NARRATOR:
Previously on Enterprise:

We're 400 years in the future.

You know about the alien we found?
The test subject?

DANIELS: He belongs to the same race
that built the Spheres.

They're altering this space
to make it habitable for their species.

You have to make the Xindi understand
that humanity isn't the enemy.

DEGRA: The weapon won't be launched
for several days.

Show us your proof.

You're saying the Expanse will no longer
be compatible for us.

For any of us.

We're destined to form an alliance
to stop them.

You need to speak to the Council.
With the evidence you've shown me,

they'll have no choice
but to take us seriously.

If it weren't for my assistance,
your species would be facing destruction.

Is it true your species built the Spheres?

- Where is Degra?
- What kind of weapons do you have?

You expect me
to attack a Reptilian warship?

T'POL:
The Reptilian vessel's been destroyed.

They would've contacted the Council
and exposed our alliance.

He'll be killed the moment he steps
into the Council chamber.

If Archer is telling the truth,

then all the Council's efforts
will be for nothing.

We've been successful. The Xindi weapon
is days away from completion.

The timelines don't support
that assessment.

What have you seen?

The number of lines with favorable
outcomes has diminished.

There is now an increased chance
that the Earth ship

will prevent the weapon
from being launched.

Not necessarily.
Timelines are sensitive.

They're prone to temporary fluctuations.

This is no fluctuation. This is a trajectory
away from our desired outcome.

See that you take definitive actions
to correct this.

The weapon must be launched.
Earth must be destroyed.

I'm not detecting any trellium
in your system.

[CHUCKLES]

How are you feeling?

The emotions are still difficult to control.

Hmm. Meditation isn't helping?

Somewhat,
but I'm still experiencing frequent--

You okay?

Just a mild headache.

I thought Vulcans didn't get headaches.

I'm needed in the Command Center.

Notice anything strange
about the way she's been acting?

There isn't anyone on the ship
who hasn't been affected by recent events.

What can I do for you?

I think I pulled a muscle.

- Yeah. Pain's pretty bad.
- Have a seat.

We've been running double shifts
in Engineering.

Captain's in a hell of a rush
to get to this damn Council.

He believes he can get the Xindi
to reconsider their attack on Earth.

We owe him a little faith.

Oh, I have faith in the captain

but not in the people
he's trying to convince.

Degra seems to be a reasonable man.

Reasonable?

I don't think many people back
in my hometown would go along with that.

Thanks, doc.

The Spheres are controlled
by a network of artificial intelligence.

This section houses
the redundant memory core.

It should contain
a significant amount of information.

We're hoping that'll include data
on the Sphere-Builders.

That could help us with the Council.

Our present course will take us
close to another Sphere.

I'm sending a crew in a shuttlepod.
They'll join up with us later.

How do you plan to get inside it?

We're pretty sure we've found a way in.

You've mentioned the Xindi have been
studying the Spheres for decades.

We're interested in
any information you have

on the construction of their outer shells.

I'll send over whatever's in my database.

Sir.

I've been reviewing service transcripts.

You've got over a thousand hours
in an EV suit.

I did six months on the Janus loop.

You interested in
running this mission with us?

I'm always ready to stretch my legs, sir.

Get prepped.

The Janus,

that includes EV combat training?

Yes, sir.

Are we expecting a firefight?

Don't know what to expect.

When it's finished compiling,
send it to Enterprise.

SPHERE-BUILDER:
It's not too late.

Dismissed.

Not everyone has forgotten
what we've done for your people.

What do you want?

You've turned away from us.

Come back.

- I can't.
- I hear it in your voice.

You've betrayed everything you believe in,
and now you're in turmoil.

I don't regret what I'm doing.

At one time or another,
you must have asked yourself

why we've protected the Xindi
for so long.

Many of us have wondered that.

It's because we can see a future
where the Xindi are no longer fragmented,

no longer struggling for existence.

You are destined to become
a great civilization.

And now it's all in jeopardy

because of you.

No.

You created a device
that will prevent a devastating attack.

Your name was to be spoken
with reverence

for generations to come.

And instead,

you've chosen the role of betrayer.

How I'm remembered
isn't for you to decide.

What have we done to lose your faith?

You never deserved my faith.

The Sphere-Builders have lied
to the Xindi.

They've manipulated us for decades.
I see that.

Perhaps the Arboreals will,
but the others...

We have the evidence to back it up.

The evidence may not be enough.

The Sphere-Builders saved the Xindi
from extinction.

When our homeworld was destroyed,
they began appearing to the survivors.

They'd guide them to habitable planets,

show them the location
of valuable resources.

They're practically worshiped.

We call them the Guardians.

It's no wonder you had a hard time
accepting this.

I was brought up to revere them.

I taught my own children to give thanks
to them at the end of each day.

That is what we're facing.

I've stood before a Klingon tribunal.

I can handle a tough room.

Klingons weren't determined
to destroy your world.

But the evidence is strong,
perhaps it will be enough.

We'll face the Council together.

I may take my seat at the Council table,
but I'll be at your side,

no matter what happens.

HOSHI [OVER INTERCOM]:
Bridge to Captain Archer.

- Go ahead.
- We've picked up several Xindi vessels.

They're closing on our position.

Humanoids, Arboreals, and Aquatics.
They're with us.

When we reach the Council's location,
we'll need their protection.

Certain members have more influence
than others.

Anything you can tell me about them?
I need to know what I'm up against.

You know Jannar, the Arboreal.

He's fair-minded, a scientist.
He'll listen to the facts.

I count him as a friend.

Unfortunately, the other members are
somewhat more complicated.

The Aquatics, for instance.

Kiaphet Amman'sor
is a member of the Ibix dynasty,

a very wealthy, very powerful family.

Her opinions carry considerable weight
when she arrives at them.

There's a saying,
"It's easier to count the stars in the sky

than it is for an Aquatic
to reach a decision."

As for the Insectoids, well, their names
grow longer the older they get,

so they become a little difficult
to pronounce.

In many ways, Insectoids are the opposite
of the Aquatics.

They're quick to take sides.
We've run into them.

Which brings us to the Reptilians
and Commander Dolim.

There's a story about him.

I don't know that it's true.
I'd like to believe it isn't.

His daughter gave birth to a son.

He had a deformity in his right arm,
not life threatening,

but enough to preclude
his ever joining the military.

Commander Dolim
had his own grandson poisoned.

From what I've seen,
that's not hard to believe.

As I said, it may be just a story.

But as a father,

it's always in the back of my mind
whenever I have dealings with him.

[DOOR CHIRPS]

Enter.

What is it?

We've located debris.
It's from the ship we sent to find Degra.

- Where?
- Seven light years from here.

Within the cloaking barrier of a Sphere.

I want to know how it was destroyed.

Begin an analysis.

It's under way.

Preliminary findings suggest
they were attacked.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

- Yes.
- Commander,

there are six vessels approaching.
One is the Earth ship.

COMMANDER:
Contact the lead ship.

DEGRA:
This is Degra.

Degra, I was just thinking of you.

How many prisoners have you taken?

We're escorting Enterprise
to the Council.

For what purpose?

Power down your weapons
and withdraw.

What makes you think I would let you
bring an enemy ship into a security zone?

Power down your weapons now.

I don't take orders from you.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

- They've launched a torpedo.
- What?

- Three-hundred meters off the port bow.
- You would fire on a Xindi vessel?

We're prepared to destroy your vessel,
if necessary.

- They're locking weapons.
- Prepare to return fire.

You're outnumbered and outgunned.
There's no need for this.

I assure you,
the Earth ship poses no danger.

I'll see you in the Council chamber.

I look forward to it.

MAYWEATHER:
Five seconds.

Three, two...

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING
THEN COMPUTER BEEPING]

- RCS inverter.
- Shut it down.

- Damage?
- Nothing we need to worry about, sir.

Adjust heading, 026 mark 3.

I'd breathe a whole lot easier if you had
a couple MACOs watching your back.

ARCHER:
Don't worry.

Keep my chair warm.

Good luck.

How's your Insectoid these days?

It depends on which dialect.
There are 67.

Is that all?

Aquatics respect boldness
and confidence.

They view hushed tones with suspicion.

I'll make sure I project.

Not too loudly. The Insectoids interpret
raised voices as a sign of hostility.

When Aquatics use the past tense,
they switch to sonar.

DEGRA:
We should see it in a moment.

ARCHER:
We're still two kilometers up.

DEGRA:
The only way in is from the air.

These cloud layers are present throughout
the year, it's perfectly concealed.

ARCHER:
Avians.

Oh, it's beautiful.

The sixth Xindi race.

This was built centuries
before they became extinct.

According to our archaeologists,
it's over 4,000 years old.

Kind of feels like being called
to the principal's office.

I was never called
to the principal's office.

I was, once.

Move aside.

What for?

When we're done here.

[CHITTERING]

You've brought humans
into this chamber, Degra.

Explain yourself,
if you expect them to leave here alive.

I'm fully prepared to explain my actions.

- There's no cause for threats.
- JANNAR: Agreed.

We've reviewed the data you've sent.

We're prepared to listen
to what you have to say.

You killed 7 million of my people.

I wanna be honest with you.

I don't much like standing here.

- We did what we felt was necessary.
- I know.

You've been told
that at sometime in the future,

my world is going to destroy yours.

That's a lie.

[CHITTERING]

He said,
"The Guardians have never lied to us."

The Guardians built the Spheres.

They're reconfiguring the Expanse,
preparing it for colonization.

You reek of desperation.

You would say anything
to save your world,

as evidenced
by this manufactured data.

It's the truth. The data is accurate.

Anyone with an objective eye
will come to the same conclusion.

You have no idea what the truth is.

Your sympathy for these humans
has corrupted your judgment.

My judgment is perfectly sound.

Were you using sound judgment
when you attacked my ship?

You were trying to prevent us
from reaching this Council.

I was protecting this Council.

[AQUATICS SCREECHING]

"This is not relevant. We're here
to discuss the human's claims."

Agreed. We need to return
to the subject at hand.

[COMMANDER GRUNTS]

I am trying to save my world.

But it's not just Earth that's in danger.

If you wipe out mankind,
you'll be destroying yourself.

I refuse to listen to any more of this.

Earth is going to lead a battle
that defeats the Sphere-Builders.

They know this.

That's why they manipulated you
into attacking us.

Enough!

I demand the immediate seizure
of the Earth ship.

Any vessel that attacks Enterprise
will be fired upon.

You will not defy this Council.

We haven't arrived at a decision yet.

And we never will,
as long as we listen to this human's lies.

If this Council will not defend its people,

then it has no reason to exist.

Wait.

[CHITTERING]

[ARCHER GRUNTS]

[CHITTERING CONTINUES]

You don't wanna know.

[GROANS]

Hold this position.

The exhaust vent.

- Where?
- Set a course, 031 mark 4.

REED:
I don't see an exhaust vent.

- You sure about this?
- Half thrusters.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

- T'Pol.
- Hold your course.

[ALARM BEEPING]

- I'm telling you.
- Hold your course.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Some kind of hologram?

T'POL:
Exactly.

You could have warned us
ahead of time.

Proceed along this conduit.

Aye.

Sixty degrees starboard.
Eighty degrees Z-axis.

We should prepare for EVA.

Let's break out the suits.

We've had difficult sessions before,

in the days following the founding
of this Council.

This is different.

The Council is on the verge
of tearing itself apart.

You underestimate us.

We were all in the same room.
You saw what happened.

We knew it wasn't going to be easy.

We are never going to convince
the Reptilians or the Insectoids.

Then we'll focus on the Aquatics.

The Aquatics weigh every argument
in excruciating detail.

For a long time,
they were against building the weapon.

What changed their minds?

JANNAR:
The Guardians addressed the Council.

They presented what they claimed was
a visual record taken from the future.

It showed mankind destroying
our new homeworld.

That convinced the Aquatics.

It was powerful evidence.

JANNAR:
The Avians.

Once they darkened the skies of Xindus
with their numbers.

We formed the Council to prevent
other Xindis from sharing their fate.

Your Council just might have
the opposite effect.

DEGRA:
Perhaps not.

There might be a way to convince them.

I'll require the services
of your ship's doctor.

The Council is preparing
to betray its own people.

Archer has achieved nothing.

He has succeeded
in raising doubts about us.

The Arboreals, Humanoids, and Aquatics
are considering what he had to say.

He should never have been allowed
before the Council.

I couldn't prevent it.

And now, they may decide against
launching the weapon.

The weapon will be deployed.

For that to happen,
three of the Xindi species must agree.

If we could prove to them
your people didn't build the Spheres--

Prove to them, or you?

My lieutenant simply wants to know
if there's a way to persuade the Council.

Persuasion is no longer a viable option.

You must act with the Insectoids.

Secure the weapon.

The weapon's well-guarded.

The casualties on both sides
would be heavy.

We'd be risking civil war.

A temporary schism cannot be avoided.

But eventually, Reptilians will preside

over a stronger, unified Xindi empire.

We will guarantee Reptilian dominance,

if humankind is eradicated.

Understood.

If you ever question
the Guardians again,

your skin will adorn the bow of this ship.

Yes, this will be very helpful.

I'll have it sent over immediately.

I've never heard of this procedure.

It was developed by the Aquatics.

They have an innate distrust
of the spoken word.

They respond more strongly
to visual stimuli.

You need me for something?

The transport pod
that carried this alien?

It's in the cargo bay.

There are some modifications
that need to be made to it.

The captain would like you
to assist me with the work.

Lucky me.

DEGRA:
Your captain thinks there's no one better

to make these modifications. I agree.

TRIP: Do me a favor,
don't try to get on my good side.

DEGRA: I understand
you and I will always be enemies.

TRIP:
You got that right.

I can't change what happened
to your sister, or any of the 7 million.

But I'm risking my life,

I'm risking the lives of my family,

I've killed members of my own species,

all because I'm trying
to save both our worlds.

This way.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

REED: Picking up a very powerful
energy signature.

T'POL:
We're approaching the memory core.

It's 15 meters ahead.

REED:
It's practically gift wrapped.

- I'm detecting some kind of movement.
- REED: Can you pinpoint it?

There's too much interference.

I don't know where it is, but it's close.

I suggest we work fast.

[DOOR CHIMES]

Come in.

[DOOR OPENS]

We've completed the work.

Mr. Tucker was

extremely cooperative.

I know it isn't easy for him,
working with me.

ARCHER:
Degra.

When I was on the future Enterprise,

400 years from now,

there were Xindi aboard.

Humans and Xindi were serving together
in the Federation.

That's a future worth fighting for.

- Passing notes.
- Sir?

I got sent to the principal's office
for passing a note in class.

It was to Katy Bentley. I was inviting her
to a party a friend of mine was throwing.

- What'd she say?
- Funny thing.

She'd already turned me down,
but after I got in trouble...

Some women can't resist the bad boys.

After much deliberation,

we've agreed to listen
to this new evidence you wish to present.

Proceed.

The Sphere-Builders,

the beings you call the Guardians,

are the same species.

Have you manufactured more data
to support this claim?

A few weeks ago,
we came across an alien.

He was adrift in what we believe
was a transdimensional disturbance.

The alien was inside a pod

which was constructed
of the same combination of alloys

that make up the outer shell
of the Spheres.

He was a Sphere-Builder.

[AQUATICS SCREECHING]

"You've already presented
this information."

Not all of it.

Energize.

Your data states
that this alien disintegrated

when it came into contact
with our universe.

He did.

DEGRA: What you're seeing
is a biometric hologram.

It's the same technology used
to train our physicians.

It was constructed from medical data
collected by Enterprise's medical officer.

[CHITTERING]

"How do we know the data used
to create this phantom wasn't falsified?"

Humans don't have the technology
to produce a fabrication of this detail.

Tell me,

is this one of the Guardians?

The physical resemblance
is hard to deny.

[AQUATICS SCREECHING]

"It is a Guardian."

[CHITTERING]

HOSHI:
"We are not deceived by this illusion.

Restore the dignity of our Council.
Expel the humans from this chamber."

We are open to hearing more.

So are we.

[AQUATICS SCREECHING]

- HOSHI: "We agree."
- Please, continue.

Reed to Shuttlepod 1. Anything?

No, sir. Whatever it was,
it's stopped moving.

Got something.
It's heading in your direction, moving fast.

I don't see anything.

HAWKINS:
Where is it? Give me a position.

It's coming down
from the upper-left quadrant.

- Are you sure?
- Damn sure.

It's 70 meters away.

Fifty meters. Thirty. Fifteen.

HAWKINS:
I see it.

[HAWKINS SCREAMS]

REED:
Hawkins!

Go! Go!

Five more headed this way. Move.

I still can't pin down the problem
with the converter.

I think it's an energy drain somewhere.

We're far from 100 percent.

There's been a development.

- Dismissed.
- We have the three votes we need.

The Reptilians have agreed
to postpone the launch of the weapon.

They'll need more convincing
before they solidify their position,

but this is a significant step.

That future you spoke of,

perhaps this is where it begins.

Question.

Those portable power cells you left us,

we're having a little trouble
getting them in sync.

Think you can stick around
for a few minutes, give me a hand?

Of course.

We'll be in my Ready Room.

Listen.

About all those things
I've been saying,

I just wanna tell you

I know you went out on a limb.

If I'd suffered your loss,
I'd feel the same way.

Shall we get to work?

It's over here.

[DOOR CHIMES]

Come in.

[DOOR OPENS]

I wasn't expecting you.

COMMANDER: There are some things
we need to discuss.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I've never liked this place.

- I've always found it to be peaceful.
- It's too exposed.

Reptilians prefer to be near the ground.

And then there's the stench.

- DEGRA: Stench?
- Of failure.

Of a race that failed to survive.

I was surprised by your decision
to postpone the launch.

It seemed like the right thing to do.

I hope the other members will come
to the same conclusion.

They'll fall into line.

I have always believed
that all Xindi long for unification.

It's in our blood.

I agree.

The Earth ship.

I'm assisting them
with their engine repairs.

They've found quite an ally in you.

A pity you haven't extended
the same friendship to your fellow Xindi.

What do you mean?

We recovered a sensor encoder
from our missing scout ship.

It was in the cloaking barrier
of a Sphere.

We were able to extract the final scans
it took before they were destroyed

by you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

The evidence is irrefutable.

We have an image of your ship firing.

Don't try to deny what you did.

They left me no choice.

And you've left me no choice.

[GROANS]

The crew on that ship

are the last Xindi you'll ever betray.

[GROANING]

When the humans
have been eliminated,

when the Council has been replaced
by Reptilian rule,

I am going to find
your wife and children

[GASPS]

and do the same to them.

Your traitorous bloodline will end

at the tip of my blade.

Trouble sleeping?

It's weird. With things finally looking up,

you'd think I'd be able
to get some shut-eye.

There's a section of the Mess Hall
up and running.

- In the mood for a snack?
- Certainly.

I guess you heard,
the captain pulled it off.

The Xindi postponed
the weapon launch.

You make that sound like bad news.

Ever since the attack on Earth,
all I've thought about is

getting back
at whoever was responsible.

And now we are making peace
with them.

Yeah, I've gotten used to the anger.

It's gonna be like, I don't know,
losing an old friend.

[CHUCKLES]

You have other friends.

Is it my imagination
or are you losing weight?

[LAUGHS]

I was hoping someone might notice.

Yeah, I'm not the only one.
Hoshi commented on it last week.

Well, I'm pleased to see
that my efforts are yielding results.

- What's your secret?
- A Denaxian tapeworm.

It attaches itself to the lower
intestinal tract and absorbs nutrients--

Hold on, hold on.

You have a worm inside you?

It's perfectly harmless.
I hardly notice it at all.

How you gonna get it out?

I insert a standard V-probe into my--

No, no, no. Never mind.

- Well, it's a simple procedure.
- I'm sure it is, doc.

I just don't wanna lose my appetite.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

Degra's dead.

He was found in his quarters
about an hour ago.

He'd been murdered, stabbed.

Who did this?

The Reptilians have called
an emergency meeting of the Council.

I believe their recent turnabout

was nothing more than a ruse
to keep us off guard.

They're planning something.
I'm certain of it.

Your ship's in danger.

Keep me apprised.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

- Archer to the Bridge.
- HOSHI: Bridge.

Go to tactical alert.

[ALARM BEEPING]

It was that last run
through the cloaking barrier.

The coil assembly's been damaged.

Reduce speed. Hold at half-impulse.

- Aah!
- T'POL: Lieutenant?

I'm all right. I'm fine.

Maybe that's the problem.

Maybe we're getting a bit too comfortable
with losing people.

Twenty-three men and women.

On any given mission, the limit
of acceptable casualties is 20 percent.

So says traditional military doctrine.

Well, we've crossed that margin.

There's a Vulcan axiom.

"The needs of the many
outweigh the needs of a few."

Corporal Hawkins understood that.

That doesn't make his death
any more acceptable.

No, but it makes it honorable.

You admit killing him?

With pride. He was a traitor.

He was a member of this Council.

Degra destroyed a Reptilian ship.

Twenty-two crewmen died.

I only regret not doing it sooner.

You're going to regret
a lot more than that.

Why did you call this meeting?

You have a decision to make.

We've taken control of the weapon.

We're going to launch it.

And you accuse Degra
of being a traitor?

[CHITTERING]

Either you stand with us,
or you stand against us.

That's not a choice, it's an ultimatum.

Call it what you will.

[SCREECHING]

Neither will we.

None of us will.

Then we withdraw from this Council.

Think about what you are doing.
This alliance has lasted for decades.

It's lasted too long.
You've become complacent.

The weapon cannot be launched
without three of the codes.

You only have two.

Do you really believe
we haven't considered that?

I can give you 3.4 with a little coaxing,
but some of the relays are still fried.

We're in no shape for combat.

That hasn't stopped us in the past.

You sure they're coming after us?

Count on it.

I can't believe
I actually feel bad about Degra.

Twenty-four hours ago,
I would have been celebrating.

A lot can happen in a day.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

HOSHI:
Bridge to Captain Archer.

Archer.

Five Insectoid ships are descending
toward the surface.

Report.

The weapon's been launched
from beneath the surface.

The Insectoid ships
are in formation around it.

Pursuit course.

We're being hailed.

The Reptilians and Insectoids have
seized control of the weapon.

ARCHER:
We're tracking it.

I've ordered all available ships
to intercept.

We're right behind you.

REED: I hope there's something in there
you can use.

Most definitely.

There's a large group of ships
leaving the system.

One of them is Enterprise.

I'm detecting weapons fire.

Stay with it. Keep firing.

It's the shuttlepod.

Tell them to stay put.
We'll come back for them when we can.

ARCHER:
Open a channel to Degra's ship. Uhn.

We're moving in on the weapon.

Concentrate your fire
on the primary generators,

six meters below the aft thrusters.

Forget the others. Target Enterprise.

Get the female.

Hoshi!

They're disabled.

The female?

Generators at maximum power.

Take us into the vortex.

CREW MEMBER:
We've lost them, sir.
