Captain's Log, Stardate 44246.3.

We're investigating
radiation anomalies

reported in the Gamma
Arigulon system

by the Starship LaSalle.

Preliminary readings
are inconclusive.

Mr. Data?

No changes, Commander.

I can detect no abnormalities
in the star's radiant energy.

Prepare two class-1 probes.

Probes ready, Captain.

Initiate launch sequence.

Captain, Klingon attack cruiser
decloaking

bearing 010 mark 237.

Belay that order, Mr. Data.

Did Starfleet mention

any Klingon ships
in this sector?

On screen.

We are being hailed.

All stop, Mr. Crusher.

Aye, sir. All stop.

Open a channel.

Hello, Captain Picard.

Ambassador K'Ehleyr.

This is an unexpected pleasure.

It's good to see you again,
Captain.

Lieutenant Worf.

How may we be of assistance,
Ambassador?

There is an urgent matter
we must discuss, Captain.

Permission to come aboard?

Granted.

Lieutenant,
please receive our guest.

Captain.

I must request permission
to send another officer.

May I know your reason?

My dishonor among Klingons
may offend Ambassador K'Ehleyr.

Lieutenant, you are
a member of this crew

and you will not go into hiding

whenever a Klingon vessel
uncloaks.

I withdraw my request, sir.

I just received
coordinates, sir.

Ready to transport two
from the Klingon vessel.

Two?

Yes, sir.

Energize.

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.

I hope he'll be all right.

Alexander hasn't
had much contact

with other children.

Not even a bite on the cheek
for old time's sake?

Perhaps you are not
aware of my dishonor.

I have accepted...
discommendation.

I've heard.

So now what?

I have to perform
some ridiculous ritual

to talk to you?

You may not respect
our traditions...

but I do.

Sorry.

I just thought
you might want to talk.

A few minutes ago

you looked like someone
with a question to ask.

Must I ask the question?

Yes. You must.

What should I tell Alexander?

That he has no father?

The Klingon Empire
is at a critical juncture.

We may be facing civil war.

War over what?

The usual excuses--

tradition, duty, honor.

The word "excuses" implies

ulterior motives for a conflict.

I won't bore you

with the intricacies
of Klingon politics.

Basically, two factions
are trying to seize power.

Do you believe there is

a threat to the Federation
in this struggle?

Klingon wars seldom remain
confined to the Empire.

Sooner or later, they'll drag in
the neighboring star systems

then the Tholians, the Ferengi.

The Federation won't be able
to stay out of it for long.

This has been coming
for some time.

Only K'mpec,
the head of the Council

has been able
to maintain the peace.

Now something has changed that.

Correct.

K'mpec is dying.

He is aboard the cruiser.

He has come specifically
to meet with you, Captain.

Alone.

It's about time
you arrived, Picard.

Sit.

I need your help.

If the Enterprise
medical facility can do

anything to help...

Too late.

For some months,
I have been poisoned

with small doses
of Veridium Six.

The wine.

There is no cure.

What do you want of me?

After I die,
you will act in my name

to arbitrate
the struggle for power.

I will?

No one on the Council
can be trusted

and... I have my reasons
for wanting an outsider.

K'mpec, you cannot
possibly be serious.

A Federation officer
has no business...

Nonsense.

You are
an accomplished mediator.

This is no different
than any other dispute

requiring your services.

On the contrary, I think
this is very different

and I must
respectfully decline.

If you refuse the dying request
of the Klingon Supreme Commander

it will be an insult

by the Federation
to all Klingons.

Besides, I've already
sent the order.

The leaders of the opposing
two factions are on their way.

You had no right to involve me
without my permission.

If I'd asked,
you would have said no.

This is not just a case
of simple mediation.

You are asking me
to choose the next leader

of the Klingon Empire.

No.

By tradition,
the two strongest challengers

fight for the right
of succession.

As mediator, only you can
designate those challengers.

But you have just said there are
only two challengers arriving.

What is the point?

I want you to discover which one
of them has killed me--

Gowron or Duras.

Yes, Duras.

I thought you would
find that interesting.

Interesting.

You could say that,
since he tried to have me killed

and conspired to strip Worf
of his good name.

And... I approved.

All for the glory of the Empire.

That should be my epitaph.

Find the assassin.

A Klingon who kills without
showing his face has no honor.

He must not lead the Empire.

Such a man would be capable
of anything

even war with the Federation.

Very well.

I accept.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

K'mpec, who ruled
the Klingon Empire

Ionger than anyone in history,
is dead.

We await the arrival
of Duras and Gowron

rivals for the leadership
of the High Council.

Put it on there.

What did you do that for?

I know.

Now, we have to start all over.

Oh, man.

There is no honor
in attacking the weak.

I would have won.

No, you must earn victory.

Where are the other Klingons?

There are no others on board.

Why?

The Federation
and the Klingon Empire

were enemies for many years.

No other Klingons have asked
to serve in Starfleet.

Why?

A warrior does not ask
so many questions.

I don't want to be a warrior.

Hello.

Well, you're back early.

He made me leave.

Maybe you should go
to your room and play.

Is he under arrest?

He knows nothing of our ways.

Our ways?

You mean Klingon ways,
don't you?

He is Klingon!

He is also my son,
and I am half human.

He will find his own ways.

Why the sudden concern?

You won't even acknowledge
that he's yours.

Why did you not tell me?

And what would you have done?

That's right.

You would have insisted
that we take the oath

just as tradition would demand.

You should not have
kept this from me.

Well... now you know.

I cannot acknowledge
my relationship to the boy.

It would only harm him.

Because you were dishonored?

As my son,
he would also bear my disgrace.

As would his children.

But why did you accept
discommendation

from the High Council?

My father was accused

of collaborating
with the Romulans at Khitomer.

I know, and I also know
that you challenged it.

Yes, at first.

Ultimately, I withdrew
my challenge.

But why, Worf?

I can't believe
you'd just give up.

What really happened?

Lieutenant Worf,
Ambassador K'Ehleyr

report to the Bridge.

On our way, Commander.

Klingon vessels Vorn and Buruk

holding stations
at 13 kilometers, sir.

Open a channel, Mr. Data.

Channel is open, sir.

Vorn responding to hail.

On screen.

Let's get this over with,
Picard.

In good time, Duras.

Even in death,
K'mpec makes foolish decisions.

You should not be
involved in this, human.

The Sonchi ceremony
will take place in one hour

aboard K'mpec's vessel.

One hour!
What is the delay?

There is no delay.

It is the time I have chosen.

Exactly one hour, Picard.

Do not be late.

Keep that pahtk
away from the ceremony, Picard!

He has no place
on a Klingon ship.

Picard out.

Contact Gowron's ship.

Tell him to meet us
aboard K'mpec's vessel.

Ambassador, meet me

in Transporter Room Six
in one hour.

We will begin the ceremony
a little late.

Mr. Worf.

Mr. Worf, the next few days
will be difficult for you.

You have made it clear

that I am to perform
my regular duties, sir.

I want you to know

that I am aware
of your discomfort.

Thank you, sir.

Ambassador K'Ehleyr

will be preparing me for my role
in the Rite of Succession.

Permission to speak freely, sir.

Granted.

Duras must not be allowed
to lead the Council.

He has a legal claim, Mr. Worf.

Your personal feelings
towards him...

It is not personal, sir.

His father betrayed my people
to the Romulans.

Duras is a traitor.

Klingon tradition
may hold the son

responsible
for his father's sin.

I cannot.

Treason was his father's crime.

Duras' crime

was to lay that blame
on your father.

I will not forget that.

But you should not forget

that you chose to accept
the consequences of that lie.

To preserve the Empire.

The issue now is whether or not
he killed K'mpec.

Sir?

He was murdered.

Poisoned.

A Klingon would not use poison.

His murder would have no honor.

K'mpec believed that it was
either Duras or Gowron.

Well, I know little of Gowron,
only that he is an outsider

who has often challenged
the Council.

But Duras... I know him.

His heart is not Klingon.

That's Gowron.

I hope this will be brief.

It will be just
long enough to prove

that K'mpec is dead.

Qab jlH nagil.

Qab jlH nagil.

Qab jlH... nagil.

Sonchi.

Now, complete
the Rite of Succession.

It's obvious
who the two challengers are.

We will proceed
according to the traditions

and the precedents
set down in Klingon law.

What do you know
of Klingon law...

human?

We will reconvene
on board the Enterprise...

No! Finish it here!

Now!

I have not received your report
on the explosion.

Two Klingons killed,
a few minor injuries.

Were you concerned about me?

As head of security,
it is my duty to be concerned.

Is that it-- just official
concern for my well-being?

You know my feelings.

Maybe I've forgotten.

You were right.

I would have insisted
we take the oath

but not just because
of tradition.

I thought about telling you.

Wanted to tell you.

But I wasn't ready.

When I left, you said

that you'd never be complete
without me.

It took some time, but...

I came to realize
that... I need you, too.

You're a part of me, Worf.

jlH dok.

maj dok.

No.

I can't allow you
to suffer my humiliation.

There would be no suffering.

I don't care what other
Klingons think of you.

But what of the boy?

He may want to live
in the Empire someday.

He would be an outcast--

another traitor from
a family of traitors.

Family of traitors.

I don't believe that
for a minute.

Respect my wishes
in this matter.

I cannot take the oath with you.

Nor can I claim your son.

If you cannot be his father

at least be his friend.

We haven't completed our
analysis of the bomb debris.

Dr. Crusher is still
studying the remains

of the men killed
in the explosion.

We need more time.

Duras and Gowron will be here
in a few minutes.

I don't think you can
delay this meeting again.

Is there any way
of stretching out

the formalities
once they arrive?

In the modern
Rite of Succession

only a brief proclamation

that two challengers
have been chosen is necessary.

You said "modern Rite."

How was the ritual performed
in the past?

The old forms dictated

that the challengers
perform the ja'chuq.

It's a long, involved ceremony

in which the challengers
list the battles they've won

the prizes they've taken...

the idea being
to prove their worthiness

to lead the Council.

Can the old form still be used?

It's up to you.

You can use
whatever form you want.

Thank you.

Captain, what do you know
about Worf's discommendation?

My interest is personal.

I understand that you were there

that you stood by him
before the Council.

I'd like to know what happened.

I'm sorry, I can't discuss it.

The Council must have
a leader now!

Complete the Rite,
so I can kill this Ha'DlBah.

You will die slowly, Duras.

You have already proved you
haven't the courage to face me.

Perhaps you should plant
another bomb.

mev yap!

Sit down.

We will begin the ja'chuq.

What?

This woman has been giving you
bad advice, Picard.

The ja'chuq is obsolete.

It is my choice to respect
the ancient rituals.

Each of you will have
to prove your worthiness

to lead the High Council.

That will take hours.

Or days, depending
on your cooperation.

What is this?

A bat'leth.

It belonged to my father.

It has been in our family
for ten generations.

Let me hold it.

No.

No, no, no.

Do not think of it as a weapon.

Make it part of your hand

part of your arm.

Make it part of you.

The next meeting
is in three hours.

I would speak with
you alone, Ambassador.

I'm honored.

Picard is prolonging
the ja'chuq.

Why?

He has sufficient reason
to proceed carefully.

He relies on you

for his knowledge
of Klingon law?

Yes.

Then he values your advice.

You could quicken the pace.

Possibly.

Why should l?

Your position is... unique.

Have you never wondered

about serving
the Klingon Empire?

I serve in my own way.

As a Federation ambassador.

A few rewards...

but little glory.

What do you want?

What do you want?

Command of a ship?

A seat on the Council?

There are many opportunities
for you in the Empire.

Opportunities
that will present themselves

only if you come to power.

You talk like a Ferengi.

K'mpec was also stubborn.

He, too, refused to listen.

Now...

he is gone.

You need not make
the same mistake.

K'mpec was old and weak.

I am not.

We've completed our analysis
of the bomb debris, Commander.

The explosive
was a triceron derivative.

And the entire device
couldn't have been

more than three cubic
millimeters in size.

It could have been hidden
anywhere in that room.

There's one more thing.

The bomb had
a molecular-decay detonator.

Only one race uses
that device, sir.

The Romulans.

How could the Romulans
plant a bomb

on board a Klingon
attack cruiser?

It would be impossible.

Not if the Romulans had help
from one of the Klingons.

Klingons and Romulans
working together?

They've been blood enemies
for 75 years.

Perhaps Duras

or Gowron wishes to improve
that relationship.

A new Klingon alliance
with the Romulans?

If true, it would represent

a fundamental shift of power
in the quadrant.

Indeed. It would
put the Federation

in a very difficult position.

Duras or Gowron?

Gowron came to me alone.

Wanted me to speed up
the ja'chuq.

Offered me a seat on the Council
if I'd help him.

That doesn't suggest
a Romulan connection.

He also implied
I'd end up like K'mpec

if I didn't cooperate.

Captain, I disagree.

It must be Duras.

Why?

We have had
prior dealings with Duras

that show him to be
untrustworthy.

Can you be more specific?

No.

Mr. Worf

we have a conspiracy
on our hands

that could be a direct threat
to the security

of the Federation.

Yes, sir.

As Chief Security Officer

I want you to accompany me
to the next proceeding.

Captain, they will be incensed.

My presence will be disruptive.

Yes. It will.

Computer, list stardates
of the last Enterprise mission

to the Klingon home planet.

Stardates 43685 through 43689.

How many ship's logs
during that period?

43 officer's logs,
ten personal logs.

Is there a personal log
for Lieutenant Worf?

Affirmative.

Access is restricted.

Eliminate all personal logs.

List the remaining 43
in chronological order.

We'll just take them
one at a time.

jlH DoQ...

batlh!

Both your claims

have been properly
made and recorded.

We are ready for the final phase
of the ja'chuq.

There will be a recess
while I review your petitions.

I'm sure you're
as concerned as I am

about the explosion
aboard K'mpec's vessel.

I assume that you are both
continuing your investigations.

The investigations are complete.

They revealed nothing
of any importance.

Now, that's very surprising.

Our analysis turned up some...

startling results.

Will you join us, Lieutenant?

What is this!

He has no place here, Picard!

I will not sit at the same table
with that.

It is my prerogative
to investigate anything

that may be relevant
to the Rite of Succession.

Lieutenant Worf
is my Chief Security Officer.

His presence is required.

We will not proceed.

If you wish to withdraw
from the ja'chuq...

that is your option.

Proceed, Mr. Worf.

What did your investigations
reveal about the explosion?

It was a bomb.

And was your analysis just as...

insightful?

It was a common explosive.

What type?

Triceron.

What about the detonator?

This is pointless!

The findings were inconclusive.

Fortunately, our investigation
was more thorough.

The bomb used
a molecular-decay detonator.

What?

A Romulan device.

I will return to my ship
to confirm these... conclusions

myself.

As will l.

Mr. Worf

please be sure to send a
complete record of our findings

to both vessels
and to the High Council.

Aye, sir.

That will be all.

Computer, interlock

with the Klingon lmperial
information net.

Interlock established.

Federation Ambassador K'Ehleyr

requesting diplomatic access
to High Council record.

Security code pah doQ cha.

Proceed.

Computer, display summary of the
most recent High Council inquiry

regarding Khitomer massacre.

Access denied.

Restricted materials,
du-ko-cha clearance only.

By whose order?

Council Member Duras.

Access biographical files.

Subject name: Councilor Duras.

Advise my counselors
on the Vorn to convene.

There is much to discuss.

Look.

What is this?

Priority message to you
from the home planet.

It seems Ambassador K'Ehleyr

is looking into things
she should not be.

Distract the guard for me.

Yes, sir.

Sir... Excuse me, sir.

You cannot leave your quarters
without an escort.

Come.

I have been informed
of your attempt

to access restricted
Council records.

I have been investigating
what happened at Khitomer.

Not at all an easy task

considering that most
of the records are sealed.

Worf's father was a traitor.

No, the evidence was altered
to make it appear that way.

I found it interesting to read

that your father was also
at Khitomer, and you are the one

who sealed the records.

You dare insult
my father's name?

Don't play the wounded Klingon
for me, Duras.

You don't do it very well.

What happened
in that Council chamber?

How did you get Worf
to take the blame for you?

Do not pursue this matter
further.

The son betrays his people
to the Romulans

just as his father did...

Duras.

One of the Klingons
who died in the explosion

was with Duras,
the other was with Gowron.

I've been examining the bodies

trying to get a clue
as to where the bomb was hidden.

There's always a pattern

in the lacerations
and tissue damage.

It would normally give a clear
indication as to the direction

distance, force of impact.

"Normally"?

In this case, the pattern

was virtually
impossible to detect.

I couldn't understand it
until I looked at the dynoscans.

This wound is different
from all of the others.

It was made
from the inside out.

The bomb was implanted
in one of their forearms.

It's considered a honorable way
for a Klingon to die.

A suicide that takes
an enemy with it.

Which one of them was it?

Duras' man.

When we have more time

I will take you to the holodeck
and demonstrate in more detail.

Medical emergency!

Deck eight, room 142.

Gowron?

No.

Duras.

Alexander...

K'Ehleyr.

K'Ehleyr!

You have never seen death.

Then look.

And always remember.

Stay with the Doctor.

Worf, when did you...?

Multiple stab wounds
to the chest and abdomen.

Too much trauma
to the internal organs.

There wasn't time enough
to take her into stasis.

Where's Worf?

I don't know.

He disappeared
just after I arrived.

Riker to Lieutenant Worf.

Computer, locate
Lieutenant Worf.

Lieutenant Worf
is not aboard the Enterprise.

Where is he?

Lieutenant Worf transported

to the Klingon ship Vorn
at 1730 hours.

On my way.

Duras.

What is that doing here?

He has claimed
the right of vengeance.

You have no rights here,
traitor!

K'Ehleyr... was my mate.

If Lieutenant Worf resists, sir?

He's coming back with us,
one way or another.

Set phasers on maximum stun.

I'm the only one, Worf.

The only one
who can prove your innocence.

Kill me
and you're a traitor forever.

Then that is how it shall be.

Worf!

Mr. Worf, your service
aboard the Enterprise

has been exemplary...

until now.

Sir, I have acted
within the boundaries

of Klingon law and tradition.

The High Council
would seem to agree.

They consider the matter closed.

I don't.

Mr. Worf, the Enterprise crew

currently includes
representatives from 13 planets.

They each have their individual
beliefs and values

and I respect them all

but they have all chosen
to serve Starfleet.

If anyone cannot perform
his or her duty

because of the demands
of their society

they should resign.

Do you wish to resign?

No, sir.

I had hoped you
would not throw away

a promising career.

I understand your loss.

We all admired K'Ehleyr.

A reprimand will appear
on your record.

Dismissed.

Mr. Worf?

Isn't it time for the truth

about your father's innocence
to be told?

After all, you only
accepted this dishonor

to protect the name of Duras
and hold the Empire together.

Now that he has died in disgrace

what is gained
by further silence?

Each member
of the Klingon High Council

has shared in that lie.

They will not be so willing
to admit their own dishonor.

But... the day will come

when my brother and I will...

convince them
to speak the truth.

My parents...

my human parents
will meet us at Starbase 73.

They will care for you.

Why can't I stay with you?

You deserve a home.

A family.

They can provide that.

I cannot.

I miss her, too.

Are you my father?

Yes.

I am your father.
