All language subtitles for Star Trek The Next Generation S03E19

Computer: Welcome to risa.

All that is ours is yours.

We are looking
for the lodging chamber

of captain Jean-Luc pioard.

Computer:
A file scan reveals no record

of a captain picard
currently visiting risa.

When is he expected to arrive?

Computer:
There is no arrival date on file

for any such individual.

Could we have been mistaken?

He will come.

Ri ker:
First officer's log, stardate 43745.2.

We have departed gemaris v
where, for the past two weeks,

captain picard has been serving
as mediator in a trade dispute

between the gemarians

and their nearest neighbor,
the dachlyds.

- Riker: Welcome back, Deanna.
- It's good to be back.

The last two weeks
have been grueling.

I take it the captain was able
to negotiate an agreement

mutually beneficial to both parties?

He was.
I don't know how he managed it.

The gemarians and the dachlyds
are both incredibly stubborn people.

The more difficult the task,
the sweeter the victory.

Go to warp 4, Mr. Bennett.
Set course for starbase 12.

- Report.
- Everything status quo, sir.

Very well.

If, uh, anyone needs me,
I'll be in my ready room.

Sir.

Congratulations.

- — About what?
- About the trade agreement.

Is it my imagination
or is something bothering the captain?

He has been under
a great deal of strain lately.

While we were on gemaris,
he ate sparingly and slept even less.

Anything we can do?

Actually, I have a solution in mind,
but I doubt he'll agree to it.

What would that be?

Our captain needs a vacation.

Picard:
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.

Come.

Sir, it's been brought to my attention

that one of the crew
is neglecting his health again.

How so?

It's a classic case
of stress-related ailments

brought on by ovennork.

Exhaustion, irritability,
muscle spasms.

Yet he insists on ignoring it.

- It doesn't sound too serious.
- And I plan on keeping it that way.

- What's the treatment?
- A week's shore leave.

- Impossible.
- Jean-Luc, I could make that an order.

But you won't. Oh, Beverly,
you know I loathe vacations.

You loathe going on vacations.

Once you're there,
you have a marvelous time.

Why, you told me that your four days
on zytchin III were wonderful.

Look,

The enterprise is scheduled

to spend a week undergoing
maintenance overhaul at starbase 12.

While there,
I promise that I will make full use

of available recreational activity.

Watching some technician
fill deuterium tanks

is not my idea of fun.

I suppose I could find a few hours
to spend on the holodeck.

Forget the holodeck.

Isn't there some place special
you wanna go?

The astrophysics center on icor ix

is holding a symposium
on rogue star clusters.

I had given serious thought
to attending.

The last thing you need
is serious thought.

Jean-Luc, why don't you go
some place beautiful

where you can relax
and be pampered?

You deserve it.

I'll give it serious thought.

- Captain...
- Doctor, enough.

Have you decided
where you're going yet?

Yes, I have, number one. Bridge.

- No, I meant on your shore leave.
- Not you too.

Halt. I know this perfect
little vacation spot.

In fact, it falls within the coordinates
of this sector.

How convenient.
Except, number one,

I have absolutely no intention
of taking a holiday. Is that clear?

- Very clear.
- Good.

I'm glad we got that straightened out.
Resume.

The place is called risa.

And believe me, captain,
it is a paradise.

Warm tropical breezes,

exotic foods, nothing to do
but sit around all day, enjoy the quiet.

- And then, the women...
- The women. Of course.

I'm sure you would find their sybaritic
outlook on life very appealing.

- Oh, I'm sure.
- Riker: I'm glad to hear you say so, sir.

Unfortunately, this vessel
is about to undergo extensive repairs

requiring my personal supervision.

- What about risa?
- Some other time, number one.

- Will, I've just had some terrific news.
- Really?

There's an excellent chance

that my mother may be joining us
on starbase 12.

Your mother?

She's returning home
from a conference on achrady vii,

and she's going to try
to rearrange her schedule

so she can spend some time
visiting with us.

That's wonderful, Deanna.

She mentioned how much
she was looking foward

to seeing you again, captain.

Did she?

Commander,
could I have a word with you?

Yes!

Is something wrong, captain?

Tell me, number one,

is the entire crew aware
of this little scheme

to send me off on holiday?

I believe there are two ensigns
stationed on deck 39

who know nothing about it.

I suppose this means
I can look fonnard

to a week of continual harassment
on this subject?

I admit, I've been feeling
a little fatigued.

I'll see to it that these bags are beamed
directly to your room, sir.

You look very handsome,
if I might say so, captain.

Are you taking all these books?

I thought I'd take some light reading
in case I got bored.

Ulysses by James Joyce?

Ethics, sophistry
and the alternate universe,

ving kuda?
You call that light reading?

To each his own, number one.

Have I mentioned how imaginative
the risian women are, sir?

Too often, commander.

I do have one request, sir.

You want me to bring you back
a souvenir?

It's called a horga'hn.

I don't think you'll have any trouble
finding one.

Consider it done.

Captain, I would feel better

if you would allow me
to assign a security officer to you.

We will be out of communication range
when we leave orbit.

I really don't think
that will be necessary, Mr. Worf.

Risa has a reputation of being
a most peaceful planet.

Aye, sir.

Well, the ship is yours,
number one.

- Enjoy your trip, captain.
- I'll try, counselor.

He's gonna have a great time.

- Vash: Oh.
- Oh. I beg your pardon.

God, it's so good to see you again.

I think you've mistaken me
for someone else.

You know, I think you might be right.

Welcome to risa.

A simple handshake
would have sufficed.

Woman: Return.

My apologies.

I fear I have yet to master
the art of hoverball.

So it would seem.

My name is joval. I'm employed here.
Is there anything you require

to make your stay
a more pleasant one?

Picard: Hm.

- You find me amusing.
- Picard: No.

It's just that you are the fifth woman
to ask me that question this morning.

All I require is to sit in the sun,
read my book alone.

And aftennard?

I really hadn't thought
that far ahead.

Then may I suggest a swim
followed by a massage?

Some other time, perhaps.

I don't understand.

You say you wish to be alone,
yet you carry the horga'hn.

Well, I just purchased it.

Why?

Are you implying
this has some special meaning?

The horga'hn is the risian symbol
of sexuality.

To own one
is to call forth its powers.

To display it is to announce
you are seeking jamaharon.

- Riker.
- Do you seek jamaharon?

I don't even know what it means.

- The horga'hn is for a friend.
- I see, someone close to you.

- Picard: That's right.
- Someone you love.

I wouldn't go that far.

Heh. Well, your attitude
is most puzzling.

I will leave you now to your book.

You're blocking the suns.

I know you're working with her.
I warn you, it's a mistake.

- Are you addressing me?
- Don't bother to deny it.

I've seen the two of you together.

I don't know what the devil
you're talking about.

But whatever it is, I assure you,
it's no concern of mine.

Tell her I want the disk
returned to me immediately.

Perhaps I have not made myself clear.
You have the wrong man.

I am rapidly losing Patience
with you.

I demand you talk business.

You'll find ferengi demands
carry little weight with me.

Heh. Obviously you've never dealt
with my people before.

On the contrary, all too often.

Then you know the ferengi
are not to be trifled with.

Or trusted.

You dare to insult me?

I advise you to listen closely,
for I will not say this again.

I came to risa for a holiday,
nothing more.

I have no knowledge of this woman
of whom you speak,

nor have I set eyes on any disk.

You expect me to believe
such feeble lies?

I don't care what you believe!

This is not over yet, human.
The disk is mine.

And so is the woman.
Remember that.

Vash: Hello.

- Oh, it's you.
- Oh, that's not much of a greeting.

Look, I don't wish to appear rude,
but I am not seeking jamaharon.

All right.

But you really should try it
sometime.

If I try it, it will be at a time
of my own choosing.

That's fine with me.

It's not as though I was offering
to help you find it.

I, uh...

I assumed that because of the way
you welcomed me the other day...

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

I don't recall saying
I was embarrassed.

It's just that I prefer to be acquainted
with the women that I kiss.

That's understandable.
The name's vash.

Jean-Luc picard.

So tell me about yourself, Jean-Luc.

Would you rather I guess?

I can be very persistent.

I am the captain
of a federation starship.

That explains it.

Explains what?

I noticed you arguing
with that ferengi.

For a moment there, it looked like
it was going to come to blows.

You're the woman
he was talking about.

I hope your disagreement
wasn't over me.

For that information,
you'll have to ask him.

Where are you going?

Picard: To find some privacy.
Vash: Wait a second.

What did he tell you?
I bet there wasn't a bit of truth to it.

- And you said you didn't know her.
- I don't, and I don't want to.

Return the disk to me
and all will be forgiven.

The disk doesn't belong to you, sovak.
It never did.

It would seem the two of you have
a lot to discuss. If you'll excuse me.

Jean-Luc, I'm sorry. Perhaps I could
explain this to you later?

Perhaps you can.

I have a proposal
I believe you'll find most interesting.

Save your breath.

I'm willing to pay you your weight
in gold in exchange for the disk.

Is that not a generous offer?

I must have that woman.

What the hell are you doing
in my room?

We are vorgons.

I am ajur. This is boratus.

We come from the 27th century.

We traveled 300 years into the past
to find you.

All right, let's assume, for the moment,
that I believe you,

that you are indeed from the future.

What is it you want from me?

- Have you heard of the tox uthat?
- What?

I'm aware of the legend.

It tells of a visitor f...

From the future,

who left behind a mysterious device
known as the tox uthat.

Essentially, that story is correct.

- Then the uthat actually exists?
- Boratus: Yes.

It was invented by a scientist
named Kai dano

in the mid-27th century.

The uthat
is a quantum phase inhibitor

capable of halting all nuclear reaction
within a star.

But why bring such a powerful weapon
into the past?

Boratus:
Criminals attempted to steal the device,

so he fled back to the 22nd century
where he hid it.

Ajur and I were the security team
assigned to retrieve the uthat.

I gather you were unsuccessful.

Boratus: Yes. When we returned,

we began to search through
the historical records

for some clue to the uthat's fate.

And your search led you to me?

We came upon a brief account

stating that you had discovered
an object of unknown origin

while vacationing in risa.
From its description,

a crystal
fitting into the palm of the hand,

we surmised it could very well be
the tox uthat.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but I haven't found anything.

Including peace,
which is the only thing I'm looking for.

You will find such a device, captain.

To us, it is already part of history.

And, uh, if I find it, what then?

You will give it to us immediately
so that we may return with it.

Well, the uthat belongs to your time,
not mine.

May I come in?

Excuse the mess.

Sovak has taken
to searching my room periodically.

This what he's looking for?

I'm sorry I had to hide it like that.

I was afraid he'd start
searching me next.

Picard: Hm.

This disk must contain
some very valuable information.

I doubt it's anything
you'd be interested in.

- Depends.
- On what?

On whether or not
it has something to do

with the tox uthat.

Did sovak tell you that?

Well, let's just say I've heard rumors

that the uthat is located
somewhere on risa.

Look, the last thing I need
is a partner.

- So it's true.
- Have a seat.

I don't suppose you ever heard
of professor Samuel estragon?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have.

He spent half his life
searching for the tox uthat.

I served as his personal assistant
for the past five years.

Shortly before he died,

he uncovered new data
pinpointing its location.

And that disk contains
his research notes and maps.

And you're continuing his work?

- Exactly.
- With a ferengi as an associate?

Sovak and I definitely are not
working together.

But the two of you are
very well acquainted.

Well, at times, he aided the professor
in his explorations.

Especially in situations
that weren't quite ethical.

And now with typical ferengi logic,

he's convinced
that the tox uthat belongs to him.

All he cares about is selling it
to the highest bidder.

Whereas you, of course,
have a nobler purpose in mind.

I told the professor I'd present it
to the daystrom institute for study.

- Ah.
- But first I have to find it.

And that won't be easy with sovak
watching me every minute.

I'll go in your place.

And what about me?

You'll remain here. It's safer.

Is that an order?

Absolutely.

This isn't a starship, Jean-Luc.

I don't follow orders.

Oh, I see.

Besides, you'd never find it
without me.

The professor's notes are in code.

From the moment I met you,
I knew you were going to be trouble.

You look like a man
who could handle trouble.

So where exactly is the location?

It's about 27 kilometers due east.

There's some subterranean caves
there.

That's where you'll find the uthat.

I'll meet you in the lobby
in 15 minutes.

Be punctual.

Oh, and, uh, I advise you
to change your clothing.

Vash: Jean-Luc,

we're going to make
a wonderful team.

I expected such treachery.

Did you think you could sneak away
from me so easily?

The disk. Where is it?

Didn't anyone tell you
weapons aren't allowed on risa?

You're making a grave mistake
putting your trust in this woman.

It would be a worse mistake
to trust you.

Sovak: Silence.

Do you know how she acquired
the disk in the first place?

Sovak.

I paid her to steal it.

But instead, she betrayed me

and used my money
to make her way here.

It didn't happen that way.

She's a greedy
and unscrupulous woman.

A perfect mate for a ferengi.

You're becoming quite annoying,
sovak.

As are you, human.

Perhaps I should kill you
and then take the disk.

No, wait. You can have it.

Sovak: Unh!

Unh! Oh. Oh.

See? I told you
we'd make a wonderful team.

We've got a long trip.

Have you calculated
how much further we have to go?

Another 11 kilometers.

We should stay here for the night.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Actually, we've... we've made
better time than I expected.

Well, I'll take that as a compliment.

As it was intended.

Jean-Luc,

I'm afraid I haven't been
completely honest with you.

Forgive me if I don't act surprised.

Sovak did pay me
to hand over the disk.

So you did steal it.

It wasn't stealing.
The professor had died.

I had already spent five years
of my life tracking down the uthat.

But you took sovak's money.

It was the only way I could afford
to get to risa.

As for sovak, he got exactly
what he deserved.

Well,

any woman who can beat a ferengi
at his own game bears watching.

I'll take that as another compliment.

I'm flattered.

Picard: Hm.

Well, we should get some sleep.

You know, Jean-Luc,
it's lucky for you we met.

If it wasn't for me...

If it wasn't for me, you'd still be
back there sitting in the sun,

relaxing...

That happens to be
why I came to risa.

I'm sure you hated
every minute of it.

That kind of vacation
isn't for a man like you.

- You need excitement.
- Excitement?

Spending the night in a damp cave,

chasing after something
we shall probably never find.

- You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?
- Ah.

I just wanted to hear you say it.

Good. Now, let's get some sleep.

I'll never forget
that look on your face

when you thought
I was offering you jamaharon.

Now, that was a simple
misunderstanding.

You did seem disappointed
when I turned you down.

You are outrageous.

Thank you.

You're pretty stimulating yourself.

Don't you see? We're a lot alike.

That's probably
why we get along so well.

You call this getting along?

Fine.

We don't get along,
we're not getting along.

- I didn't say that.
- No, no.

If you wanna believe

that we're not getting along,
that's all right with me.

Still think I'm trouble?

I'm sure of it.

Vash: This is it.

We've reached
the end of our journey.

Do you have the exact location?

Seven meters from the opening,
along the wall.

That should make it about here.

What the...?

Is something wrong?

I can't get a reading on this.

There must be starithium ore
in these rocks.

Then that leaves us
but one alternative.

Vash: Picard.

A little premature, aren't we?

We are to be a witness
to a great moment, picard.

Who the hell are they?

They are, uh, security officers
from the 27th century.

They're here to take back
the uthat.

You knew about this
and didn't say anything?

I'm sorry, vash.

Would you have brought me here
if I had told you?

- Probably not.
- My point exactly.

So the betrayer is herself betrayed.

Well, you've put together
quite a little team.

Do not interrupt the captain.

Quiet.

Picard: How did you get here?

I found the disk in her room.

That's impossible.

I made a copy as a precaution,
but I burned it before we left.

Ah, only the outer casing
was incinerated.

Now, I had no intention
of interrupting you.

Please, continue digging.

No one told you to stop digging,
human.

I see no reason to continue.

You will do as I say.

Look about you, sovak.

By now it must be obvious,
even to you.

The uthat is not here.

Is this some pathetic attempt
at trickery?

Of course it's here.

We simply haven't found it yet.

Are you saying

that the professor's findings
were wrong?

It would appear so.

But how can that be?
His evidence was ovennhelming.

Enough with this foolishness.

Can't you see
he's trying to deceive us?

Return to work this instant.

I'm afraid he's right, sovak.

According to the disk,
we should have reached it hours ago.

Lies. Treachery.

This cannot be happening.
Not another failure.

Not after having come so close.

It is most puzzling.

It's over, sovak.

I will not be cheated
out of my prize.

Tell him the professor's research
is irrefutable.

I don't know anymore.

Then step aside.

The uthat is here.

Somewhere.
It's just waiting to be found.

It can't hide from me forever.

Five years of my life, wasted.

There will be other treasures
to be found, vash.

I hope you won't mind,

but, um, I need to be alone.

Riker:
Enterprise to captain picard.

Picard here.

Go ahead, commander.

We hope we're not interrupting
anything important, captain,

but we wanted to inform you

that we have achieved orbit
around risa,

and we're ready to beam you aboard
at your convenience.

I'll be returning shortly, commander.

In the interim,

stand ready to initiate
transporter code 14 at my signal.

Transporter code 14?

You heard me, number one.

- Yes, sir.
- Picard out.

Picard: Leaving so soon?

Vash: Jean-Luc.

I was just about
to come say goodbye.

Well, then,

I've saved you the bother.

I wanna put this all behind me
as soon as possible.

You understand?

Of course.

There's just one last thing
you can do for me.

Anything.

Tell me where you've hidden
the tox uthat.

That's not funny.

You never intended to burn
that second disk.

If you had, you wouldn't have been
so careless

as to allow sovak
to salvage any of it.

You wanted him to follow us,

so that he could see for himself

that the uthat
wasn't at the cave site.

That was the only way
he could be convinced

that your quest had been futile.

But how could I have known
the uthat wasn't there?

Because you'd already been there
once before.

Probably the moment you arrived
on the planet.

That's when you found it.

You're a man of many talents,
Jean-Luc.

A piece of the future.

A very dangerous piece.

Were you really going to give this
to the daystrom institute?

Well, maybe not give it.

Five years is a huge investment,
Jean-Luc.

I deserve to make
a reasonable profit.

Congratulations, picard.
We knew you would not fail us.

You're not gonna just hand it over,
are you?

You didn't trust me,

what makes you think
you could trust them?

I assume the vorgons have proof
to back up their claim.

Our being here is proof enough.

Wait a second. Vorgons?

The professor's notes
said that it was two vorgons,

a male and a female,

who attempted to steal the uthat
in the first place.

For all we know, it could be them.

You, uh...

You're gonna have to prove
that you are who you say you are.

You yourself said
the uthat belongs to the future.

But not necessarily to you.

You will return what is ours.

Enterprise, code 14,

lock on to present coordinates,
two-second delay.

You all right?

Go. Return to your own time.

There's nothing for you here.

History recorded
that you destroyed the uthat.

You have fulfilled your destiny
all too well, picard.

I don't suppose there are
any openings for an archaeologist

aboard the enterprise.

Somehow I doubt you'd find
life aboard a starship

suitable to your taste.

Probably not.

I could never tolerate
all that discipline.

What are your plans?

I thought I might explore the ruins
on sarthong v.

Oh! Unbelievable.

You are out of your mind.

The sarthongians are merciless
to trespassers.

Why, Jean-Luc,

you really do care about me.

Promise me

you will try and stay out of trouble.

I always try.

I wish we had more time together.

Perhaps we do.

The vorgons are time travelers.

Now they know where and when
the uthat can be found,

they may very well come back
and try for it again.

So we may be doing this
all over again.

Welcome aboard, captain.

Status report, number one.

Riker:
All went well on starbase 12.

I think you'll find the ship
in splendid condition.

I'll present my compliments
to the crew.

Oh, yes. Number one,

about that horga'hn you requested.

Yes, sir?

You and I need to have a little chat
about that.

Was it a relaxing trip, captain?

I knew he'd have a great time.
