Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 44769.2.

For some weeks, we have had
a klingon exo-biologist on board

as part of a scientific
exchange program.

Unfortunately, we suspect that
he was involved in a security breach,

and in the possible sabotage
of our warp drive.

What were you doing accessing
the propulsion system files

- on stardate 44758?
- I didn't.

Yes, you did, from computer
1289, deck 36.

The computer logged in your
identification from your communicator.

It must be a mistake.

J'ddan, we have confirmed reports

that schematic drawings
of our dilitlhium chamber

fell into romulan hands
one week later.

I know nothing about it.

I suppose you know nothing about the
explosion that disabled the warp drive

- at approximately the same time?
- No, I was not involved.

You accuse me
because I am klingon.

Our chief of security is klingon.

That has nothing to do with it.

Send me home, then,
if you are so distrusting.

We've already contacted
the klingon high council.

You'll be returned home
as soon as we finish our investigation.

I have nothing more to say.

Very well. Worf, accompany
the lieutenant to his quarters.

What do you think?

It's hard to tell.

He's very closed.

But he is hiding something.

On the klingon home world,
your name is not mentioned.

It is as though you never existed.

Terrible burden for a warrior to bear.

To become nothing.

To be without honor.

Without the chance for glory.

[Door opens]

I have friends.

Powerful friends
on the home world.

I can talk to them.

They might help
to restore your name.

If you could just take me
to a shuttlecraft.

It could be done without anyone
knowing about it.

[J'ddan groaning]

I don't know how you transferred
secret information to the romulans,

but I will find out.

[Speaks in klingon]

And when we inform
the klingon high council,

they will put you to a slow death.

Picard:
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.

Picard:
Captain's log, supplemental.

Retired admiral Norah satie,

whose investigation exposed the alien
conspiracy against starfieet command

three years ago, is arriving
to assist in our inquiry.

Captain picard.

Picard: Admiral satie,
welcome aboard the enterprise.

Delighted to be here.

I managed to acquire
my former staff.

My aide, sabin genestra,
from betazed,

and my assistant,
nellen tore from delb two.

This is my first officer,
commander William riker.

May I show you to your quarters?

Captain, if starfleet command
was so concerned with your report,

they brought me out of retirement,
I think I should get right to work.

Very well. Commander riker,
will you see to the admiral's staff?

First I'd like to inspect the damage
to your engine room.

Admiral satie, this is commander
data, commander la forge.

We can't get in there, captain.
The radiation levels are dropping,

but they're still too high
to raise the isolation door.

How much longer will it be?

At the rate the levels are decreasing,

we will gain entry
in 49 hours, captain.

Maybe the admiral would like to see
the visual log of the explosion.

This was logged four days ago
at 0300 hours.

[Alarm wailing onscreen]

At that point the emergency
confinement field was activated

and the isolation doors came down.

No one was killed, but I have two
people in sickbay from radiation burns.

Have you been able
to make any assessments?

A slow-motion study of the explosion

suggests that
the articulation frame collapsed.

The schematics that were stolen
from the enterprise...

I believe some involved the articulation
frame of the dilithium chamber.

That's one reason we tend
to suspect sabotage.

Other evidence lends credence
to that theory, captain.

A review of the sensor logs indicates
that every systems reading

was well within normal parameters
until 52 milliseconds

before the explosion.

We haven't found anything

that suggests there was
a malfunction anywhere along the line.

Captain, I think I'm going to need
a full briefing before we go any further.

Picard: By all means, admiral.

Commander data, la forge,
I don't envy you your job.

Good luck.

There are very disturbing overtones
in the idea of a klingon

providing information
to the romulans.

Are you aware of any other
klingon-romulan connection

that starfleet might have
encountered recently?

I don't believe...

What starfleet command knows
or doesn't know is for me to reveal.

This ship has encountered
several incidents

which might suggest a potential
alliance between those two powers.

We're well aware of that, captain.

What we must concentrate on
is the business at hand.

[Door chimes]

Come.

Excuse me, captain,
I did not know that...

Picard:
Please, Mr. Worf, come in.

I particularly want
my guest to meet you.

Admiral satie, this is my
head of security, lieutenant worf.

Captain, I've been pursuing
the investigation of lieutenant j'ddan.

I believe I know how he transferred
information off the enterprise.

Well done, lieutenant.

A hypo-syringe he uses
to treat his balthazar syndrome,

but this has been fitted
with an optical reader,

specially modified to read data
from starfleet isolinear chips.

He can extract digital information
from a computer,

encode it in the form
of amino acid sequences,

and transfer those sequences
into a fluid in the syringe.

Then he injects someone,
perhaps even without their knowledge.

Or, perhaps, with their knowledge.

The information would be carried
in their bloodstream

in the form of inert proteins.

The body itself becomes
a conveyor of top-secret files.

Lieutenant worf,
when we confront j'ddan,

I want you to conduct
the interrogation.

I would be honored.

Captain. Admiral.

Captain, I predict that officer will be
extremely valuable in this investigation.

I have tracked the movements of every
person who has left the enterprise

since you have been here.

I traced one tarkanian diplomat
as far as the cruces system,

where he disappeared
and has not been seen since.

That proves nothing.

Worf: A hypo-syringe
was discovered in your quarters.

I take injections.
Everyone knows that.

But your injections do not include
an optical chip reader.

This device has but one function:

To transform computer information
into biological sequences.

The blood of all klingons
has become water!

Since the federation alliance, we have
turned into a nation of mewling babies.

The romulans are strong.
They are worthy allies.

They do not turn klingons
into weaklings, like you.

Satie: Lieutenant.

How did you damage
the dilithium chamber?

I had nothing to do with that.

You mean it was sheer coincidence
that it was sabotaged

after you gave the plans
for the design to the romulans?

I do not know.
I had nothing to do with it.

You've admitted your crime.

Why lie now?

I am not lying.

Mr. Worf,
you may have him confined.

Sabin:
I believe he's telling the truth.

He admits stealing the files,

but not sabotaging
the dilithium chamber.

I get no sense that he's lying.

But if you're right,

someone else may be involved.

I think, captain, you have
a bigger problem on your ship

than just one klingon
exchange officer.

I've seen this before.

The specter of conspiracy
on a starship is a frightening one.

I can scarcely believe it myself.

But I am so grateful
for your presence, admiral.

If anyone in starfleet
can help us, it's you.

Captain, I find myself
changing my mind about you.

In what way?

When starfleet ordered me here,

it was with the express command

that we work together
on this problem as equals.

My father taught me
to avoid partnerships.

Most of them are woefully lopsided.

That sounds like judge Aaron satie.

You knew my father?

Picard: Only from his writings.

His judgments were required reading
at the academy.

He was an extraordinary man.

Every night at the dinner table,
he would pose a question for debate.

My big brothers and I would wrangle it
around from one side and the other.

Father would referee,
and he kept a stopwatch on us

so we would have to learn brevity.

But he wouldn't let us leave
until he thought

we'd completely explored the issue.

I'm willing to wager that you trounced
your brothers during those debates.

Heh. More than once.

Father loved it
when I nailed one of them

with some subtle point of logic.

All that I am I owe to him.

He was a giant.

You must miss him very much.

Captain, I always
preferred working alone.

That way, if something went wrong,
I didn't have to go far for the cause.

I resented you
being assigned to me.

But I was wrong.

We're going to be quite a team.

J'ddan did not make friends easily.

There are not many to question.

Sabin: You've done
a thorough job, lieutenant.

I'm strongly motivated in this matter.

Yes, I can see that.

I don't mind telling you,
I'm surprised.

Frankly, when I first heard
about your father...

My father?

There are some who believe
he betrayed your people

- to the romulans.
- What he did or did not do

- is no one's concern but my own.
Sabin: Of course.

I only meant
before I saw you in action,

I naturally considered you
to be a possible security risk.

But I want you to know,
you have the admiral's and my

complete confidence.

You have nothing to prove to us.

If there is a conspiracy on board,
I promise you, I will find it.

Good. You know the ship,
you know the personnel,

you know exactly
what we're up against.

We're counting on you, lieutenant.

I will arrange
for the interviews to begin.

[Door opens]

And how often did lieutenant j'ddan
come in for his injections?

About once a week.

- Did you administer them yourself?
- No.

Satie: Well, who did?

I had one of my assistants do that.

Did you ever hear him say anything
that may have seemed innocent

at the time that might now
shed some light on this investigation?

No, nothing.

In fact, he rarely spoke at all.

Thank you, Dr. Crusher. We
appreciate your time, you're excused.

Mr. Worf, will you bring in
the next person?

Please sit down, Mr. Tarses.

For the record, will you tell us
your name and position?

Simon tarses, crewman first class,
medical technician.

Now, I assure you, Mr. Tarses,
this is an informal inquiry.

We are not accusing you
of anything.

However, if you would like counsel,
it can be provided.

No, sir, I have nothing to hide.

Tell me, how long have you held
your appointment aboard this vessel?

Since stardate 43587.

Mr. Tarses, your records state
that you were born on Mars colony.

That's right.

Then you are human?

Largely. My paternal
grandfather was vulcan.

Yes, I see that.

Tell me, what is your relationship
with the klingon, j'ddan?

I mean, there's no relationship,
he just came in for his injections.

Did you give him those injections?

Sometimes.

There were several of us, actually.
I might have... I've done it twice.

Did he ever make any comments
that might in retrospect be suspicious?

Not really. He hardly ever talked.

Did you ever see him
outside sickbay?

Once or twice, in ten-forward,
with a group of people.

But I never had
a conversation with him.

Thank you, Mr. Tarses.

I don't think there's need
for more. Captain?

You're excused, crewman.

He's lying.
He's desperately frightened.

He's covering something.

It's clear that he's frightened.

- But that's hardly an indication...
- It's more than that.

He wasn't truthful.

He's covering a lie.

One so big it's overwhelming him.

I think we found the man.

I have to tell you,
you must not expect me

to permit any action against
Mr. Tarses,

solely on the basis
of betazoid intuition.

Sabin has uncanny instincts.

I've learned to trust them.

I'm not happy
about this use of a betazoid.

But you have a betazoid counselor.

Surely you're aware
of the advantages.

There is a difference between
a counselor and an investigator.

Are you saying you never used
your counselor during interrogations?

[Sighs]

Yes, I do.

But I would not act solely
on the basis of her instinct.

[Scoffs]

But you're asking...

[Sighs]

You're asking me to restrict
Mr. Tarses' movements

solely on the basis
of sabin's feeling.

If counselor troi suggested to you
that someone on the ship

were dangerous,
would you not act on that?

Observe him, curb his activity?

Yes, I admit I probably would.

And perhaps I should
reevaluate that behavior.

Oh, nonsense.

Let's keep our priorities straight.

The important thing is to uncover
the conspiracy on this ship.

And to prevent further damage.

Now if tarses
is a possible saboteur,

you cannot allow him access
to sensitive areas of the ship.

And I strongly suggest
continuous surveillance.

[Sighs]

If we had clear evidence...

We will have clear evidence.

Sabin and lieutenant worf
are continuing to investigate.

But if you don't act until then,
it may be too late.

I won't treat a man as a criminal
unless there is cause to do so.

And while you're being so generous,

you give a saboteur
a chance to strike again.

Last time it was just a hatch cover.

What if next time it's more serious?

What if lives are lost?

Can you afford not to act?

La forge [over com]:
Engineering to captain picard.

Yes, Mr. La forge?

Captain, could you come
to engineering right away?

We've got something interesting
to show you.

We'll be right there.

Captain, we finally got in here
about six hours ago,

and we've been going over it
inch by inch ever since.

Data:
We've made micro-tomographic

analyses of the dilithium chamber.

The hatch mounting,
the blast pattern from the explosion.

We did mass spectrometer readings
of the residue for chemical content;

sifted through the debris
for bomb fragments.

What did you find?

This is the frame for the hatch.

It ruptured right along here.

And when we take
a reading of that spot...

I'm afraid I'm out
of my element, commander.

You'll have to interpret for me.

There are sub-micron fractures
in the metal casing.

That's right. A breakdown
of the atomic cohesive structure.

Yes, and what caused them?

Those fractures suggest nothing
more than simple neutron fatigue.

I would speculate that when the engine
was last inspected at McKinley station,

the hatch casing was replaced with
one which had an undetectable defect.

I believe, sir, that the conclusion
to our investigation must be

that the explosion
was not intentional.

That's the way I see it.
This wasn't sabotage at all.

It was nothing more
than an accident.

An accident?

I find that hard to believe.

If my crew say there was no sabotage,
you can be sure there was none.

Let us keep
our perspective, gentlemen.

Just because
there was no sabotage,

doesn't mean there isn't
a conspiracy on this ship.

We do have a confessed spy.

And he had confederates.

- Do we know that for sure?
- Satie: Of course he did.

Do you think j'ddan could have come
on board the flagship of the federation

and accomplish what he did
without help from within?

I agree it would be difficult.

[Typing into device]

But not impossible.

We should continue
to investigate tarses.

He was hiding something.

Captain picard, lieutenant worf
and I have been working well together.

I suggest we continue.

If for no other purpose
than to determine tarses' innocence.

Now, please, let me remind you
heisinnocent

until he's proved guilty.

Satie: Of course he is.

What sabin is saying
is that he and lieutenant worf

would like to establish his innocence,
unequivocally, for his own sake.

Very well.

But let us put this to rest
as quickly as possible.

[All murmuring]

You've opened the hearing
to spectators?

It isn't good to have closed door
proceedings for too long.

It invites rumor and speculation.

- Nevertheless, admiral, I think it...
- Because spies and saboteurs

don't like the bright lights
of an open inquiry.

They're like roaches,
scurrying for the dark corner.

This hearing is convened
on stardate 44780,

as a continuing inquiry into the
activities of crewman Simon tarses.

Mr. Tarses, for your own protection,

I have assigned a counsel to you,

in the person
of commander William riker.

Thank you, sir,
but I don't need protection.

I have not done anything wrong.

Dr. Crusher, have you observed
crewman tarses with j'ddan?

Well, yes, he gave him his injection.

I meant outside of sickbay.

[Sighs]

I think so, perhaps in ten-forward.

And whom else have you observed
at these occasions?

I don't understand
what relevance that has,

it was an innocent social gathering.

If it was so innocent, why do you
hesitate to give us the names?

Thank you, doctor.

Admiral, if you have a case
to make against Simon tarses,

you had better make it.

Otherwise, I'm stopping this
here and now.

Mr. Tarses,

isn't it true that you have access
to the biological supplies in sickbay?

That's part of my job, yes.

J'ddan used suspensions
of the oxyribolds

to carry the encoded files he stole.

Isn't it true one of your duties
is to prepare these suspensions?

Several technicians share that job.

And isn't it true
that your security clearance

allows you access to all the stores
and files in sickbay?

Access which you can exercise
at any time?

Because I have access
does not mean I...

What would you say
if I told you there is evidence

that the explosion in the engine room
was caused by a corrosive chemical?

[Crowd murmuring]

One that is kept stored in sickbay.

I had nothing to do with that.

Sabin: How can we believe you?

How can we believe someone
whom we know, we know, to be a liar?

I object. There is no basis
for calling crewman tarses a liar.

Agreed. Mr. Sabin...

Captain, there is a basis
which will become clear in a moment.

Mr. Tarses, didn't you deliberately
and premeditatively lie

when you filled out
your personnel application

and compounded that lie
by repeating it to this committee?

- What?
- Isn't it true

that the paternal grandfather
of whom you speak

was not a vulcan, but was,
in fact, a romulan?

[Crowd murmuring]

That it is romulan blood you carry

[riker speaking indistinctly]

And a romulan heritage
that you honor?

We're waiting, Mr. Tarses.

On the advice of my counsel,

I refuse to answer
that question, in...

[Panting]

In that the answer...

Might serve to incriminate me.

You and crewman Marcus
will coordinate

to track tarses' movements
over the last five years.

Ensign kellogg,
I want a list of all relatives,

known associates,
and especially old school friends.

And make arrangements to do an
encephalographic polygraph scan.

Mr. Worf.

Yes, captain?

I need to speak with you.

You are dismissed. Please get your
reports to me as soon as possible.

Do you see what is happening
here, Mr. Worf?

- Sir?
- Is it not unlike a...

A drumhead trial?

I do not understand.

Five hundred years ago,

military officers would
upend a drum on the battlefield.

They'd sit at it
and dispense summaryjustice.

Decisions were quick,
punishments severe, appeals denied.

Those who came
to a drumhead were doomed.

But we know there is a traitor here.

J'ddan has admitted his guilt.

That's true. And he will stand
for his crime.

Tarses has all but done the same.

How?

Worf:
He refused to answer the question

- about his romulan grandfather.
- That is not a crime, worf!

Nor can we infer his guilt
because he didn't respond.

Sir, if a man were not afraid
of the truth, he would answer.

Oh, no.

We cannot allow ourselves
to think that.

The seventh guarantee

is one of the most important rights
granted by the federation.

We cannot take a fundamental
principle of the constitution

and turn it against a citizen.

Sir, the federation
does have enemies.

We must seek them out!

Oh, yes.

That's how it starts.

But the road
from legitimate suspicion

to rampant paranoia
is very much shorter than we think.

Something is wrong here, Mr. Worf.

I don't like what we have become.

Here you are, Mr. Tarses.

Would you care for some lemon?

No, thank you, sir, this is fine.

Well, tell me
a little about yourself, crewman.

I know you were born
on Mars colony.

Yes, sir.

All my life I wanted to be in starfleet.

I went to the academy's training
program for enlisted personnel.

I took training as a medical technician
and I served at several outposts.

The day that I was posted
to the enterprise

was the happiest day of my life.

Did you ever consider applying to
the academy, going the whole route?

Apply to become an officer?

Oh, my parents wanted me to.

And then I thought about it.

I used to sit under this big tree
near the parade grounds...

An elm tree, with a circular bench?

Yes, that's the one.

I spent many an hour there.

It was my favorite spot to study.

I used to sit under that tree
and watch the drills.

Picture myself an officer.

I know that it would have made
my mother very happy, but I...

- You didn't do it.
- No.

I was 18 and eager.

The last thing I wanted was to spend
four years sitting in classrooms.

I wanted to be out there,
traveling the stars.

I didn't want to wait for anything.

And now it's done, isn't it?

My career in starfleet is finished.

Not if you aren't guilty, Simon.

Doesn't matter.

I lied on my application.

And that mistake will be with me
for the rest of my life.

Mr. Worf has found a brother
who still lives on Mars colony.

Contact someone there
and have him interviewed.

- Admiral satie.
- And start a background checkup

into all his friends at
the academy training program.

- Admiral satie.
- Yes, captain?

- I would like to have a word with you.
- Well, of course.

In private.

And off the record.

Of course.

After all, you are my partner in this.

I cannot possibly believe
you mean this.

This must stop. It has gone too far.

You lied to him
about the engine room.

There were no volatile
chemicals found there.

It was a tactic.

A way of applying pressure.

We are hounding an innocent man.

And how, may I ask,
have you managed to determine that?

[Satie scoffs]

I see.

And he told you
he was a victim of circumstance.

- Blameless and pure?
- No.

He admits his mistake
in falsifying his application.

But that does not make him a traitor.

[Scoffs]

How can you be so incredibly naive?

Captain,

may I tell you
how I spent the past four years?

From planet to starbase to planet.

I had no home.

I live on starships and shuttlecraft.

I haven't seen a family member
in years.

I have no friends.

But I have a purpose.

My father taught me,
from the time I was a little girl

still clutching a blanket,

that the
united federation of planets

is the most remarkable institution
ever conceived.

And it is my cause to make sure that
this extraordinary union be preserved.

I cannot imagine why you are
trying to block this investigation.

There have been others
in the past who doubted me.

They came to regret it.

The hearings
on Simon tarses will stop.

If necessary,
I will go to starfleet command.

I have news for you, captain.

I've been in constant contact
with starfleet command.

The hearings are not going to stop.

They're going to be expanded.

What are you saying?

I'm going to get to the heart
of this conspiracy

if it means investigating
every last person on this ship.

And every hearing from now on

will be held in the presence
of admiral Thomas Henry

of starfleet security.

I've requested
he be brought here at once.

You never told me about this.

Satie: I report to
starfleet command directly.

I do not need your permission
or your approval for my decisions.

Picard: Admiral.

What you're doing here is unethical.

It's immoral.

I'll fight it.

Do what you must, captain.

And so will I.

Captain, warp engines
are back online.

We are ready to commence
restart sequences.

Yes?

Yes. Yes, of course.
Proceed, Mr. Data.

You all right, captain?

Yes, of course, number one.
Just a little preoccupied.

Admiral satie has ordered you
to report to the interrogation room

at 0900 hours tomorrow morning.

You are to be questioned
before the committee.

Picard:
Captain's log, supplemental.

Admiral Thomas Henry,

who has worked closely
with Norah satie in the past,

has arrived
to observe the hearings.

- Sabin: Your full name?
- Jean-Luc picard.

Sabin: Rank and position?

Captain,
federation starship enterprise.

Sabin:
How long have you held this post?

Over three years,
since stardate 41124.

Sabin: Very well. Admiral.

If you don't mind, there's something
I would like to say.

If you have a statement, you'll have
an opportunity to make it later.

I believe that chapter four, article 12
of the uniform code of justice

grants me the right to make
a statement before questioning begins.

Very well.

I'm deeply concerned
about what is happening here.

It began when
we apprehended a spy.

A man who admitted his guilt,
and who will answer for his crime.

But the hunt didn't end there.

Another man...

Mr. Simon tarses,
was brought to trial.

And it was a trial.

No matter what others
choose to call it.

A trial based on insinuation
andinnuendo.

Nothing substantive offered
against Mr. Tarses, much less proven.

Mr. Tarses' grandfather is romulan.

And for that reason,
his career now stands in ruins.

Have we become so...

Fearful, have we become
so cowardly...

That we must extinguish a man...

Because he carries the blood
of a current enemy?

Admiral,

let us not condemn Simon tarses,

or anyone else
because of their bloodlines,

or investigate others
for their innocent associations.

I implore you,
do not continue with this...

Proceeding.

End it now.

Captain, do you believe
in the prime directive?

Picard: Of course.

In fact, it's starfleet's general order
number one, is it not?

- Your point, admiral?
- Satie: Would it surprise you to learn

that you have violated the
prime directive a total of nine times

since you took command
of the enterprise?

I must say, captain,
it surprised the hell out of me.

My reports to starfleet will document
the circumstances of those instances.

Satie: Yes, we're looking
into those reports, captain.

Very closely into those reports.

After which, I'm sure,
we'll have more questions for you

about your so-called commitment
to starfleet prime directive.

Captain, could you tell us just
what happened on stardate 44390?

- I beg your pardon?
- Sabin: Let me refresh your memory.

You were transporting
a vulcan ambassador, t'pel.

I was following orders...

To take this ambassador
to a location near the neutral zone.

I don't think we need the preamble.

In fact, she was not
a vulcan at all, was she?

She was a romulan spy.

- That's correct.
- A spy whom you were delivering

back into the hands of the enemy.

Tell me, captain,
when the deception was revealed,

and she stood proudly
on the bridge of a romulan ship,

did you make any effort
to retrieve her?

Picard: No. Satie: No.

Even though you knew
she carried federation secrets

that she'd been accumulating
for years.

The enterprise could have been
captured by the romulans.

Captain picard
did the only thing he could.

Satie: Really, lieutenant?

And where were you when this traitor
was on board the enterprise?

Where was ship security?

Sabin: Don't you think it's
questionable judgment

to have a security officer whose
father was a romulan collaborator?

Picard: Lieutenant.

Tell me, captain,
have you completely recovered

from your experience with the borg?

Yes, I have completely recovered.

It must have been awful for you.

Actually becoming one of them.

Being forced to use your vast
knowledge of starfleet operations

to aid the borg.

Just how many
of our ships were lost?

Thirty-nine?

And a loss of life, I believe,
measured at nearly 11,000.

One wonders
how you can sleep at night,

having caused so much destruction.

I question your actions, captain.

I question your choices.

I question your loyalty.

You know, there are some words
I've known since I was a schoolboy.

"With the first link,
the chain is forged.

The first speech censured,
the first thought forbidden,

the first freedom denied,
chains us all, irrevocably."

Those words were uttered by
judge Aaron satie,

as wisdom and warning.

The first time any man's freedom
is trodden on,

we're all damaged.

- I fear that day...
- How dare you!

You, who consort with romulans

invoke my father's name
to support your traitorous arguments.

It is an offense
to everything I hold dear,

and to hear those words used

to subvert
the united federation of planets.

My father was a great man.

His name stands
for integrity and principle.

You dirty his name
when you speak it.

He loved the federation.

But you, captain, corrupt it.

You undermine our very way of life.

I will expose you for what you are.

I've brought down bigger men
than you, picard!

[Crowd murmuring]

[Door closes]

I have nothing more to say.

Perhaps we should call a recess...

Until tomorrow.

[People murmuring]

[Door opens then closes]

Worf:
Am I bothering you, captain?

No. Please, Mr. Worf, come in.

It is over.

Admiral Henry has called an end
to any more hearings on this matter.

That's good.

Admiral satie has left
the enterprise.

[Sighs]

We think we've come so far.

Torture of heretics, burning of witches,
it's all ancient history.

Then, before you can blink an eye,

suddenly it threatens
to start all over again.

I believed her.

I helped her.

I did not see what she was.

Mr. Worf, villains who twirl their
mustaches are easy to spot.

Those who clothe themselves
in good deeds are well camouflaged.

After yesterday,
people will not be so ready to trust her.

Maybe.

But she, or someone like her,
will always be with us,

waiting for the right climate
in which to flourish,

spreading fear in the name
of righteousness.

Vigilance, Mr. Worf.

That is the price
we have to continually pay.
