Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,135 --> 00:00:12,387
Previously
on Star Trek: Picard...
2
00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:13,888
A group of rogue synthetics
3
00:00:13,888 --> 00:00:15,390
dropped
the planetary defense shields,
4
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:17,934
completely destroying
the Utopia Planitia shipyard.
5
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:19,394
Tell us, Admiral.
Why did you
6
00:00:19,394 --> 00:00:20,687
really quit Starfleet?
7
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:23,189
Because it was
no longer Starfleet!
8
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:25,859
We're done here.
9
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:27,402
What's happening?
Baby, please,
10
00:00:27,402 --> 00:00:28,528
find Picard.
11
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:29,904
He can help you.
12
00:00:29,904 --> 00:00:31,906
What do you want here?
13
00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:32,824
I was with my boyfriend.
14
00:00:34,242 --> 00:00:35,660
They murdered him.
15
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:37,412
No! No! No!
16
00:00:37,412 --> 00:00:39,372
Something inside of me
just knew what to do--
17
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:41,791
how to move, how to fight.
18
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:46,504
Everything inside of me says
that I'm safe with you.
19
00:00:46,504 --> 00:00:48,131
I had a dear friend.
20
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:49,549
Commander Data.
21
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:50,717
He painted you,
22
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:53,094
exactly as you are here
and now.
23
00:00:53,094 --> 00:00:54,262
That's impossible.
24
00:00:54,262 --> 00:00:56,598
He named the painting
Daughter.
25
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,266
Stay down!
26
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:00,059
She came here
27
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:01,978
to find safety.
28
00:01:06,441 --> 00:01:07,609
No!
29
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:09,444
I owe it to her
30
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:10,779
to find out
31
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,198
who killed her
and why.
32
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:15,742
The androids that destroyed
Mars came from this lab.
33
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:18,578
No one has ever been able
to redevelop the science used
34
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:21,080
to create Data.
Then came Bruce. Maddox.
35
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,958
His theory was that Data's
entire code, even his memories,
36
00:01:23,958 --> 00:01:27,212
could be reconstituted from
a single positronic neuron.
37
00:01:27,212 --> 00:01:29,422
Then Data, or some part of him,
38
00:01:29,422 --> 00:01:31,257
would be alive.
There'd be no way of knowing
39
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,218
without examining...
Dahj.
40
00:01:33,218 --> 00:01:34,761
Data's daughter.
41
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:36,137
They're created in pairs.
42
00:01:36,137 --> 00:01:37,722
Dr. Asha?
43
00:01:37,722 --> 00:01:38,723
Narek.
44
00:01:38,723 --> 00:01:39,766
Soji.
45
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,267
Twins?
Twins.
46
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:44,145
So there's another one.
47
00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:56,616
Attention, all personnel.
48
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:59,077
Happy First Contact Day.
49
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:02,956
Celebrations will be held in
designated recreational areas
50
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:06,793
during regularly scheduled
alpha and beta shift breaks.
51
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:09,504
All directors, please submit
final duty logs
52
00:02:09,504 --> 00:02:11,005
prior to shift change.
53
00:02:11,005 --> 00:02:13,925
Sector 3 maintenance regulators
54
00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:15,927
will report to
mandatory security training...
55
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,806
Good morning, plastic people.
56
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:22,350
Good morning, Mr. Pincus.
57
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:25,228
Let's go to work.
58
00:02:26,938 --> 00:02:29,649
All A500 maintenance issues
59
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:32,235
should be reported to
Synthetic Personnel supervisors
60
00:02:32,235 --> 00:02:35,029
prior to initiating
manual shutdown proceedings.
61
00:02:38,032 --> 00:02:40,952
Every other tri-hy station
in the yard gets off
62
00:02:40,952 --> 00:02:42,579
First Contact Day.
63
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:44,080
Not us.
64
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,123
What'd we do wrong?
65
00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:46,291
To have a
skeleton crew,
66
00:02:46,291 --> 00:02:48,001
you have to
have skeletons.
67
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:50,962
I bet my kids
are having cake on Earth.
68
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:53,631
Yo, F8, you get into
69
00:02:53,631 --> 00:02:55,049
any trouble
last night?
70
00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:56,301
Hell yeah.
71
00:02:56,301 --> 00:02:57,635
Yeah? Doing what?
72
00:02:57,635 --> 00:02:59,304
Nothing.
73
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:01,139
Hell yeah.
74
00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:02,974
Hell yeah.
75
00:03:02,974 --> 00:03:04,684
Hey, F8,
I got one for you.
76
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:06,686
What's brown and sticky?
77
00:03:06,686 --> 00:03:08,521
Teratogenic coolant.
78
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:10,148
Isonucleic residue.
79
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:11,774
Boson-enriched
nanopolymer.
80
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:13,484
A stick.
81
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,404
You get it?
82
00:03:16,404 --> 00:03:18,364
No.
83
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,455
- Dude creeps me out.
- Hey,
84
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:26,706
he can hear you.
85
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:28,374
And?
86
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:29,542
You can't offend them.
87
00:03:29,542 --> 00:03:31,002
They're not people.
88
00:03:31,002 --> 00:03:32,712
And they can rip
through solid titanium
89
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:34,172
without breaking
a sweat.
90
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:35,590
What are you,
his sister?
91
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:37,383
who raised you?
92
00:03:37,383 --> 00:03:39,594
Report to primary
reactor control sector.
93
00:03:42,847 --> 00:03:45,224
...Sector 3.
Hazard protocol
94
00:03:45,224 --> 00:03:48,227
in effect
until further notice.
95
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:53,232
I wish they'd go back
to using uno-amino matrices
96
00:03:53,232 --> 00:03:55,443
in the replicators.
No kidding.
97
00:03:55,443 --> 00:03:57,487
Space pineapples again.
98
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,616
I know what's brown and sticky.
99
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:04,494
This food is brown
and sticky.
100
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:05,578
Is this a joke?
101
00:04:05,578 --> 00:04:07,538
Hey, that dude is lucky.
102
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:10,750
Now, here is
some brown, sticky shit.
103
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:12,251
Amen.
104
00:04:12,251 --> 00:04:14,128
Did you replicate flies
with that, too?
105
00:04:20,259 --> 00:04:21,928
What are you doing?
106
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,137
Security alert.
107
00:04:23,137 --> 00:04:24,764
Multiple synthetic labor units
108
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:26,099
have been compromised.
Hey.
109
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:27,266
Get away from there.
110
00:04:27,266 --> 00:04:28,434
Deflector shields down
111
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:31,270
in all sectors
of Utopia Planitia.
112
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:32,939
Repeat, security alert.
Shit.
113
00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:34,524
Multiple synthetic...
114
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:45,368
Central,
this is tri-hy station A19.
115
00:04:45,368 --> 00:04:47,495
Synth unit F8
has been compromised.
116
00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:48,663
We have a man down.
117
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:50,707
Repeat,
we have a man down.
118
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:55,712
Stand down!
119
00:04:57,463 --> 00:05:00,216
Grid failure detected.
120
00:05:00,216 --> 00:05:03,636
Move immediately
to designated safe zones.
121
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,639
Security grid failure
in progress.
122
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,808
Containments have failed.
123
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:10,935
Evacuate immediately.
124
00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:14,230
Orbital defense system
compromised.
125
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:17,275
Emergency evacuation protocol
in effect...
126
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:20,111
Cascade failure in progress.
127
00:07:17,728 --> 00:07:19,730
Surface scans negative.
128
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:22,275
No matter or trace elements
consistent
129
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:24,277
with Dahj Asha are present.
130
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,654
They erased her.
131
00:07:26,654 --> 00:07:29,157
And then they erased
themselves.
132
00:07:29,157 --> 00:07:31,033
Well, it's certainly Tal Shiar's
operational style, but...
133
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:32,577
On Earth?
134
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:34,829
Not even the Tal Shiar
would have that audacity.
135
00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:36,372
Then who?
136
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:39,333
It has to be.
137
00:07:39,333 --> 00:07:40,835
Zhat Vash.
138
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:43,296
And here we go.
139
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:45,089
What is Zhat Vash?
140
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:46,757
A Tal Shiar myth.
141
00:07:46,757 --> 00:07:50,344
It's a kind of boogeyman they
use to frighten new recruits.
142
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:51,971
And children.
143
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:54,098
Please explain.
144
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:55,641
Here in the Federation,
145
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:58,853
you refer to the Tal Shiar
as the Romulan secret police.
146
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:01,606
But it's a bit
redundant.
147
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:03,149
You could put the
word "secret" in front
148
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,526
of almost any aspect
of Romulan culture.
149
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:08,237
I have heard--
and I have reason to believe--
150
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:10,656
that the Tal Shiar
is merely a mask worn
151
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:12,783
by another, far older cabal.
152
00:08:12,783 --> 00:08:15,036
That
before the Tal Shiar,
153
00:08:15,036 --> 00:08:16,829
there was the Zhat Vash.
154
00:08:18,956 --> 00:08:22,126
"Zhat vash" is a term sometimes
used to refer to the dead,
155
00:08:22,126 --> 00:08:25,129
the only reliable keepers
of secrets.
156
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:27,131
- Ominous.
- No. Fitting.
157
00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:30,009
Because that's the sole purpose
of the Zhat Vash.
158
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:35,348
To keep a secret so
profound and terrible
159
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:38,434
just learning it can
break a person's mind.
160
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:45,691
Are you sure
161
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:47,568
she said
that he was murdered here,
162
00:08:47,568 --> 00:08:48,736
in her apartment?
163
00:08:48,736 --> 00:08:50,863
She did.
164
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:53,866
All apparent evidence
to the contrary.
165
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:55,701
Would it be foolish to ask
166
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:58,996
what is the dread secret
that the Zhat Vash are keeping?
167
00:08:58,996 --> 00:09:01,499
No one outside the Zhat Vash
knows for sure.
168
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:03,084
But I've heard whispers.
169
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:05,586
Romulan methods
of forensic
170
00:09:05,586 --> 00:09:08,756
molecular reconstruction
are illegal in the Federation.
171
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:09,715
Really?
172
00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:11,717
I had no idea.
Yeah.
173
00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:13,594
They're also unreliable,
and,
174
00:09:13,594 --> 00:09:15,221
the results are
175
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,764
dubious at best.
Yeah.
176
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:19,225
That's exactly what we wanted
you to think.
177
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:21,102
When I was a new recruit,
178
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:23,145
one of my first handlers...
My mother.
179
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:24,772
...got drunk on Romulan ale...
180
00:09:24,772 --> 00:09:26,274
My father.
...and let slip
181
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:29,068
that at the heart
of the Zhat Vash mission
182
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:32,405
was a deep,
unassuageable loathing.
183
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,115
A loathing of whom?
184
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:35,574
Not whom.
185
00:09:35,574 --> 00:09:36,909
What.
186
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:52,633
More wine?
187
00:09:52,633 --> 00:09:54,760
Surprise me.
188
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,979
Dahj, your replicator
menus are tragic.
189
00:10:07,148 --> 00:10:09,942
That's... extraordinary.
190
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:11,652
It's said they operate
191
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:14,613
without regard for treaty
or jurisdiction--
192
00:10:14,613 --> 00:10:16,198
and not just
in Romulan worlds,
193
00:10:16,198 --> 00:10:18,868
but in the Klingon Empire,
the Gorn Hegemony,
194
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:20,786
even the Federation itself--
195
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:22,496
and that they have kept
this secret
196
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:24,665
for thousands upon thousands
of years.
197
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:27,293
The cheeky fuckers.
198
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:29,628
They've overwritten
the particle residuum.
199
00:10:29,628 --> 00:10:30,963
Overwritten it?
200
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:32,798
Yes. And in
a very sophisticated way.
201
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:33,799
It's...
202
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,134
barely detectable.
203
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,802
It would read as
instrument failure
204
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:37,803
if you didn't
know better.
205
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:38,846
But it's not.
206
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:40,306
It's a flat-out wipe.
207
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:42,016
Can you recover it?
208
00:10:43,976 --> 00:10:46,479
Have you never noticed
the complete absence
209
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:49,357
of any form of artificial life
in Romulan culture?
210
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:51,025
We don't have
androids or AIs.
211
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:53,027
We don't study
cybernetics.
212
00:10:53,027 --> 00:10:56,655
Our computers are limited
to purely numerical functions.
213
00:10:56,655 --> 00:10:59,825
They must have saturated
this place in antileptons.
214
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:02,370
At no small risk to
themselves, by the way.
215
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:05,331
This place hasn't just
been cleaned, Admiral.
216
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:06,832
It's been scrubbed.
217
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:10,544
Is that to be expected
of your Zhat Vash?
218
00:11:10,544 --> 00:11:12,129
Well, they're
notmy Zhat Vash,
219
00:11:12,129 --> 00:11:14,131
and I thought you
didn't believe in them.
220
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:16,967
I may be coming around.
221
00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:18,803
So, then...
222
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:24,517
all this is about the Zhat Vash
hatred of androids.
223
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:26,477
It's not simply hate.
224
00:11:26,477 --> 00:11:28,813
It's hate and fear
225
00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:31,065
and pure loathing
226
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:33,025
for any form of synthetic life.
227
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:34,693
Why?
228
00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:36,904
That I can't tell you.
I don't know.
229
00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:40,032
But I am certain
that is the silence
230
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:42,618
that seals the mouths
of the Zhat Vash,
231
00:11:42,618 --> 00:11:44,328
as surely and eternally
as death.
232
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:45,830
The operatives
who did this
233
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:47,873
wouldn't have wanted
to leave the impression
234
00:11:47,873 --> 00:11:49,583
that the place
had been scrubbed.
235
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:53,587
We may find they've neglected
something, some...
236
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:56,132
actual clue...
237
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:59,427
that lay tucked inside a
false clue, as it were.
238
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:01,429
Something like this,
239
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:03,681
for example?
240
00:12:10,604 --> 00:12:12,565
There's no record
of any incoming
241
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:14,525
or outgoing calls.
242
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:16,360
The information's there,
243
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,446
but the indexes
have been surgically deleted.
244
00:12:18,446 --> 00:12:20,698
There's no way to sort the data.
245
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:22,575
Essentially,
they've sterilized it,
246
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:25,035
so that it's...
qualitatively agnostic.
247
00:12:25,035 --> 00:12:27,079
There's no distinction.
248
00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:28,873
Everything looks
like everything else.
249
00:12:28,873 --> 00:12:30,541
What we need
250
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:33,252
is a record of any contact
that she may have had
251
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:36,088
with her sister.
And no doubt
it's in here, but it
252
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:38,007
will look the same
as everything else.
253
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,219
N... No, it...
254
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:44,763
it will look likeher.
255
00:12:44,763 --> 00:12:46,765
Like Dahj.
256
00:12:46,765 --> 00:12:48,893
Wh-What's her name?
Um, Dr. Jurati.
257
00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:51,604
She said that they would be
identical twins, right?
258
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:54,440
Even closer than twins, perhaps.
Okay. So what's
259
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,441
the first thing you do
260
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:56,942
when you bring a new
digital assistant online?
261
00:12:56,942 --> 00:12:59,445
Introduce myself.
Exactly.
262
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,947
Computers like efficiency,
so what a computer does
263
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:04,366
is build heuristics,
264
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:06,118
shortcuts to the tasks
265
00:13:06,118 --> 00:13:07,953
it performs most often.
You're saying
266
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,788
that if they were
indistinguishable,
267
00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:12,249
then the machine, at some point,
268
00:13:12,249 --> 00:13:15,252
could have mistaken
the sister for Dahj.
Exactly.
269
00:13:15,252 --> 00:13:17,796
And if it did, even
for a few seconds
270
00:13:17,796 --> 00:13:19,715
before it flagged the error,
then the tags
271
00:13:19,715 --> 00:13:21,800
might still be in here,
272
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,763
overlooked by even the
most diligent of scrubbers.
273
00:13:25,763 --> 00:13:27,723
Got you.
274
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:30,226
Okay.
275
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:32,853
These were all outgoing.
276
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:35,648
And these...
277
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:37,525
were incoming.
278
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:41,445
It's her.
279
00:13:42,821 --> 00:13:44,657
Ghosts in the machine.
280
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,660
Can you tell me
where she is?
281
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:49,620
No.
282
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:52,039
But I can tell you
where she isn't.
283
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:56,835
Nonlocal information packets are
routed through subspace relays.
284
00:13:56,835 --> 00:13:59,046
This routing leaves tiny
285
00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:01,465
but unmistakable
code marks.
286
00:14:01,465 --> 00:14:02,800
Nonlocal?
287
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,635
I'm saying this
transmission
288
00:14:04,635 --> 00:14:06,887
came from off-world.
289
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:11,934
Are you certain?
Wherever this girl
290
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:14,687
was calling her
sister from,
291
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,564
it's nowhere on Earth.
292
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:28,033
Beautiful?
293
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:31,745
No one's ever said that before
about a Borg Cube.
294
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:36,083
This isn't a Borg cube, Narek.
295
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:39,003
It's the Artifact.
296
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:41,839
A Borg cube is mighty
and omnipotent.
297
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:49,305
The Artifact is lost.
298
00:14:50,931 --> 00:14:53,392
Severed from the Collective.
299
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:55,394
Broken.
300
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:56,812
Vulnerable.
301
00:14:56,812 --> 00:14:58,981
You find vulnerability
302
00:14:58,981 --> 00:15:01,025
and brokenness beautiful.
303
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:02,776
Is that strange?
304
00:15:02,776 --> 00:15:05,237
To find beauty in imperfection?
305
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:07,531
It's certainly not
very Romulan.
306
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:09,950
But, then,
there's nothing very Romulan
307
00:15:09,950 --> 00:15:11,744
about this place at all.
308
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,079
Apart from the current owners
309
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:16,081
and the profits you extract
310
00:15:16,081 --> 00:15:18,751
from the exploitation
of Borg technology.
311
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:20,753
Are you a subversive,
Dr. Asha,
312
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:23,255
sent by our enemies
to foment revolution
313
00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:24,757
among the researchers?
314
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:26,258
Yes, I am.
315
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:28,093
But it's too late now.
316
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:29,928
You already slept with me.
317
00:15:29,928 --> 00:15:32,264
That makes you an
accessory to my plot.
318
00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:37,561
Clearly...
319
00:15:37,561 --> 00:15:39,980
I'll have to silence you.
320
00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:49,573
Try it.
321
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,755
Time for work.
322
00:16:04,755 --> 00:16:06,799
Yeah.
323
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,592
Me, too.
You have a job?
324
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:10,678
Thought you were just some
Romulan lounge lizard.
325
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:12,721
We all have
our part to play.
326
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,266
Can I ask you a question?
327
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:19,019
Sure. Just don't
expect an answer.
328
00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:22,439
Are we allowed to be sleeping
together? Or is that a secret?
329
00:16:22,439 --> 00:16:24,942
Very much the latter.
330
00:16:26,276 --> 00:16:28,529
Is everything Romulans do
a secret?
331
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:31,115
Ooh, I'm not at liberty
to divulge that.
332
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,242
Is your name actually Narek?
333
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:35,661
It's one of them.
334
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:39,289
So is there anything you can
tell me about yourself?
335
00:16:39,289 --> 00:16:41,333
Yes.
336
00:16:41,333 --> 00:16:45,838
I'm a very private person.
337
00:16:47,881 --> 00:16:52,302
So, see you at the Checkpoint?
338
00:16:52,302 --> 00:16:53,762
Ooh, really?
339
00:16:53,762 --> 00:16:55,180
I need to see how it works.
340
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:59,226
In your new capacity as...
341
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,856
Yes.
342
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:05,566
Good.
343
00:17:09,945 --> 00:17:11,989
So can I.
344
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:28,505
He said I'd find you out here.
345
00:17:28,505 --> 00:17:30,048
Moritz.
346
00:17:30,048 --> 00:17:32,760
Hello, Jean-Luc.
347
00:17:35,387 --> 00:17:38,724
It's been a very long time.
348
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,559
Too long.
349
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:44,438
I know there was a bit of
trouble with the remote medscan,
350
00:17:44,438 --> 00:17:46,356
but I hardly expected
a house call.
351
00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:48,358
Let me just, um...
352
00:17:48,358 --> 00:17:52,279
Your office told me
they would be forwarding
353
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:54,323
the certificate
for interstellar service
354
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:57,785
as soon as you had
seen the results.
355
00:18:01,079 --> 00:18:03,916
I see.
356
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,627
You might want
something stronger.
357
00:18:12,090 --> 00:18:15,260
Your medscan came in at
or above Starfleet minimums
358
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:17,262
in every category.
359
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:20,057
Cardiovascular, metabolic,
cognitive.
360
00:18:20,057 --> 00:18:22,935
For a relic, you're
in excellent shape.
361
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:28,106
Just that little abnormality
in the parietal lobe.
362
00:18:28,106 --> 00:18:30,442
I was told a long time ago
363
00:18:30,442 --> 00:18:34,738
that it might cause
a problem eventually.
364
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:38,951
Loss of appetite, mood swings,
unsettling dreams?
365
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,455
Inappropriate
displays of anger
366
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:47,084
on interplanetary news holos?
367
00:18:49,127 --> 00:18:51,129
What do you think it is?
368
00:18:51,129 --> 00:18:53,632
I'd need to run more tests.
369
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:56,760
It could be one of a number
of related syndromes.
370
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,095
Prognosis?
371
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,935
Come on. Let's have it,
Dr. Benayoun.
372
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:08,772
A few are treatable, but...
373
00:19:08,772 --> 00:19:11,191
they all end the same way.
374
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:14,570
Some sooner than others.
375
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:17,990
I see.
376
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:31,962
I need you to certify me
to Starfleet
377
00:19:31,962 --> 00:19:36,884
as fit for interstellar service.
378
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:39,970
Now, will you do it?
379
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:44,141
I don't suppose
you'd condescend to tell me why.
380
00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:47,019
Secret mission?
381
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:48,520
We certainly had
our share of those
382
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,897
on theStargazer, didn't we?
383
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:52,357
Remember that time
in the fireforest
384
00:19:52,357 --> 00:19:55,611
on Calyx...
Dr. Benayoun.
385
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:58,030
Forgive me.
386
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:01,700
You really want to go
back out into the cold.
387
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:02,993
Knowing...
388
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:07,080
More than ever, knowing.
389
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,545
I don't know
what kind of trouble
390
00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:15,505
you're planning to get into.
391
00:20:15,505 --> 00:20:18,216
Maybe if
you're lucky,
392
00:20:18,216 --> 00:20:21,053
it will kill you first.
393
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:54,544
All visitors must report
394
00:20:54,544 --> 00:20:56,296
to the main security desk.
395
00:20:56,296 --> 00:20:57,923
All visitors must report
396
00:20:57,923 --> 00:21:00,425
to the main security desk.
397
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:05,555
Admiral Gurdy, please report
to Conference Room B.
398
00:21:05,555 --> 00:21:08,934
Admiral Gurdy, please report
to Conference Room B.
399
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,978
Hello.
400
00:21:10,978 --> 00:21:13,230
I, have a meeting
with the CNC.
401
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:14,856
I have an appointment.
402
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:16,608
Of course, sir.
403
00:21:18,568 --> 00:21:20,737
May I have your name,
please, sir?
404
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:23,615
Um, Picard.
405
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:26,785
P-I-C-A-R-D.
406
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,370
Jean-Luc.
407
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:33,291
It's nice to see you up and
around, Admiral. Welcome back.
408
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:37,963
Come.
409
00:21:40,298 --> 00:21:42,134
Jean-Luc.
410
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:43,844
Kirsten.
411
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:45,429
Hello.
412
00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:46,972
May I?
413
00:21:49,891 --> 00:21:53,311
Apparently, you have urgent
Federation business.
414
00:21:53,311 --> 00:21:55,856
I understood you to have left
affairs of state behind.
415
00:21:55,856 --> 00:21:59,276
I am staying as far
from it all as I can.
416
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:00,819
So then what can I do for you?
417
00:22:00,819 --> 00:22:03,113
Bruce Maddox.
What about him?
418
00:22:03,113 --> 00:22:06,992
I believe that
he is using neurons
419
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:09,202
from the late Commander Data
420
00:22:09,202 --> 00:22:12,372
to create a new
organic synthetic.
421
00:22:12,372 --> 00:22:15,000
Well, that's not far
from all of it,
422
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,168
it is all of it.
423
00:22:16,168 --> 00:22:18,336
The Romulans are involved.
424
00:22:18,336 --> 00:22:20,005
This gets better and better.
425
00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:22,674
Commander Data
was not only my colleague,
426
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:24,676
he was my dear friend,
427
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:27,346
and he gave his life,
body and soul,
428
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:29,014
to the Federation.
429
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:31,558
And if there is
a chance that
430
00:22:31,558 --> 00:22:34,227
some part of him still exists,
431
00:22:34,227 --> 00:22:37,564
then I think we have
an obligation to investigate.
432
00:22:37,564 --> 00:22:39,566
There is no "we," Jean-Luc.
433
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:44,362
Kirsten, I know we have not
always seen eye to eye.
434
00:22:44,362 --> 00:22:47,032
Nevertheless,
I have a request to make.
435
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:49,367
Based on my years
of service,
436
00:22:49,367 --> 00:22:51,203
I want you to reinstate me,
437
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:54,539
temporarily,
for one mission.
438
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:58,376
I will need a small warp-capable
reconnaissance ship
439
00:22:58,376 --> 00:23:02,214
with a minimal crew,
and if you feel that my rank
440
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:05,050
makes me too conspicuous,
well, then,
441
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:07,385
I an content to be demoted
to Captain.
442
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:13,058
The sheer fucking hubris.
443
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:16,103
You think you could just waltz
back in here and be entrusted
444
00:23:16,103 --> 00:23:18,063
with taking men and women
into space?
445
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:20,273
Don't you think I was watching
the holo the other day
446
00:23:20,273 --> 00:23:21,858
along with everyone else
in the galaxy?
447
00:23:21,858 --> 00:23:23,735
I should not have
spoken in public.
448
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:26,571
The Romulans were our enemies,
and we tried
449
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:28,406
to help them
for as long as we could,
450
00:23:28,406 --> 00:23:31,034
but even before the synthetics
attacked Mars,
451
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:35,038
14 species within the Federation
said, "Cut the Romulans loose,
452
00:23:35,038 --> 00:23:36,748
or we'll pull out."
453
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:39,543
It was a choice between allowing
the Federation to implode
454
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:41,211
or letting the Romulans go.
455
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:43,088
The Federation
does not get to decide
456
00:23:43,088 --> 00:23:45,215
if a species lives or dies.
457
00:23:45,215 --> 00:23:47,425
Yes, we do. We absolutely do.
458
00:23:47,425 --> 00:23:50,929
Thousands of other species
depend upon us for unity,
459
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:52,430
for cohesion.
460
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:54,474
We didn't have
enough ships left.
461
00:23:54,474 --> 00:23:56,059
We had to make choices.
462
00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:58,395
But the great Captain Picard
didn't like his orders.
463
00:23:58,395 --> 00:24:00,772
I was standing up
for the Federation,
464
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:02,107
for what it represents,
465
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,776
for what it should
still represent.
466
00:24:04,776 --> 00:24:06,486
How dare you
lecture me?
467
00:24:06,486 --> 00:24:09,114
Ignore me again
at your cost.
468
00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:12,450
My cost?
You are in peril, Admiral.
469
00:24:12,450 --> 00:24:14,786
There is no peril here,
470
00:24:14,786 --> 00:24:17,622
only the pitiable delusions
of a once-great man
471
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:18,957
desperate to matter.
472
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:22,127
This is no longer
your house, Jean-Luc.
473
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:24,421
So do what
you're good at:
474
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:27,299
go home.
475
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:29,342
Request denied.
476
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:48,278
Security badges must be visible
at all times.
477
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:54,326
Here, let me help you with that.
478
00:24:56,453 --> 00:24:58,121
So embarrassing.
479
00:24:58,121 --> 00:25:00,790
Thank you.
480
00:25:00,790 --> 00:25:03,168
Are you new here?
I haven't seen you around.
481
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:04,669
Yesterday.
482
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:07,297
My residency was supposed
to start six months ago, but
483
00:25:07,297 --> 00:25:10,342
the Romulan Free State revoked
it when I was halfway here.
484
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:14,054
I have no idea why, or why
they finally reinstated it.
485
00:25:14,054 --> 00:25:15,847
Well, that sounds
about right.
486
00:25:18,975 --> 00:25:20,519
They still don't have
a clear idea
487
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,230
of how much damage
this cube sustained,
488
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:25,482
or maybe they do and
they just aren't telling,
489
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:28,985
but, anyway, you don't want to
cross over into the Gray Zone
490
00:25:28,985 --> 00:25:32,530
without this turned on.
Don't worry,
491
00:25:32,530 --> 00:25:34,532
you're gonna be fine.
492
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:44,125
Morning
and welcome to Ops Cycle 9834...
493
00:25:44,125 --> 00:25:45,210
Here we go.
494
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:49,214
As guests of the Borg Artifact
Research Institute,
495
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:51,216
your safety
is important to us.
496
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:53,551
You are standing inside
one of the most
497
00:25:53,551 --> 00:25:56,846
destructive weapons ever known,
and though no longer active,
498
00:25:56,846 --> 00:25:58,848
it remains
potentially dangerous.
499
00:25:58,848 --> 00:26:00,475
Please don't
venture outside
500
00:26:00,475 --> 00:26:02,269
of your designated
research area.
501
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:05,230
Assume that any
fixture or instrument
502
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:08,066
not personally known
to be benign is malignant.
503
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,734
Romulans are into drama.
504
00:26:12,904 --> 00:26:14,781
Who is that?
505
00:26:14,781 --> 00:26:18,368
That's Narek.
He's new here, too.
506
00:26:18,368 --> 00:26:21,079
I didn't know Romulans
could be so hot.
507
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:22,747
...from
the Gray Zone will result in...
508
00:26:22,747 --> 00:26:25,834
Me, either.
509
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:28,378
While in the Grey Zone,
you are likely to encounter
510
00:26:28,378 --> 00:26:31,089
former members
of the Borg Collective.
511
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:33,258
Are you researching
the xBs?
512
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:35,385
It's a little more hands-on.
513
00:26:35,385 --> 00:26:38,471
And if your gradient badge
starts to blink green,
514
00:26:38,471 --> 00:26:40,307
run.
515
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:44,352
Don't worry about it.
516
00:26:55,071 --> 00:26:57,282
Narek, this is...
517
00:26:57,282 --> 00:27:00,410
Dr. Naàshala Kunamadèstifee
of Trill Polytech.
518
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:03,580
The Institute is eager to see
your work bear fruit, Doctor.
519
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:06,666
How likely is the Collective to
reestablish a link to your Borg?
520
00:27:06,666 --> 00:27:10,003
Is it, is it really wise
to release them?
521
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:12,964
They're former Borg,
and we're not "releasing" them,
522
00:27:12,964 --> 00:27:15,008
we're reclaiming them.
There's really no danger.
523
00:27:15,008 --> 00:27:17,302
When a cube undergoes
submatrix collapse,
524
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:18,803
the Collective
immediately severs its link
525
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:20,138
to the afflicted population.
526
00:27:20,138 --> 00:27:22,515
As far as the Collective
are concerned,
527
00:27:22,515 --> 00:27:24,184
this is just a graveyard.
528
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:25,810
And what does that make us?
529
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:27,979
The same as you find
in any graveyard.
530
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:31,816
Some have come to feed
on the dead, some are ghosts,
531
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:34,319
and a few, like you, Dr. Asha,
532
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:35,695
have pinned their hopes
on resurrection.
533
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:44,371
Um, may I join you
for the procedure?
534
00:27:44,371 --> 00:27:46,998
I'd-I'd like to see you work.
535
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:50,001
That's not up to me.
You need approval
536
00:27:50,001 --> 00:27:52,504
from the Director of the
Borg Reclamation Project.
537
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,050
Actually, I don't.
538
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:10,355
You have a taste for
the classics, I see.
539
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:14,025
I never really cared
for science fiction.
540
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,860
I guess
541
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:18,238
I just didn't get it.
542
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,743
Well, thank you for coming over.
Yeah.
543
00:28:23,743 --> 00:28:26,413
It's hard to tear myself away
from the action at my lab,
544
00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:27,664
but...
545
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:28,998
Um, your preference?
546
00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:30,708
We have a selection.
547
00:28:30,708 --> 00:28:33,002
Earl Grey?
548
00:28:33,002 --> 00:28:35,630
I knew there was
something about you.
549
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:40,385
I gathered up,
everything I could find
550
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:42,512
from Maddox's tenure
at the Institute.
551
00:28:42,512 --> 00:28:46,558
Most of what was there got
blackboxed after he disappeared,
552
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,893
but they left some of the
ancillary stuff untouched.
553
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:50,562
I was thinking
about the painting.
554
00:28:50,562 --> 00:28:54,107
Bruce and Data were friends
after a fashion.
555
00:28:54,107 --> 00:28:57,402
I-If Bruce is using Data's
neurons to make more synths,
556
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:59,237
it would make sense
to model them
557
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:00,905
after the painting Data made.
558
00:29:00,905 --> 00:29:03,116
Indeed.
559
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:06,369
I also did a little digging
into Dahj Asha.
560
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:09,581
You're right.
She was accepted at Daystrom.
561
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:11,749
In fact, she was
a perfect candidate.
562
00:29:11,749 --> 00:29:15,253
In hindsight,
a little too perfect.
563
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:17,255
Her credentials were bogus?
564
00:29:17,255 --> 00:29:20,425
It's more insidious than that.
I checked with Regulus.
565
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,594
Their records show
she was enrolled there
566
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:24,429
and her grade transcripts
are on file.
567
00:29:24,429 --> 00:29:26,264
So she was what
she claimed to be?
568
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:28,600
She was a complete
work of fiction.
569
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,935
There's no record
570
00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:33,271
of her having actually
attended R3SA.
571
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:36,441
I-I'm no forensics maven,
572
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:39,777
but my sense is that
her entire identity
573
00:29:39,777 --> 00:29:42,238
was built all at once,
about three years ago.
574
00:29:42,238 --> 00:29:44,782
By whom? Bruce Maddox?
575
00:29:44,782 --> 00:29:47,619
He certainly had
the ability.
Motive?
576
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:49,913
I don't know.
577
00:29:49,913 --> 00:29:52,123
People in the synthetic
humanoid field
578
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:54,751
tend to get a little
secret-planny.
579
00:29:54,751 --> 00:29:56,461
Milk?
580
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:57,629
Yes, please.
581
00:29:57,629 --> 00:29:59,672
Thank you.
582
00:30:05,136 --> 00:30:06,804
There you go.
583
00:30:06,804 --> 00:30:08,264
Thank you.
584
00:30:08,264 --> 00:30:11,267
It breaks my heart
that I never
585
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:13,311
got a chance to meet her.
586
00:30:13,311 --> 00:30:15,980
Such a wondrous
thing.
587
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:18,775
And the damn
Romulans just
588
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:21,945
wiped her away.
589
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:26,282
You asked me
what the plan was,
590
00:30:26,282 --> 00:30:28,826
what she was after at Daystrom.
591
00:30:28,826 --> 00:30:31,829
I don't think that's the most
relevant question right now.
592
00:30:31,829 --> 00:30:34,165
I think the question you should
be trying to answer is...
593
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:36,000
"What about the other one?"
594
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,295
If she's really out there,
595
00:30:39,295 --> 00:30:43,007
and if the Romulans
haven't gotten to her, too,
596
00:30:43,007 --> 00:30:45,510
then where is she?
597
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:47,679
And what is she after?
598
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:02,026
Continuing procedure
on Patient 8923/3,
599
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:04,028
one of the Nameless.
600
00:31:06,489 --> 00:31:09,492
Time in regenestasis,
14 years.
601
00:31:09,492 --> 00:31:12,412
Arm implant was
successfully removed.
602
00:31:16,874 --> 00:31:20,503
Initiating ocular harvest
procedure on Nameless.
603
00:31:22,338 --> 00:31:24,841
You know I hate it
when you use that term.
604
00:31:28,886 --> 00:31:31,389
You may have
mentioned that once.
605
00:31:31,389 --> 00:31:34,183
Why do you call them
"the Nameless"?
606
00:31:34,183 --> 00:31:38,062
Their species had a name.
We just don't know what it was.
607
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:39,731
Nameless is a name.
608
00:31:45,903 --> 00:31:48,364
Removing ocular
processing core.
609
00:31:56,247 --> 00:32:01,044
Tertiary mandible implant
containment complete.
610
00:32:01,044 --> 00:32:04,255
Tagged for
level 10 storage.
611
00:32:04,255 --> 00:32:06,591
Interlinked transceiver node
confirmed inactive.
612
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:09,177
Tagged for
level one disposal.
613
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:16,994
Raffi, it's Jean-Luc.
Please, don't hang up.
614
00:33:16,994 --> 00:33:18,413
I need your help.
615
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:21,499
I need a ship.
616
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:38,015
Picard again?
617
00:33:38,015 --> 00:33:40,351
And we all thought that
he was safely mothballed
618
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:42,061
on that vineyard of his.
619
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:45,189
All these years.
The Hermit of La Barre.
620
00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:47,525
Now suddenly he is inescapable.
621
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:49,026
That's one word for what he is.
622
00:33:49,026 --> 00:33:51,404
Going on and on
about advanced synthetics,
623
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:52,739
Bruce Maddox and...
624
00:33:52,739 --> 00:33:55,700
Bruce Maddox?
Is he still alive?
625
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:57,034
Does it even matter?
626
00:33:57,034 --> 00:33:58,536
And then there was this
wild talk about
627
00:33:58,536 --> 00:34:01,748
clandestine Romulan
anti-synth ops here on Earth.
628
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:03,541
It was just...
629
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:05,042
it was just sad.
630
00:34:05,042 --> 00:34:08,379
One might be even inclined
to say tragic.
631
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:11,716
Admiral Clancy, I know I
need hardly remind you
632
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:13,217
if the Romulans were running
633
00:34:13,217 --> 00:34:15,845
clandestine operations on Earth,
634
00:34:15,845 --> 00:34:19,599
I would know.
And then you would know.
635
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:21,809
And then all of Starfleet
would know,
636
00:34:21,809 --> 00:34:24,437
because clearly,
that would be an overt
637
00:34:24,437 --> 00:34:27,440
- and intolerable act of war.
- Of course.
638
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,650
Look, Commodore, obviously
there's nothing to it,
639
00:34:29,650 --> 00:34:31,068
but I thought I'd better check.
640
00:34:31,068 --> 00:34:33,404
Out of an excess of caution,
as they say.
641
00:34:33,404 --> 00:34:35,406
Just look into it.
Of course.
642
00:34:38,826 --> 00:34:41,162
Lieutenant Rizzo,
to me, please.
643
00:34:41,162 --> 00:34:42,497
What?!
644
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:44,624
Have you gone mad?
645
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:46,834
Is it dementia?
I beg your pardon?
646
00:34:46,834 --> 00:34:48,544
Sorry, but you're not
a stupid man,
647
00:34:48,544 --> 00:34:50,713
so when I hear you say
such a stupid idea,
648
00:34:50,713 --> 00:34:52,632
I have to ask
for other explanations.
649
00:34:52,632 --> 00:34:54,634
Well, how about this.
650
00:34:54,634 --> 00:34:58,096
The daughter of the man
whose death I have been mourning
651
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:00,556
for two decades
comes to me for help
652
00:35:00,556 --> 00:35:03,976
and assistance. And then
she is assassinated
653
00:35:03,976 --> 00:35:06,979
in front of my eyes by
a Romulan death squad
654
00:35:06,979 --> 00:35:09,357
who will then go
and try and find
655
00:35:09,357 --> 00:35:12,568
and destroy
her twin sister.
656
00:35:12,568 --> 00:35:14,946
And you want me to sit here
worrying what to do
657
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:16,781
about the spittlebugs
on the pinots?
658
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:18,616
I want you not to die.
659
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:20,785
No one but the Tal Shiar
could ever protect you
660
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,954
against the Tal Shiar.
She's not wrong.
661
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:24,789
You can't go without us.
662
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,416
Idiot!
He cannot go at all.
663
00:35:27,416 --> 00:35:28,793
He's only safe here.
664
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:31,087
He knows about them.
They have to eliminate him.
665
00:35:31,087 --> 00:35:34,132
Nevertheless...
I have to go.
666
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:36,134
Go where? Go how?
667
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,636
Well, I will get
a ship, and I will
668
00:35:38,636 --> 00:35:41,806
find Bruce Maddox,
wherever he is.
669
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:45,309
Laris, I have to do this.
670
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:48,646
I don't yet fully
understand all of it,
671
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,815
but I know that
it's important.
672
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:53,317
And not only to me.
No, of course.
673
00:35:53,317 --> 00:35:55,486
If it's important
to Jean-Luc Picard, it must be
674
00:35:55,486 --> 00:35:57,113
important to the whole galaxy.
675
00:35:58,281 --> 00:35:59,824
Go.
676
00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:01,951
And take that one with you.
677
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:03,995
You can die together.
678
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:08,791
Laris understands.
679
00:36:08,791 --> 00:36:11,127
She's afraid for you,
that's all.
680
00:36:11,127 --> 00:36:12,420
I know that.
681
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:15,798
But you have to stay
here with her.
682
00:36:15,798 --> 00:36:18,384
The grapes are far more in
need of protection that I am.
683
00:36:19,886 --> 00:36:23,055
And it's less than a month
to the harvest.
684
00:36:23,055 --> 00:36:24,807
But you can't do it alone.
685
00:36:24,807 --> 00:36:26,350
You need help.
You need protection.
686
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:28,561
Yeah.
You need a crew.
687
00:36:28,561 --> 00:36:31,022
Riker. Worf. La Forge.
688
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:35,359
No.
689
00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:37,361
I thought about it.
690
00:36:37,361 --> 00:36:39,488
And they would do it
in a heartbeat,
691
00:36:39,488 --> 00:36:42,700
and that's precisely
why I cannot ask them.
692
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:46,203
They would put themselves
at risk out of loyalty to me,
693
00:36:46,203 --> 00:36:50,041
and I do not want to have to
go through that again.
694
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:51,709
Okay.
695
00:36:51,709 --> 00:36:53,753
You need someone who hates you
696
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:55,713
and has nothing to lose.
697
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,925
I've already made the call.
698
00:37:05,348 --> 00:37:06,849
Come.
699
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,938
You wanted to see me, Commodore?
700
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:14,398
Take a look at this.
701
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:16,692
Does that look like
disruptor fire?
702
00:37:16,692 --> 00:37:18,319
There.
703
00:37:18,319 --> 00:37:20,571
Reflected in the hand rail.
704
00:37:20,571 --> 00:37:23,074
Not to me, no.
705
00:37:25,701 --> 00:37:27,453
Admiral Clancy just called.
706
00:37:27,453 --> 00:37:29,747
Jean-Luc Picard
came to see her.
707
00:37:29,747 --> 00:37:31,248
He has information
708
00:37:31,248 --> 00:37:34,752
about clandestine Romulan ops
here on Earth.
709
00:37:34,752 --> 00:37:37,964
He referred to
Zhat Vash by name.
710
00:37:37,964 --> 00:37:39,924
He was trying to persuade her
to give him a ship
711
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:43,052
and let him go after
Dr. Bruce Maddox.
712
00:37:43,052 --> 00:37:45,888
Although she did not
mention that last part,
713
00:37:45,888 --> 00:37:48,099
nor the talk about Zhat Vash.
714
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:49,433
Then how do you know?
Do not
715
00:37:49,433 --> 00:37:51,644
insult me, Lieutenant.
716
00:37:51,644 --> 00:37:54,438
It would not be advantageous
for your career.
717
00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:57,400
Apologies, Commodore.
718
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,901
This is unexpected.
719
00:37:58,901 --> 00:38:00,403
A dirty word...
720
00:38:00,403 --> 00:38:02,405
in our line of work.
721
00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:04,490
Perhaps the worst
word of all.
722
00:38:04,490 --> 00:38:06,951
So you need me
to take care of Picard?
723
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,621
Your zeal and passion
are commendable,
724
00:38:10,621 --> 00:38:14,458
but they are very nearly
overbalanced by your impatience.
725
00:38:14,458 --> 00:38:17,294
There is a fundamental
aptness in the word
726
00:38:17,294 --> 00:38:20,297
"undercover" which you
727
00:38:20,297 --> 00:38:22,299
have yet to fully absorb.
728
00:38:22,299 --> 00:38:25,302
So I won't take care
of him impatiently.
729
00:38:25,302 --> 00:38:27,972
I'll make it last
as long as you like.
730
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:31,809
Clancy has discouraged him
adequately, I believe.
731
00:38:31,809 --> 00:38:34,979
And if the need arises,
732
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:37,481
I will take care of Picard.
733
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:40,151
I want you to stay on mission.
734
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:42,820
You made a shambles
of the operation here.
735
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:46,699
Your team destroyed the thing
before it could be interrogated
736
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:49,493
and nearly blew
our cover. We have
737
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:51,328
one more opportunity.
738
00:38:51,328 --> 00:38:54,040
Do not squander it.
739
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:56,751
Of course.
740
00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:59,336
I've put my best man on it.
Have you?
741
00:38:59,336 --> 00:39:01,047
I worry about that one.
742
00:39:01,047 --> 00:39:03,674
He too has a
troubling penchant
743
00:39:03,674 --> 00:39:05,885
for the unexpected.
744
00:39:05,885 --> 00:39:08,846
And I have had just about my
fill of surprises, Lieutenant.
745
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:10,890
Do I make myself clear?
746
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:15,019
I will vouch for him
with my life.
747
00:39:15,019 --> 00:39:17,897
Indeed. You will.
748
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:19,732
Which is why
I strongly recommend
749
00:39:19,732 --> 00:39:22,860
that you manage
this case in person.
750
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:24,320
Of course.
751
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,531
Everything is at stake.
752
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:30,034
See that he does not fail.
753
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:33,412
See that neither
of you does.
754
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,727
You can turn around
755
00:39:56,727 --> 00:39:58,562
and call that cab
756
00:39:58,562 --> 00:40:01,023
to take you right back
where you came from.
757
00:40:01,023 --> 00:40:02,775
Just want to talk.
758
00:40:02,775 --> 00:40:04,568
There isn't anything
you could say
759
00:40:04,568 --> 00:40:05,903
that I want to hear.
760
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,034
Secret Romulan assassins
are operating on Earth.
761
00:40:13,702 --> 00:40:17,581
Is that the '86?
762
00:40:23,879 --> 00:40:25,172
Goddamn it.
763
00:40:42,606 --> 00:40:45,151
Nice of you to knock.
Why start now?
764
00:40:45,151 --> 00:40:48,654
How's life in Starfleet,
Lieutenant Rizzo?
765
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:52,241
That ridiculous
disguise.
766
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:53,784
Round ears.
767
00:40:53,784 --> 00:40:55,744
You look like a
plucked wakak.
Shut up.
768
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:58,747
Any progress?
Yes.
769
00:40:58,747 --> 00:41:01,750
Slow, but I'm still confident
that my approach,
770
00:41:01,750 --> 00:41:04,628
which you approved,
is the only sound approach.
771
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:06,630
I hope that confidence
is not misguided.
772
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:09,341
If your approach doesn't
start paying off very soon,
773
00:41:09,341 --> 00:41:10,968
I will be obliged
to unapprove it.
774
00:41:10,968 --> 00:41:12,970
For both our sakes.
775
00:41:14,263 --> 00:41:16,932
Commodore
is quite distressed.
776
00:41:16,932 --> 00:41:18,809
She has been a useful ally
777
00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:21,645
for a long time.
I can't have her turning on us.
778
00:41:21,645 --> 00:41:23,314
When I arrive...
779
00:41:23,314 --> 00:41:26,108
When you arrive...
780
00:41:26,108 --> 00:41:27,985
I'm on top of it.
781
00:41:32,323 --> 00:41:35,284
So it would seem.
782
00:41:35,284 --> 00:41:37,453
Have you found the nest?
783
00:41:37,453 --> 00:41:39,121
Has the machine
given up the location
784
00:41:39,121 --> 00:41:40,831
of its fellow abominations?
785
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:44,668
Really, has it told you
anything at all?
786
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:50,299
Grave reservations
have been expressed
787
00:41:50,299 --> 00:41:52,176
about your approach,
baby brother.
788
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:55,346
I don't have to tell you
the stakes couldn't be higher.
789
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:58,182
Has reservations.
790
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:00,351
Profound reservations.
791
00:42:00,351 --> 00:42:02,186
There is no one
whose survival
792
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:03,812
matters more to me than yours.
793
00:42:06,190 --> 00:42:07,858
Except my own.
794
00:42:09,318 --> 00:42:11,153
If you've made
no progress
795
00:42:11,153 --> 00:42:12,863
by the time I get there,
796
00:42:12,863 --> 00:42:14,907
I will have no choice
797
00:42:14,907 --> 00:42:17,284
but to try my approach,
798
00:42:17,284 --> 00:42:19,286
unfortunate as it may have been.
799
00:42:21,705 --> 00:42:24,208
If there is another
such disaster,
800
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:26,710
it will undoubtedly
consume you
801
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:28,379
and me, too.
