1
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:05,836
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44769.2.
2
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:09,137
For some weeks we have had
a Klingon exobiologist on board
3
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:11,541
as part of a scientific
exchange program.
4
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:13,170
Unfortunately, we suspect
5
00:00:13,213 --> 00:00:15,875
that he was involved
in a security breach
6
00:00:15,915 --> 00:00:18,975
and in the possible sabotage
of our warp drive.
7
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:22,477
What were you doing accessing
the propulsion system files
8
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:23,648
on stardate 44758?
9
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:24,987
I didn't.
10
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:28,654
Yes, you did, from
computer 12B9, deck 36.
11
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:29,753
The computer logged in
12
00:00:29,796 --> 00:00:31,923
your identification
from your communicator.
13
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:33,398
It must be a mistake.
14
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:36,402
J'Dan,
we have confirmed reports
15
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:39,928
that schematic drawings
of our dilithium chamber
16
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:42,942
fell into Romulan hands
one week later.
17
00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:44,000
I know nothing about it.
18
00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:45,442
I suppose you know
19
00:00:45,478 --> 00:00:47,776
nothing about the explosion
that disabled the warp drive
20
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:48,974
approximately the same time.
21
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:50,983
No, I was not involved.
22
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:53,451
You accuse me
because I am Klingon.
23
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:58,519
Our Chief of Security
is Klingon.
24
00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:00,526
That has nothing to do with it.
25
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,290
Send me home then
if you are so distrusting.
26
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:05,923
We've already contacted
the Klingon High Council.
27
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:07,193
You'll be returned home
28
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:09,326
as soon as we finish
our investigation.
29
00:01:09,369 --> 00:01:11,337
I have nothing more to say.
30
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:12,736
Very well.
31
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:16,037
Worf, accompany the Lieutenant
to his quarters.
32
00:01:24,617 --> 00:01:26,084
What do you think?
33
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:29,088
It's hard to tell.
34
00:01:29,122 --> 00:01:33,456
He's very closed,
but he is hiding something.
35
00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:40,188
On the Klingon Homeworld,
your name is not mentioned.
36
00:01:40,233 --> 00:01:43,999
It is as though
you never existed.
37
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:47,495
A terrible burden
for a warrior to bear...
38
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:49,337
to become nothing
39
00:01:49,375 --> 00:01:51,343
to be without honor
40
00:01:51,377 --> 00:01:54,039
without the chance for glory.
41
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,017
I have friends...
42
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:04,956
powerful friends
on the homeworld.
43
00:02:04,991 --> 00:02:06,959
I could talk to them.
44
00:02:06,993 --> 00:02:09,962
They might help
to restore your name...
45
00:02:09,996 --> 00:02:13,989
if you could just take me
to a shuttlecraft.
46
00:02:19,005 --> 00:02:22,998
It could be done
without anyone knowing about it.
47
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:28,510
I don't know how you transferred
48
00:02:28,548 --> 00:02:30,482
secret information
to the Romulans
49
00:02:30,517 --> 00:02:31,711
but I will find out!
50
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:32,718
Pahtk!
51
00:02:32,752 --> 00:02:35,880
And when we inform
the Klingon High Council
52
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:38,447
they will put you
to a slow death.
53
00:03:14,826 --> 00:03:19,229
Space, the final frontier.
54
00:03:19,264 --> 00:03:23,098
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.
55
00:03:23,135 --> 00:03:25,103
Its continuing mission...
56
00:03:25,137 --> 00:03:29,073
to explore strange new worlds
57
00:03:29,107 --> 00:03:33,544
to seek out new life
and new civilizations
58
00:03:33,578 --> 00:03:38,072
to boldly go
where no one has gone before.
59
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:38,138
Captain's Log, supplemental.
60
00:04:38,176 --> 00:04:39,871
Retired Admiral Norah Satie
61
00:04:39,911 --> 00:04:42,903
whose investigation exposed
the alien conspiracy
62
00:04:42,948 --> 00:04:46,349
against Starfleet Command
three years ago, is arriving
63
00:04:46,385 --> 00:04:48,012
to assist in our inquiry.
64
00:04:52,124 --> 00:04:53,421
Captain Picard.
65
00:04:53,458 --> 00:04:56,689
Admiral Satie,
welcome aboard the Enterprise.
66
00:04:56,728 --> 00:04:58,355
Delighted to be here.
67
00:04:58,397 --> 00:05:00,365
I managed to acquire
my former staff.
68
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,367
My aide, Sabin Genestra,
69
00:05:02,401 --> 00:05:03,868
from Betazed
70
00:05:03,902 --> 00:05:07,201
and my assistant,
Nellen Tore, from Delb II.
71
00:05:07,239 --> 00:05:09,104
This is my First Officer
72
00:05:09,141 --> 00:05:10,608
Commander William Riker.
73
00:05:10,642 --> 00:05:13,110
May I show you to your quarters?
74
00:05:13,145 --> 00:05:14,612
Captain, if Starfleet Command
75
00:05:14,646 --> 00:05:16,614
was so concerned
with your report
76
00:05:16,648 --> 00:05:18,616
they brought me
out of retirement
77
00:05:18,650 --> 00:05:20,447
I think I should
get right to work.
78
00:05:20,485 --> 00:05:21,782
Very well.
79
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:24,789
Commander Riker, will you
see to the Admiral's staff?
80
00:05:24,823 --> 00:05:28,816
First, I'd like to inspect
the damage to your engine room.
81
00:05:33,498 --> 00:05:36,126
Admiral Satie,
this is Commander Data.
82
00:05:36,168 --> 00:05:37,294
Commander La Forge.
83
00:05:37,335 --> 00:05:39,064
Admiral.
84
00:05:39,104 --> 00:05:40,662
We still can't
get in there, Captain.
85
00:05:40,705 --> 00:05:42,138
The radiation levels
are dropping
86
00:05:42,174 --> 00:05:44,734
but they're still too high
to raise the isolation door.
87
00:05:44,776 --> 00:05:46,744
How much longer will it be?
88
00:05:46,778 --> 00:05:48,609
At the rate the levels
are decreasing
89
00:05:48,647 --> 00:05:50,672
we will gain entry
in 49 hours, Captain.
90
00:05:50,715 --> 00:05:52,205
Maybe the Admiral
would like to see
91
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:53,649
the visual log of the explosion?
92
00:05:53,685 --> 00:05:54,674
Yes.
93
00:06:03,628 --> 00:06:07,257
This was logged four days ago
at 0300 hours.
94
00:06:14,905 --> 00:06:17,897
At that point, the emergency
confinement field was activated
95
00:06:17,942 --> 00:06:19,637
and the isolation doors
came down.
96
00:06:19,677 --> 00:06:20,644
No one was killed
97
00:06:20,678 --> 00:06:22,270
but I have two people
in Sick Bay
98
00:06:22,313 --> 00:06:23,280
from radiation burns.
99
00:06:23,314 --> 00:06:25,612
Have you been able
to make any assessments?
100
00:06:25,650 --> 00:06:27,948
A slow-motion study
of the explosion
101
00:06:27,985 --> 00:06:30,954
suggests that the articulation
frame collapsed.
102
00:06:30,988 --> 00:06:34,515
The schematics that were stolen
from the Enterprise...
103
00:06:34,558 --> 00:06:37,186
I believe some involved
the articulation frame
104
00:06:37,228 --> 00:06:38,752
of the dilithium chamber.
105
00:06:38,796 --> 00:06:41,788
That's one reason
we tend to suspect sabotage.
106
00:06:41,832 --> 00:06:44,801
Other evidence lends credence
to that theory, Captain.
107
00:06:44,835 --> 00:06:46,769
A review of the sensor logs
indicates
108
00:06:46,804 --> 00:06:48,271
that every system's reading
109
00:06:48,305 --> 00:06:49,966
was well
within normal parameters
110
00:06:50,074 --> 00:06:52,269
until 52 milliseconds
before the explosion.
111
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:53,936
We haven't found anything
112
00:06:53,978 --> 00:06:55,309
that suggests
there was a malfunction
113
00:06:55,346 --> 00:06:56,506
anywhere along the line.
114
00:06:56,547 --> 00:06:59,948
Captain, I think I'm going
to need a full briefing
115
00:06:59,984 --> 00:07:01,747
before we go any further.
116
00:07:01,786 --> 00:07:03,151
By all means, Admiral.
117
00:07:05,656 --> 00:07:08,124
Commander Data
118
00:07:08,159 --> 00:07:09,592
La Forge
119
00:07:09,627 --> 00:07:12,255
I don't envy you your job.
120
00:07:12,296 --> 00:07:14,264
Good luck.
121
00:07:19,804 --> 00:07:21,829
There are
very disturbing overtones
122
00:07:21,872 --> 00:07:23,339
in the idea of a Klingon
123
00:07:23,374 --> 00:07:25,638
providing information
to the Romulans.
124
00:07:25,676 --> 00:07:29,305
Are you aware of any other
Klingon-Romulan connection
125
00:07:29,346 --> 00:07:32,577
that Starfleet
might have encountered recently?
126
00:07:32,616 --> 00:07:35,312
I don't believe...
127
00:07:35,352 --> 00:07:38,651
What Starfleet Command
knows or doesn't know
128
00:07:38,689 --> 00:07:40,589
is for me to reveal.
129
00:07:42,059 --> 00:07:48,089
Well, this ship has encountered
several incidents
130
00:07:48,132 --> 00:07:50,225
which might suggest
a potential alliance
131
00:07:50,267 --> 00:07:51,632
between those two powers.
132
00:07:51,669 --> 00:07:53,637
We're well aware of that,
Captain.
133
00:07:53,671 --> 00:07:56,936
What we must concentrate on
is the business at hand.
134
00:07:58,142 --> 00:07:59,131
Come.
135
00:08:01,746 --> 00:08:02,906
Excuse me, Captain.
136
00:08:02,947 --> 00:08:04,312
I did not know that...
137
00:08:04,348 --> 00:08:05,713
Oh, please, Mr. Worf, come in.
138
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:07,911
I particularly want
my guest to meet you.
139
00:08:07,952 --> 00:08:10,250
Admiral Satie,
this is my Head of Security
140
00:08:10,287 --> 00:08:11,618
Lieutenant Worf.
141
00:08:11,655 --> 00:08:13,145
Captain, I have been pursuing
142
00:08:13,190 --> 00:08:15,215
the investigation
of Lieutenant J'Dan.
143
00:08:15,259 --> 00:08:17,784
I believe I know
how he transferred information
144
00:08:17,828 --> 00:08:19,227
off the Enterprise.
145
00:08:19,263 --> 00:08:21,163
Well done, Lieutenant.
146
00:08:21,198 --> 00:08:23,462
This is J'Dan's...
147
00:08:23,501 --> 00:08:27,335
a hyposyringe he uses to treat
his Ba'Itmasor Syndrome
148
00:08:27,371 --> 00:08:30,340
but this has been fitted
with an optical reader
149
00:08:30,374 --> 00:08:33,832
specially modified to read data
from Starfleet isolinear chips.
150
00:08:33,878 --> 00:08:36,506
He can extract digital
information from a computer
151
00:08:36,547 --> 00:08:39,141
encode it in the form
of amino acid sequences
152
00:08:39,183 --> 00:08:42,516
and transfer those sequences
into a fluid in the syringe.
153
00:08:42,553 --> 00:08:44,680
Then he injects someone
154
00:08:44,722 --> 00:08:46,952
perhaps even without
their knowledge.
155
00:08:47,057 --> 00:08:49,184
Or perhaps with their knowledge.
156
00:08:49,226 --> 00:08:51,888
The information would be carried
in their bloodstream
157
00:08:51,929 --> 00:08:53,453
in the form of inert proteins.
158
00:08:53,497 --> 00:08:57,763
The body itself becomes a
conveyor of top secret files.
159
00:08:59,837 --> 00:09:03,796
Lieutenant Worf,
when we confront J'Dan
160
00:09:03,841 --> 00:09:06,571
I want you to conduct
the interrogation.
161
00:09:08,946 --> 00:09:10,914
I would be honored.
162
00:09:10,948 --> 00:09:12,245
Captain.
163
00:09:12,283 --> 00:09:13,614
Admiral.
164
00:09:17,021 --> 00:09:19,922
Captain, I predict that officer
165
00:09:20,024 --> 00:09:23,790
will be extremely valuable
in this investigation.
166
00:09:27,832 --> 00:09:30,062
I have tracked the movements
of every person
167
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:32,830
who has left the Enterprise
since you have been here.
168
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:36,931
I traced one Tarkanian diplomat
as far as the Cruses system
169
00:09:37,041 --> 00:09:40,909
where he disappeared,
and has not been seen since.
170
00:09:40,945 --> 00:09:42,936
That proves nothing.
171
00:09:47,151 --> 00:09:52,248
A hyposyringe was discovered
in your quarters.
172
00:09:52,289 --> 00:09:53,620
I take injections.
173
00:09:53,657 --> 00:09:55,090
Everyone knows that.
174
00:09:55,125 --> 00:09:57,423
But your injections
do not include
175
00:09:57,461 --> 00:09:59,088
an optical chip reader.
176
00:09:59,129 --> 00:10:01,757
This device has
but one function...
177
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:04,962
to transform
computer information
178
00:10:05,002 --> 00:10:07,163
into biological sequences.
179
00:10:07,204 --> 00:10:10,071
The blood of all Klingons
has become water!
180
00:10:10,107 --> 00:10:11,734
Since the Federation Alliance
181
00:10:11,775 --> 00:10:14,744
we are turned into a nation
of mewling babies.
182
00:10:14,778 --> 00:10:16,575
The Romulans are strong.
183
00:10:16,614 --> 00:10:17,945
They are worthy allies.
184
00:10:17,982 --> 00:10:20,951
They do not turn Klingons
into weaklings, like you.
185
00:10:20,985 --> 00:10:22,953
Lieutenant...
186
00:10:26,657 --> 00:10:31,117
How did you damage
the dilithium chamber?
187
00:10:31,161 --> 00:10:32,492
I had nothing to do with that.
188
00:10:32,529 --> 00:10:33,996
You mean,
it was sheer coincidence
189
00:10:34,064 --> 00:10:37,864
that it was sabotaged after you
gave the plans for the design
190
00:10:37,902 --> 00:10:38,926
to the Romulans?
191
00:10:38,969 --> 00:10:41,301
I do not know.
I had nothing to do with it.
192
00:10:41,338 --> 00:10:43,272
You've admitted your crime.
193
00:10:43,307 --> 00:10:45,275
Why lie now?
194
00:10:45,309 --> 00:10:47,504
I am not lying.
195
00:10:50,681 --> 00:10:53,878
Mr. Worf,
you may have him confined.
196
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,827
Sabin?
197
00:11:04,862 --> 00:11:07,490
I believe
he's telling the truth.
198
00:11:07,531 --> 00:11:08,964
He admits stealing the files
199
00:11:09,066 --> 00:11:11,261
but not sabotaging
the dilithium chamber.
200
00:11:11,302 --> 00:11:14,100
I get no sense that he's lying.
201
00:11:14,138 --> 00:11:17,733
But if you're right,
someone else may be involved.
202
00:11:17,775 --> 00:11:19,140
I think, Captain
203
00:11:19,176 --> 00:11:22,145
you have a bigger problem
on your ship
204
00:11:22,179 --> 00:11:24,670
than just one
Klingon exchange officer.
205
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:42,130
I've seen this before.
206
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:44,634
A specter of conspiracy
on a starship
207
00:11:44,668 --> 00:11:46,499
is a frightening one.
208
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:49,631
I can scarcely
believe it myself.
209
00:11:49,673 --> 00:11:53,200
But I am so grateful
for your presence, Admiral.
210
00:11:53,243 --> 00:11:56,542
If anyone in Starfleet
can help us, it's you.
211
00:11:56,580 --> 00:11:58,673
Captain...
212
00:11:58,716 --> 00:12:01,776
I find myself changing
my mind about you.
213
00:12:01,819 --> 00:12:02,979
In what way?
214
00:12:04,822 --> 00:12:08,883
When Starfleet ordered me here,
it was with the express command
215
00:12:08,926 --> 00:12:12,225
that we work together
on this problem as equals.
216
00:12:12,262 --> 00:12:15,527
My father taught me
to avoid partnerships.
217
00:12:15,566 --> 00:12:17,864
Most of them
are woefully lopsided.
218
00:12:17,901 --> 00:12:20,802
That sounds like
Judge Aaron Satie.
219
00:12:20,838 --> 00:12:22,635
You knew my father?
220
00:12:22,673 --> 00:12:23,970
Only from his writings.
221
00:12:24,041 --> 00:12:26,669
His judgments were
required reading at the Academy.
222
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:30,202
He was an extraordinary man.
223
00:12:33,017 --> 00:12:34,917
Every night at the dinner table
224
00:12:34,952 --> 00:12:37,512
he would pose
a question for debate.
225
00:12:37,554 --> 00:12:39,784
My big brothers and I
would wrangle it around
226
00:12:39,823 --> 00:12:41,791
from one side and the other.
227
00:12:41,825 --> 00:12:43,292
Father would referee.
228
00:12:43,327 --> 00:12:44,988
And he kept a stopwatch on us
229
00:12:45,062 --> 00:12:46,996
so we would have to learn
brevity
230
00:12:47,031 --> 00:12:48,692
but he wouldn't let us leave
231
00:12:48,732 --> 00:12:51,792
until he thought we'd completely
explored the issue.
232
00:12:51,835 --> 00:12:54,201
I'm willing to wager that you
trounced your brothers
233
00:12:54,238 --> 00:12:55,364
during those debates.
234
00:12:55,406 --> 00:12:57,135
More than once.
235
00:12:57,174 --> 00:13:00,337
Father loved it
when I nailed one of them
236
00:13:00,377 --> 00:13:02,504
with some subtle point of logic.
237
00:13:06,283 --> 00:13:09,351
All that I am, I owe to him.
238
00:13:09,484 --> 00:13:12,214
He was a giant.
239
00:13:12,253 --> 00:13:14,915
You must miss him very much.
240
00:13:14,956 --> 00:13:19,359
Captain, I always preferred
working alone.
241
00:13:19,394 --> 00:13:21,521
That way,
if something went wrong
242
00:13:21,563 --> 00:13:25,055
I didn't have to go far
for the cause.
243
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,568
I resented you
being assigned to me
244
00:13:27,602 --> 00:13:29,661
but I was wrong.
245
00:13:29,704 --> 00:13:32,537
We're going to be quite a team.
246
00:13:34,843 --> 00:13:38,210
J'Dan did not make friends
easily.
247
00:13:38,246 --> 00:13:40,874
There are not many to question.
248
00:13:40,915 --> 00:13:43,440
You've done
a thorough job, Lieutenant.
249
00:13:43,485 --> 00:13:45,919
I am strongly motivated
in this matter.
250
00:13:45,954 --> 00:13:47,353
Yes, I can see that.
251
00:13:49,023 --> 00:13:51,958
I don't mind telling you,
I'm surprised.
252
00:13:51,993 --> 00:13:55,292
Frankly, when I first
heard about your father...
253
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:57,389
My father?
254
00:13:57,432 --> 00:13:59,195
Yes.
255
00:13:59,234 --> 00:14:00,599
There are some who believe
256
00:14:00,635 --> 00:14:02,762
he betrayed your people
to the Romulans.
257
00:14:02,804 --> 00:14:06,262
What he did or did not do
is no one's concern but my own.
258
00:14:06,307 --> 00:14:07,672
Of course.
259
00:14:07,709 --> 00:14:09,870
I only meant,
before I saw you in action
260
00:14:09,911 --> 00:14:13,176
I naturally considered you
to be a possible security risk.
261
00:14:13,214 --> 00:14:14,374
But I want you to know
262
00:14:14,416 --> 00:14:17,112
you have the Admiral's
and my complete confidence.
263
00:14:17,152 --> 00:14:19,882
You have nothing to prove to us.
264
00:14:19,921 --> 00:14:22,389
If there is
a conspiracy on board
265
00:14:22,424 --> 00:14:24,289
I promise you, I will find it.
266
00:14:24,325 --> 00:14:25,349
Good.
267
00:14:25,393 --> 00:14:27,759
You know the ship,
you know the personnel.
268
00:14:27,796 --> 00:14:29,957
You know exactly
what we're up against.
269
00:14:29,998 --> 00:14:32,432
We're counting on you,
Lieutenant.
270
00:14:32,467 --> 00:14:35,959
I will arrange
for the interviews to begin.
271
00:14:39,574 --> 00:14:41,667
And how often did
Lieutenant J'Dan
272
00:14:41,709 --> 00:14:43,438
come in for his injections?
273
00:14:43,478 --> 00:14:44,877
About once a week.
274
00:14:44,913 --> 00:14:46,813
Did you administer them
yourself?
275
00:14:46,848 --> 00:14:47,815
No.
276
00:14:47,849 --> 00:14:49,180
Well, who did?
277
00:14:49,217 --> 00:14:51,651
I had
one of my assistants do that.
278
00:14:51,686 --> 00:14:53,210
Did you ever hear
him say anything...
279
00:14:53,254 --> 00:14:55,552
anything that may have seemed
innocent at the time...
280
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:57,922
that might now shed some light
on this investigation?
281
00:14:57,959 --> 00:14:59,927
No. Nothing.
282
00:14:59,961 --> 00:15:02,759
In fact, he rarely spoke at all.
283
00:15:02,797 --> 00:15:03,923
Thank you, Dr. Crusher.
284
00:15:03,998 --> 00:15:05,829
We appreciate your time.
You're excused.
285
00:15:05,867 --> 00:15:08,131
Mr. Worf, will you
bring in the next person?
286
00:15:16,377 --> 00:15:19,938
Please sit down, Mr. Tarses.
287
00:15:20,048 --> 00:15:23,711
For the record, will you tell us
your name and position?
288
00:15:23,751 --> 00:15:25,116
Simon Tarses
289
00:15:25,153 --> 00:15:27,246
Crewman First Class,
Medical Technician.
290
00:15:27,288 --> 00:15:31,486
Now, I assure you, Mr. Tarses,
this is an informal inquiry.
291
00:15:31,526 --> 00:15:34,086
We are not accusing
you of anything.
292
00:15:34,128 --> 00:15:36,460
However, if you
would like counsel
293
00:15:36,498 --> 00:15:38,261
it can be provided.
294
00:15:38,299 --> 00:15:40,699
No, sir, I have nothing to hide.
295
00:15:40,735 --> 00:15:42,293
Tell me, how long have you held
296
00:15:42,337 --> 00:15:44,168
your appointment
aboard this vessel?
297
00:15:44,205 --> 00:15:47,106
Since Stardate 43587.
298
00:15:47,141 --> 00:15:49,575
Mr. Tarses, your records state
299
00:15:49,611 --> 00:15:52,171
that you were born
on Mars Colony.
300
00:15:52,213 --> 00:15:53,646
That's right.
301
00:15:53,681 --> 00:15:55,171
Then you are human?
302
00:15:55,216 --> 00:15:56,979
Largely.
303
00:15:57,018 --> 00:15:58,986
My paternal grandfather
was Vulcan.
304
00:15:59,087 --> 00:16:00,748
Yes, I see that.
305
00:16:00,788 --> 00:16:02,881
Tell me, what is
your relationship
306
00:16:02,924 --> 00:16:04,357
with the Klingon, J'Dan?
307
00:16:04,392 --> 00:16:07,054
Um, he...
308
00:16:07,095 --> 00:16:09,495
I mean, there's no relationship.
309
00:16:09,531 --> 00:16:11,897
He just came in
for his injections.
310
00:16:11,933 --> 00:16:14,128
Did you give him
those injections?
311
00:16:14,168 --> 00:16:15,362
Sometimes.
312
00:16:15,403 --> 00:16:17,928
There were several of us,
actually.
313
00:16:17,972 --> 00:16:20,463
I-I might ha-have done it twice.
314
00:16:20,508 --> 00:16:21,702
Did he ever make any comments
315
00:16:21,743 --> 00:16:23,506
that might, in retrospect,
be suspicious?
316
00:16:23,545 --> 00:16:24,944
Not really.
317
00:16:24,979 --> 00:16:26,412
He hardly ever talked.
318
00:16:26,447 --> 00:16:29,416
Did you ever see him
outside Sick Bay?
319
00:16:29,450 --> 00:16:32,817
Once or twice in Ten-Forward
with a group of people
320
00:16:32,854 --> 00:16:35,948
but I never had
a conversation with him.
321
00:16:36,057 --> 00:16:37,456
Thank you, Mr. Tarses.
322
00:16:37,492 --> 00:16:40,461
I don't think there's
need for more, Captain.
323
00:16:40,495 --> 00:16:42,087
You're excused, Crewman.
324
00:16:46,868 --> 00:16:48,199
Mr. Worf...
325
00:16:48,236 --> 00:16:49,396
Wait.
326
00:16:49,437 --> 00:16:51,098
He's lying.
327
00:16:51,139 --> 00:16:52,367
He's desperately frightened.
328
00:16:52,407 --> 00:16:53,533
He's covering something.
329
00:16:53,575 --> 00:16:55,338
It's clear that he's frightened
330
00:16:55,376 --> 00:16:56,866
but that's hardly
an indication...
331
00:16:56,911 --> 00:16:57,969
It's more than that.
332
00:16:58,046 --> 00:17:00,105
He wasn't truthful.
333
00:17:00,148 --> 00:17:01,274
He's covering a lie...
334
00:17:01,316 --> 00:17:03,841
one so big,
it's overwhelming him.
335
00:17:05,286 --> 00:17:07,311
I think we found the man.
336
00:17:20,535 --> 00:17:21,695
Admiral.
337
00:17:25,807 --> 00:17:27,604
I have to tell you
338
00:17:27,642 --> 00:17:30,270
you must not expect me
to permit any action
339
00:17:30,311 --> 00:17:34,611
against Mr. Tarses solely on
the basis of Betazoid intuition.
340
00:17:34,649 --> 00:17:36,742
Sabin has uncanny instincts.
341
00:17:36,784 --> 00:17:38,877
I've learned to trust them.
342
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,388
I'm not happy
about this use of a Betazoid.
343
00:17:41,422 --> 00:17:43,617
But you have
a Betazoid Counselor.
344
00:17:43,658 --> 00:17:46,126
Surely you're aware
of the advantages.
345
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,060
But there is a difference
346
00:17:48,096 --> 00:17:51,122
between a Counselor
and an investigator.
347
00:17:51,165 --> 00:17:53,793
Are you saying you
never use your Counselor
348
00:17:53,835 --> 00:17:55,200
during interrogations?
349
00:17:56,738 --> 00:17:59,206
Yes, I do...
350
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,870
but I would not act solely
on the basis of her instinct.
351
00:18:05,313 --> 00:18:06,780
Nor do I.
352
00:18:06,814 --> 00:18:08,281
But you're asking...
353
00:18:10,118 --> 00:18:13,451
You're asking me to restrict
Mr. Tarses's movements
354
00:18:13,488 --> 00:18:16,013
solely on the basis
of Sabin's feeling.
355
00:18:16,057 --> 00:18:19,026
If Counselor Troi
suggested to you
356
00:18:19,060 --> 00:18:22,029
that someone on this ship
were dangerous
357
00:18:22,063 --> 00:18:24,156
would you not act on that?
358
00:18:24,198 --> 00:18:27,190
Observe him, curb his activity?
359
00:18:28,703 --> 00:18:31,672
Yes, I admit I probably would
360
00:18:31,706 --> 00:18:34,800
and perhaps I should reevaluate
that behavior.
361
00:18:34,842 --> 00:18:36,139
Oh, nonsense.
362
00:18:36,177 --> 00:18:38,145
Let's keep our priorities
straight.
363
00:18:38,179 --> 00:18:39,646
The important thing
364
00:18:39,681 --> 00:18:41,945
is to uncover the conspiracy
on this ship
365
00:18:42,050 --> 00:18:43,950
and to prevent further damage.
366
00:18:43,985 --> 00:18:46,613
Now, if Tarses
is a possible saboteur
367
00:18:46,654 --> 00:18:50,181
you cannot allow him access
to sensitive areas of this ship
368
00:18:50,224 --> 00:18:53,682
and I strongly suggest
continuous surveillance.
369
00:19:01,436 --> 00:19:03,563
If we had clear evidence...
370
00:19:03,604 --> 00:19:05,572
We will have clear evidence.
371
00:19:05,606 --> 00:19:08,541
Sabin and Lieutenant Worf
are continuing to investigate
372
00:19:08,576 --> 00:19:12,137
but if you don't act until then,
it may be too late.
373
00:19:16,384 --> 00:19:18,909
No.
374
00:19:18,953 --> 00:19:20,818
I won't treat a man
as a criminal
375
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:22,686
unless there is cause to do so.
376
00:19:22,724 --> 00:19:25,352
And while you're being
so generous
377
00:19:25,393 --> 00:19:28,328
you give a saboteur a chance
to strike again?
378
00:19:28,362 --> 00:19:31,229
Last time, it was just
a hatch cover.
379
00:19:31,265 --> 00:19:33,665
What if next time
it's more serious?
380
00:19:33,701 --> 00:19:35,293
What if lives are lost?
381
00:19:35,336 --> 00:19:37,133
Can you afford not to act?
382
00:19:37,171 --> 00:19:39,571
Engineering to Captain Picard.
383
00:19:39,607 --> 00:19:41,165
Yes, Mr. La Forge?
384
00:19:41,209 --> 00:19:43,677
Captain, could you come
to Engineering right away?
385
00:19:43,711 --> 00:19:46,077
We've got something interesting
to show you.
386
00:19:46,114 --> 00:19:48,048
We'll be right there.
387
00:19:50,051 --> 00:19:53,214
Captain, we finally got in here
about six hours ago
388
00:19:53,254 --> 00:19:56,052
and we've been going over
it inch by inch ever since.
389
00:19:56,090 --> 00:19:58,285
We have made
microtomographic analyses
390
00:19:58,326 --> 00:20:00,590
of the dilithium chamber,
the hatch mounting
391
00:20:00,628 --> 00:20:02,459
the blast pattern
from the explosion.
392
00:20:02,497 --> 00:20:04,364
We did mass spectrometer
readings of the residue
393
00:20:04,497 --> 00:20:05,589
for chemical content
394
00:20:05,631 --> 00:20:08,099
sifted through the debris
for bomb fragments.
395
00:20:08,134 --> 00:20:09,431
What did you find?
396
00:20:09,469 --> 00:20:12,302
This is the frame for the hatch.
397
00:20:12,338 --> 00:20:14,704
It ruptured right along here
398
00:20:14,741 --> 00:20:18,336
and when we take a reading
of that spot...
399
00:20:19,412 --> 00:20:20,538
See?
400
00:20:20,580 --> 00:20:23,743
I'm afraid I'm out
of my element, Commander.
401
00:20:23,783 --> 00:20:25,648
You'll have to interpret
for me.
402
00:20:25,685 --> 00:20:28,654
There are sub-micron fractures
in the metal casing.
403
00:20:28,688 --> 00:20:29,712
That's right.
404
00:20:29,756 --> 00:20:32,316
A breakdown of the atomic
cohesive structure.
405
00:20:32,358 --> 00:20:33,985
Yes, and what caused them?
406
00:20:34,026 --> 00:20:35,994
Those fractures
suggest nothing more
407
00:20:36,028 --> 00:20:37,586
than simple neutron fatigue.
408
00:20:37,630 --> 00:20:40,997
I would speculate that when
the engine was last inspected
409
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:44,092
at McKinley Station,
the hatch casing was replaced
410
00:20:44,137 --> 00:20:46,662
with one which had
an undetectable defect.
411
00:20:46,706 --> 00:20:47,866
I believe, sir
412
00:20:47,907 --> 00:20:49,807
that the conclusion
to our investigation
413
00:20:49,842 --> 00:20:52,538
must be that the explosion
was not intentional.
414
00:20:52,578 --> 00:20:54,205
That's the way I see it.
415
00:20:54,247 --> 00:20:56,215
This wasn't sabotage at all.
416
00:20:56,249 --> 00:20:58,774
It was nothing more than...
an accident.
417
00:21:02,622 --> 00:21:03,953
An accident?
418
00:21:05,625 --> 00:21:07,752
I find that hard to believe.
419
00:21:07,794 --> 00:21:10,592
If my crew say
there was no sabotage
420
00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:12,598
you can be sure there was none.
421
00:21:12,632 --> 00:21:14,156
Let us keep our perspective,
gentlemen.
422
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,600
Just because
there was no sabotage
423
00:21:16,636 --> 00:21:19,196
doesn't mean there isn't
a conspiracy on this ship.
424
00:21:19,238 --> 00:21:21,069
We do have a confessed spy.
425
00:21:21,107 --> 00:21:23,132
And he had confederates.
426
00:21:23,176 --> 00:21:24,268
Do we know that for sure?
427
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:25,368
Of course he did.
428
00:21:25,411 --> 00:21:26,605
Do you think J'Dan
429
00:21:26,646 --> 00:21:29,342
could have come on board
the flagship of the Federation
430
00:21:29,382 --> 00:21:32,112
and accomplished what he did
without help from within?
431
00:21:34,153 --> 00:21:36,621
I agree it would be difficult...
432
00:21:36,656 --> 00:21:38,624
but not impossible.
433
00:21:38,658 --> 00:21:41,627
We should continue
to investigate Tarses.
434
00:21:41,661 --> 00:21:44,653
He was hiding something.
435
00:21:44,697 --> 00:21:46,494
Captain Picard,
Lieutenant Worf and I
436
00:21:46,532 --> 00:21:47,999
have been working well together.
437
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:50,364
I suggest we continue,
if for no other purpose
438
00:21:50,403 --> 00:21:52,234
than to determine
Tarses's innocence.
439
00:21:52,271 --> 00:21:55,206
Now, please, let me remind you
he is innocent
440
00:21:55,241 --> 00:21:57,004
until he is proved guilty.
441
00:21:57,043 --> 00:21:58,670
Of course he is.
442
00:21:58,711 --> 00:22:01,942
What Sabin is saying
is that he and Lieutenant Worf
443
00:22:01,981 --> 00:22:04,347
would like to establish
his innocence
444
00:22:04,383 --> 00:22:06,544
unequivocally, for his own sake.
445
00:22:07,954 --> 00:22:12,220
Very well, but let us put this
to rest as quickly as possible.
446
00:22:29,709 --> 00:22:32,177
You've opened the hearing
to spectators?
447
00:22:32,211 --> 00:22:35,180
It isn't good to have
closed-door proceedings
448
00:22:35,214 --> 00:22:36,181
for too long.
449
00:22:36,215 --> 00:22:38,115
It invites rumor
and speculation.
450
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:40,209
Nevertheless, Admiral,
I think it would be wise...
451
00:22:40,253 --> 00:22:41,515
Because spies and saboteurs
452
00:22:41,554 --> 00:22:44,990
don't like the bright lights
of an open inquiry.
453
00:22:45,024 --> 00:22:48,482
They're like roaches,
scurrying for the dark corner.
454
00:22:55,101 --> 00:22:59,094
This hearing is convened
on Stardate 44780
455
00:22:59,138 --> 00:23:01,106
as a continuing inquiry
456
00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:04,871
into the activities
of Crewman Simon Tarses.
457
00:23:04,911 --> 00:23:06,936
Mr. Tarses,
for your own protection
458
00:23:07,046 --> 00:23:09,139
I have assigned a counsel to you
459
00:23:09,181 --> 00:23:11,342
in the person
of Commander William Riker.
460
00:23:11,384 --> 00:23:13,716
Thank you, sir,
but I don't need protection.
461
00:23:13,753 --> 00:23:15,550
I have not done anything wrong.
462
00:23:15,588 --> 00:23:20,958
Dr. Crusher, have you observed
Crewman Tarses with J'Dan?
463
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:24,621
Well, yes, he gave him
his injection.
464
00:23:24,664 --> 00:23:26,928
I meant outside of Sick Bay.
465
00:23:29,135 --> 00:23:31,103
I think so.
466
00:23:31,137 --> 00:23:32,468
Perhaps in Ten-Forward.
467
00:23:32,505 --> 00:23:35,963
And whom else have you observed
at these occasions?
468
00:23:36,008 --> 00:23:38,602
I don't understand
what relevance that has.
469
00:23:38,644 --> 00:23:40,771
It was an innocent
social gathering.
470
00:23:40,813 --> 00:23:42,781
If it was so innocent
471
00:23:42,815 --> 00:23:45,875
why do you hesitate
to give us the names?
472
00:23:45,918 --> 00:23:47,749
Thank you, Doctor.
473
00:23:47,787 --> 00:23:51,484
Admiral, if you have a case
to make against Simon Tarses
474
00:23:51,524 --> 00:23:52,718
you had better make it.
475
00:23:52,758 --> 00:23:55,022
Otherwise, I'm stopping
this here and now.
476
00:24:01,968 --> 00:24:06,428
Mr. Tarses, isn't it true
that you have access
477
00:24:06,472 --> 00:24:08,804
to the biological
supplies in Sick Bay?
478
00:24:08,841 --> 00:24:10,308
It's part of my job, yes.
479
00:24:10,343 --> 00:24:12,641
J'Dan used suspensions
of deoxyribose
480
00:24:12,678 --> 00:24:14,646
to carry the encoded files
he stole.
481
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,945
Isn't it true one of your duties
is to prepare these suspensions?
482
00:24:18,017 --> 00:24:19,746
Several technicians
share that job.
483
00:24:19,785 --> 00:24:21,753
And isn't it true
that your security clearance
484
00:24:21,787 --> 00:24:24,950
allow you access to all
the stores and files in Sick Bay
485
00:24:25,024 --> 00:24:27,151
access which you can exercise
at any time?
486
00:24:27,193 --> 00:24:29,218
Because I have access
does not mean I...
487
00:24:29,261 --> 00:24:32,458
What would you say if I told you
there is evidence
488
00:24:32,498 --> 00:24:34,090
that the explosion
in the engine room was caused
489
00:24:34,133 --> 00:24:35,122
by a corrosive chemical...
490
00:24:35,167 --> 00:24:38,534
one that is kept
stored in Sick Bay?
491
00:24:38,571 --> 00:24:40,766
I had nothing to do with that.
492
00:24:40,806 --> 00:24:42,774
How can we believe you?
493
00:24:42,808 --> 00:24:45,402
How can we believe someone
whom we know...
494
00:24:45,444 --> 00:24:47,412
we know to be a liar?
495
00:24:47,446 --> 00:24:48,572
I object.
496
00:24:48,614 --> 00:24:50,844
There is no basis for calling
Crewman Tarses a liar.
497
00:24:50,883 --> 00:24:51,975
Agreed. Mr. Sabin.
498
00:24:52,051 --> 00:24:53,348
Captain, there is a basis
499
00:24:53,386 --> 00:24:55,854
which will become clear
in a moment.
500
00:24:55,888 --> 00:24:56,912
Mr. Tarses, didn't you
501
00:24:56,956 --> 00:24:58,651
deliberately
and premeditatively lie
502
00:24:58,691 --> 00:25:00,921
when you filled out
your personnel application
503
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,054
and compounded that lie by
repeating it to this committee?
504
00:25:04,096 --> 00:25:05,063
What?
505
00:25:05,097 --> 00:25:06,394
Isn't it true
506
00:25:06,432 --> 00:25:08,923
that the paternal grandfather
of whom you speak
507
00:25:09,001 --> 00:25:11,526
was not a Vulcan, but was,
in fact, a Romulan?
508
00:25:11,570 --> 00:25:14,539
That it is Romulan blood
you carry
509
00:25:14,573 --> 00:25:17,599
and a Romulan heritage
that you honor?
510
00:25:17,643 --> 00:25:20,476
We're waiting, Mr. Tarses.
511
00:25:20,513 --> 00:25:23,482
On the advice of my counsel
512
00:25:23,516 --> 00:25:28,351
I refuse to answer
that question in...
513
00:25:28,387 --> 00:25:30,855
in that the answer m...
514
00:25:30,890 --> 00:25:33,586
might serve to incriminate me.
515
00:25:52,478 --> 00:25:54,173
You and Crewman Marcus
will coordinate
516
00:25:54,213 --> 00:25:57,842
to track Tarses's movements
over the last five years.
517
00:25:57,883 --> 00:26:00,909
Ensign Kellogg, I want a list
of all relatives
518
00:26:00,953 --> 00:26:04,320
known associates and especially
old school friends
519
00:26:04,356 --> 00:26:05,380
and make arrangements
520
00:26:05,424 --> 00:26:07,858
to do an encephalographic
polygraph scan...
521
00:26:07,893 --> 00:26:09,758
Mr. Worf.
522
00:26:09,795 --> 00:26:11,786
Yes, Captain?
523
00:26:11,831 --> 00:26:14,163
I need to speak with you.
524
00:26:15,735 --> 00:26:16,861
You are dismissed.
525
00:26:16,902 --> 00:26:19,234
Please get your reports to me
as soon as possible.
526
00:26:30,216 --> 00:26:32,548
Do you see what is
happening here, Mr. Worf?
527
00:26:34,587 --> 00:26:35,884
Sir?
528
00:26:35,921 --> 00:26:38,355
This is not unlike a...
529
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:40,790
a drumhead trial.
530
00:26:42,962 --> 00:26:44,827
I do not understand.
531
00:26:46,665 --> 00:26:48,826
500 years ago, military officers
532
00:26:48,868 --> 00:26:51,393
would upend a drum
on the battlefield.
533
00:26:51,437 --> 00:26:53,530
They'd sit at it
and dispense summary justice.
534
00:26:53,572 --> 00:26:55,437
Decisions were quick,
punishments severe
535
00:26:55,474 --> 00:26:58,102
appeals denied.
536
00:26:58,144 --> 00:27:01,238
Those who came to a drumhead
were doomed.
537
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,078
But we know
there is a traitor here.
538
00:27:04,116 --> 00:27:06,818
J'Dan has admitted his guilt.
539
00:27:06,951 --> 00:27:08,919
That's true, and he will stand
for his crime.
540
00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:11,011
Tarses has all but done
the same.
541
00:27:11,055 --> 00:27:12,022
How?
542
00:27:12,056 --> 00:27:13,614
He refused to answer
the question
543
00:27:13,658 --> 00:27:15,421
about his Romulan grandfather.
544
00:27:15,459 --> 00:27:17,086
That is not a crime, Worf!
545
00:27:18,529 --> 00:27:21,794
Nor can we infer his guilt
because he didn't respond.
546
00:27:21,833 --> 00:27:26,361
Sir, if a man were not afraid
of the truth, he would answer.
547
00:27:26,404 --> 00:27:28,133
Oh, no.
548
00:27:28,172 --> 00:27:32,268
We cannot allow ourselves
to think that.
549
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:35,541
The Seventh Guarantee is one
of the most important rights
550
00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:37,138
granted by the Federation.
551
00:27:37,181 --> 00:27:39,547
We cannot take
a fundamental principle
552
00:27:39,584 --> 00:27:43,452
of the Constitution
and turn it against a citizen.
553
00:27:43,487 --> 00:27:46,923
Sir, the Federation does
have enemies.
554
00:27:46,958 --> 00:27:49,392
We must seek them out.
555
00:27:51,162 --> 00:27:52,527
Oh, yes.
556
00:27:54,031 --> 00:27:56,795
That's how it starts
557
00:27:56,834 --> 00:27:59,735
but the road
from legitimate suspicion
558
00:27:59,770 --> 00:28:04,036
to rampant paranoia is very much
shorter than we think.
559
00:28:04,075 --> 00:28:06,305
Something is wrong here,
Mr. Worf.
560
00:28:06,344 --> 00:28:08,369
I don't like
what we have become.
561
00:28:19,957 --> 00:28:22,016
There you are, Mr. Tarses.
562
00:28:22,059 --> 00:28:24,050
Would you care for some lemon?
563
00:28:24,095 --> 00:28:26,222
No, thank you, sir,
this is fine.
564
00:28:26,264 --> 00:28:29,358
Well, tell me a little
about yourself, Crewman.
565
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,028
I know you were born
on Mars Colony.
566
00:28:32,069 --> 00:28:33,559
Yes, sir.
567
00:28:35,439 --> 00:28:38,237
All my life, I wanted
to be in Starfleet.
568
00:28:38,276 --> 00:28:43,339
I went to the Academy's training
program for enlisted personnel.
569
00:28:43,381 --> 00:28:44,939
I took training
as a medical technician
570
00:28:44,982 --> 00:28:47,849
and I served
at several outposts.
571
00:28:47,885 --> 00:28:50,376
The day that I was posted
to the Enterprise
572
00:28:50,421 --> 00:28:52,286
was the happiest day of my life.
573
00:28:52,323 --> 00:28:54,086
Did you ever consider
applying to the Academy
574
00:28:54,125 --> 00:28:55,149
going the whole route?
575
00:28:55,192 --> 00:28:57,660
Apply to become an officer?
576
00:28:57,695 --> 00:29:01,893
Well, my parents wanted me
to, and I thought about it.
577
00:29:01,933 --> 00:29:05,266
I used to sit
under this big tree
578
00:29:05,303 --> 00:29:06,770
near the parade grounds.
579
00:29:06,804 --> 00:29:09,364
An elm tree
with a circular bench?
580
00:29:09,407 --> 00:29:10,374
Yes, that's the one.
581
00:29:10,408 --> 00:29:11,670
I spent many an hour there.
582
00:29:11,709 --> 00:29:13,301
It was my favorite spot
to study.
583
00:29:15,012 --> 00:29:19,346
I used to sit under that tree
and watch the drills.
584
00:29:19,383 --> 00:29:22,580
Picture myself an officer.
585
00:29:22,620 --> 00:29:27,614
I know that it would have made
my mother very happy, but I...
586
00:29:27,658 --> 00:29:29,523
You didn't do it.
587
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,527
No.
588
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:35,191
I was 18 and eager.
589
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:39,134
The last thing I wanted
was to spend four years
590
00:29:39,170 --> 00:29:41,035
sitting in classrooms.
591
00:29:41,072 --> 00:29:46,908
I wanted to be out there,
traveling the stars.
592
00:29:46,944 --> 00:29:50,311
I didn't want to wait
for anything.
593
00:29:53,317 --> 00:29:55,410
And now it's done, isn't it?
594
00:29:55,453 --> 00:29:58,581
My career in Starfleet
is finished.
595
00:29:58,622 --> 00:30:02,217
Not if you aren't guilty, Simon.
596
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:05,251
It doesn't matter.
597
00:30:05,296 --> 00:30:07,264
I lied on my application.
598
00:30:10,167 --> 00:30:13,500
And that mistake will be with me
for the rest of my life.
599
00:30:20,878 --> 00:30:24,507
Mr. Worf has found a brother
who still lives on Mars Colony.
600
00:30:24,548 --> 00:30:26,516
Contact someone there
and have him interviewed.
601
00:30:26,550 --> 00:30:27,517
Admiral Satie...
602
00:30:27,551 --> 00:30:28,813
And start a background checkup
603
00:30:28,853 --> 00:30:30,980
into all his friends
at the Academy training program.
604
00:30:31,022 --> 00:30:31,989
Admiral Satie?
605
00:30:32,089 --> 00:30:32,987
Yes, Captain?
606
00:30:33,090 --> 00:30:34,318
I would like
to have a word with you.
607
00:30:34,358 --> 00:30:35,484
Of course.
608
00:30:35,526 --> 00:30:37,551
In private...
609
00:30:37,595 --> 00:30:39,392
and off the record.
610
00:30:40,531 --> 00:30:42,294
Of course.
611
00:30:42,333 --> 00:30:44,528
After all,
you are my partner in this.
612
00:30:48,739 --> 00:30:51,003
I cannot possibly believe
you'd mean this.
613
00:30:51,075 --> 00:30:52,201
But I do.
614
00:30:52,243 --> 00:30:53,437
This must stop.
615
00:30:53,477 --> 00:30:54,739
It has gone too far.
616
00:30:54,779 --> 00:30:56,542
You lied to him
about the engine room.
617
00:30:56,580 --> 00:30:59,105
There were no volatile chemicals
found there.
618
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:02,210
It was a tactic...
a way of applying pressure.
619
00:31:02,253 --> 00:31:06,212
We're hounding an innocent man.
620
00:31:06,257 --> 00:31:08,953
And how, may I ask, have you
managed to determine that?
621
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:10,585
I've talked with him.
622
00:31:12,196 --> 00:31:13,891
Oh, I see.
623
00:31:13,931 --> 00:31:17,594
And he told you he was
a victim of circumstance...
624
00:31:17,635 --> 00:31:19,068
blameless and pure?
625
00:31:19,103 --> 00:31:20,400
No.
626
00:31:20,438 --> 00:31:23,601
He admits his mistake
in falsifying his application
627
00:31:23,641 --> 00:31:25,973
but that does not make him
a traitor.
628
00:31:28,746 --> 00:31:31,613
How can you be
so incredibly naive?
629
00:31:34,018 --> 00:31:36,077
Captain, may I tell you
630
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,385
how I have spent
the past four years?
631
00:31:39,423 --> 00:31:42,392
From planet to Starbase
to planet.
632
00:31:42,426 --> 00:31:44,189
I have no home.
633
00:31:44,228 --> 00:31:47,493
I live on starships
and shuttlecraft.
634
00:31:47,531 --> 00:31:49,999
I haven't seen
a family member in years.
635
00:31:50,101 --> 00:31:55,505
I have no friends,
but I have a purpose.
636
00:31:55,539 --> 00:31:58,337
My father taught me from
the time I was a little girl
637
00:31:58,375 --> 00:32:00,240
still clutching a blanket
638
00:32:00,277 --> 00:32:02,802
that the United Federation
of Planets
639
00:32:02,847 --> 00:32:07,079
is the most remarkable
institution ever conceived
640
00:32:07,118 --> 00:32:10,554
and it is my cause to make sure
641
00:32:10,588 --> 00:32:13,921
that this extraordinary
union be preserved.
642
00:32:13,958 --> 00:32:16,552
I cannot imagine
why you are trying
643
00:32:16,594 --> 00:32:18,755
to block this investigation.
644
00:32:18,796 --> 00:32:21,731
There have been others
in the past who doubted me.
645
00:32:23,033 --> 00:32:24,660
They came to regret it.
646
00:32:32,109 --> 00:32:35,442
The hearings on Simon Tarses
will stop.
647
00:32:35,479 --> 00:32:37,811
If necessary,
I will go to Starfleet Command.
648
00:32:37,848 --> 00:32:40,578
I have news for you, Captain.
649
00:32:40,618 --> 00:32:44,213
I've been in constant contact
with Starfleet Command.
650
00:32:44,255 --> 00:32:46,985
The hearings
are not going to stop.
651
00:32:47,024 --> 00:32:48,514
They're going to be expanded.
652
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:50,288
What are you saying?
653
00:32:50,327 --> 00:32:53,888
I'm going to get
to the heart of this conspiracy
654
00:32:53,931 --> 00:32:57,367
if it means investigating
every last person on this ship
655
00:32:57,401 --> 00:33:01,895
and every hearing from now on
will be held in the presence
656
00:33:01,939 --> 00:33:05,534
of Admiral Thomas Henry
of Starfleet Security.
657
00:33:05,576 --> 00:33:08,204
I've requested
he be brought here at once.
658
00:33:08,245 --> 00:33:10,440
You never told me about this.
659
00:33:10,481 --> 00:33:12,949
I report to Starfleet Command
directly.
660
00:33:13,050 --> 00:33:15,883
I do not need your permission
or your approval
661
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,251
for my decisions.
662
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:21,455
Admiral.
663
00:33:21,492 --> 00:33:23,551
What you're doing here...
664
00:33:23,594 --> 00:33:26,324
is unethical.
665
00:33:26,363 --> 00:33:27,921
It's immoral.
666
00:33:29,266 --> 00:33:31,461
I'll fight it.
667
00:33:31,502 --> 00:33:34,096
Do what you must, Captain.
668
00:33:35,606 --> 00:33:37,597
And so will I.
669
00:33:47,451 --> 00:33:50,579
Captain, warp engines
are back on line.
670
00:33:50,621 --> 00:33:53,215
We are ready to commence
restart sequences.
671
00:33:55,526 --> 00:33:56,925
Sir?
672
00:33:56,961 --> 00:33:58,519
Yes?
673
00:33:58,562 --> 00:34:01,224
Yes, yes, of course,
proceed, Mr. Data.
674
00:34:04,635 --> 00:34:06,660
You all right, Captain?
675
00:34:06,704 --> 00:34:10,105
Yes, of course, Number One,
just a little preoccupied.
676
00:34:12,775 --> 00:34:14,902
Admiral Satie has ordered you
to report
677
00:34:14,944 --> 00:34:19,074
to the interrogation room
at 0900 hours tomorrow morning.
678
00:34:19,115 --> 00:34:21,879
You are to be questioned
before the committee.
679
00:34:35,264 --> 00:34:37,232
Captain's Log, supplemental.
680
00:34:37,266 --> 00:34:38,927
Admiral Thomas Henry
681
00:34:38,968 --> 00:34:41,493
who has worked closely
with Norah Satie in the past
682
00:34:41,537 --> 00:34:44,131
has arrived
to observe the hearings.
683
00:34:46,075 --> 00:34:47,099
Your full name?
684
00:34:47,143 --> 00:34:48,610
Jean-Luc Picard.
685
00:34:48,644 --> 00:34:49,736
Rank and position?
686
00:34:49,779 --> 00:34:51,770
Captain,
Federation Starship Enterprise.
687
00:34:51,814 --> 00:34:53,304
How long have you
held this post?
688
00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:56,648
Over three years,
since Stardate 41124.
689
00:34:56,686 --> 00:34:58,916
Very well. Admiral.
690
00:34:58,954 --> 00:35:01,286
If you don't mind, there is
something I would like to say.
691
00:35:01,323 --> 00:35:03,917
If you have a statement,
you'll have an opportunity
692
00:35:03,959 --> 00:35:05,517
to make it later.
693
00:35:05,561 --> 00:35:07,119
I believe that Chapter Four
694
00:35:07,163 --> 00:35:09,256
Article 12
of the Uniform Code of Justice
695
00:35:09,298 --> 00:35:11,323
grants me the right
to make a statement
696
00:35:11,367 --> 00:35:13,801
before questioning begins.
697
00:35:13,836 --> 00:35:15,269
Very well.
698
00:35:18,307 --> 00:35:21,071
I'm deeply concerned
about what is happening here.
699
00:35:22,511 --> 00:35:26,948
It began
when we apprehended a spy...
700
00:35:27,016 --> 00:35:28,643
a man who admitted his guilt
701
00:35:28,684 --> 00:35:30,652
and who will answer
for his crime.
702
00:35:30,686 --> 00:35:34,053
But the hunt didn't end there.
703
00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:38,049
Another man, Mr. Simon Tarses,
was brought to trial...
704
00:35:38,094 --> 00:35:43,327
and it was a trial, no matter
what others choose to call it.
705
00:35:43,365 --> 00:35:49,235
A trial based on insinuation
and innuendo.
706
00:35:49,271 --> 00:35:52,900
Nothing substantive
offered against Mr. Tarses
707
00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:54,307
much less proven.
708
00:35:57,346 --> 00:36:01,749
Mr. Tarses's grandfather
is Romulan
709
00:36:01,784 --> 00:36:07,086
and for that reason,
his career now stands in ruins.
710
00:36:08,991 --> 00:36:13,018
Have we become so... fearful
711
00:36:13,062 --> 00:36:16,793
have we become so cowardly
712
00:36:16,832 --> 00:36:21,269
that we must extinguish a man
713
00:36:21,303 --> 00:36:24,602
because he carries the blood
of a current enemy?
714
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,609
Admiral...
715
00:36:27,643 --> 00:36:32,945
let us not condemn Simon Tarses
or anyone else
716
00:36:33,015 --> 00:36:35,347
because of their bloodlines
717
00:36:35,384 --> 00:36:40,253
or investigate others
for their innocent associations.
718
00:36:40,289 --> 00:36:42,120
I implore you.
719
00:36:42,158 --> 00:36:47,425
Do not continue
with this... proceeding.
720
00:36:47,463 --> 00:36:49,727
End it now.
721
00:36:51,433 --> 00:36:54,402
Captain, do you believe
in the Prime Directive?
722
00:36:54,436 --> 00:36:55,460
Of course.
723
00:36:55,504 --> 00:36:57,062
In fact, it's Starfleet's
724
00:36:57,106 --> 00:36:59,973
General Order Number One,
is it not?
725
00:37:00,042 --> 00:37:01,100
Your point, Admiral?
726
00:37:01,143 --> 00:37:02,804
Would it surprise you to learn
727
00:37:02,845 --> 00:37:05,109
that you have violated
the Prime Directive
728
00:37:05,147 --> 00:37:08,344
a total of nine times
since you took command
729
00:37:08,384 --> 00:37:09,578
of the Enterprise?
730
00:37:09,618 --> 00:37:12,781
I must say, Captain, it
surprised the hell out of me.
731
00:37:12,822 --> 00:37:14,915
My reports to Starfleet
732
00:37:14,957 --> 00:37:17,721
will document the circumstances
of those instances.
733
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,388
Yes, we're looking into
those reports, Captain...
734
00:37:20,429 --> 00:37:22,329
very closely into those reports.
735
00:37:22,364 --> 00:37:26,232
After which, I'm sure we'll have
more questions for you
736
00:37:26,268 --> 00:37:28,634
about your so-called
commitment
737
00:37:28,671 --> 00:37:30,195
to Starfleet Prime Directive.
738
00:37:34,276 --> 00:37:36,141
Captain, could you tell us
739
00:37:36,178 --> 00:37:40,080
just what happened
on Stardate 44390?
740
00:37:40,115 --> 00:37:41,844
I beg your pardon?
741
00:37:41,884 --> 00:37:43,943
Let me refresh your memory.
742
00:37:43,986 --> 00:37:48,480
You were transporting
a Vulcan ambassador... T'Pel.
743
00:37:48,524 --> 00:37:55,123
I was following orders
to... take this ambassador
744
00:37:55,164 --> 00:37:56,961
to a location
near the Neutral Zone.
745
00:37:57,032 --> 00:37:58,693
I don't think
we need the preamble.
746
00:37:58,734 --> 00:38:02,693
In fact, she was not a Vulcan
at all, was she?
747
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:04,171
She was a Romulan spy.
748
00:38:06,542 --> 00:38:07,702
That's correct.
749
00:38:07,743 --> 00:38:09,438
A spy whom you were delivering
750
00:38:09,478 --> 00:38:11,309
back into the hands
of the enemy.
751
00:38:11,347 --> 00:38:14,214
Tell me, Captain,
when the deception was revealed
752
00:38:14,250 --> 00:38:17,310
and she stood proudly
on the Bridge of a Romulan ship
753
00:38:17,353 --> 00:38:20,117
did you make any effort
to retrieve her?
754
00:38:20,155 --> 00:38:22,680
- No.
- No.
755
00:38:22,725 --> 00:38:26,627
Even though you knew
she carried Federation secrets
756
00:38:26,662 --> 00:38:28,789
that she had been
accumulating for years?
757
00:38:28,831 --> 00:38:33,564
The Enterprise could have been
captured by the Romulans.
758
00:38:33,602 --> 00:38:35,934
Captain Picard did
the only thing he could.
759
00:38:36,005 --> 00:38:37,495
Really, Lieutenant.
760
00:38:37,539 --> 00:38:39,530
And where were you
when this traitor
761
00:38:39,575 --> 00:38:41,543
was on board the Enterprise?
762
00:38:41,577 --> 00:38:43,067
Where was ship's security?
763
00:38:43,112 --> 00:38:45,239
Don't you think
it's questionable judgment
764
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:46,839
Captain, to have
a security officer
765
00:38:46,882 --> 00:38:48,816
whose father was
a Romulan collaborator?
766
00:38:49,985 --> 00:38:51,213
Lieutenant.
767
00:39:02,231 --> 00:39:04,062
Tell me, Captain.
768
00:39:04,099 --> 00:39:06,590
Have you completely recovered
769
00:39:06,635 --> 00:39:09,001
from your experience
with the Borg?
770
00:39:10,706 --> 00:39:13,436
Yes, I have
completely recovered.
771
00:39:13,475 --> 00:39:17,172
It must have been awful for you
772
00:39:17,212 --> 00:39:19,840
actually becoming one of them
773
00:39:19,882 --> 00:39:22,646
being forced to use
your vast knowledge
774
00:39:22,685 --> 00:39:26,348
of Starfleet operations
to aid the Borg.
775
00:39:26,388 --> 00:39:29,721
Just how many
of our ships were lost?
776
00:39:29,758 --> 00:39:31,919
Thirty-nine?
777
00:39:31,961 --> 00:39:37,399
And a loss of life, I believe,
measured at nearly 11,000.
778
00:39:37,433 --> 00:39:41,460
One wonders
how you can sleep at night
779
00:39:41,503 --> 00:39:43,937
having caused
so much destruction.
780
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:46,473
I question your actions,
Captain.
781
00:39:46,508 --> 00:39:48,305
I question your choices.
782
00:39:48,344 --> 00:39:51,006
I question your Ioyalty.
783
00:39:52,715 --> 00:39:55,684
You know, there are
some words I've known
784
00:39:55,718 --> 00:39:57,481
since I was a schoolboy.
785
00:39:57,519 --> 00:40:00,955
"With the first link,
the chain is forged.
786
00:40:01,023 --> 00:40:03,617
"The first speech censured
787
00:40:03,659 --> 00:40:05,627
"the first thought forbidden
788
00:40:05,661 --> 00:40:07,686
"the first freedom denied
789
00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:09,994
chains us all irrevocably."
790
00:40:12,167 --> 00:40:15,967
Those words were uttered
by Judge Aaron Satie
791
00:40:16,038 --> 00:40:20,975
as wisdom and warning.
792
00:40:21,043 --> 00:40:26,071
The first time any man's freedom
is trodden on
793
00:40:26,115 --> 00:40:28,310
we are all damaged.
794
00:40:28,350 --> 00:40:29,977
I fear that today...
795
00:40:30,085 --> 00:40:31,245
How dare you...
796
00:40:31,286 --> 00:40:35,245
you who consort with Romulans...
797
00:40:35,290 --> 00:40:37,258
invoke my father's name
798
00:40:37,292 --> 00:40:40,489
to support
your traitorous arguments?!
799
00:40:40,529 --> 00:40:43,828
It is an offense
to everything I hold dear!
800
00:40:43,866 --> 00:40:46,926
And to hear those words
used to subvert
801
00:40:46,969 --> 00:40:49,199
the United Federation
of Planets.
802
00:40:49,238 --> 00:40:52,002
My father was a great man.
803
00:40:52,074 --> 00:40:55,840
His name stands
for integrity and principle.
804
00:40:55,878 --> 00:41:00,008
You dirty his name
when you speak it.
805
00:41:00,082 --> 00:41:02,050
He loved the Federation
806
00:41:02,084 --> 00:41:04,382
but you, Captain, corrupt it.
807
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:07,480
You undermine
our very way of life.
808
00:41:07,523 --> 00:41:09,324
I will expose you
for what you are.
809
00:41:09,324 --> 00:41:10,882
I will expose you
for what you are.
810
00:41:10,925 --> 00:41:15,362
I've brought down
bigger men than you, Picard!
811
00:41:39,287 --> 00:41:41,687
I have nothing more to say.
812
00:41:51,299 --> 00:41:55,998
Perhaps we should
call a recess until tomorrow.
813
00:42:38,179 --> 00:42:40,545
Am I bothering you, Captain?
814
00:42:40,581 --> 00:42:42,913
No, please, Mr. Worf, come in.
815
00:42:52,794 --> 00:42:54,955
It is over.
816
00:42:54,996 --> 00:42:57,157
Admiral Henry has called an end
817
00:42:57,198 --> 00:42:59,996
to any more hearings
on this matter.
818
00:43:00,034 --> 00:43:01,524
That's good.
819
00:43:03,971 --> 00:43:07,839
Admiral Satie has
left the Enterprise.
820
00:43:12,814 --> 00:43:15,282
We think we've come so far.
821
00:43:15,316 --> 00:43:19,150
Torture of heretics,
burning of witches
822
00:43:19,187 --> 00:43:21,451
is all ancient history.
823
00:43:21,489 --> 00:43:25,448
Then, before you
can blink an eye
824
00:43:25,493 --> 00:43:29,361
suddenly, it threatens
to start all over again.
825
00:43:31,933 --> 00:43:34,231
I believed her.
826
00:43:34,268 --> 00:43:37,465
I... I helped her.
827
00:43:37,505 --> 00:43:41,908
I did not see what she was.
828
00:43:41,943 --> 00:43:45,572
Mr. Worf, villains
who twirl their mustaches
829
00:43:45,613 --> 00:43:46,978
are easy to spot.
830
00:43:47,081 --> 00:43:49,845
Those who clothe themselves
in good deeds
831
00:43:49,884 --> 00:43:51,647
are well-camouflaged.
832
00:43:51,686 --> 00:43:55,713
I think... after yesterday
833
00:43:55,756 --> 00:43:59,852
people will not be
so ready to trust her.
834
00:43:59,894 --> 00:44:02,260
Maybe.
835
00:44:02,296 --> 00:44:05,663
But she, or someone like her,
will always be with us
836
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:08,533
waiting for the right climate
in which to flourish
837
00:44:08,569 --> 00:44:12,699
spreading fear
in the name of righteousness.
838
00:44:16,976 --> 00:44:20,173
Vigilance, Mr. Worf.
839
00:44:20,213 --> 00:44:22,613
That is the price
we have to continually pay.
