All language subtitles for Star Trek The Next Generation S04E19

You were like a brother to me.

Do you remember? We used to play
in the park near the lake.

Yes, of course. Every summer
you would come to bergerac.

You used to make swords
out of the reeds.

And when you'd cut your hand,
you would come running to me,

and I would say,
"tsk, tsk, tsk, let me see.

Oh, how did you do that?"

- Playing near the porte de nesle.
- Crusher: Oh.

And how many did you play against?

- Barclay: No more than a hundred.
- Tell me.

- Let it go.
- What?

- Let it go.
- Ugh, let it go.

Ah, let it go, you...

You tell me what you were
going to say. Do you dare?

Crusher: I do dare.

I love someone. Barclay: Ah.

He does not know.

- Not yet.

But he is proud, noble,
brave and beautiful.

Barclay: Unh, beautiful.
Crusher: What's the matter?

Barclay:
With me? Nothing. It is my hand.

- He is in the guards?
- Since this morning.

Baron Christian de neuvillette.
In your own regiment.

- Ah.
- Promise me.

Promise me to be his friend.

I promise.

Oh, I love you. I must go now.

Oh, and tell him to write me.

A hundred men. What courage.

Oh, but I...

I... I have done better since.

Woman: Well done. Man: Bravo.

- Bravo.
- Wonderful. Wonderful.

Man 1: Bravo. Man 2: Bravo.

Lieutenant barclay's
performance was adequate,

but clearly not rooted
in the method approach.

- I do not understand why...
- Data, because it's polite.

Woman: Bravo. Man: Bravo.

Bravo.

Good job, reg. And only what?
Six weeks worth of lessons?

Good job, period.

I... well, we have a patient teacher.

Uh, worf, I have an opening
in my workshop.

Thank you, uh, counselor.

You've come a long way, reg.

After, uh, more rehearsals
than I can count, heh.

I don't just mean your acting ability.

It takes a great deal of courage
to put yourself on display like that.

You... you think... think so?

There was a time when nothing

could have dragged you onto a stage
in front of an audience.

You've made tremendous progress.

I guess.

Don't you think so?

Well, I just feel more comfortable,
uh, playing somebody else.

Maybe all of this is not any better
than escaping into a holodeck fantasy.

I disagree.

This isn't fantasy, it's theater.

You used to withdraw
onto the holodeck.

You isolated yourself
inside your own imagination,

avoiding contact with real people.

Look at yourself now.
Look at all the other people you're with.

You're not just acting,
you're interacting.

Give yourself some credit,
Mr. Barclay.

Maybe you're right.

Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 44704.2.

We have arrived at the argus array,
a remote subspace telescope

at the very edge
of federation space.

The unmanned structure

mysteriously stopped relaying its data
nearly two months ago.

The fusion reactors that power
the array are extremely unstable.

There is a high risk of overload.

What about the computer systems?

They do not seem
to be functioning at all, sir.

Captain, I'm picking up
an unidentified device.

1.8 kilometers from the array.

On-screen.

Magnify.

That's some kind of probe.

I'll bet that's
what damaged the array.

Is it emitting
any signals, lieutenant?

Negative, sir. I show no activity.

Mr. La forge, why not go out
and take a closer look?

Aye, sir. Lieutenant barclay,
report to the main shuttlebay.

Enterprise, this is shuttle 5 in position,
ready to begin a short-range scan.

Riker: Proceed, shuttle 5.

Reg, why don't we begin with
the passive high-res series, all right?

- Electromagnetic band?
- Give it a try.

I'm picking up
visual wavelengths only

between forty-five,
uh, forty-five hundred

and seven thousand angstroms.

Let's try the neutron densitometer.

Nothing.

Hmm, doesn't want to give up
any of its secrets.

Let's go to an active scan.

- No modulation.
- Really?

Oh, you are definitely not
from our neighborhood.

Increase to 3.0.

- Commander?
- Yeah, reg?

Thanks for, um, assigning me
to this mission.

Don't mention it.
You're one of my top engineers,

it's about time you got in
on some of the interesting stuff.

This... this is why I'm in starfleet.

There's still no, uh, modulation.

Well, hit it with
the positron emission.

Unh, ooh.

What was that?

Computer's down, reg. Re...

Reg.

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.

Captain's log, supplemental.

An intense energy surge
from the alien probe

has severely disabled
the shuttle's on board computer.

The away team has been
transported directly to sickbay

where lieutenant barclay
remains under observation.

Any indication of the probe's
energy source, data?

No, sir. Power emissions do not match
any known radiation patterns.

We have not encountered
this technology before, sir.

Very well. Isolate the probe
and place it in tow.

We'll take it to science station 402
in the kohlan system.

Captain, the probe
has begun to move.

It is approaching the enterprise.

- Shields up.
- Aye, sir.

There was enough energy in that flash
to overload your optic nerves.

It knocked you unconscious.

- My visor must have filtered it out.
- Exactly.

But there was no apparent retinal
damage, and the cornea looks fine.

But I'm still waiting for
a full sero-amino readout.

I'll call you when it comes in.

I'd like this done
as quickly as possible, ensign.

You shouldn't have to wait
too long for the results.

What do you mean?

Couldn't you use a global mode in your
scanner? It would be a lot faster.

That's not possible.

We're talking about human cells here,
not isolinear circuits.

I think you'd better stick
to engineering, lieutenant.

A cell has
an electromagnetic signature

just as a circuit element does.

Theoretically, it should work
with just a few adjustments.

I could set it up for you if you'd like.

Probe now closing at
15.3 meters per second.

Collision course.

Captain, sensors are reading
no particulate emissions

or subspace field distortions.

Then how is it able to move?

Method of propulsion
is unknown, sir.

Ensign, take us away from it.
One-quarter impulse.

Anaya: Aye, sir.

The probe is matching
our speed and course.

Captain, an energy field
is forming around the device.

Intensity is 3.2 terawatts
and increasing.

Sir, the shuttlecraft shield

did not provide sufficient protection
for its computer.

Our computer
may also be vulnerable.

I recommend withdrawal
to a safe distance.

Ensign Anaya, full about.
Half impulse.

One-half impulse.

The probe is following.

Options, number one?

We can't use photon torpedoes. An
explosion this close could cripple us.

Sir, recommend full phasers.

Proceed.

Firing phasers.

No effect, captain.

The probe's field intensity
is continuing to build, sir.

We are in danger.

Riker to la forge.
Can you increase phaser power?

Attempting to now, commander.

Isolate phasers 80 to 120.

- Shunt all the plasma to...
- To the emitters.

Yes, sir, I'm already on it.

Ready.

Phasers are as hot
as we can make them, captain.

Mr. Worf. Worf: Aye, sir.

Nothing.

- Go to warp 2.
- Aye, sir.

Warp 2.

The probe is still with us, sir.

At warp 2? Worf: Yes, sir.

Captain, the probe's energy output
is overloading our shields.

Failure anticipated in 47 seconds.

I'm willing to entertain suggestions.

Captain, we are dropping to impulse.

Warp power's been transferred
to the shield grid.

Yeah, but by whom?

Barclay. What are you doing?

Lieutenant barclay
to captain picard.

You can fire photon torpedoes,
maximum yield, full spread.

We're too close.

Barclay:
I'm certain the shields will hold.

Mr. La forge?

I don't know how he did it,
but shield strength

has been increased by 300 percent.

It should be enough, captain.

Mr. Worf, photon torpedoes,
maximum yield, full spread.

Thank you, Mr. Barclay.

You're welcome, captain.
Barclay out.

I'm sorry if I overstepped
my authority.

Don't mention it.

Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 44705.3.

The enterprise has destroyed
the alien probe.

But now we are left with the difficult
task of repairing the argus telescope.

Failure to do so would represent
an incalculable scientific loss.

Mr. Barclay, everyone's still trying
to figure out exactly how you did it.

Well, it just occurred to me that
I could set up a frequency harmonic

between the deflector
and the shield grid

using the warp field generator
as a power flow anti-attenuator

and that of course,
naturally, created

an amplification
of the inherent energy output.

Uh-huh, I see that.

I'm glad you could join us,
Mr. Barclay.

- Your report, Mr. La forge.
- La forge: Ahem.

Each of the telescope's
subspace antenna clusters

is powered by its own fusion reactor.

But a single computer
controls them all.

So all 18 reactors were affected
when the computer was damaged?

La forge: Mm-hm, that's right.

They're starting to overload
and could eventually go critical.

The explosion would
destroy the array

and I wouldn't want to be next door
when that happens.

A standard isolation procedure
would be advisable.

I agree. We'll cut off each reactor
from the damaged control system

and repair them one by one.

- Riker: How long will that take?
- Two to three weeks at least.

- All right, Mr. La forge.
- I don't agree.

We could repair all of the reactors
simultaneously, instead of one by one.

Simultaneously?

- All 18?
- Yes, sir.

But the argus computer
is inoperable.

Not entirely. The core memory
is still intact

and we could program
a completely new control system.

An interesting suggestion,
lieutenant.

However, that approach would require
much more time than our original plan,

at least seven weeks.

I could have it ready for you
in two days.

What?

If you could assist me
in the morning, commander.

Sure, reg.

The moon, yes, that'll be my home.

My paradise.

I shall find there
all the souls that I love.

Socrates.

Galileo.

And when I arrive,
they will question my worthiness.

"What the devil is he doing
there among us?"

Philosopher, scientist,
poet, musician, duelist.

Here lies hercule savinien
de cyrano de bergerac.

I would not have you weep any less

for that charming, good,
and handsome Christian.

I only ask this:

That as the great cold
surrounds my bones,

you allow a double meaning
for your mourning veil.

And when you let fall
your tears for him,

some few will be for me.

That was a real improvement.

Same time? Day after tomorrow?

Same time.

Troi: Reg?

May I join you?

Oh, of course, please.
Sit down, counselor.

Hard at work.

I'm getting prepared
for tomorrow's meeting in engineering.

We're planning our repair strategy.

I really enjoyed the scene
you just performed.

- You're a very forgiving audience.
- Not at all.

I thought you were brilliant.

You've changed.

Is that a professional opinion?

Heh, pure observation.

You know, it's true. I can't explain it.

In the past few days,
I've found confidence

I never knew was there.

I'm proud of you, reg.

I'm glad for you too.

- Well, heh, I'd better be going.
- Must you?

Wouldn't you like to take a walk
with me through the arboretum?

The zalnias should be in bloom.

Reg, as your former counselor,

I don't think it would be appropriate.

I don't need a counselor.

What I need is the company
of a charming, intelligent woman.

Good night, Mr. Barclay.

Where's lieutenant barclay?

I stopped by his quarters
on my way over. He wasn't there.

Computer, location
of lieutenant barclay.

Computer:
Lieutenant barclay is on holodeck 3.

G, sub I, j oft,

as t approaches infinity.

G oft, over g-naught.

So it is. So, heh, it is.

I still don't see how
you're going to incorporate

quantum principle
into general relativity

without adjusting
the cosmological constant

a lot more than you're doing here.

But if we increase the value,
as you suggest,

we must face the possibility
of 26 dimensions instead often.

I certainly could not, heh-heh-heh.

If the semiset curved
into the subatomic,

the infinities might
cancel each other out.

- They just might.
- La forge: Ahem.

We had a meeting at 0700.

I'm sorry, commander.

- Thank you, professor.
- Hmm.

End program.

What was that all about?

I had some ideas late last night.

I needed to consult
with the computer

about some quantum
electrodynamic calculations.

A holodeck Einstein program
seemed like the best way.

- I guess I went a little overboard.
- A little?

Most of the stuff on that blackboard
was way out of my league.

- And yours too.
- Not really.

I just haven't thought
along those lines before.

It's all pretty evident now, and if you
would put your mind to it, I'm sure...

Reg. Ever since our
run-in with that probe,

- something's different about you.
- What?

Because I'm beginning to behave
like the rest of the crew?

With confidence in what I'm doing?

You just spent the
entire night arguing

grand unification theories
with Albert Einstein.

- Yes, but...
- Reg, something's happened to you.

And we can't ignore that.

Yes, I've finally become the person
I've always wanted to be.

Do we have to ask why?

Incredible.

The production of
neurotransmitters in your brain

has jumped by over 500 percent.
Pre and post-synaptic membranes

have increased permeability
to match it.

I couldn't even guess
at your IQ level now.

Probably somewhere between
1,200 and 1,450.

But that isn't all.
The corpus callosum,

the connecting bridge between
both sides of the brain,

it is so active now
that the hemispheres

are essentially behaving as one.

So it's not just raw intelligence
we're talking about here.

No. Creativity, resourcefulness,
inspiration, imagination,

they've all been enhanced.

Lieutenant, you could very well be
the most advanced human being

who has ever lived.

Riker:
Whatever that alien probe did to him,

barclay now seems to know more
about the internal workings

of the enterprise
than anyone else on board.

Picard: The question is,
how are we going to deal with it?

We could confine him
to his quarters.

How can we do that?
What's he done?

I mean, we're talking about locking
a man up for being too smart.

If he's been influenced by an alien,
wouldn't that put us all at risk?

Not necessarily. It might be something
as simple as an allergic reaction

to a bee sting.

Has Mr. Barclay done anything
that could be considered

potentially threatening?

Well, he did make
a pass at me last night.

A good one.

I'd hardly consider that a threat.

No, but it's certainly
unusual behavior for barclay.

Beverly:
There's something else, captain.

He taught violin technique
at the music school last night.

I didn't know barclay
played the violin.

He didn't. Not until last night.

Look, if we want to save the array, we
need barclay. It's as simple as that.

Until he does something
more menacing,

I see no reason why we should
prevent him from continuing his work.

Larson:
Larson to commander la forge.

Go ahead, lieutenant.

We're having trouble containing
reactor 9, sir. It's starting to chain.

La forge: I'm on my way.

You said he made a pass at you,
but you failed to mention

whether he was successful or not.

Thermal levels up 177 percent.

Comparable increase
in neutron emissions.

Is the interface between the computer
and our array still in operation?

Yes. But our computer
is too slow to direct the repairs.

The parameters are changing
too quickly for it to keep up.

Then we'll have to try
a remote shutdown from here.

Transmitting commands
to the array now, sir.

Starting close down sequence.

Brower, increase the intake of liquid
helium three into the reactor wall.

We've got to cool this off.

Transmitting commands.
Thermal levels increasing, sir.

- What happened?
- Barclay: Unclear.

The interface isn't fast enough!

Commander la forge, overload
indications on argus generator 5,

- 7 and 14.
- Damn.

Well, I can't do anything from here.
I have to find a better interface.

La forge to bridge.

We're looking at
a cascade reactor failure on the argus.

I don't think we're
gonna pull this one out.

Reactor 9 will reach critical
in ten minutes, 43 seconds.

The subsequent explosion
will create a chain reaction

along the entire length
of the array, sir.

Ensign, stand by for
a jump to warp 2.

Anaya: Yes, sir.

La forge, you've got ten minutes.
Mr. Worf, red alert.

Aye, commander.

Computer, begin new program.
Create as follows: Work station chair.

Now, create a standard alphanumeric
console positioned for the left hand.

Now, an iconic display console
positioned for the right hand.

Tie both consoles into the enterprise
main computer core

utilizing neural scan interface.

Computer:
There is no such device on file.

No problem.
Here's how you build it.

Argus reactor 9
28 seconds to critical.

- Get us out of here.
- Warp 2, ensign.

Yes, sir.

Helm's not responding, sir.

Captain, we have lost
computer control.

What?

- Twelve seconds to critical.
- Go to manual.

- I'm attempting that, sir, but...
- There's not enough time.

Computer is coming back online, sir.

Data: Captain.

The argus reactors
are shutting down.

We are no longer in danger, sir.

What happened?

Unknown, sir.

Geordi, what did you do?

It wasn't me, sir.

Computer, how were the
argus reactors shut down?

Barclay: A neural interface was
created to expedite the repairs.

Barclay?

Computer, respond.

Barclay: I am responding, sir.
I am sorry if I caused you any alarm.

It was necessary in order
to secure the array.

Barclay!

Barclay? What's going on? Barclay!

Barclay:
Yes, commander. It's me.

Barclay: I'm sorry,
captain. I was only trying to help.

Our computer was too
slow to compensate

for the overload on the array.

So I created an interface
that communicated my thoughts

directly to the central
processing unit.

Exactly what does that mean?

Barclay:
My body is as you see it here.

But much of my higher
brain functions and memory

have been transferred to the
starboard computer core.

Mr. Barclay, remove yourself
from the computer system.

Leave the holodeck.

Barclay:
I'm afraid I can't do that, sir.

And why not?

Barclay:
My primary cerebral functions

are now operating almost entirely
from within the computer.

They have expanded to such a
degree that it would be impossible

to return to the confines
of my human brain.

Any attempt to do so would
mean my death.

That's it. I've disconnected the
audio and visual pickups.

We can talk without being
monitored by the computer.

By barclay.

Picard: Report, Mr. La forge.

It is now almost impossible
to tell where barclay ends

and the computer begins.

He's actually rewriting the isolinear
chips each time he extends himself

a little further.

- How do we get him out of there?
- We don't.

Not without killing him.

This is an intolerable situation.
I have no wish to harm him,

but I cannot allow Mr. Barclay
to continue to act as the computer.

I don't care how smart he is.

Lieutenant barclay has not
yet extended himself

into the engineering subsystems.

It may be possible to establish an
odn bypass directly to the bridge.

But that still won't give
us control of the ship.

No, but it would give us access
to the propulsion systems.

Enough to get us
to the next starbase.

How long would it take
to set that up?

A few hours.

Make it so.

Barclay: Commander la forge.

Yeah, reg.

Barclay: I thought
you would be in your quarters.

No, I'm, uh, just catching up
on some work, you know?

That, uh, level-three diagnostic
we talked about.

How are you doing?

Barclay: I wish I could convey
to you what it's like for me now.

What I've become.

Yeah? Try.

Barclay: I can conceive
almost infinite possibilities

and can fully explore
each of them in a nanosecond.

[Perceive the universe
as a single equation

and it is so simple. I understand.

You understand?

Barclay: Everything.

Well,

do you understand
how this happened to you?

Barclay: I believe it is a gift.

That I have been chosen
to fulfill a great purpose.

Barclay:
Do you suppose all of this

has changed the way
people think about me?

To tell you the truth, reg,
we don't know what to think.

Barclay:
I've been concerned about that,

but soon everyone will understand
what I can do for humanity.

What do you mean?

Barclay: We have always perceived
the maximum speed of the enterprise

as a function of warp.
But I know now there are no limits.

We will explore new worlds

that we could never before
have reached in our lifetime.

I will take us to them.

Captain, I am picking up
subspace distortion.

Mr. Data?

This disturbance is the result
of a highly charged graviton field

emanating from our warp nacelles.

It is creating a severe bias
in the subspace continuum.

Mr. Barclay, are you responsible
for this graviton field disturbance?

Barclay:
Yes, sir. I'm altering subspace

in a way that's never
been conceived of before.

I'm fairly certain
it will allow us to travel

halfway across the galaxy
in a matter of only...

Mr. Barclay, I want you
to stop this experiment for now.

Barclay:
Captain, if you'd only allow me to sh...

Mr. Barclay, this is a direct order.
Discontinue whatever it is you're doing.

Barclay:
I really would rather not, sir.

I'm positive that you'll be pleased with
the result once I've finished showing...

Audio is disconnected.
You may speak freely.

How long before
the odn process is in place?

I have been monitoring
geordi's progress.

It will be operational in 17 minutes.

Captain, let me go to the holodeck
and try and talk to him.

Sir, the subspace distortion
continues to increase.

Barclay: Hello, Deanna.

Reg.

Barclay: I'm sorry we can't
take that walk in the arboretum.

Heh. So am I.

Reg, you've frightened all of us.

I'm sure that wasn't your intent.

Barclay: Young children
are sometimes frightened of the world.

That doesn't mean that their parents
should let them stay in their cribs.

Are we children to you now?

Barclay: I can see so much more
than you are capable of.

You should trust that.

Deanna, I've always wanted
to earn your respect.

You've got it. From all of us.

We don't need any more convincing.

Please, obey the captain's orders.

Stop whatever it is you're doing.

Barclay: You must trust me.

How can we trust an officer
who doesn't follow orders?

Barclay: Trust me.

The captain will do everything
in his power to stop you.

Picard:
Picard to la forge. Status?

Ready, captain.

Picard: Proceed.

Acknowledged.

Barclay: Commander?

What?

Barclay: You're too late.

Captain, we have not regained control
of the propulsion systems.

The odn bypass to the bridge
has been blocked.

- Barclay!
- Barclay: Yes, commander riker.

Riker:
Whatever it is you're doing out there,

you've got to stop it.

Worf: Sir, we're going in.

Mr. Barclay, respond at once.

Audio's disconnected.

Lieutenant, take a security team
to holodeck 3.

Disconnect Mr. Barclay
from the computer.

Aye, captain.

Barclay:
I want you to know, lieutenant worf,

that I understand
your duty in this matter.

Phasers. Maximum setting.

And that I will in no way
take your actions personally.

Conduits.

La forge.
Initiate stabilization procedure.

La forge: Resetting stabilizers
to match subspace flow matrix.

Stand by.

He is protected by a force field.
We could not disconnect him.

Mr. Data?

We are experiencing
a quantum-level oscillation delay,

doubling in intensity
every 12.3 seconds.

Bio-cellular disruption is imminent.

Sir!

Where are we, ensign?

Unless something's wrong
with our sensors, sir,

we're almost 30,000 light
years from where we were.

Center of the galaxy.

Sir, our heading's been altered.
Approaching planetary cluster.

Captain, all systems
are back under helm control.

The computer has returned
to normal functioning.

Alien:

Captain.

Emotive. Electro-chemical
stimulus-response.

Cranial plate. Bipedal locomotion.

Endoskeletal.
Contiguous external integument.

I am captain Jean-Luc picard
of the federation starship enterprise.

Hierarchical collective
command structure.

Who are you?

Interrogative.

I am interrogative, yes.

And I would appreciate
an explanation.

I think I can help you
with that, captain.

Mr. Barclay. I thought it would be fatal
if you left the holodeck.

The cytherians
have reintegrated me, sir.

Cytherians, heh.

The probe was designed to instruct
outsiders on how to reach this system.

But technologies
are not always compatible.

They failed with the argus computer

and with the computer
on board the shuttle.

But they were able to reprogram me.

What do you want of us?

The same as you.

Mr. Barclay?

You're both on the same
mission, captain.

- Mission?
- Yes, sir.

The cytherians are exploring
the galaxy, just as we are.

The only difference is
that they never leave their home.

They bring others here.

Their only wish,
an exchange of knowledge.

They want to know us.

Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 44721 .9.

After ten days
in the company of the cytherians,

the enterprise has been
safely returned to federation space.

We bring back
knowledge of their race

that will take our scholars
decades to examine.

Lieutenant barclay is apparently
no worse for his experience.

So how much do you remember?

Oh, I remember doing everything.
I just don't remember how or why.

How do you feel now?

Smaller.

Just plain old barclay, huh?

Always seems to come back to that,
doesn't it?

You know, almost everyone
has a moment in their lives

when they exceed their own limits,
achieve what seems to be impossible.

The tricky part
is what happens aftennards.

You almost always
feel a sense of loss.

But it is possible to carry
something of that experience

through the rest of your life.

In ways that you
aren't even aware of now.

I, uh——
I think I know what you're saying.

Either way, reg,
you're an important part of this crew.

In fact, I could really use your help
with that level-three diagnostic.

- Sure.
- Excuse me, commander,

um, but I believe Mr. Barclay and I
had a date scheduled.

For a walk in the arboretum?
