Captain's Log, Stardate 41723.9:

In response
to a Starfleet order

we are in the Xendi Sabu
Star System

having rendezvoused
with a Ferengi vessel

which has requested a meeting.

Although we arrived here

and made appropriate signals

to the Ferengi three days ago

they have so far responded only

with the message,
"Stand by, Enterprise. "

You sent for me, sir?

Yes, Doctor.

Sit down.

Um, look...

this, perhaps, may be nothing

but I've been feeling
a bit odd of late.

Uh, fatigued.

And now I've got
this damned headache.

A what?

Headache, headache.

Surely you know
what a headache is.

Of course.

But I don't often
encounter them.

The reason is obvious,
of course.

What are the Ferengi up to?

"Stand by, Enterprise. "

Stand by for what?

I don't see a thing wrong.

No, neither can l--

unless they're baiting
some kind of trap.

With your head.

I see nothing physically wrong

but I want to run some
additional scans in Sick Bay.

Doctor, all I've got is...

Is an order to report
to Sick Bay

from the only person aboard

this ship who can
give you an order.

Captain, from First Officer.

They're finally
sending a message.

On my way, Number One.

Sorry, Doctor.

Duty calls.

They're prepared to talk, sir.

Did they give any hint

what they've been waiting for?

Negative, Captain.

They've identified
their commander as Bok.

Daimon Bok.

You'll be able
to see him now, sir.

They're willing
to communicate on visual.

Open hailing frequencies.

Frequencies open, sir.

Ferengi vessel,
this is Captain Jean-Luc Picard

of the Enterprise.

We are transmitting visually.

Is this the Captain Picard?

Do we know each other?

I know you, Picard.

Then you have the advantage
of me.

Is this Bok?

I am Bok, Daimon of the Ferengi.

I have asked you here to discuss
a mutual problem, Captain.

What problem is that,
Daimon Bok?

I insist on speaking
of that matter in person.

Shall we meet on your vessel
or mine?

Hailing frequencies closed.

Captain, I sense considerable
deception on Bok's part

and danger.

Then we should meet him here.

Keep him under our control.

Now open, sir.

I appreciate your offer,
Daimon Bok.

We would like you
to be our guest here.

As you wish, Picard.

Perhaps this will begin
a new era of cooperation

for both our people.

In one Earth hour, then?

In one hour, Daimon Bok.

End transmission.

I can't believe
they're coming here.

They did agree a bit easily.

In one hour, we shall know why.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission--

to explore
strange new worlds

to seek out new life
and new civilizations

to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

You're always accustomed
to getting your own way, Doctor?

Only when my way
makes sense, Captain.

There's still 40 minutes
until the Ferengi beam over.

I'll have these scans
done in ten.

Seems an awful lot of effort

for something
as simple as a headache.

"As simple"?

You should not have a headache

unless there's
something wrong, sir.

Maybe true that headaches
were once quite common once.

That was in the days
before the brain was charted

before we understood
the nature of pain.

When we were suffering
from things

such as the common cold.

So, what's the cause
of my headache?

Haven't the slightest idea.

Feel better?

The pain's gone.

Medical fakery.

The pain is actually
still there.

It's just cloaked.

I'll want further exams.

Doctor...

When the Ferengi matter
is settled.

Commander, you'll soon be
getting an intruder alert.

What? Wesley, if you've got
something to report...

If you scan heading
4-4, mark 1-6-3

Lieutenant,
you'll find...

Intruder alert,
sir.

I've got something, sir.

It's an old-style
starship, sir--

constellation class--

heading this way
under impulse power.

Says who?

Ensign, answer
the first officer's question.

Says the long-distance sensors,
sir.

I was in Engineering,
playing around

with boosting
the sensor output...

Boosting it?

How?

We will discuss this later.

Reading it now, sir.

It's a constellation-class
starship heading this way

under impulse power,
sending no call letters, sir.

The correct procedure...

What's wrong, sir?

Oh, it's only a... just a...
just a mild headache.

The correct procedure, Ensign

would have been
to signal the Bridge

of your finding immediately.

Yes, sir.

Bringing it here personally--

perhaps with the idea
of being on hand

for the Ferengi beam-over--

might have imperiled
this vessel

had it been something
hostile approaching.

Yes, sir.

We are receiving
no signal at all

from the approaching starship,
sir.

Time, sir.

Time?

Oh, for the Ferengi beam-over.

Do you see any problem connected

with this old starship
coming in, Number One?

I suggest it would be safer, sir

to have the Ferengi here
whatever happens.

Mm-hmm, concur.

Stand by.

Hailing frequencies open, sir.

Welcome in peace
to the Enterprise, DaiMon Bok.

It is our pleasure,
Captain Picard.

Might I introduce
my first officer, Kazago...

my second, Rata.

This is my first officer,
Commander William Riker.

Second in command, Data.

Counselor Troi...

We have heard that
you use females.

Clothed females!

Most interesting.

They are that, sir.

And the android
was mentioned, too.

What is its price?

We should like to purchase it.

He is not for sale.

Commander Data is, um...

He's, um...

Is secondhand merchandise

and you wouldn't want him.

Secondhand, sir?

Oh, of course, a human joke.

Excuse me,
Captain.

The unidentified starship
is coming in.

Still no signal at all.

Think nothing of it.

It is under our control.

One of our starships
under your control?

Do not be alarmed, Captain.

It is a gift from us

with which we honor
the hero of Maxia.

Who?

Why you, Picard, of course.

Do you not remember
the Battle of Maxia?

I'm sorry. I do not
remember it, Daimon Bok.

Data?

Captain, he may refer
to an encounter

which occurred nine years ago
in Maxia Star System

in which an unidentified
starship...

Unidentified?!

That fine vessel was Ferengi.

Which you destroyed, sir.

The Battle of Maxia.

I've never heard it referred to
so dramatically before.

My sincere regrets, Bok

but that vessel
refused to identify itself.

It simply attacked us.

We defended ourselves.

Such mistakes happen in space.

Hardly a mistake, sir.

Your report shows

it deliberately attacked...

Do you want arriving vessel
on main viewer, sir?

It's only a thousand
kilometers away now.

Put it on your viewer.

Main viewer.

There is no one aboard it.

The logs will be downloaded

into the Enterprise's
records...

at a price.

No price!

No price?

What is the purpose of this?

What...

I just felt something, too,
Captain.

Perhaps it is... his conscience?

Bridge to Sick Bay.

No, no, no, I'm fine.

It felt as if... as if it were
something from your past.

It's all right. I'm fine.

What is all this about?

It is about the battle
I mentioned, Captain.

A gift in honor
of that occasion.

Look at that ship closely.

Magnify, please,
Lieutenant La Forge.

Aye, sir.

Why?

That's the Stargazer.

That's my old ship.

How did you find it?

It was a derelict...

adrift in space

on the far side
of this star system.

How it got there is none
of my business, Captain.

But now that vessel is yours
if you wish to have it.

We are not selling it
to him?

Consider it an act
of friendship.

At no cost?!

Ugly.

Very ugly!

Captain's Log, supplemental:

Bok and his officers have
returned to their vessel

inviting us now
to officially take possession

of the Stargazer.

Like before?

No, it hit with more impact.

Hit?

I'm sorry, but anything
could be important.

You said you felt
something yourself.

I believe so.

Like a thought but rather
mechanical in nature.

Are you sure it wasn't
one of my thoughts?

At that moment, I remembered

being at the helm
of the Stargazer.

A maneuver was being made.

We were hit.

Something's burning.

I can smell smoke.

Can you smell it?

There's nothing burning,
Jean-Luc.

Oh...

That was just part of my memory.

Memory or nightmare?

Well, it was strong,
whatever it was.

You ready, Number One?

Staff's waiting,
if Dr. Crusher approves.

I'll do better than that.

I'll go along.

We were traveling at warp 2
through the Maxia Zeta System

and this unidentified starship
suddenly appeared

and fired on us--
point-blank range.

Where did it come from?

It must have been lying
in some deep moon crater.

First attack damaged
the shields.

In the confusion,
they hit us a second time.

No clue who they were?

No names, no reason.

Can you identify them, Vigo?

If they come in a second time
with our shields damaged...

Sir, who's Vigo?

He's my weapons officer
on the Stargazer.

I'm getting quite
caught up in this.

Your shields were failing, sir.

Mm-hmm. I... improvised.

With the enemy vessel
coming in for the kill

I ordered a sensor bearing

and when it came
into the return arc...

You performed what Starfleet
textbooks now refer to as

the "Picard Maneuver."

Well, I did what any good
helmsman would have done.

I dropped into high warp

stopped right off
the enemy vessel's bow

fired everything I had.

And blowing into
maximum warp speed

you appeared for an instant
to be in two places at once.

And our attacker fired
on the wrong one.

"l did what any good helmsman
would have done."

You did it first, sir.

It was a save-our-skins
maneuver.

We were finished, on fire.

We had to abandon ship.

We... Iimped through space
in shuttlecraft for weeks

before we were picked up.

Well, I haven't thought
about this for years.

Sir, the Ferengi are standing
by for us to take the Stargazer.

I want to go over to her.

I understand, sir.

As soon as my people have
made certain that she's safe.

And after I have another
look at you, Captain.

"USS Stargazer.

"Constellation Class.

Starfleet Registry NCC 2893."

I activated the emergency
power cells.

Amazing they still work.

The rest of the ship is clear
of surprises, Lieutenant Yar.

You know, when I read
about this ship at the academy

I never dreamed I'd be on her.

Yar to Enterprise.

All clear, sir.

Hello, old friend.

You will find this
most intriguing, sir.

What did you find, Data?

Last entry dated nine
years ago, sir-- by you.

"We are forced to abandon
our starship."

"May she find her way
without us."

Apparently she did, sir.

How do you feel, Captain?

Oh, I'm fine, Doctor.

Lieutenant Yar

run a structural analysis
on the Stargazer

for an impulse tow.

Data, download all computers

to the Enterprise and file.

I'm... I'm going to look
at my old cabin.

Try this, hero of Maxia.

Oh!

Captain.

Another headache?

This really worries me.

I want you back
on the Enterprise.

But my things.

I'll see they're sent

to your Enterprise quarters.

Enterprise now taking
possession of Stargazer, Kazago.

Permission granted, Riker.

Actually, it was
quite a bargain, Kazago.

I thought the Ferengi always
made a profit on things.

Set subwarp speed
for towing, La Forge.

Aye, sir.

Starfleet has responded
to our request, sir.

A tug will rendezvous with us
and tow the Stargazer

back to Xendi Starbase Nine.

Very well, Data.

How was it, Captain?

Very strange, Number One.

Like going back to the house
you grew up in

but no one's home

except phantoms of the past.

It has troubled you.

Not half as much as
this damned headache.

Take over, Number One.

Aye, sir.

What's wrong?

I wish I could say.

Shields weakening, Captain.

Torpedoes armed.

Where are they?

Oh, my God, sir!

Fire. Fire!

What is it, Data?

Why all the mystery?

The records
of the Stargazer, sir.

What the Ferengi call
the Battle of Maxia.

It seems the Captain's
personal log contains

a much different version
of that conflict

than the official
historic account.

What are you saying?

It would appear
that the starship

which Captain Picard
attacked had in fact

been under a flag of truce.

What?

And, apparently,
the Captain destroyed the ship

without notice or provocation.

Impossible! What about the fire
aboard the Stargazer?

An accident in engineering.

And what proof?

It's logged
in his own voice, sir.

Would you care
to hear it, sir?

Sir?

This is a confession
given by me, Jean-Luc Picard

commanding USS Stargazer.

What does this mean?

I don't know, sir.

It sounds like your voice.

It is, Number One.

But I refuse to believe
you ever said that.

I admit I must have mistaken

their subspace antenna
for a weapons cluster.

Unfortunately,
I fired our main phasers

and our direct hits destroyed
the unknown vessel.

I've assumed they've simulated
your voice somehow.

I've already put Data
to work on it.

Thank you, Will.

I never made
that log entry, of course.

But it still leaves you
with a duty to perform.

I know, sir.

I must report to Starfleet.

That's at least one full day

subspace communication
to reach there.

And one more full day
for their answer to return.

I'd like to have
the truth of this by then.

I'd hate to have to prepare
a formal defense.

I can't believe they'd ask
for your command.

Why wouldn't they?

With the Ferengi making
these friendship overtures

I could become a severe
embarrassment to Starfleet.

I'm certain the Ferengi
are behind the fake log.

No wonder they're
waiting out there.

Headache back, sir?

Damn.

I'll call the doctor again.

It's no wonder with
all this going on.

Try to relax.

This is a confession,
given by me, Jean-Luc Picard

commanding USS Stargazer

in the hopes
that my belated honesty

will be taken into account
by Starfleet

when judging my actions
during a confrontation

with an unidentified vessel.

Open hailing frequencies,
Geordi.

Open, sir.

I'll take it in the red room.

Secure channel, La Forge.

Secure, sir.

Starship Ferengi, this
is Commander Riker here.

I'd like to speak
to First Officer Kazago.

A problem, Riker?

Are channels secure on your end?

It is now.

Are you aware of the details
of the Battle of Maxia?

Captain Bok has just made me
aware of it, Riker.

The infamy of your Picard
is now fully known.

"lnfamy"?

I would call
the wanton destruction

of an unarmed vessel "infamy."

And if I produced evidence
that Captain Picard's log entry

was falsified
to indicate that...

I can hardly imagine
you contacted me

to discuss an ancient battle.

What do you want of me?

Just one question:

As you humans say,
"I'm all ears."

First officer to first officer,
Kazago...

if your Captain Bok knew
about this

then why this peaceful meeting

to present us
with the Stargazer?

We freely give you back
your derelict warship

and now you accuse us of crime,
Riker?

I can bear no more insults.

Yes. Who the hell is it?

You're not resting, Captain.

More like dying, Doctor.

Over here.

What is wrong with me?

I wish to hell
I knew, Captain.

But something unusual

has definitely been
happening to you.

You doctors always say
the obvious

as though it's a revelation.

Why do captains always act
like they're immortal?

No.

You didn't tell me
it had been this bad.

It wasn't this bad,
but it's getting worse.

This should
help a little.

It's got to be some kind
of emotional pressure

connected with the Stargazer.

I got this headache
long before I even knew

my old ship still existed.

Still, perhaps
you're partly right.

Want to talk about it?

I'm here.

The fight, Maxia,
I destroyed an entire vessel.

Entire crew...

Did you have a choice?

I don't know anymore.

I just don't know.

Commander Riker has told me
about the altered log

if that's what's troubling you.

The last three nights, I've...

I've heard these voices...

I'm on the bridge
of my old ship.

There's fire all around me.

The Klaxons, smoke...

and then I give the order.

And now the Stargazer
is really here.

And that that log...

now am I going crazy?

How do I know I was
in my right mind at Maxia?

How do I know
I'm in my right mind now?

What was that?

Something to
let you sleep.

Yeah, sleep.

Sleep.

Shields weakening, Captain.

Torpedoes armed.

Where are they?!

And now, my dear Captain

you are ready to live the past.

Where'd they come from?

Measures, sir?

Sir?

Sir?!

What should we do, sir?

Should we fire back?

Fire, Captain?

Fire!

You will injure yourself

as you once injured me.

Sir!!

Damage report.

Fusion generator under
surge control, sir.

Power systems failing.

Set the green bearing
on hostile ship.

Seven, mark 18, sir.

Phasers, sir?

Sir?

Ready phasers and lock.

Stand by at warp nine.

Heading...

7 -7, mark 20.

Engage.

Steady.

Now! Reverse and stop!

Phasers fire! Torpedoes away.

Fire.

Fire.

By comparing the Stargazer's
main computer log

with Captain Picard's
personal log

I found checksum
discrepancies, sir.

What does that mean?

All information is
time-coded by entry

and the bits when totaled

produce an aggregate
amount which...

I don't want a computer
science lesson, Data.

Bottom line?

One of these two logs
is a forgery, sir.

Correction.

The log just found aboard
the Stargazer is a forgery.

As I said.

That is one of them,
is it not?

Captain!

You are looking better, sir.

A little sleep, thanks to
the good doctor, works wonders.

What report on the logs?

Yes, sir.

Whoever tampered with
your personal log was clever.

But a bit clumsy.

It's definitely
a fabrication, sir.

Number One...

I'd like you to take a look
at this brain scan gra...

What are you doing here?

I thought I was captain
of this starship.

Of course you are, but l...

Thank you for the
confirmation, Doctor.

But now, except for Riker

I would like you all
to return to your stations.

Is that clear?

Sir.

You, too, Doctor.

I have business
with the Commander.

Under protest, sir.

You have orders for me, sir?

Release the Stargazer from
the tractor beam, Number One.

Sir?

The tractor beam.

Sir, are you abandoning her?

No. But her inertia will carry
the Stargazer along with us.

Or did you sleep
through the Academy lecture

on the conservation
of tractor beam power?

No, sir.

I'll release her, of course.

Obviously, there's some sort of
thought-process disorder here

but I can't find
a physical reason for it.

Anything?

I'm puzzled, too.

I keep sensing random thoughts,
but two sets of them--

as if they were his
but intermixed

with other thoughts
which are also his.

I'm busy at the moment, Wesley.

I know, Mom,
but this is important.

When I went back to
the main sensors in Engineering

to try some more
sensitivity experiments...

Does this have something
to do with Captain Picard?

Yes, ma'am.

If this is what you're
talking about here.

I don't know much
about brain scans

but I glanced at these
when you were studying them

and I noticed
that these patterns

are the same as those picked up

from the low-intensity
transmissions

from the Ferengi ship.

I went back and checked

and they're exactly the same.

What kind of transmissions?

I don't know.

Engineering has nothing
like it on record.

Let's get to
the Captain.

No. They might be
affecting the Captain.

To Riker.

You're welcome, ladies.

Adults.

The Captain, Commander?

Resting in his quarters

after ordering both of you
to return to your duty stations.

There have been some...

Did he say low-intensity?

Mmm.

Some unusual low-intensity
transmissions

from the Ferengi vessel.

Did who say?

My son.

Transmissions which exactly
match certain anomalies

found in the Captain's
brain scans.

Something over there

is affecting the Captain's
thought patterns.

Computer, give me a location
on Captain Picard.

Captain Picard is
in Transporter Room 3.

What?

Computer, emergency order
to Transporter Room 3.

New information.

Captain Picard is no longer
aboard the Enterprise.

Welcome back, Captain.

What is happening?

Shields up, computer.

What are you doing?

Collecting on an old debt.

Stargazer! Captain, respond!

Shields up, sir.

No way to beam over any help.

Commander, I'm reading
something very strange here.

Low-intensity beam
of intermittent pulse

inside this starship.

I have a fix on it, sir.

Inside Captain Picard's
quarters.

You transferred some of his
belongings from the Stargazer?

Yes.

Including a fairly heavy chest.

Go take a look, fast.

Commander...

the Stargazer
is now powering up, sir.

I have been waiting a long
nine years for this, Picard.

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

Do you not, human?

Can you not remember

the crime you committed
against my very blood?

You murdered my only son!

Your son?

He was commander of the ship
you destroyed

on his first voyage as Daimon.

The ship... the Ferengi
vessel that attacked me.

Or is it about to attack me?

And I have spent these years

searching, seeking,
a proper blood revenge.

And I found it!

I am rich, Picard.

Yet two of these
cost me the profits

of an entire life.

You are back in command
of the Stargazer, Picard.

These computers will
answer your orders.

Die well, Captain!

First Officer's Log:

Captain Picard has beamed
himself to the Stargazer

which is now moving away
from us under its own power.

Enterprise to Stargazer:

Please respond.

Enterprise to Captain Picard
aboard Stargazer:

Please answer.

Mr. Data, what was
Stargazer's condition?

Considerable fire damage

to interior surfaces
reported, sir.

But none of their main systems
are crippled.

Armaments, Lieutenant Yar.

Six photon torpedoes short, sir.

Probably used when the Captain

destroyed his Ferengi attackers
nine years ago.

Otherwise, fully armed.

What do you make of it,
La Forge?

Seems to be a network
of miniature circuitry, sir.

Incredibly complex.

Maybe... maybe an amplifier.

Where was it in the Captain's
quarters, Mr. Worf?

His chest
from the Stargazer, sir?

Just where I had left it.

He hadn't yet unpacked.

So he may not have even known

it was there,
and if this can pick up

or magnify thought-altering
transmissions...

It could have prepared him
for whatever is happening now.

Let's find out... or try to.

Contact the Ferengi vessel,
Lieutenant.

Hailing frequencies open, sir.

Enterprise to Ferengi vessel.

We transmit visually.

Do you respond?

Why is our gift to you
under power, human?

I will discuss that
with your Captain.

He is working in our
ship's laboratory.

Where is your Captain?

He's beamed himself
aboard the Stargazer...

and I'm wondering if this
has something to do with it.

How do you have
possession of that?

It was found
in our Captain's chest

which was brought over
from the Stargazer.

It is a forbidden device,
a thought maker.

If your Captain is
criminal enough to own one...

Kazago...

you know who controls
those spheres.

Now, I ask you again...

first officer
to first officer...

what's going on?

It is not seemly to question
one's own Daimon, Riker.

I am not prepared to do that.

Sir, I have the Stargazer.

Switch. Now.

Enterprise to Picard.

Do not attack again!

We are on a peaceful mission!

Give your identity!

You force us
to defend ourselves!

Phasers full up.

Arm torpedoes.

Wind up the shield
at full power.

We've lost him, sir.

When he put up the shields, sir.

Damn! I said get the fusion
generators under surge control.

You're moving much too slowly.

Arm the torpedoes, man!

Vigo, get a fire control party
up here!

Shields weakening, Captain.

Fusion generator on-line.

Weapons report.

Phasers coming
to full charge, sir.

Torpedoes armed.

Who are they?

Identify them.

They're turning
for a third pass at us, sir.

We can't take
another hit, Captain.

Sir?

I now feel anger
from our Captain--

fury over whatever it is
he is reliving out there.

The Battle of Maxia, sir.

That's what it is.

The Picard Maneuver.

What is the defense
against that, Data?

There is no defense, sir.

Then devise one, fast.

First officer Kazago
to human Riker.

Not now, Kazago.

We do not wish
to become involved

in what has become
clearly a Federation matter.

Fine. Fine. Enterprise out.

You should also know that

Daimon Bok no longer
commands this vessel.

His first officer
has confined him

for engaging in this
unprofitable adventure.

Good luck, First Officer Riker.

I have computed
a possibility, Commander.

Since even deep space
contains trace gases

a vessel in the Picard Maneuver
might seem to disappear

but our sensors could locate

any sudden compression
of those gases.

And use it as an aiming point
and blow our Captain to bits?!

This class starship
has enough power

to use our tractor beam
on it, sir

seize it,
limit its field of fire.

Right.

Concentrate shields
at that point.

Make it so.

I hope you're right, Data.

No question of it, sir.

Stand by.

Lock on tractor beam.

Ready phasers.

Captain Picard, listen to me.

Vigo, is that you?

It's Commander Riker, sir.

Captain... hear me.

Look around.

The Ferengi are using
their thought devices on you.

Stand by.

Who is this?

It's Riker, sir.

Your Number One.

Look for a silver sphere.

Destroy it with your phaser.

Phaser.

Sphere.

Bok used it.

Destroy it!

Phaser...

destroy the sphere.

Destroy the sphere.

Are you all right, Captain?

Captain...

Captain, are you all right?

Captain, are you all right?!

Where am l, Number One?

Aboard the Stargazer, sir.

The sphere you destroyed--

it's been controlling
your thoughts.

Where is Bok?

Removed from command, sir

and placed under guard for his

In revenge, there never is.

Let the dead rest...

and the past...

remain the past...

Enterprise, lock on.

Beam me home, Riker.
