Bridge to Captain Kirk.

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

Yes, Lieutenant.

We've received a distress signal from an
unidentified vessel.

Mr. Spock has requested your presence on
the bridge.

I'll be right there.

We'll continue this later.

Laura, anything new?

Not yet, sir.

Signal's automated.

No live contact's been made.

Hello? The ship is coming into range
now, Captain.

The vessel's tolerating design.

Looks like a big -off -class private
transport.

Australia? New Zealand, sir.

Instant Tangaroa.

I just transferred from the Hood.

Spent some time studying ship designs of
different cultures. Very good.

There should be a crew.

Typically three or four.

Six magnets.

Scanning now, Captain.

I'm reading a single humanoid life form.

Vital signs are erratic. Life support
systems are failing.

You should... Uhura, have the sickbay
standing by.

Aye, sir. It may not be prudent to beam
aboard an unknown life form, Captain.

But you said vital signs were erratic.

Yes, sir, I did.

And life support systems failing?

Yes, sir.

Uhura, send security to the transporter
room.

Transporter room.

Go ahead, sir. Stand by to receive
coordinates from Mr. Spock and beam the

lights from aboard.

Mr. Spock, would you care to join me?

Mr. Scott, you have the bridge.

That was strange.

Jinx, Captain? Jinx.

It's something people used to shout when
they said the same thing at the same

time. Indeed.

The life form could not be confirmed as
a Tellarite, but knowing the volatile

nature of that species... I would
recommend caution.

Jinx, see? You've got it already.

Kruman.

Security alert. We have an intruder
aboard.

Seal off deck four, section 12A through
F.

Faith. 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 man has gone
before.

Captain's log, Stardate 6154 .1. Due to
a serious breach in transporter room

protocol, the Enterprise has acquired an
unexpected stowaway. We won't harm you.

We're your friends.

You're on the Federation Starship
Enterprise. I'm Captain Kirk.

It's all right. It's all right.

He's our chief of security, Drake. He
won't harm you either.

Give me the knife.

It's always best not to stab your
friends.

Well, that could have gone smoother.

Weaponry often complicates negotiations.

What was an Orion slave girl doing on a
Tellarite ship?

Bones, did she give you any trouble?

She was confused when she came to, but
she settled down during our tests.

The bruising and contusions indicate she
has been in a scrap.

I also detected traces of blood that are
not hers.

Not that I can get a word out of her to
confirm any of that.

Captain, further scans of the transport
reveal the bodies of three Tellarites.

The answers we're looking for are over
there.

Agreed. You and Mrs. Bog beam over and
see what you can find out. Also, the

Orion girl has been tattooed with an
index symbol.

We were able to use the symbol to obtain
a partial trace, and...

She was sold four days ago to a
Tellarite merchant by the name Sev -Bim

The ship set out with four passengers.

She was purchased directly from one of
Orion's wealthiest traders.

Apparently someone wasn't too happy with
the transaction.

There is the only one still alive able
to confirm that.

Careful, Captain.

The power of the Orion pheromones...
Spockets.

All right.

What's your name?

We'd like to help you, but we need to
know your name and what happened.

You're losing your touch, Jim.

I know she can hear.

Maybe she can't understand us.

Maybe she can't speak.

Most likely discouraged from doing so.

Approximately 70 years ago, Orion women
held dominion over the men.

But in a revolt and after a civil war,
the men gained control.

Rather than abolish the slave trade,
they continued it and, in many ways,

it worse.

The women are bred with no education or
opportunity, in part to keep them

subservient and in part out of revenge.

First, the men are slaves to the women,
then the women slaves to the men.

Why does anyone have to be a slave to
anyone?

Gentlemen, Dr. McCoy requested my
presence.

I thought her expertise would be useful
in establishing communication with our

patients. Yes, of course.

Either she can't speak or won't speak.

Well, it's hard to believe she spent
years around slave traders without

up any language at all.

Lolani.

My name is Lolani.

Please don't be angry with me. I
apologize if I've harmed anyone. Not

you were friend or foe, I remained
silent and listened.

Logical. I was born and raised off
-world.

When my parents died suddenly, I was
returned back to Orion and forced into

slavery.

The things they did to me.

The things I was forced to do.

I'm so sorry.

Please don't send me back there. You
have no idea what it's like. Easy, easy,

Lulani. We'll do anything we can to help
you.

For now, you're safe and you're free.

Bones, if she's medically cleared, maybe
we could move her to guest quarters.

Are you sure, Captain?

It's fine.

It sounds like a wonderful idea.

This is Dr.

McKenna.

Doctor, if you would accompany her.

It would be my pleasure.

So according to Chief Drake's report,
you have an Orion girl on your ship and

three dead Tellarites aboard another.

That's correct.

The girl was the property of one of the
Tellarites at the time of their death.

She was wounded in some sort of assault.

If we can confirm that the Tellarites
were culpable, could she be granted some

sort of asylum?

The Orion system is not a member of the
Federation.

Their law clearly states that the girl
reverts back to the property of the one

who sold her.

We cannot participate in any act that
would be perceived as a challenge to

sovereignty. Yes, but for the time
being, she can... The girl's owner has

already been notified and is en route to
you. He will rendezvous with the

Enterprise in approximately 32 hours.

Captain, the Federation certainly does
not condone the slavery of any life

But we cannot risk an interstellar
incident over one girl.

Continue your investigation.

But I can make no promise.

I understand, Comrade.

Enterprise out.

Those are some pretty nasty bruises.

Are you sure you're okay for a walk?

You're kind to ask, but we Orions are
built quite sturdily.

Of that I have no doubt.

What a beautiful ship.

and men and women working alongside each
other equally.

Well, the Federation sees no difference
between the rights and abilities of men

and women.

But biologically and chemically we're
different.

One gender isn't stronger than the
other?

We're each individuals with our own
strengths and weaknesses, but we're not

defined by our gender.

That sounds like a dream.

One I've had many a night.

It's a good dream, Lolani.

One worth holding on to.

And this is the command bridge.

Usually, everyone is working.

Doctor, what brings you to the bridge?

I was just giving Lolani a small tour of
the ship, but I hadn't anticipated it

would be such a distraction.

Not at all. Just another day at the
office.

Feel free to have a look around.

Well, hello there. I'm Montgomery Scott,
chief engineer of this entire ship. I

make sure everything functions
correctly.

That sounds like a very important job.

Aye, it is.

Would you care to see my station,
Lassie?

Did you hear from Starfleet?

I did. And what did they say?

We're allowed to continue our
investigation, but as far as she's

hands appear to be tied.

So you're giving up?

I'm not giving up. Sounds like you're
giving up. I'm not giving up. There was

resignation in your voice, Captain. Sir,
we cannot simply return this girl to a

life of servitude and slavery. Dr.
McKenna, you're new to this ship, so

excuse you for not understanding, but
when I say I'll do everything I can,

do everything I can.

Do you always challenge each other in
this manner?

Uh...

No, not always.

Why do you ask?

Well, I read in some cultures that
challenging between males and females is

considered a mating ritual.

No.

Not in this culture. Yes. I mean, no. No
yes to the no. No.

Captain, Chief Drake is hailing from the
Tellarite ship.

Pipe it down to the briefing room. I'll
take it there. Aye, sir. Ladies, if

you'll excuse me. Of course, Captain.

Did I say something wrong?

Oh, no. You were simply making an
observation.

I observed something else as well.

You did?

Women in uniform command the respect of
their peers.

You can tell a lot about someone from
what they wear.

I've got something for you I think
you're really going to like.

What is it?

The mercenaries were engaged in a
firefight, which compromised both the

navigational... And life support
systems.

And what about the merchant, Sev...
Bin... Sev Bimjor.

Therein lies the mystery.

He did not die from a phaser, but from a
deep puncture wound to his throat.

From something like a dagger.

The mercenaries also had daggers, but
neither appears to have been used. There

are traces of Lolani's DNA under their
fingernails. I believe she was more

involved in this incident than she has
revealed.

All right.

See what other information you can
gather and return to the ship.

I'll see what I can gather from here.

Aye, Captain.

Come in.

How are you enjoying your quarters?

They're lovely.

I'm feeling very spoiled, Captain.

I'm glad.

I've brought you a book. You said on the
bridge that you read, I thought you

might enjoy it.

A gift?

Thank you. What's it about?

It's about a once great Earth
civilization that collapsed from within

own moral decay.

That sounds like something that could
happen on Orion.

Could happen in any culture, where
people forget the ideals that made them

great.

I also have some questions.

I'm sure.

Please. It's in my nature to be a good
hostess, and since you've given me such

beautiful room to host... It's the use
in fighting our nature.

We learned that the mercenaries were
killed at each other's hands.

That's not a question, Captain.

We also learned that the merchant was
killed by a knife wound to the throat.

Also not a question.

You are bad at this, Captain.

From a knife like the one you brought on
board.

You need to tell me what happened.

What happened?

They began touching me.

The one who bought me got angry and they
started fighting.

I hid in the corner and closed my eyes.

There was so much yelling and fighting.

And when the noise stopped, I opened my
eyes and they were all dead.

I'm glad you're all right, but that
story isn't consistent with the fact.

What does it matter what happened,
really?

If you were enslaved, wouldn't you be
grateful just to be free? I would, but

truth always matters.

The one who sold you is on his way here.

Zamenhund? Please, no.

He is a brutal man.

A brutal, vicious monster who abuses his
place. There still may be time. Please

don't send me back to him. I was bound,
and now I'm free.

I was numb, and now I can feel.

I was paralyzed, and now I can dance.

What a bad idea. This is the best idea.

A free man, a free woman.

We can go anywhere and do anything.

We are free to do whatever we want.

You'll protect me, won't you, Captain?

Please don't let him take me away.

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

Kirk here. What is it, Lieutenant?

Mr. Spock and Chief Jacob returned from
the Tellarite ship.

Have them meet me on the bridge.

Aye, sir.

That was wrong of me.

I know what you're trying to do, but
seducing me is not the answer. No,

That was wrong of me.

I'm sorry.

Some habits die hard.

You're right about one thing, Alani.

Everyone has the right to be free.

I wish it didn't matter what happened on
that ship, but... Unfortunately, it

does.

I'll do whatever I can to help you.

I promise.

You. Hello.

Are you lost? Do you need help with
anything?

This is where I'm going to have to leave
your ship forever.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault. I should be the one
apologizing to you.

I held a knife to your throat.

You remember me?

I cannot forget this face.

Or the man attached to it.

Does this man have a name?

Uh, uh, Kenway.

Matthew. Matthew.

A monster is coming to take me back to
Orion.

Please don't let him.

I... Please? I will go anywhere as long
as it's away from him.

I would feel much safer here with you.

I cannot deny the attraction I felt the
moment I saw you.

How can I help you?

What if we were to fly away together?

Just the two of us?

A more detailed forensic analysis of the
crime scene revealed that only one of

the Tellarites was killed by another.

The merchant Sevbim Jor and the second
mercenary were killed by a fourth

participant.

If certain, there is no evidence of any
recent docking or transport from another

ship.

It appears to be the only logical
explanation.

I know that Orion women can be very
persuasive, and we mustn't allow

to be deceived.

She is no longer an unfortunate slave,
Captain.

She could be a murderer.

Captain? The shuttlecraft bay doors have
been activated.

On whose authority?

None that I'm aware.

Could it be?

Seal the doors. Have security meet me at
the hangar deck. Mr. Drake?

I'll deal with you in a minute.

Some habits die hard.

I would do anything to keep him going
back to Orion.

This isn't his fault. He was only trying
to protect me to... Confine her to

quarters.

Post a guard there.

I'm revoking her free -roaming
privileges.

Yes, Captain.

Matthew, forgive me!

Lonnie! Stand down, crewman. Please,
you've got to let me help her.

Please, Captain, we can't let her be a
slave again to anyone!

Get a hold of yourself, mister!

I may have to tolerate the sovereignty
of alien worlds, but what I won't

tolerate is insubordination on my ship!

You're confined to quarters until your
next duty shift, and you're not to go

near that girl again, do you understand?
But, Captain... Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Chief, see that he gets there.

Captain, please.

Kirk to sickbay.

Sickbay? McCoy here, Captain.

Bones, is there anything that can
protect our crewmen against the effects

Orion pheromones?

Actually, there is. Ship -wide
inoculation can be ready at your

Why? What's up, Jim? Never mind.

Just start inoculating immediately.

Kirk out.

Where's Lolani?

Isn't it lovely?

Dr. McKenna gave it to me.

She said it's what ladies wear on other
exotic worlds.

I feel almost like a princess.

You look lovely.

Captain, I'm sorry for what I did.

Even though I'm desperate to remain
free, I shouldn't have manipulated your

crewmen. It won't happen again.

No, it won't.

Dr. McCoy has inoculated the crew
against the effects of your pheromones.

That really isn't necessary.

We think it was.

We've pieced together most of what
happened on the Tellarite ship, but

one important piece of information still
missing.

I told you everything I know. I told
them everything I remember. Captain,

not uncommon for someone who's been
traumatized to block out memories that

just too painful.

It's entirely possible she's simply not
conscious of everything that happened.

That's why Mr. Spock is here.

I don't understand.

If you'll permit me.

I will connect with your mind and reveal
any additional information.

It won't hurt you in any way.

I'll be here with you the whole time.

Please trust us, Lovani.

I trust you.

Our minds are coming together.

Closer.

I see what you see.

I feel what you feel.

They're looking at me.

They come towards me.

One touches me.

Then the other.

They're fighting.

There have been jaw protests, but they
overpower him.

One front of goal.

I reach for a gun.

I fire.

I fire.

There have been doors wounded.

Begging for help.

There's a knife in my hand?

What

will

you report that I'm a murderer?

Will you send me to some Federation
prison?

No.

You are not subject to our laws.

And besides, you are defending yourself
as anyone in your situation would do.

But you will send me back.

The bruises on my body are not from the
Tellarites.

Zamanon beats his slaves.

What is he going to do to me when I go
back there and the others like me? They

don't even know any better.

They think they deserve it.

We are not diplomats, Lolani.

We do not have the authority to... To do
what?

To make a difference in the unbearable
hell that is the slave trade on my

planet? Well, I could. I could be the
voice for women who have none.

Not if you send me back in chains.

Please, Captain.

How long before Zamanhan's ship arrives?

His course and speed puts him there at
any moment.

And then what?

We just hand her over as if she's
property?

Under Orion law, she is.

We do not have the right. Bach, you of
all people.

You saw what happened to her.

You felt it.

Isn't that bigger than some planet's
immoral law?

I confess I... was unprepared for the
anguish I experienced

during my mind meld with Lolani.

I empathize with her.

And there are many more like her.

And don't we empathize with all beings
who are forced into slavery?

But there are other things to consider.

Such as?

She's dangerous.

She brandished a knife at the captain.

She attempted to steal the shuttlecraft.

Dr. McCoy had to inoculate the entire
crew to protect against her. That's

But you can't condemn her for her body's
own natural physiology.

Especially if she's only using it to try
to gain her freedom.

And can you imagine what will happen to
her when she's returned?

Considering all that she's done just to
escape.

The Orions are not known for their
civility, gentlemen.

She could be beaten to death.

Starfleet isn't here.

If they were, perhaps they'd see things
differently.

But they'd still be bound by the same
laws that we are.

Captain, Orion vessel approaching with
one passenger on board. He's signaling

he's ready for transport.

Have the transport room stand by. We're
on our way.

Isn't there something we can do?

Dinner.

We'll treat him with all the proper
courtesy and serve him a civilized

won't soon forget.

All right, gentlemen, are we ready?

Well,

your gut may be right, Scotty. We'll
find out soon enough.

Treating someone with respect with whom
we philosophically disagree is an

intriguing strategy.

It will be interesting to see how he
responds should we not return his

Well, we may have no choice, Spock.

Locked on, sir.

Energize.

I'm Captain James Kirk.

Welcome aboard the Enterprise, Simon
Hunt. Captain Kirk.

It's an honor to board your fair ship.

It's an honor to have you, sir.

Oh, no, no, no, no. You're the captain.
I'm just but a small, simple

businessman. It's a shame I can't stay
longer.

I'm delighted to hear you say that.
We've prepared a dinner in anticipation

your arrival. We'd love to know more
about you and your people.

I've never been the one to turn down a
free meal, much less in the company of

the dear man.

This is my chief medical officer, Dr.
Leonard McCoy, my chief engineer,

Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott,
and my first officer, Commander Spock,

will escort you to dinner personally.

Welcome.

Very good.

Lead on, mister.

Spock. Spock.

Yes, of course.

I'll join you shortly.

Take as much time as you want, Captain.

Now that was unexpected.

He seems nice for a slave trader.

Kenway, you're supposed to be in your
quarters.

I've been cleared to return to duty. I
mean, besides, we've all been inoculated

anyway, so the Orion woman, she's not a
threat.

All right.

I'm to deliver a message regarding her
owner.

I can show you a copy of my orders if
you'd like.

That's not necessary.

I'll be right outside.

Matthew! I had to see you.

You did?

I was hoping to see you again as well.

I wish there was some way I could help
you.

Can you make me disappear?

Can you make Zamenhahn disappear?

When he takes me away, my dream of
ending the horror of Orion's slave trade

die.

And your captain is going to let that
happen? Captain Kirk is a good man.

But he can't disobey Starfleet orders.
He'd lose his command.

I read once, the only thing necessary
for evil to triumph is for good men to

nothing.

Can't you let that happen? How can
someone like me prevent it?

Someone like you? I hate what's
happening to you and those on your

what can I do about it?

What can I do? I'm nobody.

If I've learned anything, it's everyone.

It's someone.

That's the message that needs to reach
others like me.

I feel like I'm screaming and no one can
hear me.

I hear you.

I hear you.

Wait. What is

this delicious meat?

It is an earth vegetable. It is called
eggplant.

Wonderful. It tastes almost like a
winged slug.

Does it also scream when it boils?

No, it does not.

And what is this beverage?

It's an earth wine called Shiraz.

I can't take the alcohol.

I sure can.

So, I'm curious, Zamenhan. The females
of your species released a powerful

pheromone that I had to inoculate the
crew against. It's clear you did that,

Doctor. Are the males of your species
gifted with a similar biochemical

Being under the protection of females
for decades hindered us from developing

into their level of potency.

But yes, we do have a certain natural
scent.

That can attract the desire, mate.

Leilani says you're a brutal monster.

Captain,

she's a very troubled girl.

I don't expect you to know any more
about her history than she wishes you

I treat her well.

All my girls, they're all well cared
for.

Please forgive Mr. Scott for his lack of
sensitivity.

No poverty necessary.

I've got 218 slaves, more than any other
on Orion.

Beautiful guilds, beautiful. They
provide pleasure and passion throughout

galaxy. I admire that business practices
will be a source of interest to you.

I'm happy to be an ambassador for my
culture.

Don't hold back, just ask me any
question.

It's my understanding that the Orion
people have practiced slavery since the

discovery of fires.

Correct. Surely it wasn't a universally
accepted concept?

Perhaps it even caused a war or two in
your early tribal culture?

Possibly. The Orions never cared to
chronicle our history in great detail.

How do you ever expect to learn from it?
Easy, Doctor.

I mean, who are we to judge a system
that has worked for the Orions for

of years?

I've heard that your females are
actually quite comfortable and happy in

standing. That's right, Captain.

You know, after the Civil War, our women
had no purpose.

It's all upon the men to give them
direction.

They're like the animals without it. Now
that I can understand.

Take Dr. McKenna here.

She's obstinate when she doesn't get her
own way.

She certainly benefits from my guidance
as a man.

I'm wondering, how much would you pay
for her?

Excuse me? How much is she worth?

She could be your 219th.

I couldn't put a price on it. This
woman's educated, refined, civilized.

Slavery's not for her kind.

But she challenges me, Zamenhund. She
questions my authority on and on.

Talbot, don't be unreasonable.

She clearly learned and capable.

And what about Lolani?

She's as learned and capable as any
Starfleet officer.

Animals do not thirst for knowledge and
strive to better themselves.

She's consumed a wealth of learning as
you've consumed your food, Zamanhan.

She's not a slave.

She's a woman.

And even without the knowledge,
education, beauty, talent, she is still

with a fundamental right to be free.

Captain, you're a good one.

I like you.

But the hour's late, and we're not going
to change each other's minds over a

fine dinner.

With your permission, Captain, I'd like
to take my leave and return with my...

little nanny.

Fascinating. But not unexpected.

Captain.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

I was simply trying to illustrate a
point.

What did you hope to accomplish, sir?

Well, I hoped that if he saw Lolani the
way we do, perhaps he wouldn't take her

away. Well, it didn't appear to work.

Any other ideas?

Nothing.

I believe it may be time to say goodbye.

Thank you for caring for my dear girl.
You're free to go.

I'll take care of her.

I'm gonna have to check with the captain
first.

Generally, whatever pleases you, friend.

Well, well, well.

Look at you.

You have been eating out of your hand.

I'm a brutal monster.

How dare you humiliate me?

When I get you back, you're going to
regret the day you ever imagined

as anything but a face!

And then, this Earth's costume changes
the cover that it changed one

And you'll be punished.

Reveal to them the animal you really
are!

Go on! Go on! Come on!

You're lucky you're still alive,
Captain.

You had no right to interfere.

This is my property.

Civilized men do not treat people as
property.

But if that's all you understand...

How much do you want for her?

What? Leilani!

I wish to buy her from you. First you
condemn my trade, then you wish to

in it. I wish her free from you by any
means.

No.

Why? Because it pleases me to deny you!

I perceive you win too much, Captain.
You will not win this one. Whatever the

Tellarites paid you, I'll match it. I
will not sell her to you for all the

in the mines or none of her. Now,
Captain Kirk, you stand aside and beam

back to my ship. Or when I'm done with
you and your stuff, you'll be lucky to

come in and grab a skill.

I shouldn't have to tell you that what
you did was completely irresponsible.

It was... practically akin to striking a
political figure.

Zamenhan is a powerful man.

His actions prove that we are condemning
this girl to a life of physical and

mental torture.

And that is a matter for the diplomats,
Captain.

And what about the families of the slain
Tellarites?

Do they not deserve justice as well?

Commodore, the Tellarites were abusing
her.

She was fighting for her safety, her
freedom. The Federation will not commit

act of war over one slave.

Lolani. Captain, you will return
Samanhan and the slave girl, Lolani, to

ship immediately.

You have your orders.

Starfleet out.

Thank you for the fine dinner, Captain.

And, Mr. Pence?

To follow orders. May our paths never
cross again.

Likewise.

Energize.

Permission to leave my post, Captain.

Granted.

McCoy told me he inoculated the crew.

He did?

whatever I can to help you. I promise.
Please don't send me back there. You

no idea what it's like. She's a woman
with a fundamental right to be free. The

Federation will not commit an act of war
over one flame.

Her name is Lolani.

All hands, this is the captain.

I'm about to violate a direct order from
Starfleet Command.

I take full responsibility for this
action.

And my log will reflect that none of the
crew are complicit.

Any of you had the opportunity over the
last few days to meet the young Orion

draw that was aboard?

Her name is Lolani.

Susulu, three -quarter impulse speed.

Close the distance to Domino's ship.

Bring us within transporter room.

Transporter room. Stand by to beam
Lolania Bull.

We're in transporter range now, Captain.

Transporter room.

If you have found this recording, it
means I have failed.

I am dead.

I do not wish for my life to end this
way.

But I thought it was the only means left
to send a message to those who enslave

others. My death will mean nothing.

But perhaps Zamenhon's death will light
a fire in my people and their allies.

Those who witness inhumanity and do not
act.

The message of hope must go on.

It must reach Orion.

Thousands of young Orion girls are
longing, desperate to live free.

To dream.

To fly.

It is obvious I will not be the one to
carry that message, though I pray

will.

If we remain silent to the cruelties
that surround us, we will lose a part of

ourselves.

The part that feels.

That stands up for injustice.

The part that loves.

May this not be the end, but a
beginning.

Freedom.

Permission to take an extended leave,
Captain, to visit family.

Would this family happen to be anywhere
near the Orion system?

Yes, sir.

Yes, it would.

Granted.

Thank you, sir.

Kenway.

You may need this.
