Captain, we have arrived
at Tanuga lV.

The away team has completed
its survey of Dr. Apgar's work

and is ready to return
to the ship.

Good.

Oh, please... and feel free

to examine the work
of the other students, too.

Hmm...

Ensign Williams' striking style

is heavily influenced

by geometric constructivism.

Lieutenant Wright has
effectively fused

the incongruities
of the surrealists

with the irrationality
of dadaism.

Interesting.

Oh.

Thank you.

In what way?

While suggesting
the free treatment of form

usually attributed to fauvism

this quite inappropriately
attempts to juxtapose

the disparate cubistic styles
of Picasso and Leger.

In addition, the use of color
suggests a haphazard melange

of clashing styles.

Furthermore,
the unsettling overtones

of proto-Vulcan influences...

Thank you... Mr. Data.

You are welcome, sir.

If I can be
of further assistance...

No... thank you.

Captain's Log, Stardate 43610.4:

After completing a delivery
of dicosilium

to the Tanuga lV
research station

our away team has received
an update from Dr. Nel Apgar

on his efforts
to create Krieger waves

a potentially valuable
new power source.

Welcome back, Mr. La Forge.

Thank you, sir.

Where's Commander Riker?

He's still down
on the station, sir.

Dr. Apgar wanted
to have a word with him.

Any problems?

Not with the scientific part
of the mission, no, sir.

Riker to Enterprise.

I'm ready to leave now.

I'm sure Commander Riker
will be able

to explain
everything, Captain.

Stand by, Commander.

Engaging transport.

Transporter Room to Engineering.

I have a power drain.

Transporter Room.

Is Commander Riker aboard?

Not yet, Captain. I'm having
trouble clearing the signal.

Transporter Room to Bridge.

He's aboard.

Why do you sound
so surprised, Mr. O'Brien?

Well, for a moment,
we weren't sure

you left the space station
in time.

In time for what?

It just exploded, sir.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission--

to explore
strange new worlds

to seek out new life
and new civilizations

to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

Captain's Log, supplemental:

Commander Riker has informed me

that Dr. Apgar was the only one
aboard the space station

when it exploded.

We remain in orbit
investigating the accident.

I've gone through
the whole system, Captain.

I can't find any malfunction
in the transporter

or nothing that would cause
an explosion like that.

Why was there a power drain
before transport?

I don't know, sir.

I shall want an answer to that.

I'm sure the Tanugans will, too.

Yes, sir.

Captain, the radiation
and debris

are consistent with an overload
of the station's reactor core.

Were there any indications
of reactor core problems

while you were on the station?

No, sir.

Number One?

Mr. La Forge indicated

that this was not
an entirely routine mission.

It's a long story, sir

but I'm sure it doesn't have
anything to do

with this accident.

Captain, Chief lnvestigator Krag
of the Tanugan security force

requests permission
to beam aboard.

Granted. Will you escort him
to the Bridge, Mr. Worf?

Aye, sir.

Perhaps you had better tell me
as much as possible

prior to his arrival,
Number One.

I'm Lieutenant Worf,
head of ship's security.

I will take you to the Captain.

Chief lnvestigator
welcome to the Enterprise.

I'm Captain Picard.

This is my First Officer
Commander William Riker.

Commander Riker, I am here
to take you into custody.

Custody? On what charge?

Suspicion of murder.

Murder? Now, wait a minute.
You can't come on...

Chief lnvestigator...

we are perfectly willing
to cooperate with you...

Then release the prisoner

for transportation
to the planet.

Let's continue
this discussion in private.

Number One, you have the Bridge.

Just what is the evidence
against my officer?

Two witnesses have come forward

to describe Commander Riker's
threats against Dr. Apgar.

Threats?

I'm aware there was

a private conversation
between them.

Apparently, it was much more
than just a private conversation

but he will be given a chance
to prove his innocence.

Investigator, in our system
of jurisprudence

a man is innocent
until proven guilty.

In ours, he is guilty
until he is proved innocent

and you are under
our jurisdiction.

If I understand Federation
regulations on this matter

and I just happened
to look them up...

I am aware
of Federation regulations, sir

and if you investigate
them further

you will find
the Captain decides

if extradition is warranted.

Are you saying it is not?

I am saying
if there is sufficient cause

to warrant a trial

I will release my officer
into your custody.

Would you say that you are close
to your First Officer, Captain?

That question
is irrelevant here.

Really, Captain,
you cannot believe that.

How can I expect
a fair and impartial decision?

I must protect
the rights of my officer.

I can appreciate that

but you will do it
on the planet, not here.

After all, what if you
were suddenly to decide

to leave this star system?

You have my word
as a Starfleet officer

that I will not.

Unacceptable.

Captain, you will turn him over
to me for interrogation now.

Interrogate him here.

We must re-create step by step,
moment by moment

all the events

Ieading to the explosion.

We will require access
to all the witnesses

as well as the data
from the lab's ground computers.

It would be impossible
to accomplish here.

Perhaps not.

Mr. Data, will you report

to my ready room?

Aye, sir.

We may be able to assist you

in re-creating these events.

Commander Data, this is
Chief lnspector Krag.

Commander, by taking testimony
from the away team

and from witnesses provided
by the lnvestigator

would it be possible
to program the holodeck

to re-create what happened
on the science station?

It would require construction
and design specifications

full orthographic
representations

of the Krieger equipment

as well as visual
representations

and voice analyses
of the persons involved

but it is possible.

Very well.

Arrangements will be made
to provide you

with all available information.

I shall return shortly
with our witnesses.

Commander, will you escort
lnvestigator Krag

to Transporter Room Three?

Ensign Crusher, Mr. La Forge

we are going to re-create
the research station

here on the holodeck.

I want you to work

with Commander Data
on the preparations.

In addition, Commander La Forge
and Commander Riker

I want you to
give the computer

detailed depositions
of everything you saw

everything you heard
while you were on board.

Counselor, I want you to assist
me during this inquiry.

My decision about
the extradition will be based

on the evidence presented
during these re-creations.

Captain...

May I have a word with you?

Under the circumstances,
Number One

I think that would be
inappropriate.

Second Officer's log,
Stardate 4361 1.6:

Programming of the holodeck
has taken 18 hours, 1 1 minutes

and is now complete.

All participants have entered
their depositions.

Technical schematics
and complete records

from the lab's ground computers

as well as Dr. Apgar's
personal logs

have been included.

The re-creations will have
a nominal 8.7% margin of error.

Is there anything
you'd like to say

before we begin, Number One?

Just this.

I'm not a murderer.

I went to the Tanugan lab

as an official representative
of Starfleet.

I acted accordingly.

I was there to evaluate
Dr. Apgar's progress

in the development

of a Krieger-wave converter.

That's all I was interested in.

Computer...

...Ioad deposition program

Riker One.

Run the simulation.

Dr. Apgar?

I'm Commander William Riker.

Lieutenant Commander
Geordi La Forge.

My assistant, Tayna.

Well, let's get on with it,
shall we?

Let's not be
in such a hurry, dear.

Perhaps our guest

would care
for some refreshments?

My wife, Manua.

A pleasure to meet you,
Mrs. Apgar.

If you're prepared to start,
so are we.

Of course, I'm prepared.

All right. Why don't you give me

an overview of your research

while Mr. La Forge
and your assistant

take a look
at the experimental data.

Fine, whatever.

I must say, Commander,
I resent this early arrival.

Starfleet will get
its converter.

I've had a few setbacks,
that's all.

We're not here
to pressure you, Doctor.

We just want an update
on your progress.

Tayna, show
the Commander's assistant

whatever he wants to see. Give
him full access to our records.

Yes, Doctor.

If you'll come with me.

Our lambda field generator

is on the planet
since it requires

a minimum of 5,000 kilometers
for the field to collimate.

Really, darling,
you're being rude.

After all,
Commander Riker is willing

to sit through all your prattle
about Krieger waves.

Let's have a drink, Commander

and we'll hear
all about Krieger waves.

To your success, Doctor.

Mm-hmm.

And the rewards
that come with it.

Riker, what is Starfleet
doing here anyway?

My delivery wasn't scheduled
for another three months.

Well, we were in this sector
on another mission

and since you had already
contacted Starfleet

about additional dicosilium

it seemed like
a good opportunity.

How interesting.

Tell us about
this other mission.

It was just a study
of a proto-star cloud.

The Enterprise
will be back tomorrow.

The Enterprise
just left you here?

We didn't want
to inconvenience you.

We've made arrangements
for quarters on the planet.

Oh, I won't hear
of such a thing.

Commander, I insist you
and Mr. La Forge stay with us.

I hardly think...

I know that you would prefer
to be left alone

with your very important work

but l, for one,
am glad for the company.

Good.

I must apologize

for my husband's lack
of social graces.

He may be one

of the great scientific minds
in the galaxy, but...

he does come up a bit short
in other areas.

Wait a moment.

Stop.

Computer, freeze program.

Then it's your testimony

that it was Mrs. Apgar's idea

for you to spend the night
aboard the space station?

It's my testimony
and it's the truth.

Resume program.

Our guest quarters
aren't luxurious

but I've tried to make
this room warm and inviting.

I'll be very comfortable,
thank you.

Good night.

The environmental controls
are over here.

I'm sure I'll find everything
I need.

And the door shuts
by touching this panel.

Mrs. Apgar...

This is my sanctuary.

Privacy is very important

on a small station.

I'm left alone here,
often for hours.

It's late.

I am tired.

Are you still tired, Commander?

Ma'am, excuse me

I really think
that you ought to leave.

I knew I'd find you with him.

Did you think I didn't notice
how you looked at him?

I'm not the fool
you take me for.

Doctor!

Doctor, believe me.

This has been
a terrible mistake.

You won't get away with this.

I'll see to it.

I swear I will, Riker.

Freeze program.

I didn't see Dr. Apgar
until the following morning

when he asked to see me alone.

Commander La Forge returned
to the Enterprise.

Resume program.

I suppose if I make
a formal complaint

your report on my work
won't be very good.

Doctor, this is going to have
no impact on my report.

It was a misunderstanding
of the worst kind.

We could straighten
the entire thing out

if you would ask
Mrs. Apgar to join us.

My wife and my assistant

have transported
down to the planet.

What are you going to put
in your report, Riker?

That there is no justification

for all the extra dicosilium
I've requested?

That is why they sent
you early, isn't it?

Doctor, l...

I can explain why I needed it.

They have no idea
what my problems are.

There are explanations for...

I don't need explanations.

Then we have nothing further
to say to each other.

I'll tell my Captain
to expect your grievance.

Do that.

Riker to Enterprise.

I'm ready to leave now.

Stand by, Commander.

Engaging transport.

Freeze program.

Then I returned
to the Enterprise.

And you have nothing further
to add, Commander?

Nothing about firing a phaser?

I never fired a phaser
on the science station.

Well, that's odd... very odd.

Captain Picard, is it not true

that your sensors
detected an energy drain

just as Commander Riker
began transport?

That's correct.

Have you been able
to explain it?

Not to my knowledge.

We have.

Our readings are
quite clear about it.

Information retrieved
from the lab's ground computers

indicate that a focused
energy pulse was fired

just as Commander Riker
began transport.

Furthermore, by analyzing
the angle and trajectory

we have determined that
it came from the very spot

Commander Riker was standing.

So then, will you allow me
to show you my re-creation

of the end of this story?

A speculation, if you will.

Computer...

run hypothetical Krag one.

Riker to Enterprise.

I'm ready to leave now.

Stand by, Commander.

Engaging transport.

Freeze program.

Three seconds later,
the space station exploded.

The Tanugans are right.

Something was fired
at the reactor core

just before transport.

The energy signature

would seem to indicate
a phaser-like blast.

Well, it wasn't
the Commander's phaser.

It couldn't have been.

There's another answer.

We're just not seeing it.

Was there anything else
in the lab

capable of creating this
kind of energy discharge?

Not that I saw.

Besides, how do you account
for the fact

that it came from Commander
Riker's exact position?

Damn it, I should've
stayed with him.

Commander.

Sensors indicate
a radiation burst

on deck 39
outside cargo bay 12.

Source?

Unknown, sir.

Computer,
identify type of radiation.

Emission is not consistent
with any known radiation.

It is subsiding, sir.

What kind of radiation
could do this?

Make any sense to you?

I don't recognize it.

Not even the main deflector
puts out that kind of spillage.

Where would it be coming from?

I don't know, Wes,
but whatever it is

it's capable of putting
a hole in solid duranium.

In a sense

we have already met Mrs. Apgar

so we shall dispense
with introductions.

Mrs. Apgar

you understand the purpose
of this hearing?

We understand

how difficult
this will be for you.

If you need a recess

please don't hesitate to ask.

Would you like

to make a statement
before we begin?

No.

I just know he did it.

He killed my husband.

Computer

Ioad Manua Simulation One.

Run program.

If you greet them
with such a long face

they're going to assume

something is wrong
with the experiment.

I just need time,
a little more time.

I'm certain they'll give you
all the time you need

if you just show
a little charm.

You do that so much better

than I do.

Manua, someday I'll be able
to reward you

for all your patience.

I'll get you everything
you ever dreamed of.

I have all the reward I need.

Now go on.

I'll be right in.

Dr. Apgar?

I'm Commander William Riker.

Lieutenant Commander
Geordi La Forge.

My assistant, Tayna.

Well, let's get on with it,
shall we?

Don't be in such a hurry, dear.

Perhaps our guests would like
some refreshment?

My wife, Manua.

A pleasure to meet you, Manua.

I'm anxious to get started.

If you wish.

I must say, I resent your
early arrival, Commander.

I have much work to do.

Doctor, I'll do everything
in my power

to make this as painless
as possible for both of us.

Do you assist your husband
in his work?

Oh, dear, no, I'm no scientist.

No, neither am l.

But I find this all fascinating,
don't you?

Mr. La Forge,
why don't you take a look

at the Doctor's
experimental data.

Later you can give me
an overview.

Fine, whatever.

Starfleet will get
its Krieger-wave converter.

These things take time.

I've had a few setbacks,
that's all.

Doctor, I'm not trying to put
any pressure on you.

I'm sure my report will
only underscore the need

for continued support
of your research.

Mm-hmm.

Tayna

I'll call up the records.

Show the Commander's assistant
whatever he wants to see.

Yes, Doctor.
If you'll come with me.

Our field generator
is on the planet

since it requires a minimum
of 5,000 kilometers

for the field to collimate.

Darling, let Tayna
take care of that.

I'm sure Commander Riker

wants to hear how close you are
to a breakthrough.

I'll pour the two of you a drink

and you can talk
all about Krieger waves.

Commander.

To success.

Success.

Well, in a way, I suppose
it's good that you're early.

Manua's right.

It gives me a chance to show you

the progress we've been making.

I would appreciate it

if Commander La Forge and l
could stay here

until the Enterprise returns.

It's a little inconvenient.

It would help
to accelerate the process.

Well, if you wish, Commander.

Now, uh...

where shall I start?

Well, first of all

you should know
that I am very close

to being able to collimate
a Krieger field.

Our guest quarters

are quite modest.

Very charming.

It has your touch.

The station is small
and we don't often have guests

so I use this as my sanctuary.

Who do you need sanctuary from?

The environmental controls
are here.

Commander, please...

it's late and I'm tired.

A man more interested
in Krieger waves

than a lovely woman like you...

How is that possible?

My husband is one
of the greatest minds

in the galaxy

and we love each other
very much.

Please, don't.

You must be very lonely...

a princess
in a very high tower.

Please, my husband
will be looking for me.

Your sanctuary, remember?

Commander, don't, please!

She's lying.

That never happened.

Freeze program.

Please...

Captain, you know I would
never act like that.

Commander Riker...

This isn't me.

I wasn't the one
who closed the door.

I didn't proposition her

and I certainly didn't
try to rape her.

Why are you doing this?

It's exactly what happened.

Will, come on, sit down.

Resume program.

Please...

I knew you'd try this, Riker.

Do you think I didn't notice
how you looked at her?

I'm not the fool
you take me for.

You won't get away with this.

Your career is over.

I'll see to it,
I swear I will, Riker.

If you report this

you'll be making
a terrible mistake, Doctor

a terrible mistake.

Freeze program.

Your career was safe.

He was a scientist.

In another day,
some fascinating bit

of technical trivia
would have distracted him.

He would have forgotten
about you

and his complaint
to Starfleet.

Excuse me.

We'll, uh...

we'll take a short recess.

Why would she lie like that?

She was lying.

You could tell.

Will, I didn't sense
any deception from her.

Then you think that I would...?

No! No, of course not.

I know you.

You don't have
to convince me of anything.

We can't both be
telling the truth.

It is the truth as
each of you remembers it.

But her version
puts a noose around my neck.

This is healing beautifully.

I think you can work

on strengthening
those muscles again.

Security to Dr. Crusher.

Evacuate. Repeat, evacuate.

Radiation emissions
are indicated in Sick Bay.

This is definitely
the same radiation

that penetrated deck 39.

Highly focused, very powerful,
but of unknown origin.

If this should happen
near the engine core

or the antimatter
containment tanks

we'll be in
big trouble, Captain.

Do you have any theories?

Captain,
Data's noticed something

that's too strange
to be a coincidence.

The two radiation events
aboard the Enterprise

occurred five hours, 20 minutes
and three seconds apart.

The science station exploded
yesterday

at almost four times
that interval.

There's a.0014-second variance

we haven't been able
to explain yet.

So you're saying
there's a connection

between the radiation bursts
and the explosion.

We do not have the evidence
to support that conclusion

at this time, Commander.

If they're right

we should be able to
predict the next event.

We're expecting it
in just over five hours.

Well, take every precaution

to protect the ship's
vital areas.

If we haven't identified
the source

before the next time interval,
we'll leave orbit.

If you perceive
any further danger

advise me immediately.

We'll figure it out
for you, Commander.

After the... the fight,
Dr. Apgar came to find me.

He was very upset.

And he told you what happened?

Yes, he told me everything
that happened.

Based on Tayna's deposition

we have re-created the incident
in Commander Riker's quarters

as Dr. Apgar described it
to her.

Computer...

Inspector, lnspector,
this is hearsay.

She wasn't a witness
to this incident.

But Dr. Apgar is dead.

Her statement is admissible
according to Tanugan law

and I insist you consider it.

Well... we'll watch
this "evidence"

and we'll weigh it accordingly.

Computer,
run Tayna Simulation Three.

I knew I'd find
the two of you together.

Do you think I didn't notice

how you were looking
at each other?

I'm not the fool

you take me for.

I'm going to report this,
Riker.

You can count on that.

You're a dead man, Apgar.

A dead man.

Freeze program.

And then Dr. Apgar
came to find you?

Yes.

Run Tayna Simulation Four.

I want you to take Manua

and beam down to
Tanuga immediately.

But, Doctor,
if he threatened you

you shouldn't stay.

I'm not leaving him here alone.

He's capable of anything.

I've got to protect our work.

I'll contact the authorities.

No... I'll take care of that.

Doctor, be careful.

It'll be all right.

Go on.

Freeze program.

Then what happened?

I left the station with Manua.

The next day, when I heard
the station had exploded

I knew what had happened.

He'd killed Dr. Apgar.

Thank you.

You are excused.

Captain, I have established
motive, method and opportunity.

In any court in the Federation

that is sufficient

to warrant the extradition
of the accused.

I await your decision forthwith.

I don't see any alternative.

Do you?

We both know Will's innocent.

Of course he's innocent

but as a Starfleet Captain,
I can't allow myself the luxury

of yielding
to personal feelings.

The evidence warrants a trial.

I'll have to allow extradition.

Do you think
there's enough evidence

to prove his innocence?

No.

Captain, I believe we have found

the source of the radiation.

Can you join us on the Bridge?

Acknowledged.

As you know, Captain,
we are looking for a phenomenon

that reoccurs every five hours

20 minutes and three seconds.

The interval between
the radiation bursts.

We have found
one such phenomenon

on the planet surface.

It's the field generator
that Apgar used

during his research.

When it's fully charged

it automatically emits
an energy pulse

and then takes five hours

20 minutes and three seconds
to recharge itself.

It must have been left on
after the explosion at the lab.

But why would a generator

be affecting the
Enterprise in this way?

It should not be.

It is a harmless
lambda field generator.

But we knew that somehow
it was related

to our radiation bursts

and then the pieces
just started falling together.

We now know
what is causing the bursts

and why the science station
exploded, sir.

And we also know
who killed Dr. Apgar.

Chief lnspector,
we've watched these events

replayed over and over again

and... I am impressed

and admittedly dismayed

by the body of evidence
against Commander Riker

but isn't it remarkable
that with all the witnesses

all the different points of view

of the events
aboard the space station

we haven't seen
what really happened?

I do not understand.

Allow me, with the help
of Mr. La Forge, to explain.

Computer, load Manua Program One

time index 14-4-1.

Play program.

Fine, whatever.

Starfleet will get
its Krieger-wave converter.

These things take time.

I've had a few setbacks,
that's all.

Freeze.

Mrs. Apgar, this is taken
from your deposition.

It would seem to suggest
that your husband

had failed to create
Krieger waves.

Yes, but he was very close
to a breakthrough.

He said he needed more time.

He was upset
by our early arrival.

Where in fact, I maintain

that he had already made
that breakthrough

and that he was lying to us.

On what basis?

For the last several hours

the Enterprise
has been experiencing

unusual radiation bursts.

We've identified them
as Krieger waves.

Krieger waves?

But that's impossible.

From where?

From right here
inside the holodeck.

We have re-created
your science lab

in every conceivable detail.

Essentially, what was
in the original lab is here.

Including
the Krieger-wave converter

that Dr. Apgar claimed didn't
work, except it does work.

Your field generator
down on the planet surface

has been sending out
harmless energy charges

which this facsimile has been
converting into Krieger waves.

But the holodeck can't
create anything dangerous.

Well, it didn't.

When you get down to basics
the converter is nothing more

than a complex series of mirrors
and reflective coils.

The energy from
the field generator

down on the planet

simply reflects off of elements
in the converter

which turns it into
highly focused Krieger waves.

And those same waves have been

randomly striking
different areas of our ship

as we orbit the planet

and our angle
to the generator changes.

Why would Dr. Apgar lie
about his success?

Computer, run Manua Program One,
time index 14-3-8.

Manua, someday I'll be able
to reward you

for all your patience.

I'll get you everything
you ever dreamed of.

I have all the reward I need.

Freeze program.

Computer, run Riker Program Two,
time index 16-1 -0.

To your success, Doctor.

And the rewards
that come with it.

Freeze.

I never said that.

Nevertheless,
it seems clear that your husband

was motivated to earn
the rewards that pleased you

Mrs. Apgar.

What's wrong with that?

Well, he wouldn't have

earned great profits from
his dealings with Starfleet.

We were only interested
in a new power source.

But if he could turn this
into a weapon

it would be worth a lot

to the Romulans, the Ferengi
and a few others.

Now, Dr. Apgar had been ordering
extra dicosilium for months.

That's a pretty good indication

that he was trying to create
larger reflective coils.

And when the away team
arrived early

he must have been worried

that Starfleet
was becoming suspicious.

He needed more time
to finish his work.

Apgar said that
in each of the three versions.

No doubt he was afraid

that Commander Riker
might learn the truth

and cut off his support
prematurely.

Discovering Commander Riker
with his wife

didn't help matters.

I submit he decided
to murder Commander Riker.

Ridiculous.

Is it?

Computer, run Tayna Program Four

time index 18-1-4.

I'll contact the authorities.

No... I'll take care of that.

Freeze.

Tayna, what exactly
is Apgar doing here?

Activating the generator
on the planet.

Now, why would he do that?

Maybe he was going to work
on the converter.

I don't know.

Maybe he was already
thinking ahead

to his next confrontation
with Commander Riker.

Computer,
play Riker Program Four

time index 24-1.

What are you going to put
in your report, Riker?

That there's no justification

for all the extra dicosilium
I've requested?

That is why they sent
you early, isn't it?

Doctor...

I can explain
why I needed it.

They have no idea
what my problems are.

There are
explanations for...

I don't need explanations.

Freeze.

To Apgar, this must have
seemed as though

Commander Riker were confirming
his worst fears

and I believe it was now

that he finally decided
to kill him.

You forget, Picard.

We know that the energy pulse
which blew up the reactor

originated from
Commander Riker's position

not Dr. Apgar's.

Hmm... We are hypothesizing

that Dr. Apgar energized
the converter

at the moment
of Commander Riker's beam-out

hoping to make his death look
like a transporter accident

but something went wrong.

The energy pulse hit
the transporter beam

and reflected back

to the reactor,
which caused the explosion.

An interesting hypothesis,
but impossible to prove.

Not really.

We know that field generator
on the planet

has been repeating a discharge
ever since the explosion.

The intervals are like clockwork

except the explosion occurred

.0014 seconds
after the initial discharge.

Now, the only explanation
for that variance

is the time it would take
the energy pulse to bounce back

from the transporter
beam to the reactor.

We've arranged a demonstration
to illustrate.

Mr. La Forge, I think
it's about time, isn't it?

Computer, load program
La Forge One.

Coordinate auto-engage
time sequence.

The next discharge
from the field generator

is scheduled to occur
in just a few moments.

Now, we've aligned
the holodeck program

to re-create the final events

as Commander Riker
described them

only this time, our facsimile
will automatically process

the energy charge
from the planet

and reflect it just
as the original converter did

before the explosion.

If we're correct,
we'll know it instantly.

Auto-engage time sequence
synchronized.

Auto-engage time sequence
synchronized.

Then we have nothing further

to say to each other.

I'll tell my Captain
to expect your grievance.

Do that.

Riker to Enterprise.

I'm ready to leave now.

Stand by, Commander.

Engaging transport.

Dr. Apgar killed himself

during his attempt
to kill Commander Riker.

Based on this new evidence,
I withdraw my request

for Commander Riker's
extradition.

Commander...

my apologies.

Number One, have we
any further business

in the Tanuga system?

None that I know of.

I'd be more than willing
to put it behind me.

Then perhaps
you would do me the pleasure

of getting this ship underway.

With pleasure, sir.

Ensign Crusher

set course for Emila ll,
warp three.

Course laid in, sir.

Engage.
