I need to spend more time in the gym.

If I'd known there were gonna be hills,
I would have picked a different city.

It was worth every step, sir.
The architecture alone.

I could have spent all day
in that temple.

[ARCHER CHUCKLES]

With your permission, captain,
I'd like to write the report to Starfleet.

It was my first visit
to a pre-warp culture.

Seems only fitting.

I don't suppose it has anything to do
with the tactical situation down there?

Ah, am I that obvious?

[HOSHI AND ARCHER CHUCKLE]

I can't think of a better man
for the job.

Welcome home.

Any, uh, unexpected guests?

Not a single parasite, spore or virus.

I take it your expedition
was productive?

- Very.
PHLOX: You're done here.

ARCHER: You know, as interesting as
that was, it's always good to get home.

The speaker at the political rally,
what was his name?

- Chancellor Kultrey?
- Kultarey.

Huh. You could write a book
about him alone.

His speech reminded me
of Winston Churchill

before the Second World War.

Something wrong?

Malcolm?

- My communicator.
- What about it?

It's gone.

- It's not in decon. Any luck?
- Not yet.

REED:
What about the launch-bay crew?

Could they have found it
while securing the pod?

I've already spoken to them.

[REED SIGHS]

I did everything but tear up
the floor plating.

When was the last time
you remember having it?

I contacted T'Pol to let her know
we'd entered the city.

After that, did you have any reason
to take it out of your pocket?

- No.
ARCHER: Are you sure?

I'd remember.

Either I dropped it
or someone picked my pocket.

We covered a lot of ground.
It could be anywhere.

I think I can narrow down the search,
captain.

An inverse carrier wave should amplify
its power signature.

With any luck, I'll be able to isolate it.

HOSHI:
I'm getting something.

I've got it down to
2 square kilometers.

- Can you do a little better?
- I'll try.

Didn't you say something about
a war brewing down there?

We saw a lot of propaganda,
but from what we could tell,

nobody's started fighting yet.

It's crucial we retrieve
the technology.

We can't risk contaminating
a pre-warp culture.

I've isolated the signal
to within three city blocks.

That's the best I can do, sir.

This L-shaped structure,
isn't that the fountain?

The one with the statues?

The tavern was directly
across the street, here.

The communicator could have slipped
out of my pocket when we sat down.

It's a good place to start.
You've got the Bridge.

Tell Dr. Phlox we're going to need
his cosmetic services again.

You could use another set of eyes
down there.

I appreciate the offer, Trip,
but the fewer set of eyes the better.

- I'm a regular bloodhound.
- Next time.

We'll be in range of their surveillance
towers in less than two minutes.

The hull plating's
already been polarized.

- Your feet ready for another hike?
- It's not a problem, sir.

Captain, my carelessness
was inexcusable.

I'm prepared for whatever reprimand
you feel is appropriate.

How about 30 years in the brig
or maybe a good flogging?

- Sir?
- It was an accident, Malcolm.

It could have happened to any of us.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Three military aircraft,
72 kilometers off starboard.

I suggest you increase
our descent vector.

That should keep us well below
their visual threshold.

[ALL CHATTERING]

This was the table?

Positive.

Try your scanner.

[BARKEEP CLEARS THROAT]

Welcome back.

- What would you like?
- Can you give us a few minutes?

Of course.

Where's your friend?
The young woman?

You have a good memory.

She was difficult to forget, heh.

Heh. I'll pass along the compliment.

Do you live here?

No. Just visiting.

We received a shipment
of Allakas malt this afternoon.

Sounds good.

[BEEPS]

- I've got it.
- Where?

It's in a room.

Off that corridor.

- Were you in there?
- No.

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING INTENSIFIES]

[WHISPERS]
There are two people inside.

[WHISPERS]
Better wait till they come out.

[ALL GRUNTING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Does this belong to you?

What is it?

I don't know.

What kind of weapon is this?

- Where is General Gosis?
- On the eastern perimeter.

Send a level-four communiqué
and tell him

I think we found a pair
of enemy spies.

Take them to the complex
and put your men on alert.

You won't be seeing your friends
in the Alliance for a long time.

I'm telling you,
something's gone wrong.

We should hail them.

If they're in a public place, the
communicator would draw attention.

We'll have to take that risk.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

T'Pol to Captain Archer.

The com line's open.

Captain, please respond.

Close the channel.

Did you get a fix on the signal?

Somewhere in this district.

That's more than 30 kilometers
from the tavern.

Where's the shuttlepod?

It hasn't moved.

They couldn't have traveled
that far on foot. Not that fast.

Maybe they took a train or a car.

If there was a change of plan,
they would have told us.

Try to isolate their bio-signs.
I want to know exactly where they are.

There are nearly a hundred thousand
people in that part of the city.

We'd have more luck
if we moved into a lower orbit.

Any closer and we'd be detected.

[TRIP SIGHS]

Do your best.

[GROANS]

- Still bothering you?
- I didn't have time to visit the doctor.

I wonder if the guard would bring us
some Epsom salts.

- Hmm, if I asked politely?
- Wouldn't count on it.

We came down to retrieve
my communicator.

Now we've lost two of them.

Not to mention my phase-pistol
and a pair of scanners.

I just hope they don't find
the shuttlepod.

If they really think
we are spying for this Alliance,

perhaps we should consider
telling them the truth.

I'm not sure anyone
would believe us.

Couldn't hurt to try.

Visitors from another world?

There's no way to know
how they'd react.

[REED SCOFFS]

[DOOR OPENS]

- The less we say, the better.
- Understood.

Follow me.

Which of you is the captain?

Something unexpected happened
when I was examining this transmitter.

It began to make a sound,
so I opened it.

Someone calling herself T'Pol
seemed very concerned

about her captain's well-being.

Which one of you was
she trying to contact?

I'm the captain.

The Alliance must be
growing desperate

if they're recruiting
military officers as spies.

We're not part of the military.

Why, I suppose you're the captain
of a pleasure boat.

[SCOFFS]

This transceiver,
what's its frequency, its range?

I don't know.

This appears to be
a computing instrument.

Tell me, how does it work?

[ARCHER GRUNTS]

My superiors expect answers.

As an officer, I'm sure
you can appreciate that.

I have no desire to harm you,
but I need you to cooperate.

I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

I trust you enjoyed the rally
this morning.

That's why you're here, isn't it?

It's curious, the two of you
visiting this city

the same day
as Chancellor Kultarey.

Did you come here to observe
his security arrangement?

Or perhaps assassinate him?

We're aware of your ancestral claims
against our city.

Must make a tempting target.

We're visitors,

not spies.

This T'Pol, who tried to contact you,
where is she?

[GRUNTS]

You've been surgically altered.

General.

His blood,

it's red.

Take them to Temec.
Have him perform a full examination.

They're here, inside this compound.

Guard towers, gun emplacements.
It's not a hotel.

Well, we could take Shuttlepod 2,
set it down here.

They're being held
less than 30 meters away.

We'd be back in orbit
before anyone knew they were gone.

If you were captured, you'd be giving
the inhabitants more technology.

It would undoubtedly affect
the evolution of their society.

What if they didn't see us coming?

We've still got that Suliban cell ship,

the one we used to rescue
Klaang from the Helix.

I've been working on it
in my free time.

I'm pretty close to figuring out
how it works.

If I can bring the cloak online,
we can get past their defenses,

grab our people,
and no one will see a thing.

Work quickly.

- I could use a hand.
- Aye, sir.

I suggest we monitor
the communiqués

coming from the compound.

They may tell us what's happening
to the captain and Mr. Reed.

HOSHI:
Right away.

TRIP:
I don't get it.

The power converter's engaged,

juice is definitely flowing
through these relays.

So why can we still see the ship?

Maybe this panel
isn't the cloaking device.

I've identified every other component.
It's gotta be it.

Run the power-up sequence again.

This would be a lot easier
if there was a button marked "cloak."

Hold on a minute, Travis.

[TRIP YELLS]

Are you all right?

[TRIP GROANS]

Just got the wind knocked out of me
a bit.

Maybe a little more than that.

- Hmm. Is there any pain?
- Tingles a little.

Yeah?
Can you move your fingers?

- How's that?
- You tell me.

They feel all right.

- What's your scanner say?
- Very little, I'm afraid.

Quantum physics
is hardly my specialty,

but I'd guess that you received
an intense dose

of whatever particle radiation
that ship uses to conceal itself.

Are you saying
I'm permanently cloaked?

Hmm, it's difficult to determine,
but I suspect your appendage

will eventually rematerialize
on its own.

Eventually?

Come back in an hour,
I'll check on your progress.

What am I supposed to do
in the meantime? I can't work like this.

I'd also recommend a fresh uniform.

Thanks.

Shall we try this?

Some kind of coherent energy pulse.

I thought this technology
was only theoretical.

Our Alliance friends seem to have
turned theory into reality.

May I?

There appears to be another setting.

If the Alliance has equipped
its troops with these weapons...

Make sure the devices
are kept under guard at all times.

Use men you can trust.

- What did you find?
- See for yourself.

- How is this possible?
- There's only one explanation.

Our prisoners
belong to another species.

Dr. Temec tells me your deformities

are not the work of a surgeon.

He found no obvious incisions
or scar tissue.

You're even more abnormal
on the inside.

Redundant renal organ.

And you're missing
four thoracic vertebrae.

Temec can't even begin
to explain this mass.

As for your red blood,
the doctor tells me your hemoglobin

is based on iron, a toxic element.

He conducted the test four times
to be certain.

He has a theory
about where you came from.

I found it difficult to believe
until I saw this.

One of our surveillance aircraft
took this image early this morning.

The pilot said the object was traveling
at very high speed.

Can you explain?

None of the other planets in our
system are capable of supporting life.

Where do you come from?

Our scientists tell me
it's unlikely that a craft of this size

could have traveled
from another star system.

They suspect a larger ship
must be somewhere nearby,

perhaps orbiting our planet.

Tell me your orders.

Have you made contact
with the Alliance?

[GROANS]

Answer me.

Our intelligence reports

underestimate you, general.

[CHUCKLES]

Alien creatures?

You're even more delusional
than we thought.

This isn't a spaceship.

It's suborbital.
A highly experimental aircraft.

We've been observing
your territory for months.

How did you evade
our surveillance towers?

It's made from a composite alloy,

invisible to any
of your tracking systems.

And your biological anomalies?

We've been genetically enhanced.

What kind of enhancements?

Our immune systems are resistant
to chemical and biological weapons.

And our internal organs
have been modified

to increase cellular regeneration
by 30 percent.

And that way, our wounds can heal
more quickly.

Create the perfect soldier.

How many of you are there?

We're prototypes. The only ones.

And your devices,
are they prototypes as well?

All of them.

Take them back.

Do you believe them?

It's a plausible explanation.

The Alliance could have thousands
of soldiers with these mutations.

We need to verify
what they've told us.

I ran every imaginable test.

If I were to extract the organs,

I could study them in more detail.

You'll be in charge of the execution.

I'll inform the prisoners.

Sub-commander,
another communiqué.

It's from a General Gosis
to the chancellor.

He said they've captured
two enemy spies.

They're gonna hang them.

Reconnect the diffraction relays
and we'll give it another shot.

Any change?

Still missing in action.

Having a cloaked hand
could have its advantages.

Be useful in a poker match.

I could probably become
a world-class magician.

It might be helpful on movie night,
if you bring a date.

In case you wanna steal
some popcorn.

Let's try it again.

Go ahead.

Is it working?

Not exactly. Shut her down.

The cloaking generator's running at
110 percent, and it's still not enough.

Let's route more power
from the warp relays.

Maybe that'll do the trick.

[DOOR OPENS]

How soon can you launch?

Still reconfiguring the power matrix,
but I'm pretty confident...

You don't have time.

They're going to be executed
in less than two hours.

We'll get it working on our way down
if we have to.

Look, invisible or not,

this cell ship can take more
of a beating than our shuttlepod.

You're about to find out.

Prepare it for launch.

ARCHER:
An upset stomach?

Do you really think
he'd fall for that?

REED: Well, it may be an old trick
where we come from,

but maybe they haven't
heard of it here.

ARCHER:
Even if we got out of the compound,

we'd never make it to the shuttle.

Not looking like this.

"Genetic enhancements."

- Very creative, Malcolm.
REED: Thanks.

Improvisation isn't my strong suit.

You made us sound
like the Suliban.

What do you suppose
Enterprise will do,

after we're?

If I know T'Pol,

she won't want to leave
any contamination behind.

It may take some time,
but she'll find a way to

get everything back.

Including our

remains.

[SIGHS]

It's ironic.

Giving our lives

to protect people who wanna kill us.

It's a big planet, Malcolm.

I'm sure they're not all like that.

I'm not afraid, sir.

What if we did tell them the truth?

You said it yourself, captain.

They'd never believe us.

If we show them to the shuttlepod,

bring the general up to Enterprise,

give him the grand tour,

top it off with dinner
in the Captain's Mess, heh,

we'd probably all have
a good laugh over

how he almost sent us
to the gallows.

I've gotten plenty of lectures
on cultural contamination,

but T'Pol never mentioned anything

about sacrificing crewmen
to prevent it.

If we did tell them who we are,

maybe it would do them
a world of good.

Look what the Vulcans did for Earth.

That was different.

These people haven't even
split the atom yet.

The Vulcans waited
until we were ready,

until we had the ability
to travel to other stars.

We're doing the right thing, Malcolm.

I'm sorry you won't get a chance
to write that report.

REED:
It could still happen, sir.

I'm expecting a rescue party to come
barging through that door

any moment.

We'll be in range of the surveillance
towers in less than two minutes.

They'll never see us coming.

[LOCK CLICKS]

[DOOR OPENS]

PELL:
On your feet.

[ALARM BLARES]

What was that?

There's a power drain
in the cloaking generator.

Are the warp relays off-line?

Primary and backups.

The weapon nodes are active.

Thought we diverted power
from all systems.

We did.

It may have been programmed
to reactivate when we launched.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

Three military aircraft
off our port side.

They're on an intercept course.

Travis, can't you hold this thing
steady?

It'd be a lot easier
if they stopped firing at us.

- Commander.
- Stand by.

He's my tactical officer.

He can tell you everything
you wanna know

about the Alliance's
troop deployments,

- their weapons.
- Captain.

You don't need to kill him.

[ENGINE DRONING]

[DOOR OPENS]

[MEN SHOUT INDISTINCTLY]

[GUNFIRE]

Your ride's here.

Sir? The phase-pistol,
our equipment?

Don't leave without me.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Let's go!

The shuttlepod's right
where you left it, sir.

We'll be there in two minutes.

- Captain?
- Sir, looking for this?

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

Come in.

I scanned the region ahead.

There's a blue-giant cluster three
light years from our current position.

- Any planets?
- None that are inhabited.

Sounds like a nice change of pace.

- Have Travis set a course.
- Yes, sir.

Was there something else?

You took a risk coming down
in that cell ship.

Its cloaking device
could have failed.

A calculated risk.

I'm glad you did it.

What's important is
that we got everything back.

The communicator, the phase-pistol,
the shuttlepod.

We could have done a lot of damage
to those people if we'd left any of it.

We did do damage to those people.

We've changed their perception
of the Alliance.

They now believe their enemy is
capable of creating

genetically enhanced soldiers,

not to mention particle weapons.

And thanks to that Suliban ship,

they also think the Alliance
has developed invisible aircraft.

You don't have to leave technology
behind to contaminate a culture.

You were willing to sacrifice your life
to protect them.

I would not have expected that.

Hmm.
You're making excellent progress.

Yeah? What about this?

- Heh, oh, that's nothing.
- Maybe nothing to you.

Give it time, hmm? Give it time.

[SIGHS]
