We're caught in some energy distortion. 40 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,119 Two ships in our... trapped in a severe gravimetric distortion. 41 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:18,793 We can't break free, we need help. It's tearing us apart. 42 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,593 The Lakul is one of two ships flying El Aurian refugees to Earth. 43 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,794 - Can you locate them? - They are bearing at 310/205. 44 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,596 Distance: three light years. 45 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,350 Signal the closest starship.

They won't survive much longer. 55 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,068 We're encountering severe gravimetric distortions from the energy ribbon. 56 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,673 - We'll have to keep our distance. - Tractor beam ... 57 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,910 We don't have one.

We'll try to establish what ship they're from. 188 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:46,389 - But why did they attackthe station? - They practically tore the place apart. 189 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:52,391 Accessed the computer, turned the place inside out, looking for something. 190 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,833 This could signify a new Romulan threat in this sector. 191 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,878 - Inform Starfleet Command. - You want me to contact Starfleet? 192 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,392 - Is there a problem? - No, sir. 193 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:14,916 One of the scientists, a Dr Soran, insisted on speaking with you. 194 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,591 I told him you were busy, but he said it was imperative. 195 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,509 Understood. That will be all. 196 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,879 - Sir, is there anything ...? - No, thank you. 197 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,200 Gentlemen.

It is revolting. - More? 206 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,197 I'm looking for a Dr Soran from the observatory. 207 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:11,919 Dr Soran. I understand there's something urgent you wish to discuss. 208 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:19,071 I must return and continue a critical experiment on the Amargosa Star. 209 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:25,196 When our investigation is complete, you and your colleagues can return. 210 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,918 - Until then, there's nothing I can do. - Timing is crucial to my experiments. 211 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,910 If it's not completed in 12 hours, years of research will be lost. 212 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,510 We're doing the best we can. 213 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,278 They say time is the fire in which we burn. 214 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,635 Right now, my time is running out. 215 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,759 We leave so many things unfinished in our lives. 216 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:04,033 I know you understand. 217 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,352 I'll see what I can do. 218 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,759 We've studied the Romulans' tricorder. 219 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,988 They were scanning for signature particles of the compound trilithium. 220 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,194 It's an experiment the Romulans have been working on, a nuclear inhibitor. 221 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,509 It could stop all fusion within a star, but the Romulans haven't stabilised it. 222 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,508 Why look for it on a Federation observatory? 223 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,395 - I do not know. - Send Geordi and Data over there. 224 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,388 Tell them to scan for trilithium. 225 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,999 There's no sign of any trilithium over here. 226 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,354 - I get it! I get it! - You get what? 227 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,076 When you said to Riker: 'The clown can stay, - 228 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,229 - but the Ferengi in the gorilla suit has to go." 229 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:56,710 During the Farpoint mission. You told a joke, and that was the punch line. 230 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,836 - That was seven years ago. - I know. I just got it! 231 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,475 Very funny. 232 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:29,596 Wait. There's a hidden door. I can see the separation with my visor. 233 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,954 There's a dampening field in operation. I can't scan beyond the bulkhead. 234 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:42,911 - No control panel or access port. - It must be magnetically sealed. 235 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,595 I can reverse the polarity by attenuating my axial servo. 236 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,070 Open, Sesame. 237 00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:08,033 You could say I have a magnetic personality. 238 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,473 Humour, I love it! 239 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,751 Data, come take a look at this. 240 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,276 Have you ever seen a solar probe like this? 241 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,359 No, Geordi, I have not. Have you? 242 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,678 No, it is most unusual. 243 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,599 Mr Tricorder. 244 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:58,111 - Just help me get these panels open. - Make it so. 245 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,071 My visor's picking up something in the theta band. A trilithium signature? 246 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:18,189 - We don't have time for this. - I can't help it. Something is wrong. 247 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,388 Data? 248 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,312 Data, are you all right? 249 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,913 The emotion chip has overloaded my positronic relay. 250 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,477 We'd better get you back. LaForge to Enterprise. 251 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,437 - LaForge to Enterprise. - Is there a problem? 252 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:04,909 The dampening field is blocking our Com signal. Can you shut it off? 253 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,157 I'd be only too happy to. 254 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,949 Please ... 255 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,551 Do not hurt me.

Is there something I can do for you? 258 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,435 - Can I do anything for you? - It's just family matters. 259 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,515 You never met my brother and his wife, did you? 260 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:10,678 Robert. 261 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:18,713 So opinionated. Pompous and arrogant. He always had to have the last word. 262 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:25,000 But he mellowed a little bit in the last few years. 263 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,678 I was going to meet them next month and maybe go to San Francisco. 264 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:37,955 - Rene wants to see Starfleet Academy. - Rene? Oh, your nephew. 265 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,153 He's so unlike his father. 266 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,750 He's a dreamer. Imaginative ... 267 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,678 He's so very gentle. 268 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,836 What's happened? 269 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,870 Robert and Rene ... 270 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,238 ... burned to death in a fire. 271 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,030 - I'm sorry. - It's all right. These things happen. 272 00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:21,438 Captain, it's not all right. 273 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:29,638 I can't help think about all the experiences Rene's not going to have. 274 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:36,791 Not going to the Academy, listening to music and falling in love. 275 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,353 Building a life. 276 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:49,398 Well, it's not going to happen now. 277 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,239 I didn't realise he meant so much to you. 278 00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:01,833 Rene was as close as I would get to having a child of my own. 279 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,635 Your family history is very important to you, isn't it? 280 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:29,759 From being a boy, I can remember hearing about the family line. 281 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:35,592 The Picard who fought at Trafalgar. The Picard who won the Nobel Prize. 282 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:40,430 The Picards who settled the first Martian colonies. 283 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:47,437 When Robert married and he had a son, I ... 284 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,471 You felt it wasn't your responsibility to carry on the family line. 285 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,431 Right. That's it exactly. 286 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:09,873 Recently I've become aware that there are fewer days ahead than behind. 287 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:16,792 But I took some comfort from the fact that the family would go on. 288 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:25,036 But nowthere'll be no more Picards. 289 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,514 - Report. - A quantum implosion in Amargosa. 290 00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:45,635 - All nuclear fusion is breaking down. - How is that possible? 291 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,038 The observatory launched a solar probe into the sun a few moments ago. 292 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:55,758 - The star will collapse in minutes. - It has produced a level 12 shock wave. 293 00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:02,672 - That'll destroy this entire system. - I can't locate LaForge or Data. 294 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,509 - Have they returned? - No. 295 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:13,038 - When will the wave hit it? - In four minutes, 40 seconds. 296 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,109 Soran, transmlt your co-ordinates. 297 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,553 What the hell's he doing? 298 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:51,675 - You have two minutes left. - You hear that, Soran? 299 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,953 We've got a level 12 shock wave coming in. We must get out of here! 300 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:04,071 Sir, a Klingon "Bird of Prey" is de-cloaking off the port bow. 301 00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:24,068 - Data, see if you can get to Geordi. - I cannot, sir. 302 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,032 Report for transport. 303 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,831 - Commander Riker's team is aboard. - Warp one, engage! 304 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,592 You've done it, Soran. 305 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,354 Wait! 306 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:30,079 I hope for your sake you were initiating a mating ritual. 307 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,274 You got careless. The Romulans came looking for their trilithium. 308 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,395 Impossible. We left no survivors on their outpost. 309 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:46,357 If the Enterprise hadn't intervened, they'd have found it at the observatory. 310 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:51,350 They didn't find it! And now we have a weapon of unlimited power. 311 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:57,430 No, Lursa. I have the weapon, and if you want me to give it to you, - 312 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:02,475 - I would advise you to be a little more careful in the future. 313 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,036 Perhaps we are tired of waiting. 314 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:11,109 Without my research, the trilithium is worthless. 315 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:17,270 As are your plans to re-conquer the Klingon Empire. 316 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:26,111 Set course for the Veridian system. Maximum warp. 317 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:37,188 He's an El Aurian. Over 300 years old. He lost his entire family - 318 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:43,589 - when the Borg destroyed his planet. He escaped aboard the ship "Lakul". 319 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,634 That ship was later destroyed by an energy ribbon. 320 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,833 But Soran and 46 others were rescued by the Enterprise-B. 321 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,670 - That was when James Kirk was killed. - I checked the Lakul's passenger list. 322 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,555 Guess who else was on board? 323 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:08,038 - I haven't thought of Soran in ages. - You remember him? 324 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:15,075 Guinan, you must tell me everything that you know. 325 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,638 We think Soran has developed a terrible weapon - 326 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,479 - with enough power to destroy ... 327 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:29,710 Soran doesn't care about weapons. He just wants to get back to the nexus. 328 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,515 What the nexus? 329 00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:40,239 The energy ribbon was not a random phenomenon travelling through space. 330 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,592 It's a doorway to another place that we call the nexus. 331 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,315 A place I've tried hard to forget. 332 00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:58,391 What happened to you? 333 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,913 It was like being inside joy. 334 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:11,753 As if joy was a blanket you could wrap yourself up in. 335 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,829 Never in my entire life have I ever been as content. 336 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:23,114 - And then you were beamed away. - Pulled. Ripped away. 337 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:30,829 None of us wanted to go. I would have done anything to get backthere. 338 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,516 But I realised it wasn't possible. 339 00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:44,717 - What about Soran? - If he's still obsessed, he's dangerous. 340 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,912 Why would he destroy a star? 341 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,951 Thank you, Guinan. 342 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:04,228 If you go, you're not going to care about anything. 343 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:12,590 Not this ship, not Soran, nothing. You'll just want to stay in the nexus. 344 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,913 And you're not going to want to come back. 345 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:38,310 Marvellous technology. This is a remarkable piece of equipment. 346 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:44,914 - I'm glad you approve. - Not very stylish, though. 347 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:52,437 Have you ever considered a prosthesis that would make you look ... 348 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,598 ... more normal? 349 00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:01,557 - What's normal? - That's a good question. 350 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,072 Normal is what everyone else is and you are not. 351 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,230 Get down to it. What do you want? 352 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:18,230 As you may be aware, I am an El Aurian. 353 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,513 We are a race of listeners. We listen. 354 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:28,595 Right now you have my complete attention. 355 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,476 I want to listen to everything you know about trilithium. 356 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,517 Captain's log, Stardate 48632.4. 357 00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:46,192 Data's emotion chip has been fused into his neural net. 358 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:51,428 However, he is fiit for duty and is joining me in Stellar Cartography. 359 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,713 The ribbon is a conflux of temporal energy - 360 00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:01,038 - which travels through here every 39.1 years. 361 00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:04,755 It will pass through this sector in 42 hours. 362 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,556 Guinan was right. Soran is trying to get back to the ribbon. 363 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,719 What's the connection with the Amargosa star? 364 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:20,075 Give me a list of anything that was affected by the star's destruction. 365 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,319 - Data? - Sorry, sir. 366 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,672 It will take the computer a few moments to compile the information. 367 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,796 Data, are you all right? 368 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:44,995 No, sir. I am finding it difficult to concentrate. 369 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:50,752 I am overwhelmed with feelings of remorse ... 370 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:56,512 ... regret concerning my actions at the observatory. 371 00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:04,434 I wanted to save Geordi, but experienced something unexpected. 372 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:11,236 Fear. I was afraid. 373 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:20,278 The destruction of the star has had the following effects in this sector. 374 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,951 Gamma emissions have increased by .05%. 375 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,995 The starship Bozeman altered course. Ambient magnetic fields ... 376 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,476 Wait. Why would the Bozeman alter course? 377 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:38,595 The destruction of the star has altered the gravitational forces in the sector. 378 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:43,920 Any ship passing through would have to make a minor course correction. 379 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:49,319 Minor course correction ... Where's the ribbon now? 380 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:02,154 - This is its current position. - Can you project its course? 381 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,717 Captain ... 382 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:18,072 I can't go on. I wish to be deactivated until the emotion chip can be removed. 383 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:25,197 - Are you having a malfunction? - No, I just can't control these emotions. 384 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:30,838 I have nothing but sympathy for what you are feeling, but right now ... 385 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,956 I no longer want these emotions! Deactivating me is the only solution. 386 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:43,508 Part of having feelings is learning to live with them, Data. 387 00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:47,759 You will not be deactivated. 388 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:54,149 I require you to perform your duty as an officer. That is an order! 389 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,078 I will try, sir. 390 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:11,429 Sometimes it takes courage to try. Courage can be an emotion, too. 391 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:17,590 - Can you project the ribbon's course? - I believe so. 392 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:24,676 Enhance Grid 9-A. 393 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,715 Where was the Amargosa star? 394 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:36,590 The destruction of the star affected the gravitational forces in this sector. 395 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,713 Did the computer project the ribbon's course accordingly? 396 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,675 No, sir. I'll make the appropriate adjustments. 397 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,475 Soran's changing the course of the ribbon. 398 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:58,109 But why change its path? Why not fly into it with a ship? 399 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,269 Every ship that has approached the ribbon has been destroyed or damaged. 400 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,198 He's trying to make the ribbon come to him. 401 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:17,316 - Does it pass any M-class planets? - Yes, sir. 402 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:23,993 - There are two in the Veridian system. - Veridian 3 isn't close enough. 403 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:31,914 Would the ribbon's course be affected if Soran destroyed the Veridian star? 404 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,393 That's where he's going. 405 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,230 The collapse of the Veridian star would produce a shock wave - 406 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,352 - similar to the one at Amargosa. 407 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:52,156 Destroying all planets in this system. 408 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,557 Veridian 3 is uninhabited. 409 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,799 However, Veridian 4 supports a pre-industrial humanoid society. 410 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,151 Population? 411 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:07,911 230 million, sir. 412 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:15,148 Picard to bridge. Set a course for the Veridian system, maximum warp. 413 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:44,839 - Did you get anything from the human? - No. His heart just wasn't in it. 414 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,910 We have entered orbit of Veridian 3. 415 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:57,832 - Prepare to transport me there. - When do we get our payment? 416 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:10,992 This contains all the information you need to make a trilithium weapon. 417 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:16,320 It's been coded. Once I'm safely to the surface, - 418 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,877 - I'll transmit the decryption sequence to you. 419 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,835 - A Federation starship is approaching. - What? On viewer. 420 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,357 - They're hailing us. - They can't see us. 421 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:39,033 Klingon vessel. We'll crush any probe launched toward the Veridian star. 422 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:43,438 Return our chief engineer and leave this system immediately. 423 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,837 There's no time for this. Eliminate them. 424 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,999 That's a galaxy class starship. We're no match for them. 425 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,275 It's time we gave Mr LaForge his sight back. 426 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,351 Maybe they're not out there. 427 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:13,759 They're trying to decide if a 20-year-old Klingon ship can beat our flagship. 428 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,270 Perhaps they're on the surface. 429 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,632 A solar probe launched from the Klingon ship or the planet - 430 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:26,231 - will reach the sun in 11 seconds. Since we don't have a point of origin - 431 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:33,073 - it'll take us 8-15 seconds to lock our weapons onto it. 432 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,637 - When will the ribbon arrive? - In 47 minutes. 433 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:44,313 - We must get to Soran. - Klingon vessel de-cloaking ahead. 434 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,755 - They are hailing. - On screen. 435 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:57,876 - What an unexpected pleasure. - I must speak with Soran. 436 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,958 He is no longer aboard our ship. 437 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:06,393 - Then I will beam to his location. - The doctor values his privacy. 438 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,878 He would be alarmed If an armed away team interrupted him. 439 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:16,757 - Then I'll beam to your ship. - They might kill you. 440 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:23,035 - Your engineer is a guest of ours. - Then return him! 441 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,233 - In exchange for what? - Me, sir. 442 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:34,471 Me. I'll be your prisoner. But first beam me to where Soran is. 443 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:40,994 The captain would make a much more valuable hostage. 444 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:47,717 - We'll consider It a prisoner exchange. - Agreed. 445 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,913 Have Dr Crusher meet me in Transporter Room 3. 446 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:02,518 - Receiving the co-ordinates. - Energise. 447 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,835 Welcome, Captain. 448 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:52,279 - You must think me a madman. - The thought had crossed my mind. 449 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:58,032 I know why you're here. You're not sure you can shoot down my probe. 450 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:04,110 So you've come to dissuade me from my horrific plan. Good luck. 451 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,910 Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm rather busy. 452 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,634 Soran ... 453 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:24,273 That's a 50-gigawatt force field. I wouldn't want to see you get hurt. 454 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:30,237 - I have established the link. - Put it on viewer. 455 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,673 It's working. The visor's transmitting. 456 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,030 Where is he? 457 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,951 Human females are so repulsive. 458 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:55,278 There's myocardial degeneration. I've removed the nano-probe - 459 01:00:55,480 --> 01:01:01,749 - and you'll be fine. I need to run some more tests. 460 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:10,438 - Data, it's okay. - I am sorry I let you down. 461 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:16,078 - I have not been behaving like myself. - No, you haven't. 462 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:20,717 You've been behaving like a human. 463 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:43,029 Don't do it. We can find another way of getting you into this nexus. 464 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:48,032 I've spent 80 years looking for another way. 465 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,869 Believe me, this is the only one. 466 01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:01,909 What you're doing is just as bad as when the Borg destroyed your world. 467 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:09,276 They killed millions, too. Including your wife and children. 468 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,950 Nice try. 469 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:29,439 There was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came. 470 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:36,398 They showed me that there is one constant in this universe ... death. 471 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:45,234 We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when. 472 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:51,709 You will too, Captain. Aren't you beginning to feel time gaining on you? 473 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,992 Like a predator, it's stalking you. 474 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:05,834 You can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, newtechnologies, - 475 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:10,955 - but time will hunt you down and make the kill. 476 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,836 Our mortality defines us. It's part of the truth of our existence. 477 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:24,713 - I found a newtruth. - The nexus? 478 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:29,994 Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth. 479 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:38,032 - Where is he now? - He bathed. Now he's roaming the ship. 480 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:43,476 He's the only engineer in Starfleet who doesn't go to Engineering. 481 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:48,196 - Any luck? - I cannot locate the captain. 482 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:55,511 The sensors can't reach the planet. Can you scan for life forms? 483 01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:02,068 I'd be happy to, sir. I just love scanning for life forms. 484 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,354 Llfe forms ... 485 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,996 you tiny little llfe forms 486 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:15,718 you precious little llfe forms where are you? 487 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:24,589 Finally. 488 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:31,319 I'll run a diagnostic on the port plasma relays. The generator's fluctuating. 489 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,590 Fine. 490 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,717 That's it! Replay from time index 924. 491 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,190 Magnify this section and enhance. 492 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:08,630 - Shield modulation: 257.4. - Adjust torpedo frequency to match. 493 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:23,271 - They've penetrated our shields. - Lock phasers and return fire! 494 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:35,913 - Take the helm. Get us out of orbit! - Hull breach on decks 31-35. 495 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:47,790 - Any weaknesses in that old ship? - It's a Class D-12 Bird of Prey. 496 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:52,755 - Notorious for defective plasma coils. - Can we take advantage of that? 497 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:57,192 I don't see how. The plasma coil is part of their cloaking device. 498 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,912 Get a stabiliser on that conduit. 499 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:11,352 Reinforce starboard interlock. Re-route power through secondary coupling. 500 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:16,754 Data, would a defective plasma coil be susceptible to an ionic pulse? 501 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:23,991 Yes, it might reset the coil and trigger their cloaking device. Excellent idea! 502 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,831 - Then their shields will drop. - They'll be vulnerable for two seconds. 503 01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:33,874 - Lock on the plasma coil. - No problem. 504 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,791 - Our shields are holding. - Fire at will. 505 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:46,199 Prepare a spread of photon torpedoes. We must hit them when they cloak. 506 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,073 Target their primary reactor. 507 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:58,517 - I'm initiating ionic pulse. - Make it quick! 508 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:11,518 - Target their bridge. - We are cloaking. 509 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,269 Our shields are down! 510 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,232 Fire! 511 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:51,518 Yes! 512 01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,869 Haven't you got anything better to do? 513 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:22,948 It must have been that last torpedo. It ruptured the magnetic interlocks. 514 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:32,273 Coolant leak! Let's get out of here. Move! 515 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:40,479 Bridge, we're five minutes from a warp core breach. 516 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:48,355 Evacuate everyone to the saucer section. Prepare to separate the ship. 517 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:55,514 Starship separation in fiive minutes. 518 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,669 Let's move him out. 519 01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,789 Starship separation in 4 minutes, 30 seconds. 520 01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:31,196 Starship separation in 4 minutes, 15 seconds. 521 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,958 Farrell! 522 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,835 Get these kids to the W-tube. We'll find the parents later. 523 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,589 Starship separation in four minutes. 524 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,828 You'll have to excuse me. 525 01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:19,989 I have an appointment with eternity and I don't want to be late. 526 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,757 The core breach is accelerating.

This can't be real. 549 01:22:21,440 --> 01:22:29,074 - It's as real as you want it to be. - Guinan. What's going on? 550 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:34,070 - Why am I here? - You're in the nexus. 551 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:39,877 - This is the nexus? - For you.

But these are all mine. 554 01:22:55,600 --> 01:23:01,072 What are you doing here? I thought you were aboard the Enterprise. 555 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:09,358 I am. I'm also here. Think of me as an echo of the person you know. 556 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:15,476 - A part of herself she left behind. - When the Enterprise-B saved you ... 557 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:21,229 - Help me build my castle. - I will in a few minutes. 558 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:28,598 Papa, thank you for the dolly.

You can go back and see them born, - 561 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:47,515 - or go forward and see your grandchildren. 562 01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,553 Dinner's ready. 563 01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,160 Dinner's ready, Papa. 564 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:29,871 Go on.

I'm there already. 570 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:20,597 But I know someone who can. 571 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,670 And from his point of view, he just got here, too. 572 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:39,908 Kirk ... James T. Kirk. 573 01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,559 Beautiful day. 574 01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:52,877 Yes, it certainly is. 575 01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,117 Would you mind? 576 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,798 Captain, I'm wondering, do you realise ...? 577 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,074 Hold on. Do you smell something burning? 578 01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:33,559 Looks like somebody was trying to cook some eggs. Come on in. 579 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,788 It's all right. It's my house. 580 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:46,354 At least it used to be. I sold it years ago. 581 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:53,478 I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship ... Enterprise. 582 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,398 The clock ... 583 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,236 I gave this clockto Bones. 584 01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:11,118 I'm from what you would consider the future. The 24th century. 585 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,632 Butler! 586 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:28,317 How can you be here? He's been dead seven years. 587 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:33,753 Jim, I'm starving. How long are you going to rattle around in that kltchen? 588 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,713 Antonia. 589 01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:44,438 What are you talking about? The future? 590 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:50,351 This is the past. Nine years ago. 591 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:10,513 The day I told her I was going back to Starfleet. 592 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:25,555 Ktarian eggs, her favourite. I was preparing them to soften the blow. 593 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:31,437 I know how real this must seem to you. But it's not. 594 01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:37,636 This isn't really your house. We're caught up in some temporal nexus. 595 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:45,837 Dill. Dill weed. In the cabinet, second shelf to the left. 596 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,429 Behind the oregano. 597 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:59,799 - How long have you been here? - I don't know. 598 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:06,314 I was aboard the Enterprise-B in the deflector control room ... Stir these. 599 01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:11,036 The bulkhead disappeared and then I found myself out there chopping wood - 600 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:16,075 - right before you walked up Thanks. 601 01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,512 Look, history records - 602 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:27,398 - that you died saving the Enterprise-B from an energy ribbon 80 years ago. 603 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,273 This is the 24th century? 604 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,839 - And I'm dead? - No, this is some kind of ... 605 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:42,115 ... temporal nexus. Something is missing. 606 01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:52,992 I need your help. Leave the nexus with me. 607 01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:57,796 We have to go back to Veridian 3 and stop a man called Soran - 608 01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:03,233 - from destroying a star. Millions of lives are at stake. 609 01:30:03,440 --> 01:30:07,399 History considers me dead. Who am I to argue with history? 610 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,070 - You are a Starfleet officer! You have a duty! - I don't need to be lectured by you. 611 01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:15,751 I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. 612 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:20,715 Besides, I think the galaxy owes me one. 613 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:25,591 All right ... 614 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:33,789 I was like you once. Completely blinded by duty and obligation. 615 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:41,312 And what did it get me? An empty house. 616 01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:49,396 Not this time. 617 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:54,037 This time I'm going to march into that bedroom - 618 01:30:54,240 --> 01:31:00,349 - and tell Antonia I want to marry her. This time it's going to be different. 619 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:31,996 - This is not your bedroom. - No, it's better. 620 01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:36,557 - Better? - This is my uncle's barn in Idaho. 621 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:42,869 I took this horse out for a ride 11 years ago on a spring day. 622 01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:52,356 Like this one. If I'm right, this is the day I met Antonia. 623 01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:59,432 This nexus is very clever. I can start over and do things right from day one. 624 01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:36,672 I must have jumped that 50 times. Scared the hell out of me each time. 625 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,758 Except this time. 626 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:43,191 Because it isn't real. 627 01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:50,831 - Antonia. - She isn't real either, is she? 628 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:55,113 Nothing here is. Nothing here matters. 629 01:33:56,280 --> 01:34:03,960 Maybe this is more about that empty chair on the bridge of the Enterprise. 630 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:10,076 Ever since I left Starfleet I haven't made a difference. 631 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:25,391 Captain of the Enterprise? Close to retirement? 632 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,831 - I'm not planning on it. - Don't. 633 01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:33,830 Don't let them promote or transfer you. Don't let them do anything - 634 01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:39,194 - that takes you off that ship. Because there you can make a difference. 635 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:45,469 Come back and help me stop Soran. Make a difference again. 636 01:34:56,920 --> 01:35:00,879 Who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise? 637 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:06,837 Veridian 3? I take it the odds are against us and the situation is grim. 638 01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:10,430 You could say that. 639 01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:15,794 Spock would say I was an irrational, illogical human being - 640 01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:19,709 - for taking on a mission like that. 641 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,275 Sounds like fun. 642 01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:41,597 I've re-routed auxiliary power to lateral thrusters to level our descent. 643 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:43,995 Brace for impact! 644 01:36:25,480 --> 01:36:30,600 - Just who the hell are you? - He's James T. Kirk. 645 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:34,270 Don't you read history? 646 01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,831 I've got to get to the launcher. 647 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:45,158 - The ribbon will be here in a minute. - I'll take care of Soran. 648 01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:25,353 Actually, I am familiar with history. If I'm not mistaken, you're dead. 649 01:38:07,440 --> 01:38:11,831 - Weren't you heading for the launcher? - I changed my mind. 650 01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,836 We need that control pad. 651 01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:45,270 Captain, look. 652 01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,430 Where's Soran? 653 01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:55,872 We're running out of time. The control pad is still on the other side. 654 01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:00,517 - I'll get it. You go for the launcher. - No, we have to worktogether. 655 01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:04,918 - We are working together. Trust me. - Good luck, Captain. 656 01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:08,396 Call me Jim. 657 01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:42,319 Picard!

We made a difference. Thank you. 661 01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:41,710 It's the least I could do ... for the captain of the Enterprise. 662 01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:54,189 It was ... fun. 663 01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:07,837 Oh, my. 664 01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:28,910 Captain's log, Stardate 48650. 1. 665 01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:34,513 Three Starfleet vessels have come to beam up the Enterprise survivors. 666 01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:40,556 Our casualties were light, but the Enterprise herself can't be salvaged. 667 01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:46,835 - It has been extremely difficult. - Then why not have the chip removed? 668 01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:52,068 At first, I was unprepared for the unpredictable nature of emotions. 669 01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:56,796 However, having experienced 261 emotional states, - 670 01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:02,472 - I believe I have learned to control my feelings. They won't control me. 671 01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,309 I hope you're successful. 672 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,512 Data, I found something. 673 01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,437 One life sign, very faint. 674 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:29,190 Spot! 675 01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:33,598 I'm very happy to see you, Spot. 676 01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:40,236 Another family reunited. 677 01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:46,228 Data, are you all right? 678 01:46:46,440 --> 01:46:51,309 I am uncertain, Councillor. I am happy to see Spot, - 679 01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:57,959 - yet I am crying. Perhaps the chip is malfunctioning. 680 01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:04,159 I think it's working perfectly. 681 01:47:09,440 --> 01:47:11,237 Hello, Spot. 682 01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:20,398 Is this it? 683 01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:25,833 Yes, that's it, Number One. Thank you. 684 01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:36,277 I'm going to miss this ship. She went before her time. 685 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:43,278 Someone once said that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. 686 01:47:43,480 --> 01:47:48,315 I believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey - 687 01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:54,356 - and reminds us to cherish every moment, for they'll never come again. 688 01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:02,428 What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. 689 01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:06,519 After all, we're only mortal. 690 01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:11,794 Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever. 691 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:19,675 I always thought I'd get a shot at this chair one day. 692 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:22,189 Perhaps you still will. 693 01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:27,872 I doubt this will be the last ship to carry the name Enterprise. 694 01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:39,790 Picard to Farragut. Two to beam up. 695 01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:03,595 Subtitles - IFT A/S
