The military does not dictate policy on Romulus. 10 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,631 The Senate has considered Shinzon's proposal and rejected it. 11 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,676 He and his followers will be met with force and sent back to their black rock! 12 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,874 - Do I make myself clear? - Yes, sir. 13 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,112 Praetor, I have an appointment with the Tholian ambassador. 14 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,232 Of course. 15 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,352 Senators, are there any others who wish to speak? 16 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,429 Then I call for a vote on the motion to open trade negotiations with Celes II. 17 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,996 The Reman mines have not been filling their quotas. 18 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,953 Consider the trade committee's findings. 19 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,993 As much as we don't want... 20 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,918 Someone alert security! Bring back Senator Tal'Aura! 21 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,910 Duty. A starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. 22 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,231 I have commanded in battle, negotiated peace between implacable enemies. 23 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,753 I have represented the Federation in first contact with 27 alien species. 24 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,875 But none of this compares with my solemn duty today... 25 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,957 ...as best man. 26 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,755 Now, on an occasion such as this, it is expected that I be gracious 27 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,829 and fulsome in my praise on the wonders of this blessed union. 28 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,636 But have the two of you considered what you are doing to me? 29 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:54,393 You're happy, but what about my needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. 30 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,593 While you're settling in on the Titan, 31 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,314 I will be training my new first officer. 32 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,158 You know him. 33 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,480 He's a tyrannical martinet who will never, ever allow me to go on away missions! 34 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,036 That is the regulation, sir. Starfleet Code, section 12... 35 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,559 - Data. - Sir? 36 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,115 - Shut up. - Yes, sir. 37 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,433 15 years I've been waiting to say that. 38 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,319 No, seriously, Will, Deanna, there's still time to reconsider. Yes? 39 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,678 - No. - No?

What can you be afraid of? 75 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,234 I'm picking up an odd electromagnetic signature from the Kolarin system. 76 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,512 - What sort of signature? - Positronic. 77 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,560 It's very faint but I've isolated it to the third planet in the Kolarin system. 78 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,228 - What do we know? - Uncharted. 79 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,989 - We'll have to get closer for more detail. - Theories? 80 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,829 Positronic signatures are only known to emanate from androids. 81 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,589 It is logical to theorise there is an android on Kolarus III. 82 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,234 Just what I feared. Captain? 83 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:36,109 Diverting there takes us close to the Romulan Neutral Zone. 84 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,917 It's still well on our side. I think... 85 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,632 ...it's worth a look. Don't worry, Number One. 86 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,469 - We'll have you to Betazed in time. - Thank you, sir. 87 00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:55,355 Where we will all honour the Betazoid tradition. 88 00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:00,634 Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the gym. 89 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,790 Mr Branson, lay in a course for the Kolarin system, warp five. 90 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,270 What do you think, Data? A long-Iost relative? 91 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,519 I read six distinct positronic signatures, spread out over a few kilometres. 92 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,872 - What about the population? - Isolated pockets of humanoids. 93 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,471 It appears to be a pre-warp civilisation in early industrial development. 94 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:52,356 I wouldn't recommend the transporter. That ion storm doesn't look neighbourly. 95 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,791 - It could head our way without warning. - Understood. 96 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,269 - Data, Mr Worf, you're with me. - I needn't remind you... 97 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,554 I appreciate your concern, Number One, but I've been itching to try the Argo. 98 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:11,988 I'll bet. 99 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,795 Captain's prerogative. There's no foreseeable danger. 100 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,278 And your wife wouldn't forgive me if anything happened to you. 101 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,199 You have the bridge... Mr Troi. 102 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,479 I am puzzled by the human predilection for piloting vehicles at unsafe velocities. 103 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,914 Over that rise, sir, half a kilometre. 104 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,229 The electromagnetic field is disrupting my tricorder. 105 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,877 - We're within metres of the signal. - Fan out. Let's search around. 106 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,712 - It appears to be a robotic arm. - Very astute. 107 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,916 Bring it to the vehicle. 108 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,995 This doesn't feel right. 109 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,477 The final signature is 100 metres north. 110 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,713 - It's you. - The resemblance is striking. 111 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,591 Fascinating. 112 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,028 To the vehicle! 113 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,632 I think it's time to try some unsafe velocities. 114 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,073 Why do you have a shiny head? 115 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,189 - Conversation isn't appropriate. - Why? 116 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,631 - The captain has to concentrate. - Why? 117 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,068 - Because... - Data! 118 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,269 Sorry, sir. 119 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,837 Have I said something wrong? 120 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,432 You know, all things considered, Data, I think you have nicer eyes. 121 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,510 Our eyes are identical, Doctor. 122 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,757 - So what have we got, Geordi? - Well... 123 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,748 ...his mechanics are like Data's, with less positronic development. 124 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,078 The neural pathways aren't as sophisticated. I'd say he's a prototype. 125 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,795 Something Dr Soong created prior to Data. 126 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,391 - Do you have a name, sir? - I am... B-4. 127 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,276 B-4? Dr Soong's penchant for whimsical names has no end. 128 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,435 How did you come to be where we found you? 129 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,714 - I do not know. - Do you remember anything of your life? 130 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,232 No. Why does the tall man have a furry face? 131 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,588 Number One, keep me informed, and Geordi, reassemble him. 132 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,593 - B-4, do you know who I am? - You are me. 133 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:18,070 No. My name is Data. 134 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,712 I am your brother. 135 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,035 Tea, Earl Grey, hot. 136 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,751 An Alpha Priority communication from Starfleet Command for you, Captain. 137 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,757 Acknowledged. 138 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,309 Admiral Janeway, good to see you. 139 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,519 Jean-Luc. How would you like a trip to Romulus? 140 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,792 - With or without the fleet? - A diplomatic mission. 141 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,472 We're invited, believe it or not. There's been an internal political shake up. 142 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,470 The new Praetor, Shinzon, has requested a Federation envoy. 143 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,752 - New Praetor? - Here's more. He's Reman. 144 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,715 Believe me, we don't understand it either. You're the closest ship. 145 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,833 Go and hear what he has to say. Get the lay of the land. 146 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,999 An unstable Empire could mean trouble for the quadrant. 147 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,715 - Understood. - We're sending you all our intelligence. 148 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,311 But it's not much. I don't need to tell you to watch your back. 149 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,273 - Hardly. - The Son'a, the Borg, 150 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,950 the Romulans... you get all the easy assignments. 151 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,234 - Just lucky, Admiral. - Let's hope it holds. Janeway out. 152 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,113 Helmsman, lay in a new course. Take us to Romulus. Warp eight. 153 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,316 Course laid in. 154 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,832 - Romulus? - The Opal Sea will have to wait. Engage. 155 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,435 As you can see, one side of Remus always faces the sun. 156 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,668 Due to the extreme temperatures on that half, the Remans live on the dark side. 157 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,840 Little is known of the Reman homeworld, 158 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,751 although scans have revealed dilithium mining and heavy weapons construction. 159 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,995 The Remans themselves are considered an undesirable caste in the Empire. 160 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,873 They're said to be formidable warriors. 161 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,631 In the Dominion War, Reman troops were used as assault forces. 162 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,469 - Cannon fodder. - How did a Reman get to be Praetor? 163 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,433 - I don't get it. - Romulan collaborators? 164 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,155 - Coup d'état? - The Praetor's power is their fleet. 165 00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:57,511 They must have been behind Shinzon. 166 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,598 What have we learned about Shinzon? 167 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:06,909 Only a part of his military record. He is young and a capable commander. 168 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,032 He won 12 major engagements in the war. 169 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:16,190 - Beyond that, we know nothing. - Well, we're sailing into the unknown. 170 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,588 Keep at it. Give me anything you can. Dismissed. 171 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,795 I still can't believe the captain went along with a memory download. 172 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,639 He agrees that the B-4 probably has 173 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,992 the same self-actualisation parameters as myself. 174 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,194 If my memory engrams are successfully integrated into his positronic matrix, 175 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,554 - he should have all my abilities. - He'd have all your memories as well. 176 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,038 - You feel comfortable with that? - I feel nothing, Geordi. 177 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,678 With my memory engrams, he will be able to be a more complete individual. 178 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,475 - An individual more like you, you mean? - Yes. 179 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:09,070 Maybe he's not supposed to be like you. Maybe he's supposed to be as he is. 180 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:16,038 That might be so, but he should have the opportunity to explore his potential. 181 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,228 OK, we're done. 182 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,553 - B-4, do you know where you are? - I am in a room with lights. 183 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,829 Remember our father? 184 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,194 - Our father? - Yes, Dr Soong. 185 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,710 - No. - Do you know the name of the captain? 186 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:53,634 No. 187 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,155 Data, he's assimilating a lot of programming. 188 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,397 He's a lot less sophisticated than you. 189 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,469 We don't know if his matrix will be able to adapt. We need to give him time. 190 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,832 Geordi, what purpose does this serve? 191 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,315 - What? - This. 192 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,876 A redundant memory port. Maybe the provisional storage 193 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,753 is in case his neural pathways overload. 194 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,157 Mind if I keep him here? Run a few diagnostics? 195 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,318 I do not mind. 196 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,716 - Data! - No. 197 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,595 Remain with Commander La Forge. He will try to help you. 198 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,309 Captain's log: Stardate 56844.9. 199 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,674 The Enterprise has arrived at Romulus and waits at the designated coordinates. 200 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,591 All our hails have gone unanswered. We've been waiting for 17 hours. 201 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,471 - Counsellor? - They're out there, sir. 202 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,516 - Captain! Recommend we raise shields. - Not yet, Mr Worf. 203 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,635 With due respect to diplomatic protocol, the Federation Council isn't here. 204 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,391 - We are. - Patience. Diplomacy is very exacting. 205 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,068 - We will wait. - Captain... 206 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,679 - Shields! - No! 207 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,916 - Captain... - Tactical! 208 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,630 52 disruptor banks, 27 photon torpedo bays, 209 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,718 primary and secondary shields. 210 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,559 She's a predator. 211 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,437 We're being hailed. 212 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:22,838 On screen. 213 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,113 Enterprise, we are the Reman warbird, Scimitar. 214 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,110 - Praetor Shinzon, I'm pleased to... - I am not Shinzon. 215 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,111 I am his viceroy. We are sending transport coordinates. 216 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,475 - Not very chatty. - Away Team, transporter room four. 217 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,198 I hope you'll forgive the darkness. 218 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,029 We are not comfortable in the light. 219 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,518 - Praetor Shinzon? - Captain Picard. 220 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,597 Jean-Luc Picard. 221 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,591 I'd always imagined you taller. Isn't that odd? 222 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,118 You may scan me without subterfuge, Commander Data. 223 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,191 - You are not as we imagined you. - No? 224 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,674 You're human. 225 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,797 Why have you asked us to come here? 226 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,032 Praetor? 227 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,791 - I've never met a human woman before. - I'm only half human. 228 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560 Deanna Troi, of Betazed. 229 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,593 Empathic and telepathic abilities, ship's counsellor. 230 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,999 All this I knew. But I never knew you were so beautiful. 231 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,714 You're quite familiar with our personnel. 232 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:01,313 I am, Commander Riker. May I touch your hair? 233 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,877 We came to Romulus on a matter we were assured was of great importance. 234 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,950 If you have anything to say to us as Federation representatives, do it now. 235 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,995 Yes, I'm sorry, Captain. There is so much we need to talk about. 236 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,230 - I would be interested to know what. - Unity, Captain! 237 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,116 Tearing down the walls between us to recognise that we are one. 238 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,674 I'm talking of the thing that makes us the same. 239 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,112 Peace. We want peace. 240 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,869 You're thinking this all sounds too good to be true, 241 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,392 but that the chance for peace is too promising to ignore. 242 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,594 I'm right? 243 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,709 - Yes. - Perhaps it's time to add illumination. 244 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,230 Computer, raise the lighting four levels. 245 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,794 When I was young I had an odd disease. 246 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,390 I developed a hyper-sensitivity to sound. 247 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,957 Even a whisper caused me agony. No one could do anything. 248 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,597 Finally I was taken to a doctor with experience of Terran illnesses. 249 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:44,670 And he diagnosed Shalaft's Syndrome... Do you know of it, Captain? 250 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,959 Yes. 251 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,438 Then you know it's a very rare syndrome. 252 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:03,239 Genetic. Apparently, all the male members of a family have it. 253 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:09,231 Eventually I was treated and now I can hear as well as you can, Captain. 254 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,830 I can see as well as you can. 255 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,591 I can feel everything you feel. 256 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:23,318 In fact, I feel exactly what you feel. 257 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,872 Don't I, Jean-Luc? 258 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,430 Come to dinner tomorrow on Romulus. Just the two of us. 259 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,269 Or should I say, just the one of us? 260 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,676 I think you'll be wanting this. 261 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,757 Until tomorrow then, Captain. We have much to discuss. 262 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,716 Computer, return lighting to previous level. 263 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,390 There's no doubt. Right down to your strain of Shalaft's Syndrome. 264 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,957 He's a clone. They probably used a hair follicle or skin cell. 265 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,473 - Why? - I intend to find out, Number One. 266 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:59,994 Inform Starfleet of the situation. I need to know where the hell he came from. 267 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,598 Counsellor. 268 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,275 We supported you, Shinzon, when you assassinated the Senate. 269 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:15,510 You told us the timing was perfect to attack the Federation. Why the delay? 270 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,188 You don't have to understand. 271 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,551 Why bring the Enterprise here? 272 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,638 - I have a purpose. - Then enlighten us. 273 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,308 Silence, Romulan! 274 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,596 You must learn patience, Commander. 275 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,792 Spend 18 hours every day under the lash of a Romulan guard 276 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,879 and you'll soon understand patience. 277 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,834 Now go. 278 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,717 Commander Donatra. 279 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,034 Remain. 280 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,070 There's a word I want you to consider. 281 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,558 Allegiance. It's something I demand from those who serve me. 282 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:26,073 - Do I serve you? - Yes... And I think faithfully. 283 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:32,435 Commander Suran, on the other hand, gives me pause. 284 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,269 Here's another word, Praetor. 285 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,357 Trust. 286 00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:43,676 Do you trust me? 287 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,599 How far does that trust extend? 288 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,510 How deep does it go? 289 00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:55,633 What must a commander do to prove herself faithful? 290 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,388 What must a woman do? 291 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:06,515 You are not a woman. You are a Romulan. 292 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,958 Serve me faithfully and you will be rewarded. 293 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:17,473 Keep those lovely eyes on Commander Suran. 294 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,549 And at the first sign of treachery... 295 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,915 Dispose of him. 296 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,112 Then you will have proven yourself. 297 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,748 Now go. 298 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,197 Commander! 299 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,878 If you ever touch me again... 300 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,475 ...I'll kill you. 301 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,668 The Romulans had gained possession of your DNA and created me. 302 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,113 And when I was ready, they were going to replace you with me. 303 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:25,075 Put a Romulan agent at the heart of Starfleet. It was a bold plan. 304 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,512 - What happened? - As happens frequently on Romulus, 305 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:34,271 a new government came to power and abandoned the plan. 306 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,190 They were afraid I'd be discovered and that it would lead to war. 307 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:48,116 - Not quite the face you remember. - Not quite. 308 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:55,515 A lifetime of violence will do that. They broke my nose, my jaw. 309 00:37:55,720 --> 00:38:00,748 But so much is the same. The eyes. 310 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,509 - Surely you recognise the eyes? - Yes. 311 00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:10,511 Our eyes reflect our lives, don't they? And yours are so confident. 312 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:22,789 - So I'm not as tall as you expected? - I'd always hoped I might hit two metres. 313 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,389 As had I. 314 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,353 How did you end up on Remus? 315 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,036 They sent me there to die. 316 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:40,756 How could a mere human survive the dilithium mines? 317 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,398 Not that it mattered, as I was no longer part of their plans against the Federation. 318 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,999 In those terrible depths lived only the damned. Along with the Reman slaves, 319 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,510 I was condemned to unceasing labour and starvation 320 00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:59,917 under the brutal heel of the Romulan guards. 321 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,351 Only the strongest had any hope of survival. 322 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,518 I was only a child when they took me. 323 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,951 I didn't see the sun or the stars for ten years. 324 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,917 The only thing the Romulan guards hated more than the Remans... 325 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,872 ...was me. 326 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,189 But one man took pity on me, 327 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:34,351 the man that became my viceroy and protected me from the guards' cruelty. 328 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,472 He taught me how to survive. 329 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,832 And in that dark place, where there was nothing of myself, 330 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,157 I found my Reman brothers. 331 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,593 They showed me the only kindness I've ever known. 332 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:57,389 - This is all to liberate the Remans? - The single thought behind all I've done. 333 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,991 From secretly building the Scimitar to assembling my army. 334 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,035 Finally coming to Romulus, in force. I knew they'd never give us freedom. 335 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:10,870 - I would have to take it! - But how many Romulans died for it? 336 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:18,876 Too many. But finally the Empire is realising that there is a better way. 337 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,913 And that way is peace. 338 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,189 - You don't trust me. - I have no reason to. 339 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,712 You have every reason. If you had lived my life, 340 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,869 and experienced the suffering of my people, you'd be standing where I am. 341 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,119 If you'd lived mine, you'd understand my responsibility to the Federation. 342 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,950 I cannot allow my personal feelings to unduly influence my decisions. 343 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,993 All I have are my personal feelings! 344 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,676 I want to know what being human means. The Remans gave me a future. 345 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,112 - You can tell me about my past. - I can tell you about mine. 346 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,996 - Were we Picards always warriors? - I think of myself as an explorer. 347 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,715 Well, were we always explorers? 348 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,673 I was the first Picard to leave our system. 349 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,357 It caused quite a stir in the family, 350 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,235 but I'd spent my youth... 351 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,638 Looking at the stars, dreaming about what was up there, about... 352 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,234 New worlds. 353 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:52,915 I'm trying to believe you. 354 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,153 If there is one ideal the Federation holds most dear, 355 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,354 it is that all men, all races, can be united. 356 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,156 What better example? 357 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,354 A Starfleet captain standing in the Romulan Senate. 358 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:25,996 Nothing would make me more proud than to take your hand in friendship. 359 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,069 In time. When trust has been earned. 360 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,468 - Sir, the main computer was accessed. - Source? 361 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:46,277 It'll take time to figure out. The data stream was re-routed all over the ship. 362 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,553 - What was accessed? - That's what I can't figure out. 363 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:56,630 It's mostly basic stellar cartography: Star charts, protocols, colony uplinks. 364 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,913 - It's not even restricted material. - We must still learn the source. 365 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:06,990 Captain, there's something else. I was reviewing the sensor logs. Look! 366 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:14,318 When the Scimitar de-cloaked, there was a spike in the tertiary EM band. 367 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,876 You're not going to believe this. It's Thalaron. 368 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,198 - I thought Thalaron radiation was theory. - That's why initial scans missed it. 369 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,958 He's got it. 370 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,119 Research was banned in the Federation because Thalaron is biogenic. 371 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,199 It can consume organic material at the subatomic level. 372 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,279 I can't overestimate the danger of Thalaron radiation. 373 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,439 A microscopic amount could kill all of us in seconds. 374 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:50,351 Understood. I want to know what he has and how we can neutralise any threat. 375 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,393 I need options. 376 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,431 This was a mistake. We're wasting time. 377 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,556 My time. And I'll spend it how I choose. 378 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:20,598 Do not forget our mission, Shinzon. We must act. Now! 379 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:31,631 We'll return to the Scimitar. I was merely curious about him. 380 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:46,709 Come. 381 00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:51,153 Come in. 382 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,750 Remember him? 383 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,119 - He was a bit cocky as I recall. - He was a damned fool. 384 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,472 Selfish. Ambitious. Very much in need of seasoning. 385 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,797 He turned out all right. 386 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,636 I really wanted to believe Shinzon. 387 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:22,312 But this Thalaron radiation just can't be explained away. 388 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,471 Whatever he's after, it isn't peace. 389 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,638 Is he very much the way you were? 390 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,596 Oh, yes. 391 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,314 - Data to Captain Picard. - Go ahead. 392 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,597 We have identified the source of the unauthorised computer access. 393 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,598 We have found a tactical advantage. 394 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,313 On my way. 395 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,472 Will? 396 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,719 As ship's counsellor, I recommend you get some sleep. 397 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,593 Some honeymoon! 398 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,238 Come to bed. 399 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,877 Imzadi. 400 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,759 Imzadi. 401 00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:52,837 He can never know you as I can.

They won't make it out of the Neutral Zone. 497 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:10,391 In two days, the Federation will be crippled beyond repair. 498 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,758 Satisfied? 499 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,551 - For the moment. - And when I return 500 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:23,949 you and I shall have a little talk about showing proper respect! 501 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,271 What's happening to his face? 502 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,114 Commander, a moment. 503 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,635 Are you prepared to have your hands drenched in blood? 504 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:52,153 He's not planning to defeat Earth.

I drew one conclusion. 507 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,269 Shinzon was created with temporal RNA sequencing 508 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,631 so that his aging process could be accelerated 509 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,789 to reach your age more quickly and skip 30 years of his life. 510 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:26,154 But the sequencing wasn't activated, so his cellular structure is decaying. 511 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,955 - He's dying. - Dying? 512 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,789 - Can anything be done for him? - Only a complete transfusion 513 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,675 from the only donor with compatible DNA...

He's going after Earth. 537 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:09,555 - How can you be certain? - I know how he thinks. 538 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,196 Destroy humanity, you cripple the Federation. 539 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,439 - The Romulans invade. - No way of penetrating his cloak? 540 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,039 No. 541 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,795 He could be close to every Starfleet ship and they'd never know. 542 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:31,792 We do have one advantage. He needs your blood to live. 543 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:36,869 - He might come after you first. - I'm counting on it. 544 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,868 We've been ordered to sector 10-45 to meet our fleet. 545 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,674 - Strength in numbers. - So we hope. 546 01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:49,275 He must not be allowed to use that weapon. 547 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,631 All other concerns are secondary. 548 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,552 Understand? 549 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,795 Yes, sir. 550 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:11,990 All hands, battle stations. 551 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,154 Initiate the forcefield! 552 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,349 Captain's personal log. We're heading for Federation space at maximum warp. 553 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,439 The crew has responded with the dedication I've come to expect. 554 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:59,714 Like a thousand other commanders on other battlefields, I wait for the dawn. 555 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,954 How long? 556 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:31,870 A matter of hours... We must begin the procedure now. 557 01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,758 How long until we reach the Rift? 558 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,435 Seven minutes. 559 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,628 Data, what's our current position? 560 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,232 How soon until we reach the fleet? 561 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:19,390 At our current velocity, we will arrive at sector 10-45 in 40 minutes. 562 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,877 "For now we see but through a glass darkly." 563 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,317 - Sir? - He said he's a mirror. 564 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,556 - Of you, sir? - Yes. 565 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:44,030 I do not agree. Although you share the same genetic structure, 566 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,754 your life has created an individual. 567 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:52,839 If I had lived his life, is it possible that I would have rejected my humanity? 568 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,716 B-4 is identical to me, although his neural pathways are not as advanced. 569 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,832 Even if they were, he would not be me. 570 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:06,510 - How can you be sure? - I aspire, sir. To be better than I am. 571 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,508 B-4 does not. Nor does Shinzon. 572 01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:17,553 We are passing through the Bassen Rift. The projection will return. 573 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,640 It's interfering with our uplink? 574 01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,638 The Rift affects all long-range... 575 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,717 Evasive manoeuvres! 576 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:39,710 Target weapons systems and shields.

We can't get a lock. 579 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,673 He hit our warp drive. We're on impulse. 580 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,670 Full phaser spread, zero elevation!
