So far, 117 are confirmed dead.
179
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:58,293
COMPUTER:
Secure channel open.
180
00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:00,251
Sorry to bother you.
181
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:02,863
Just thought we could have
another chat.
182
00:10:02,863 --> 00:10:04,952
You...
183
00:10:07,781 --> 00:10:10,958
You sent me undercover
to find whoever stole
184
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:12,960
experimental weapons
from Daystrom
185
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,832
and stop them
before they could use them.
186
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:17,704
And, well...
187
00:10:20,141 --> 00:10:23,100
...here we are.
188
00:10:25,189 --> 00:10:28,236
117 confirmed.
189
00:10:28,236 --> 00:10:32,588
117 that could've been avoided
had I been faster.
190
00:10:32,588 --> 00:10:33,937
Do not seek blame.
191
00:10:33,937 --> 00:10:36,070
Do not seek anger.
192
00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:39,421
I have to keep digging,
find out who did this.
193
00:10:39,421 --> 00:10:41,336
Starfleet Command
is terminating
194
00:10:41,336 --> 00:10:43,425
investigation
until further notice.
195
00:10:43,425 --> 00:10:44,644
Suspect identified.
196
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,254
What are you talking about?
197
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:50,867
What, the press,
the intel reports?
198
00:10:50,867 --> 00:10:53,174
They're pawning this off
on Lurak t'Luco?
199
00:10:53,174 --> 00:10:55,045
A Romulan triggerman
who's never made it
200
00:10:55,045 --> 00:10:56,960
to anyone's most wanted list
201
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,527
goes through the trouble
of heisting
202
00:10:58,527 --> 00:11:01,486
an ultra-secure
off-site Daystrom facility?
203
00:11:01,486 --> 00:11:04,925
And steals some
world-ending portal tech
204
00:11:04,925 --> 00:11:07,144
and uses it to-to blow up,
of all things,
205
00:11:07,144 --> 00:11:10,495
a mid-level Starfleet
recruitment bureau?
206
00:11:10,495 --> 00:11:11,801
And even if he did do it,
207
00:11:11,801 --> 00:11:13,194
he's not the one
who stole the weapon.
208
00:11:13,194 --> 00:11:15,587
He purchased it
on the black market.
209
00:11:15,587 --> 00:11:18,765
There's a redacted statement
from a lowlife
210
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:21,202
Ferengi crime lord named Sneed.
211
00:11:21,202 --> 00:11:24,248
He said he brokered the sale
between an anonymous seller
212
00:11:24,248 --> 00:11:27,861
and t'Luco as the buyer, just,
you know, tidy, convenient.
213
00:11:27,861 --> 00:11:30,515
But it doesn't add up.
214
00:11:30,515 --> 00:11:32,692
I'm gonna need to speak
to that Ferengi.
215
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:36,391
Repeat: Starfleet Command
has terminated investigation.
216
00:11:36,391 --> 00:11:37,958
Disengage.
217
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:40,700
Disengage?
218
00:11:42,092 --> 00:11:43,528
No.
219
00:11:43,528 --> 00:11:44,921
Hell no.
220
00:11:44,921 --> 00:11:46,793
Sneed is lying.
221
00:11:46,793 --> 00:11:48,751
He's covering
for whoever really did this.
222
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:51,798
And 117 people are gone.
223
00:11:51,798 --> 00:11:53,408
118 should you continue.
224
00:11:53,408 --> 00:11:55,062
Do not join the dead.
225
00:11:55,062 --> 00:11:56,498
Why are you hamstringing me?
226
00:11:56,498 --> 00:11:58,500
What do you know
that I don't know?
227
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,328
Do not engage.
228
00:12:00,328 --> 00:12:02,678
Look, you're my handler, right?
Whoever you are?
229
00:12:02,678 --> 00:12:06,247
I am requesting
an in-person meet.
230
00:12:06,247 --> 00:12:08,075
Denied.
231
00:12:10,599 --> 00:12:15,256
Well, somebody needs
to speak for the dead.
232
00:12:15,256 --> 00:12:18,607
And since you're not
even gonna talk to me,
233
00:12:18,607 --> 00:12:20,261
I guess I'm on my own.
234
00:12:20,261 --> 00:12:23,307
I'm gonna find out from Sneed
who really did this.
235
00:12:33,622 --> 00:12:35,667
[indistinct chatter]
236
00:12:45,155 --> 00:12:47,549
Am I gonna need to confine you
to quarters?
237
00:12:47,549 --> 00:12:49,986
Lieutenant Mura detected
weapon system activity,
238
00:12:49,986 --> 00:12:53,642
presumably targeting
Picard's unarmed shuttle.
239
00:12:53,642 --> 00:12:56,123
So it will be so noted
in my report.
240
00:12:56,123 --> 00:12:59,213
Sir, they could die
if we don't help.
241
00:12:59,213 --> 00:13:01,606
Did you assist Captain Riker
and Admiral Picard
242
00:13:01,606 --> 00:13:03,217
in commandeering my shuttle?
243
00:13:03,217 --> 00:13:05,915
I am more than certain
they were able to find
244
00:13:05,915 --> 00:13:07,917
the shuttle bay
without assistance.
245
00:13:07,917 --> 00:13:09,440
Bullshit.
246
00:13:11,181 --> 00:13:15,490
Sir, you could be the hero
who saved heroes
247
00:13:15,490 --> 00:13:17,579
or you could be remembered
for being the captain
248
00:13:17,579 --> 00:13:20,887
who let two legends die.
249
00:13:20,887 --> 00:13:23,628
It's your call. Sir.
250
00:13:36,076 --> 00:13:38,774
Okay, so we've got no visuals,
251
00:13:38,774 --> 00:13:42,256
we've lost our escape
and help isn't coming.
252
00:13:42,256 --> 00:13:43,648
- Suggestions?
- Have they hailed us?
253
00:13:43,648 --> 00:13:45,128
Surrendering is an option.
254
00:13:45,128 --> 00:13:46,564
They haven't offered terms.
255
00:13:46,564 --> 00:13:48,088
Well, I could offer them
you two.
256
00:13:53,223 --> 00:13:55,573
Does the legendary admiral
have any ideas?
257
00:13:55,573 --> 00:13:58,402
I'm not strategizing,
I'm safeguarding.
258
00:13:58,402 --> 00:14:00,404
Against what?
259
00:14:09,544 --> 00:14:11,459
Against that.
260
00:14:11,459 --> 00:14:13,591
Transport inhibitors.
261
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,507
- Now we know.
- What?
262
00:14:16,507 --> 00:14:18,596
They want you.
263
00:14:18,596 --> 00:14:19,902
Alive.
264
00:14:19,902 --> 00:14:21,904
RIKER:
If they can't get you out,
265
00:14:21,904 --> 00:14:22,992
they're coming in.

ELEOS COMPUTER:

Hey, kid. Throw me one

Enemy transport countermeasures
269
00:14:30,957 --> 00:14:32,828
targeting docking bay.
270
00:14:38,921 --> 00:14:40,227
Any more incoming?
271
00:14:40,227 --> 00:14:41,445
PICARD:
No.
272
00:14:41,445 --> 00:14:43,099
Hopefully, they realize now
273
00:14:43,099 --> 00:14:44,927
that they're sending
their forces to their deaths.
274
00:14:44,927 --> 00:14:46,450
We're in a stalemate.
275

PICARD:
Tractor beam.

Hull breach on Deck 2.

RIKER:
If you get me enough power,
288
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:21,877
I think I can improvise
a beam repulsor.
289
00:15:21,877 --> 00:15:22,965
JACK:
Stop!
290
00:15:22,965 --> 00:15:24,314
It won't work.
291
00:15:24,314 --> 00:15:26,751
We don't have
repulsor capability.
292
00:15:26,751 --> 00:15:28,797
We've been limping by for weeks.
293
00:15:28,797 --> 00:15:30,712
It's pointless.
294
00:15:30,712 --> 00:15:32,932
They have us.

Well.

00:15:39,808 --> 00:15:41,897
It was nice meeting you.

00:15:44,769 --> 00:15:46,467
I've got movement

What the hell is that?
302
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:57,043
Sir, tractor beam is broken.
303
00:15:57,043 --> 00:15:58,653
Red alert. Helm, hold position.
304
00:15:58,653 --> 00:16:00,742
Bring those two back on board.
305
00:16:00,742 --> 00:16:03,179
Captain, I'm reading
four life signs.
306
00:16:03,179 --> 00:16:05,007
SHAW:
Bring them all on board.
307
00:16:05,007 --> 00:16:06,574
We're basically a hotel now.
308
00:16:06,574 --> 00:16:08,228
Get me a channel to the Eleos.
309
00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:10,099
This is the Titan.
Prepare to beam aboard.
310
00:16:10,099 --> 00:16:12,014
Not a moment too soon.

00:16:12,014 --> 00:16:13,885
- COMPUTER: Hull compromised.
- Tell her she better hurry up.
312
00:16:15,496 --> 00:16:18,064
Sir, the alien vessel
is preparing to fire!
313
00:16:18,064 --> 00:16:19,543
Esmar, get them
out of there now.
314
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:20,544
Something's wrong,
it's not working!
315
00:16:20,544 --> 00:16:22,155
I can't lock onto them.

What the hell
is that thing doing?

I don't know,
but it looks pissed.
318
00:16:24,853 --> 00:16:26,594
Picard, we can't get
a lock on you.

because I never thought
you'd actually answer.

Uh, n-no. No, thanks.

So, how you doing, Jae?
How's our son?

you ambushed him

Ambushed?

So that's what my son
thinks of me.

I know you're still connected.

- Goddamn it, Raffi.
- No, it's for work.
341
00:17:44,541 --> 00:17:46,848
I know you still turn a blind
eye to the shady business

that happens in the back room
of your bar,
343

to Sneed, the Ferengi broker.
345
00:17:52,636 --> 00:17:54,203
Are you out of your mind?
346
00:17:54,203 --> 00:17:55,726
You do realize that "broker"
347
00:17:55,726 --> 00:17:57,685
is just a polite word
for "gangster."
348
00:17:57,685 --> 00:17:59,121
He's a monster.
349
00:17:59,121 --> 00:18:02,168
It's important.
I wouldn't ask otherwise.
350
00:18:02,168 --> 00:18:03,908
I'm with Starfleet Intelligence,
351
00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:05,997
but they are blind
to something big.
352
00:18:05,997 --> 00:18:08,304
And they don't know it.
It is wrong.

When your head goes
to that place,
354

00:18:15,398 --> 00:18:18,097
that's when it all starts up.
356
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:22,275
The drugs,
the dark rabbit holes.
357
00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:24,625
How did you break away from it?
358
00:18:24,625 --> 00:18:27,193
- It was so easy for you.
- I made a choice.
359
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:30,631
And we had this...
this beautiful boy.
360
00:18:30,631 --> 00:18:32,154
So I chose...
361
00:18:32,154 --> 00:18:35,331
my son, my art.
362
00:18:35,331 --> 00:18:37,855
And that was enough for me.
363
00:18:37,855 --> 00:18:39,335
But not for you.
364
00:18:40,684 --> 00:18:44,645
Gabe pushes you away
because he remembers that.
365
00:18:46,603 --> 00:18:48,779
[sniffles]
366
00:18:48,779 --> 00:18:50,477
Sneed is protecting murderers.
367
00:18:50,477 --> 00:18:53,219
For some reason, Starfleet's
turning a blind eye.
368
00:18:53,219 --> 00:18:55,221
I'm the only one
who can do this.
369
00:18:55,221 --> 00:18:57,745
Damn.
370
00:18:57,745 --> 00:18:59,921
And I actually thought
you were here about Gabe.
371
00:18:59,921 --> 00:19:03,577
Thought maybe you'd want me
to put in a word with him.
372
00:19:03,577 --> 00:19:04,795
You'd do that?
373
00:19:04,795 --> 00:19:06,145
[laughs softly]
374
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:09,713
I could talk to Gabe.
375
00:19:09,713 --> 00:19:11,498
[laughs softly]
376
00:19:11,498 --> 00:19:14,283
Or I'll talk to Sneed,
but I will not do both.
377
00:19:14,283 --> 00:19:18,679
Right here, right now.
378
00:19:18,679 --> 00:19:21,377
Make a choice.
379
00:19:29,646 --> 00:19:30,908
Yeah.
380
00:19:32,258 --> 00:19:34,434
That's what I thought.
381
00:19:46,446 --> 00:19:48,404
[alarm sounding]
382
00:19:48,404 --> 00:19:49,884
Status report.
383
00:19:49,884 --> 00:19:52,147
We got all four.
Injured civilian was beamed
384
00:19:52,147 --> 00:19:56,107
directly to sick bay
and is unconscious but stable.
385
00:19:56,107 --> 00:19:58,849
Captain, I suggest
we get away, maximum warp.
386
00:19:58,849 --> 00:20:00,808
Not yet. We've engaged.
387
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:02,244
I want to know with who and why.
388
00:20:02,244 --> 00:20:04,246
[doors whoosh open]
389
00:20:04,246 --> 00:20:07,336
Oh, you boys
are in so much trouble.
390
00:20:07,336 --> 00:20:10,818
She said to trust nobody, and
you basically brought everyone.
391
00:20:10,818 --> 00:20:12,950
- ESMAR: Captain.
- Who the hell are you?
392
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:13,995
Can we just all take a breath?
393
00:20:13,995 --> 00:20:15,823
- Captain!
- ALL: What?
394
00:20:19,522 --> 00:20:21,176
We're being hailed.
395
00:20:23,004 --> 00:20:25,180
Let's see what you all
got us into.
396
00:20:26,355 --> 00:20:28,836
On screen.
397
00:20:30,794 --> 00:20:33,319
Good afternoon.
398
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,496
I believe it is afternoon
in Sol System. [chuckles]
399
00:20:38,411 --> 00:20:40,151
I am Captain Vadic.
400
00:20:40,151 --> 00:20:42,632
And you are, uh...
401
00:20:43,981 --> 00:20:46,549
...Captain Liam Shaw.
402
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:48,290
That's me.
403
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:49,944
I think it's important for you
to know that I was having
404
00:20:49,944 --> 00:20:51,380
a nice morning
before all of this.
405
00:20:51,380 --> 00:20:54,992
Ooh, that's lovely
to hear, Liam.
406
00:20:54,992 --> 00:20:57,168
Given your official
psychological profile
407
00:20:57,168 --> 00:20:59,170
with Starfleet,
408
00:20:59,170 --> 00:21:03,697
I'm so glad that you've
remained, uh, functional.
409
00:21:05,655 --> 00:21:09,224
You have been causing us
some concern, Captain.
410
00:21:09,224 --> 00:21:11,226
State your business.
411
00:21:11,226 --> 00:21:13,489
Oh.
412
00:21:13,489 --> 00:21:16,971
Admiral Jean-Luc Picard.
413
00:21:16,971 --> 00:21:19,756
In the synthetic flesh.
414
00:21:22,368 --> 00:21:25,849
You're harboring
one Jack Crusher.
415
00:21:25,849 --> 00:21:28,809
He's broken a number
of laws both inside
416
00:21:28,809 --> 00:21:31,638
and outside Federation space.
417
00:21:31,638 --> 00:21:36,251
There is a sizable bounty
on his head.
418
00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:38,688
And we are taking him.
419
00:21:40,255 --> 00:21:42,039
I hate to inform you
420
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:44,259
that Starfleet does not
negotiate with bounty hunters.
421
00:21:44,259 --> 00:21:47,610
Ooh, I see
you're having difficulty
422
00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:51,745
understanding
the situation. [laughs]
423
00:21:51,745 --> 00:21:56,097
May I remind you that you are
outside of your jurisdiction?
424
00:21:56,097 --> 00:22:00,362
But so you
may have clarification,
425
00:22:00,362 --> 00:22:05,106
I'll lower my shields
so that you can scan my ship.
426
00:22:07,282 --> 00:22:09,371
- Their shields are lowering.
- Weapons?
427
00:22:09,371 --> 00:22:11,417
MURA:
40 isolytic burst warheads,
428
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:15,029
88 plasma torpedoes,
429
00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:18,598
236 six photon torpedoes,
430
00:22:18,598 --> 00:22:20,077
18 antimatter missiles.
431
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:24,908
20 pulse wave,
432
00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:26,257
- 30 series five...
- I get it.
433
00:22:26,257 --> 00:22:28,390
And something...
434
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:31,088
loaded in primary position
in the bay, sir.
435
00:22:31,088 --> 00:22:32,786
Technology unknown.
436
00:22:32,786 --> 00:22:35,919
You have one hour
to hand over Jack Crusher.
437
00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:38,139
Turn your back to run,
438
00:22:38,139 --> 00:22:40,446
and the only way you'll see
the shot that kills you
439
00:22:40,446 --> 00:22:44,014
is through the hole
in your proverbial chest.
440
00:22:45,494 --> 00:22:47,931
Until then, enjoy
441
00:22:47,931 --> 00:22:51,848
this parting demonstration
of my intentions.
442
00:22:56,984 --> 00:22:58,638
[speaking alien language]
443
00:23:12,521 --> 00:23:14,697
Shields up. Evasive maneuvers!
444
00:23:31,497 --> 00:23:33,281
What did she just do?
445
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:36,763
She... threw a ship at us.
446
00:23:36,763 --> 00:23:38,068
Sir.
447
00:23:56,347 --> 00:23:58,306
SEVEN OF NINE:
It broke through our shields,
Captain,
448
00:23:58,306 --> 00:24:00,047
hit with enough force
that shrapnel
449
00:24:00,047 --> 00:24:02,005
tore the hull on Deck 11.
450
00:24:02,005 --> 00:24:03,920
How is that even possible?
451
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,269
Reverse tractor beam
with anti-gravitational
452
00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:07,097
polarity phasing.
453
00:24:07,097 --> 00:24:08,577
Basically, blunt force trauma.
454
00:24:08,577 --> 00:24:10,361
If my father taught me anything,
455
00:24:10,361 --> 00:24:12,102
there's no law of physics
that can't be either weaponized
456
00:24:12,102 --> 00:24:13,887
or broken by another law
of physics.
457
00:24:13,887 --> 00:24:15,715
Thank you, Ensign.
458
00:24:15,715 --> 00:24:20,459
So, we have 500 guns
pointed at our head.
459
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:22,504
We try to run, we are vapor
460
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:23,897
the second our nacelles
light up.
461
00:24:23,897 --> 00:24:25,507
Help is days away
462
00:24:25,507 --> 00:24:29,076
and this nebula is wreaking hell
on our long-range comms.
463
00:24:29,076 --> 00:24:31,644
We are essentially cornered.
464
00:24:31,644 --> 00:24:34,037
In space.
465
00:24:34,037 --> 00:24:35,909
Which has no corners.
466
00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:38,172
What do we know
about this Vadic?
467
00:24:38,172 --> 00:24:41,523
Nothing in the Starfleet
database, but...
468
00:24:41,523 --> 00:24:42,698
there have been rumors.
469
00:24:42,698 --> 00:24:44,874
Oh, right, yeah.
470
00:24:44,874 --> 00:24:49,575
Among the antiestablishment
pirate types, huh?
471
00:24:49,575 --> 00:24:51,751
The Fenris folk.
472
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:53,361
A ship, similar in design,
473
00:24:53,361 --> 00:24:55,276
flying no flag
but boasting every weapon
474
00:24:55,276 --> 00:24:57,800
known to Starfleet
and then some.
475
00:24:59,323 --> 00:25:03,023
So it's us and the boogeyman
at the edge of space.
476
00:25:03,023 --> 00:25:04,546
No cavalry in sight.
477
00:25:04,546 --> 00:25:08,289
What about Jack Crusher?
What do we got on him?
478
00:25:12,859 --> 00:25:15,078
JACK:
Who I am doesn't matter.
479
00:25:15,078 --> 00:25:17,167
PICARD:
Oh, yes, it most certainly does.
480
00:25:17,167 --> 00:25:20,823
This is no longer about Beverly
only, this is also about you.
481
00:25:20,823 --> 00:25:22,782
I've already told you
everything I know.
482
00:25:22,782 --> 00:25:24,697
I've never
even heard of a Vadic.
483
00:25:24,697 --> 00:25:26,960
RIKER:
We're at a disadvantage
here, kid.
484
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,657
And if there's one place in
the galaxy I don't want to be,
485
00:25:28,657 --> 00:25:30,441
it's on my back foot, so think.
486
00:25:30,441 --> 00:25:33,749
For yourself
and for your mother.
487
00:25:36,752 --> 00:25:38,145
JACK:
Ah.
488
00:25:38,145 --> 00:25:40,103
Well...
489
00:25:40,103 --> 00:25:43,150
this took longer
than I thought it would.
490
00:25:43,150 --> 00:25:45,935
- What's happening here?
- The brig.
That's what's happening.
491
00:25:45,935 --> 00:25:48,372
Thank you for the rescue, Admiral.
492
00:25:48,372 --> 00:25:49,504
SHAW:
Gentlemen, I'd like
to introduce you
493
00:25:49,504 --> 00:25:52,202
to... Jack Crusher.
494
00:25:52,202 --> 00:25:56,555
A.K.A. Jack Canby,
John Carson, James Cole,
495
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:59,993
and my personal favorite,
Jarlis Carvel?
496
00:25:59,993 --> 00:26:02,299
Yeah, that one took
a lot of imagination.
497
00:26:02,299 --> 00:26:03,692
Looks like you two were conned
498
00:26:03,692 --> 00:26:06,782
into saving the life
of a con man.
499
00:26:06,782 --> 00:26:09,655
The bounty hunter's claims
are valid.
500
00:26:09,655 --> 00:26:12,571
We are harboring
an intergalactic fugitive.
501
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:13,615
Take him away.
502
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,924
SEVEN OF NINE:
Sir, as a former Fenris Ranger,
503
00:26:17,924 --> 00:26:20,143
I've had many interactions
with bounty hunters.
504
00:26:20,143 --> 00:26:21,275
That ship is clearly not...
505
00:26:21,275 --> 00:26:24,278
And you. You are no better.
506
00:26:24,278 --> 00:26:26,454
Helping them commandeer
my shuttle?
507
00:26:26,454 --> 00:26:28,630
Persuading me to engage
with a hostile entity
508
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:30,110
outside of Federation space?
509
00:26:30,110 --> 00:26:32,721
Wagering 500 lives
510
00:26:32,721 --> 00:26:35,985
against your loyalty
to a whopping total of two.
511
00:26:41,077 --> 00:26:44,211
You are relieved of duty
for insubordination.
512
00:26:52,959 --> 00:26:56,397
Captain Shaw,
Seven was clearly placed
513
00:26:56,397 --> 00:26:58,268
in an impossible situation.
514
00:26:58,268 --> 00:27:00,923
This man is getting
what he deserves.
515
00:27:00,923 --> 00:27:04,144
So is she. So are you.
516
00:27:05,406 --> 00:27:07,451
I am inclined
to give Vadic her bounty
517
00:27:07,451 --> 00:27:09,671
and send us on our merry way.
518
00:27:09,671 --> 00:27:12,674
Anything after that,
we'll save for the tribunal.
519
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:15,634
Since when does Starfleet
give into hostile demands?
520
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:18,680
That man is wanted for trial,
not execution,
521
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,032
and we damn well know that's
not a ship, it's a guillotine.
522
00:27:23,032 --> 00:27:26,993
The rules of engagement outside
of Federation space are clear.
523
00:27:26,993 --> 00:27:28,908
"The safety and preservation
of the ship's crew
524
00:27:28,908 --> 00:27:31,301
above all else."
525
00:27:31,301 --> 00:27:33,739
You've seen the firepower
on that thing.
526
00:27:33,739 --> 00:27:36,002
That is a dogfight we will lose.
527
00:27:36,002 --> 00:27:39,309
Captain, allow me
to speak with Jack.
528
00:27:39,309 --> 00:27:42,051
Th-There has to be more to this.
529
00:27:42,051 --> 00:27:45,141
Well, she gave us an hour.
530
00:27:45,141 --> 00:27:47,927
You have half that

Oi.

Oi, Starfleet.
711
00:39:06,561 --> 00:39:08,433
What's the power level
of this force field?
712
00:39:09,825 --> 00:39:11,784
According to Starfleet regulations,
713
00:39:11,784 --> 00:39:17,311
you are required to inform me
of the power level.
714
00:39:17,311 --> 00:39:20,793
In the event I may harm myself
whilst trying to escape.
715
00:39:20,793 --> 00:39:23,317
Level 10. Standard issue.
716
00:39:26,407 --> 00:39:29,889
Go ahead. Stick your tongue out,
test it to be sure.

Thank you kindly.

How's Beverly?
719
00:39:43,642 --> 00:39:45,426
Arterial wound.
720
00:39:45,426 --> 00:39:46,949
We located the internal trauma,
stopped the bleeding.
721
00:39:46,949 --> 00:39:48,386
She'll be all right.
722
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:50,605
- How sedated is she?
- Heavily.
723

Whoa. What are you doing?
724
00:39:54,522 --> 00:39:56,655
No-- Sir, she needs time
to rest.
725
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,876
This is not a diplomatic issue, Picard.
726
00:40:00,876 --> 00:40:03,009
They have already engaged us.

00:40:04,663 --> 00:40:07,317
We may be able to bring her down
simply by standing up.

on the mechanics of gears,

that persistent sound you hear
734
00:40:27,512 --> 00:40:32,604
is the gentle ticktock

of my particular vessel.

00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:54,452
The Shrike.
740
00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:57,498
It's an Earth creature.

kills surgically, carefully.

Give me the boy now
or continue to delay,
747
00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:19,520

748
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,350
I will take
another piece of you.

I'll peck, and I'll jab

All right, enough.

You may have just earned
your post back. Bring him up.

00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:56,138
He's currently in the

the controls.

If he was escaping,

he'd be a half a system away
in a shuttle by now.
783
