All language subtitles for Star Trek Enterprise S02E016

- Archer: Bio-signs?
- None that I can detect.

But its hull seems to be scattering
our sensors.

Any idea what happened?

I'm not reading
any weapon signatures.

Possibly some sort of accident.

Archer:
Bring it into launch bay 2.

There's no windows.

I'm not sure whether this end's
the bow or the stern.

T'pol: Captain.

This might be a hatch.

If it is, it's been fused shut.

With your permission, sir?

He's human.

Phlox: This was a human male.

A microcellular scan should tell us
his age at the time of death.

Apparently,
you're not the first humans out this far.

Whoever this is,
he's rewritten our history books.

Can you get a DNA sample?

The tissue damage is extensive,

but I should be able to isolate
a few fragments.

If he's a member of starfleet,
his genetic profile

is probably in our database.

Run a comparison
as soon as you can.

Absolutely.

There aren't any ships or inhabited
systems for several light years.

Archer: I wonder

if this could be Zefram Cochrane.

They say he was piloting a one-man
vessel when he disappeared.

How could he have traveled this far?

There were a lot of rumors
after he was lost.

One of them said he was testing
some kind of experimental warp ship.

Any markings on the hull
or control panels?

We haven't found any.

The hull seems to absorb
em radiation.

Without all this damage,

it never would've shown up
on our sensors.

Some kind of stealth ship.

So, what do you think, Travis?

Could this pilot
have been a cargo hauler?

We're more than 30 light years
from the nearest trade route.

I don't see how he could have
made it out this far.

Maybe he got a ride from someone.

That's got to be a world record
for hitchhiking.

I still can't find
any plasma exhaust ports.

Not even a thruster quad.

There's nothing here
that looks like a power source.

How did this make it into deep space
without an engine?

Reed: Could be an escape pod.

Even an escape pod would need
some kind of propulsion system.

Any new mission
you haven't told us about?

Forrest: I wish there was.

It's possible the ship you found
was launched from vega colony,

but they're a long way
behind you now.

The earth cargo authority
may have more information.

Phlox has sent a request
to Dr. Cochrane's family.

They're transmitting
his genetic profile.

A hundred light years from earth,

you might have solved the greatest
missing-person case of the century.

If we haven't,

we've discovered
an even bigger mystery.

Commander.

Registers as some kind of bio-matter.

Organic circuitry?

Maybe we should get phlox
to come down and take a look.

What's this?

- Malcolm?
- I see it.

Trip:
Good. Means I'm not hallucinating.

How could a ship be bigger
on the inside than the outside?

Could be a hologram.

Hand me that hyperspanner.

You're not going down there?

Gotta get my spanner back.

We should call the bridge first.
Let them know...

Say again, Malcolm?

This gives space exploration
a whole new meaning.

I've read a few papers
on spatial geometry.

But I never heard a theory
that would explain this.

The captain will never believe us.

He's gonna have to see this
for himself.

What do you think?

A warp reactor?

You're the engineer.

Looks like a breach,

overload of some kind.

I'm picking up an energy signature.

It's very faint.

Sir, a vessel's dropped out of warp.

They're on an intercept course.

It's suliban.

Let's see it.

Minimal weapons.
I don't believe it's a combat ship.

We're being hailed.

You have something
that belongs to us.

I don't believe
I've had the pleasure...

We have a salvage claim
on the vessel in your launch bay.

One of our cell ships discovered it
three days ago.

We were sent to retrieve it.

That ship's an earth vessel.

The pilot's human.

I'm not interested in the corpse.

Decompress your launch bay
and release the vessel.

I'm curious...

What's your interest in that ship?

There's not much left.

The vessel. Now.

They're charging weapons.

Archer: You might wanna contact
your superiors,

ask for a man named silik.

He'll tell you I don't respond well
to threats.

This could be a release pin.

Let's get it to engineering.

Fonivard plating is holding.

Bring us about, Travis.

Power the phase cannons.

See what you can do
about their weapons.

Tucker to the bridge.

The com's down.

Commander.

Someone's trying to open
launch bay 2.

Lock them out.

I can't.

Archer to trip.

Send a security team down there.
Return fire.

Their weapons have been disabled.

Target their engines,

- and bring the grappler online.
- Sir?

They wanted that ship pretty badly.
I'd like to know why.

They're moving off.

Stay with them.

I've lost them, sir.

Archer:
Captain's starlog, supplemental.

We've contacted the vulcan ship
tal'kir.

They've agreed to meet us
in three days

to take the craft back to earth.

Hopefully, we won't have another visit
from the suliban

before we reach
the rendezvous point.

It was heavily shielded.

Whatever this thing is,
it must be pretty important.

Archer: What's your guess?

Might be the black box.

It could tell us what happened,
maybe even who built the vessel.

Trip:
That's assuming we can get it working.

It seems to use the same
organic circuitry as the rest of the ship.

I gotta take you down
into that chamber.

- You're not gonna believe your eyes.
- Bigger on the inside?

Phlox:
Sickbay to captain Archer.

Archer.

Phlox:
I need to see you immediately.

I managed to find only a few
undamaged cells.

But they were enough
to complete a genetic analysis.

Archer:
Any match in the starfleet database?

But I did discover
that our guest is no ordinary human.

I found an unusual deviation
in this nucleotide sequence.

At first, I thought I was looking
at some kind of mutation.

But there was something familiar
about the chromosome structure.

So I widened my search
to include the interspecies database.

This nucleotide sequence is vulcan.

How did a human
end up with vulcan DNA?

The likeliest explanation is that
he had at least one vulcan ancestor,

further back
than a great-grandparent.

That's not possible.

We haven't known the vulcans
long enough.

I also found genetic material
belonging to several other species.

This sequence is terrellian.

There's another I can't identify.

I believe this individual
is the result of several generations

of interspecies breeding.

Thank you, doctor.

A database from the future?

Our time-traveling friend Daniels
left it in his quarters.

I'm not certain Daniels
would approve of this.

We'll keep it to ourselves.

A vulcan cruiser.

I don't recognize the configuration.

That's because
it hasn't been built yet.

Few vulcans have ever chosen
to mate with another species.

Worried about contaminating
your genome

with a little human DNA?

There are significant biological
differences between the species.

It's unlikely we could reproduce.

Humans and vulcans.

The dorsal section
is the wrong shape.

If a human and a vulcan
did have a child,

I wonder if he'd have pointed ears.

I think that's it.

Look at the commission date.

That's almost 900 years from now.

Daniels talked about historians
from the future,

people who traveled back
to study the past.

That could be
what this pilot was doing.

This says it's powered
by a temporal displacement drive.

If the suliban get their hands
on this,

they'll take it apart,

maybe learn how the engine works.

That could change the course
of the temporal cold war.

Assuming the vessel
is from the future,

why haven't they retrieved it?

Archer.

Mayweather:
Another alien vessel's approaching

at high warp.

Mayweather:
No, sir. We can't identify them.

Twenty thousand kilometers
and closing.

T'poi?

The vessel's tholian.

They're extremely xenophobic.

The high command's
had limited contact with them.

Captain, it's unusual for tholians
to travel this far from their system.

I'm getting unusual
thermal readings.

It's awfully warm inside that ship,
more than 200 degrees.

They're believed to be
a nonhumanoid species.

Open a channel.

This is captain Archer
of the starship...

Tholian: Jonathan Archer,

Please establish communication.

Is there something
we can do for you?

Tholian:
We were sent to retrieve the vessel.

I'd like to know
how you heard about that ship.

Tholian: It is dangerous to you.

Temporal radiation.

Thanks for the warning.

But we can't give it to you.

They've locked on to us
with a tractor beam.

We're losing speed.

Hull plating. Arm the aft torpedoes.

That beam's interfering
with our targeting scanners.

Release us.

Or I'll destroy the ship
in our launch bay.

Do you hear me?

What did he say?

I don't know.

But I don't think
he was paying you a compliment.

I wonder if there's anyone else

who thinks they have a claim
on that ship.

May I join you?

Please.

I found another nucleotide sequence
in the pilot's genome.

It appears to be rigelian. Ha, ha.

That corpse is full of surprises.

Mm, mm.

I didn't realize how late it was
until my stomach reminded me

it was time to eat, ha, ha.

Ah, you seem to be engrossed
in your work, as well.

The captain asked me
to perform a metallurgical analysis

of the vessel's hull.

Anything noteworthy?

I've discovered
several unusual alloys.

One of them
is in a semifluidic state.

Hmm. More mysteries.

To say the least.

I understand
captain Archer believes

that the vessel traveled here
from the future.

That's his theory.

Genetic anomalies,
unexplainable alloys.

The evidence seems to be mounting.

Perhaps.

Ah. The vulcan science directorate.

They've always been rather reluctant
to embrace unorthodox ideas.

After they review our findings,

I have a feeling they might reconsider
their opinion of time travel.

It's not an opinion.

It's simple logic.

There was a time
when denobulans believed

they were the only intelligent species
in the galaxy. Hmm.

Needless to say, it was quite a surprise
when the b'saari made first contact.

Many refused to accept the truth,

even with the evidence
standing right in front of them.

It took some time and it wasn't easy,

but eventually, we were forced
to reevaluate our beliefs.

Are you saying
you believe time travel is possible?

Surprises, sub-commander.

I believe in embracing surprises.

I prefer to embrace logic.

If you'll excuse me, doctor.

Good night.

Trip: All right,
let's start reinitializing the power grid.

Reed:
Assuming that is the power grid.

It boggles the mind
if you think about it.

What does?

That ship could be
from the 31st century.

When I was young, I always wanted
to build a time machine,

see the future.

You're the kind of person
who jumps to the end of the book

before you read it.

Don't tell me you've never wondered
what it'd be like,

how our mission will turn out.

Well, wondering about the future
and knowing it are two different things.

Reed: If Daniels came here

and offered you a chance
to go to the 31st century,

you wouldn't take it?

Some things are better left
a mystery.

And you call yourself an explorer.

Where is the fun in exploring
if you know how it all turns out?

Hand me that micro-caliper.

Suppose you could look
into some future book,

find out the name of the woman
you're gonna marry.

- Would you wanna know it?
- — absolutely.

Think of all the awkward first dates
I could avoid.

Fine.
So one day you meet Jane Doe.

You go out a few times,
then you pop the question.

She says, "I do," and the two of you
live happily ever after.

Sounds perfect.

Now, did you marry her for love

or because some book told you to?

If we're "happily ever after,"
what difference does it make?

Trip: Well, we've got power.

Now we've gotta figure out
how to tap into these organic circuits.

They're similar to the ones
in the cockpit.

Hmm. We might be able
to salvage some of them,

build an interface.

Now, if I had a chance to see the past,
I'd jump at it.

I always wanted to meet
a stegosaurus.

He'd probably make
a quick meal of you.

The stegosaurus was an herbivore.

If I could travel back in time,
I know exactly what year I'd pick:

What happened in 1588?

England defeated
the Spanish armada.

Trip: I'm sure someone named Reed
had a lot to do with that.

If I had a chance to see the past,
I'd jump at it.

I always wanted to meet
a stegosaurus.

He'd probably make
a quick meal of you.

The stegosaurus was an herbivore.

It seems like we were just in here.

If I could travel back,
I know exactly what year I'd pick.

- Fifteen eighty-eight?
- Fifteen eighty-eight.

How did I know
you were gonna say that?

I think we're spending
too much time together.

Now, if I had a chance
to see the past, I'd jump at it.

"I always wanted
to meet a stegosaurus."

"He'd probably make
a quick meal of you."

"The stegosaurus was a herbivore."

Trip: It was the weirdest thing.
When we were next to the ship,

it felt like we were having the same
conversation over and over again.

Hmm. I can't find anything wrong
with either of you.

We didn't imagine what happened.

Captain, the craft is emitting
some type of high-energy particles.

This may be the temporal radiation
the tholians warned us about.

We spent a fair amount of time
around that ship.

The particle density's quite low.

It's unlikely to have
any lasting effects.

How do you explain what happened?

The radiation could have affected
your perception of time.

Or maybe they really were
reliving the same moment.

Seal off launch bay 2, and evacuate
the surrounding sections.

I don't wanna take any chances.

How are you coming
with the black box?

The power's online,
but we still can't access the data.

Let me know as soon
as you find anything. Dismissed.

Can I speak with you?

The radiation could spread
to other sections,

affect more systems.

We'll keep an eye on it.

The vulcans are only
a few hours away.

I'm not certain we'll survive that long.

We've attracted the attention
of two hostile species.

It's logical to assume
they're searching for us.

I'm pretty sure
we can steer clear of them.

Perhaps you should
destroy the vessel.

I'm not gonna do that.

I'm tired of these factions
interfering with our century.

It's time we took
a more active interest in this war,

gathered some intelligence
ourselves.

Assuming, for the moment,
the temporal cold war exists,

I believe we shouldn't get involved.

Like it or not, we've been involved
since we left space dock.

Daniels hinted

that there were other factions
in this conflict.

Maybe the tholians
are working for one of them.

Your curiosity is placing enterprise
in unnecessary danger.

This is the first chance we've had
to get some answers.

I'm not gonna pass it up.

The vulcans can get that ship
back to earth in a few weeks.

- Starfleet will take it from there.
- Captain...

I told you.

I've made my decision.

If the suliban return,
they may be cloaked.

I recommend we go to tactical alert?

- What do you have?
- It's what we don't have.

This isn't a black box.

Thought it was a data-storage matrix.
After we got the power running,

it started generating
a subspace signature.

I think it's a micro-transmitter,
some kind of emergency beacon.

T'pol: Bridge to captain Archer.

Several suliban vessels
are approaching.

Archer: On my way.
T'pol: Acknowledged.

The ships will be within weapons range
in 20 seconds.

Go to maximum warp.

They're matching our speed.

- How long to the rendezvous point?
- Less than three minutes.

Contact the tal'kir.

Let them know
we're bringing company.

No response.

We're being hailed, by the suliban.

I see you've brought some friends.

Drop out of warp
and prepare to be boarded.

Or what? You're not gonna risk
any more damage to that ship.

They're charging weapons.

Take a look
at your long-range sensors.

There's a vulcan combat cruiser
a few million kilometers from here.

Unless you want to upset them,
I suggest you turn around.

The vulcans won't risk their ship
for an earth vessel.

Aft Cannon. Return fire.

We're losing ventral plating.

- The vulcans?
- Six hundred thousand kilometers.

Direct hit to the launch bay doors.

They're trying to blast them open.

Hold your course and speed.

Two hundred thousand kilometers.

Take us out of warp.

- Bio-signs?
- The crew's alive.

The vessel is disabled.

Their com system's down.

Mayweather: Captain.

Take us back to warp.

Engines are down.

- Archer: Weapons?
- They're off-line too.

The hull plating is depolarizing.

The cell ships have dropped
out of warp.

I never thought I'd be glad
to see the suliban.

Trip, we could use warp engines
right about now.

The antimatter injectors are fused.
I'll need a few hours to replace them.

Archer: How about weapons?

Every power relay on the ship's
been scrambled.

Archer: Then forget everything else.
Get that beacon working.

- Sir?
- Whoever built that ship

might be able to send help.

Aye, captain.

Even if you're correct,
it's unlikely help will arrive in time.

Archer: How long would it take to
remove one of the torpedo warheads,

arm it manually?

Four minutes,
less if I had some help.

I recommend moving the warhead
as little as possible once we remove it.

Archer:
We'll bring the torpedo to launch bay.

Work on it there.
You have the bridge.

I'm gonna hold you
to that four minutes.

- It was only an estimate, sir.
- They don't make this easy, do they?

I'm going to release the couplings.

You'll need to disconnect
the power conduits.

The blue and red ones first.

Turn the release counterclockwise
until you feel it detach.

- Commander?
- I need that power module.

Crewman: Yes, sir.

All right, hand me a micro-caliper.

Bridge to captain Archer.

Go ahead.

T'pol: The suliban
have lost more than half of their ships.

You don't have much time.

We're working as fast as we can.
Stand by.

Sir, if you'll hold it
by the locking brace...

I'm gonna hold you
to that four minutes.

It was only an estimate, sir.

It's happening again.

We've had this conversation before.

You're right.

- How far did we get last time?
- I'm not certain.

I think we may have
removed the warhead.

If time's not repeating
outside the launch bay,

the tholians could be close.

We'd better hurry.
The red and blue conduits, right?

The cell ships.

They've been destroyed.

How many?

All of them.

The tholians
are on an intercept course.

They're hailing us.

Tholian: Give us the vessel.

We're prepared to surrender it to you.

But our launch bay doors
took heavy damage.

We're going to need more time.

I have a repair team working on it,
but they estimate it will take...

Two of their ships are approaching
the saucer section.

Eighty meters, forty...

They've locked on
to both docking ports.

Seal the hatches
and send security teams.

Get to the control room.

- I'll take it from here.
- Aye, captain.

I'm gonna you to that four minutes.

It was only an estimate, sir.

How many times
do you think we've done this?

At least twice, maybe more.

Let's hope we've got it down by now.

They're cutting through the doors.

Control room.

Let's get those doors open.

- Now.
- I'd recommend putting more distance

- between us and that ship...
- Now.

T'pol to captain Archer.

They've neutralized the warhead.

On our way.

Sir, it's gone.

It dematerialized,
and it's not aboard the tholian ships.

They're disengaging.

- Why didn't they fire on us?
- Good question.

They may have only wanted
the vessel.

The vulcans?

Their warp drive is damaged.

But life support is stable.

Let's see if we can give them
a hand.

Prep a shuttlepod.

Have doctor phlox meet us
in launch bay 1.

Hoshi: Aye, sir.

Archer:
Captain's starlog, supplemental.

A vulcan transport
is en route to tow the tal'kir.

Fortunately,
there were no casualties.

Our long-range scanners
show no sign

of tholians or suliban in our vicinity.

I wish we'd had more time
to explore that ship.

Who knows how many other rooms
were down there?

Looks like they sent the whole
kit and caboodle

back to the 31st century.

There's no evidence to support that.

Well, there's no evidence
to contradict it, either.

What I don't understand is

how quickly everything disappeared.

That beacon was online
for less than a minute.

You're forgetting that time is irrelevant
to these people.

Irrelevant?

If that vessel was from the future,

whoever sent it had plenty of time
to locate the signal

and then travel back
to any point in time to retrieve it.

Well, unfortunately,
time isn't irrelevant in my engine room.

- Hmm.
- I've got repairs to finish.

See you later. Archer: Mm-hm.

Sub-commander.

I'm going to contact
the high command,

apologize for all the trouble
we caused them.

As the captain of the tal'kir
pointed out,

a ship can be replaced.

I also need to thank them
for helping us out.

I'm sure the gesture
would be appreciated.

The high command has asked me
to prepare a report on this incident,

with your permission.

By all means.

I wonder

if they'll believe
that humans and vulcans will be

swapping chromosomes one day.

They're more likely
to believe in time travel.
