I mentioned to him that we were having some problems, and he urged me to... come and talk to you, to try to work things out, to admit I was wrong.
00:28:41I made a mistake, B'Elanna, and I'm sorry.
00:28:51I won't shut you out anymore.
00:28:55In fact, I went to the doctor and begged to be excused from my duties.
00:29:02I realize it's only a few extra hours, but they're hours I wanna spend with you.
00:29:19Steth...turned out to be a positive influence on you.
00:29:41( groaning )
00:29:56Computer, where... com-computer, where are we?
00:30:02COMPUTER: Navigation Mmatrix 171, the Kotaba expanse.
00:30:08Coaxial leap complete.
00:30:10How far are we from Voyager?
00:30:13( sighing )
00:30:15Computer, lock in Voyager's last known coordinates, and activate differential induction drive.
00:30:21COMPUTER: Unable to execute command.
00:30:23Why not?
00:30:25COMPUTER: The differential induction drive has been secured.
00:30:28A security access code is required for coaxial leap.
00:30:36AVIK: This is Commander Avik of the Benthan Guard.
00:30:39We're taking you into custody.
00:30:41Prepare to surrender the vessel to us at once.
00:30:43Benthan? I need a second to explain, Commander.
00:30:49I'm not who you think--
00:30:50AVIK: We do not negotiate with thieves.
00:30:54No...you don't understand!
00:30:56I-I need this ship to get back to Voyager.
00:30:59AVIK: Surrender the vessel peacefully or we will use force.
00:31:21Why is everybody trying to shoot me today?
00:31:23You know what I'm here for.
00:31:24I don't know what you're talking about.
00:31:26Who are you?
00:31:28I'm Steth.
00:31:29What?
00:31:31Look at me.
00:31:32You did wear this body for nearly a year, before you switched it with mine.
00:31:37That's my body you're in now.
00:31:39I want it back.
00:31:40Bear with me for...for a second.
00:31:43We have more in common than you might think.
00:31:55This better be good, Tom.
00:31:56I left Vorik right in the middle of an E.P.S. Recalibration.
00:32:01( sighs ): You can thank me later.
00:32:04So what's my big surprise?
00:32:07What would you say... to 24 glorious hours on the famed fourth planet of the Kendren System?
00:32:15You mean the planet where Neelix is gathering food samples?
00:32:18Mm-hmm. I ran a few scans and found the most incredible beach on one of the smaller continents.
00:32:23I replicated a picnic lunch for us.
00:32:27Voyager isn't leaving orbit until tomorrow.
00:32:30We'd have an entire day.
00:32:32( laughs )
00:32:34Only a day?
00:32:37Oh, I think that we would need at least a week.
00:32:40Oh, I wish we could, but we've only got a day.
00:32:45You're serious, aren't you?
00:32:47Completely.
00:32:48Do you know how much trouble we would be in?
00:32:51What could Janeway do, execute us?
00:32:54Tom, I am swamped.
00:32:55I can't get away for an hour, let alone 24.
00:32:58B'Elanna...
00:32:59I have responsibilities here. We both do.
00:33:01Responsibilities? I don't care!
00:33:04Tom, you're hurting me.
00:33:05You're a real disappointment to me.
00:33:07Do you know that?
00:33:09I don't know what I ever saw in you.
00:33:20( sighs )
00:33:29Seven.
00:33:30What brings you here at this hour?
00:33:36We were supposed to meet in the shuttle bay at 2100 hours.
00:33:39Did you forget?
00:33:41I did.
00:33:42I got so caught up with my reading,
00:33:44I guess it slipped my mind.
00:33:46Sorry.
00:33:48The capillaries in your eyes are swollen, Lieutenant, and I see signs of vascular congestion in your cheeks.
00:33:54Are you intoxicated?
00:33:56No, not at all.
00:33:58I was just exploring the replicator, trying some alien beverages.
00:34:03Only a few were alcoholic.
00:34:06You are not officially off duty for another 78 minutes.
00:34:08I'm on break.
00:34:10Would you like to join me?
00:34:12I could replicate another trakian ale for you.
00:34:15That will not be necessary.
00:34:17Oh, relax, Seven.
00:34:19You're not on the borg cube anymore.
00:34:21We could finish our work on the shuttle tomorrow.
00:34:24That would be an inefficient use of our time.
00:34:27I will complete the work myself.
00:34:29( sighs )
00:34:30Fine.
00:34:33Before I leave, I would like to know why you were reading the captain's personal logs.
00:34:39I wasn't. I saw the pad.
00:34:42It was unmistakably the captain's logs.
00:34:45You're wrong.
00:34:48You're...confused.
00:34:49You couldn't possibly have seen anything.
00:34:52You know I possess an eidetic memory.
00:34:54I require only seconds to commit what I see to memory.
00:34:56Would you like me to quote the passage you were reading?
00:34:59I'm warning you, stay out of my way.
00:35:00Don't interfere in things that don't concern you.
00:35:03If you bother me again,
00:35:05I will make things very unpleasant for you.
00:35:07Remove your hand from my arm.
00:35:11Don't be foolish.
00:35:13You'll regret it.
00:35:32( door beeping )
00:35:34Enter.
00:35:39You wanted to see me, Captain.
00:35:43Yes.
00:35:46I received a rather disturbing report from Seven of Nine regarding your conduct last night.
00:35:52She claims you were drinking on duty.
00:35:56( scoffs )
00:35:57She's mistaken, Captain.
00:35:58Don't lie to me, Tom.
00:36:00I checked the computers.
00:36:02You replicated five alcoholic beverages in the mess hall.
00:36:08She also said you threatened her.
00:36:10( sighs )
00:36:11I'm sorry, Captain.
00:36:12B'Elanna and I had an argument.
00:36:14I was upset.
00:36:16And is that why you were reading my personal logs?
00:36:18I wasn't.
00:36:20Seven recited a passage I'd written word for word.
00:36:24She probably accessed those files herself.
00:36:26Captain, you can't take the word of a borg over mine.
00:36:30This has to stop, Tom.
00:36:32Your conduct lately has been bizarre, and I've heard far too many complaints from far too many people to dismiss it.
00:36:39Chakotay, the doctor, Seven of Nine.
00:36:41They're all worried about you, and so am I.
00:36:43You're right, Captain. I need some rest.
00:36:47I'll go right to my quarters.
00:36:48Tom... as your captain and as your friend...
00:36:52I want you to report to Sick Bay for some tests.
00:36:55We have to find out if there's something physical that's causing this behavior.
00:37:00This is crazy.
00:37:02I don't need any help.
00:37:04It's an order.
00:37:08JANEWAY: Security, I need you in the ready room now!
00:37:20( coughing )
00:37:22Are you hurt, Captain?
00:37:24No. Take him to Sick Bay.
00:37:27Keep security with him.
00:37:29( coughing )
00:37:39The coaxial drive will be online in a few minutes.
00:37:42Good. I've just about overridden all the lockout commands.
00:37:45No offense, but I'd like to get out of your body as soon as possible.
00:37:49The alien seems capable of some sort of selective DNA exchange.
00:37:52He absorbs new DNA while depositing his current genetic material into his victims.
00:37:58Let's hope he can reverse that process.
00:38:02That's the last lockout command.
00:38:03We're set for coaxial warp.
00:38:06Let's find Voyager.
00:38:14JANEWAY: Captain's log, supplemental.
00:38:16The doctor has treated Mr. Paris' phaser wounds
00:38:19but has been unable to wake him.
00:38:22The motive for his attack remains a mystery.
00:38:25Neurological scans yielded very little, but I did find something very interesting in his blood analysis.
00:38:32There are traces of a second DNA pattern in his nucleotide structure.
00:38:36Possibly the result of a genetic virus.
00:38:38Could this be the cause of his recent behavior?
00:38:41I don't know, but I'm running more scans to see how this might have affected his neurological functions.
00:38:47CHAKOTAY: Captain, a vessel just emerged
00:38:49from coaxial space off our starboard bow.
00:38:51Keep me informed, Doctor.
00:39:03Hail them.
00:39:06STETH: Captain Janeway.
00:39:08Oh, welcome back,
00:39:10Mr. Steth.
00:39:11I know this sounds crazy, Captain, but I'm not Steth.
00:39:14I'm Tom Paris.
00:39:17I beg your pardon?
00:39:18We're dealing with an alien who's an identity thief.
00:39:22He traded places with me.
00:39:25Please beam us aboard.
00:39:29Maintain your position while we consider your request.
00:39:32End transmission.
00:39:34Hold him in a tractor beam until you hear from me.
00:39:37I have a feeling Steth and his new friend are behind whatever's happened to Tom.
00:39:41Captain?
00:39:42No time to explain. I'll be in Sick Bay.
00:39:56( clattering )
00:39:58Captain?
00:40:05Commander, I'm reading an unauthorized shuttle launch.
00:40:11It's the captain.
00:40:12She's in the shuttle Tom's been working on.
00:40:14Try hailing her.
00:40:16She's not responding.
00:40:18Hail Steth's ship.
00:40:21Look, I don't know who you are, but I want to know what's happening here.
00:40:25Who's on that shuttle?
00:40:26Captain Janeway.
00:40:28No. I'm betting the alien
00:40:29switched my body... Tom's body for hers.
00:40:32You've got to let us out of this tractor beam.
00:40:34We can catch her with this ship.
00:40:39Chakotay...it's me. How do I know that?
00:40:43The other day in your office,
00:40:45you told me I'd turned my life around.
00:40:47Well, give me the chance to prove it.
00:40:49Let me go after the shuttle.
00:40:51It is the only way
00:40:52we can get everybody back into the right body.
00:40:55Harry... disengage the tractor beam.
00:41:06Twenty thousand kilometers and closing.
00:41:09Has he detected us yet?
00:41:12I'd say he has.
00:41:17Gentlemen, I'd advise you to reconsider this pursuit.
00:41:21Killing me will only keep you trapped in those bodies.
00:41:24He's right.
00:41:26We can't risk killing him.
00:41:27Yeah, but nothing's keeping him from killing us.
00:41:30Damn! The ship's not nearly as maneuverable as a shuttle.
00:41:33Shields are down.
00:41:35I'm surprised you're so eager to reclaim your life on Voyager, Tom.
00:41:39I was just as disappointed with it as you were.
00:41:41Then I guess we were both wrong.
00:41:44It's time to move on again.
00:41:46Oh, Tom...be sure to send my best regards to B'Elanna.
00:41:50Hmm?
00:41:52( chuckling )
00:41:53He's charging the coaxial drive.
00:41:56Set the sensors to track him.
00:41:58I can't. He's blocking us.
00:42:00We won't be able to follow him once he goes into coaxial warp.
00:42:09We're losing him!
00:42:10The carburetor!
00:42:12We added a polaric modulator to the coaxial drive.
00:42:15If I can target the modulator, hit it with a chromo electric pulse, that'll disrupt his engines.
00:42:22Here goes.
00:42:30( alarm blaring )
00:42:32( engines revving )
00:42:33PARIS: I hope you still have my box wrench.
00:42:36Faulty carburetors can be a pain to fix.
00:42:41JANEWAY: Captain's log, Stardate 51775.2.
00:42:45While the alien intruder
00:42:47remains trapped in the body of his last victim,
00:42:50the doctor has found a way to return Tom, Steth and me
00:42:52to our own bodies.
00:42:54Doctor, I can't thank you enough.
00:42:57You've given me my life back.
00:42:59DOCTOR: All in a day's work.
00:43:01There were times when I thought
00:43:03I would be stuck in that body forever.
00:43:05And believe me
00:43:06I'm just as happy to be back to the old Tom Paris.
00:43:09What do you plan to do now?
00:43:11I'm going to take her back to Bentha.
00:43:13I hope to find the person who belongs to that body.
00:43:16But who knows if that's the end of it?
00:43:18We have no idea how long she or he has been switching identities.
00:43:23It may take a while... but I will do whatever I can to find everyone you've violated.
00:43:31A security team will escort her to your ship, and erect a force field to contain her.
00:43:45( rock theme playing )
00:43:52So this is where you've been hiding?
00:43:55A garage?
00:43:57It's more than just a garage.
00:43:59This is a monument to hundreds and hundreds of hours... that I probably should have spent with you.
00:44:08Probably?
00:44:10Definitely.
00:44:14It's a lovely garage, Tom, but I still don't understand why you brought me here.
00:44:20Well, consider it a symbolic gesture.
00:44:24It's my less than subtle attempt to...let you in.
00:44:30I see.
00:44:31To make it clear, that I mean almost as much to you as a... a Cam-a-ro.
00:44:38It's a mint condition,
00:44:411969...
00:44:44Ca-mare-oh.
00:44:46And yes...you mean a lot more to me.
00:45:08( title theme playing )
