All language subtitles for Star Trek The Next Generation S05E24

Time, Mr. Data?

We will arrive within transporter range
in three minutes, 21 seconds.

I finally established audio contact
with the romulan ship.

Man: Our main power is failing.

There's no way to stop
the overload. Repeat...

Enterprise to romulan vessel.

We are en route to your position.

Man: Enterprise... horizon.
We are facing a... breach...

Repeat your last transmission.

I'm sorry, captain,
they've stopped transmitting.

Commander riker.

Riker here.

Picard: Transport to the romulan
ship as soon as we 're within range.

Riker: Aye, sir. No weapons.

We don't want them to think
they're under attack.

This is not a bright idea.

Riker:
I beg your pardon, ensign.

I didn't quite catch that.

Nothing, sir.

We're from the federation
starship enterprise.

We received your distress call.

- The enterprise?
- Riker: That's right.

Your message said you had suffered
a failure in your engine core.

Romulan: We had a forced chamber
explosion in the resonator coil.

It's a pretty strange setup,
but it looks like

the graviton field generator's
been completely depolarized.

There's no way to fix it.
It'll have to be replaced.

Where are your replicators?

They are offline.

Who's in charge here?

The captain is dead.
I'm the science officer, mirok.

We'd like to move this generator back
to the enterprise for replication.

- All right.
- Geordi, you and ro.

La forge to brossmer.

Two people and one piece
of equipment to beam aboard.

Aye, sir.

What the hell?

Engineering, I need more power
to the primary energizing coil.

Brossmer to commander riker.
I'm losing them. I have to abort.

They should be returning
to your coordinates, sir.

Chief, do you have them?
They're not here.

Brossmer: No, sir.

Where are they?

I can't locate their patterns.

We've lost them, sir.

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.

Brossmer: I've done all I can, sir.
I'm afraid they're gone.

Mr. Data, begin
a level one diagnostic.

All transporter systems offline
until further notice.

Could they have materialized
somewhere else?

Negative, captain.

The sensors are unable to locate them
anywhere within transporter range.

Counselor?

Riker: Riker to enterprise.

Go ahead, number one.

Captain, we're still looking
at a core breach.

Unless we can fashion
a new graviton generator,

I need replacement personnel, sir.

Mr. Data, continue the diagnostic
of the transporter systems

at another time.

Take a shuttlecraft and two more
engineers down to the romulan ship.

- Aye, sir.
- Mr. Mcdowell,

alert the main shuttlebay
to have all available ships

and pilots standing by
in case we need them.

- Aye, sir.
- Ensign.

Lay in a course away from
the romulan vessel,

and engage at warp one if you detect
any sign it's going to explode.

Pressure in the containment chamber
has increased 15 melakols

in the last two minutes.

What can we do to stop
the overload?

Most of the conduits were damaged
during the explosion.

I can't even access
the central computer.

Worf: Commander.

Emergency bulkheads have sealed this
section off from the rest of the ship.

There is no way to gain access
to the main bridge or control centers.

Survivors?

Readings indicate at least
73 romulans are still alive.

Seventy-three?

The pressure has jumped
200 melakols.

I've lost control
of the containment chamber.

It's going to implode.

We need to dump
the entire engine core.

- Do you have an auto-eject system?
- It's not functioning.

- I'll have to do it manually.
- Mr. Worf, you two seal the chamber.

Implosion will occur
in one minute, five seconds.

Enterprise, we need to jettison
the entire engine core.

We'll need to extend the shields
once it clears the hull.

Picard: Understood, number one.

We 7! Stand by for your signal.

We must get the doors closed.

Unh. Commander.

- Time?
- Thirty seconds.

- Mirok: I'm ready, commander.
- Stay there.

Eject the chamber on my order.

Excuse me, sir.

Mirok:
Implosion in five seconds.

Enterprise, extend shields.

Well.

We're still here.

Riker: We'll have a
power survey done within the hour.

We 7! Probably have to supply them
with energy for life support.

They'll need a new engine core
to get home.

Understood, commander.
Keep me informed of your efforts.

Picard out.

- I'll be in sickbay.
- Aye, sir.

Ensign r0 to the bridge.

This is ensign ro reporting in,
I'm at...

Section 23 baker, near sickbay.

Sickbay.

Excuse me. I need some help.

Excuse me.

Um, excuse me, I need some help, I...

Excuse me, I need some help.

Crusher: We shouldn't make
any hasty decisions, Jean-Luc.

The transporter could have
beamed them somewhere else.

The romulan ship,

another deck of the enterprise.

Picard:
We've checked all those possibilities.

The initial findings
would seem to indicate

that there was a radiation surge
from the romulan engine core

which disrupted the signal.
They never rematerialized.

We should check again.
There might be something that we...

Beverly, we've done everything
that we can.

You're right.

I just hate making out
death certificates.

Does ensign ro have any family?

- Captain, I'm right here.
- None that I know of.

But I'll check
with the bajoran liaison office.

I'm not dead.

I'll have the official reports
ready within the hour.

Captain, I don't know
what's going on.

Doctor.

Dr. Crusher.

Dr. Crusher, I'm right here.

Damn it, doc...

Mirok: We're ready, commander.

Riker to enterprise.
Begin power transfer.

The power flow is consistent
at 400 kolems.

No fluctuations in frequency.

The main power grid is online.

- Picard: Picard to riker.
- Riker here.

Power transfer appears stable
in this end, captain.

Good. What is the status
of the engine replacement?

Riker: Engineering is modifying one
of our subspace resonators

to act as a new engine core.

It won't do more than warp two,

but it'll get them home.

Very good.

Captain, the diagnostic
of the transporter system shows

an anomalous energy fluctuation.

I will need to inspect the imaging
scanner in transporter room 3.

- By all means.
- Captain.

I have a personal favor to ask.

I considered commander la forge
to be...

My best friend.

I believe it is my responsibility to plan
and conduct the memorial service.

May I have your permission
to do so?

Permission granted.

Make whatever arrangements
you think are appropriate.

Thank you, sir.

Commander, the...

The romulans want a computer.

We cannot give them access
to federation technology.

That is an unacceptable
security risk.

What about a computer core
from 30 or 40 years ago?

One the romulans
are already familiar with?

That would be satisfactory.

Check with the enterprise.
See what's available.

But be sure that your concerns
are addressed before we install it.

Aye, sir.

Thank you.

Ro: La forge?

Boy, am I glad to see you.

And I'm really glad
that you can see me, it's like...

It's like I'm here, but I'm not here.

- No one can see me either.
- La forge: Ah.

I can't figure it out.

One minute we were transporting
from the romulan vessel,

and the next, I wake up in the
arboretum with a splitting headache.

Can you pass through things
like bulkheads?

Tables, people, yeah.

Ah. Well, we're solid enough
to each other.

It's not what you expected, is it?

What do you mean?

This. Death.

What?

We're dead, geordi.

Is that some kind of a joke?

Our patterns were lost
in a transporter malfunction.

We never rematerialized
after leaving the romulan ship.

Oh, wait a minute.

What are you saying,
that we're some sort of spirits?

Spirits. Souls.

My people used to call them
borhyas,

whatever term you wanna use,
we're it.

But my uniform, my visor.

Are you saying
I'm some blind ghost with clothes?

I don't have all the answers.
I've never been dead before.

We are not dead.

According to Dr. Crusher,

we died in a transporter malfunction
at 1430 hours.

Geordi, I saw her make out
the death certificates.

We need to make peace
with our former lives.

That's what I was taught.

We have to say goodbye
to the people who were in our lives.

No. You may be ready
for the afterlife, but I'm not.

Idontsee
that we have much of a choice.

When I was growing up,

I never gave much thought
to all the talk about borhyas.

I figured that it was just superstition
passed on to children...

Fine. You go make peace
with yourself, all right?

I'm going to transporter room 3.

I'm gonna figure a way out
of this situation.

I didn't have any warning
that something would go wrong, sir.

Suddenly, their patterns
just weren't there.

Data:
I believe the cause of the accident

may be related to the explosion
on the romulan ship.

Really?

But that happened
before we even arrived.

In all likelihood, the explosion damaged
the romulan cloaking device,

causing it to discharge
chroniton particles.

I am detecting
a chroniton field in here.

If the particles were produced
on the romulan ship,

why are you detecting them here?

The transporter beam.

I suspect they traveled through
the transporter beam.

That may have been the cause
of geordi and ro's death.

I will go to the romulan ship.

Perhaps I can discover the source
of the emissions.

Commander,
are these chronitons dangerous?

They pose no danger to humans.

However, some
of the ship's systems

may have been affected
by prolonged exposure.

When I return, I will devise
a method to eradicate them.

La forge to ensign... la... ah.

Thanks for the ride.

I'm here to say goodbye.

There were a lot
of what appeared to be

experimental engine components
lying around over there.

I'd say they were testing
a new warp drive design

and it blew up in their faces.

Picard: That would explain why
they're so far from romulan space.

To avoid being picked up
by federation long-range scans.

We should have an engine core
ready for them by 1900 hours.

Commander, there will be
a memorial service at 2300 hours.

Mr. Data is making
the arrangements.

Me too.

In fact, I might like to say
a few words.

You did know la forge
longer than any of us.

Actually, I was thinking
more about ensign ro.

When you're ready,
coordinate with Mr. Data.

Wait a minute, what are you gonna
say about me?

Captain...

I don't believe this.

I'm dead.

You can't even hear me,
and I'm still intimidated by you.

I just...

Wanted to say thank you...

For trusting in me
when no one else would.

Hey. There you are.

Excuse me, captain.

Listen, data's taking the next shuttle
back over to the romulan vessel.

- And we need to be on it.
- — why?

Because I think that what happened
to us, the answers are over there.

- Why can't you just accept the fact...?
- Look, if you're right,

then we're dead and this doesn't
make any difference. But if I'm right,

then we're still alive.

And I'm gonna need your help.

Lieutenant,

I am planning a memorial service for
commander la forge and ensign ro.

I would like you to participate.

What kind of service?

Captain picard asked me to arrange
a ceremony that was appropriate.

I have given a great deal of thought
to what is appropriate in this instance.

Worf: Sir, shuttlecraft four has not
yet cleared the romulan ship.

Data: Hold position here.

This is weird, listening to them
plan our funeral.

I find I am having difficulty deciding
what kind of service to have.

Do you have any suggestions?

The human custom is to conduct
a solemn, dignified service

in which the dead are praised
by their friends and loved ones.

Ensign r0 was bajoran.

Her belief
should be reflected as well.

However, their death rituals
are quite complicated.

Oh, please, not the death chant.

The bajoran death chant
is over two hours long.

I am not certain that either human
or bajoran rites are fitting.

And I have researched
the funerary customs

of over 5000 cultures to no avail.

Shuttlecraft four has just cleared.

Resume course.

In almost all societies,
it is traditional to say

a ritual farewell
to those you call friends.

I never knew what a friend was
until I met geordi.

He spoke to me as though
I were human.

He treated me no differently
from anyone else.

He accepted me for what I am.

And that, I have learned,
is friendship.

But I do not know
how to say goodbye.

Seems almost human, doesn't he?

Commander, I am not
the proper person to advise you.

Why?

I am very happy
for commander la forge.

He has crossed over to that
which is beyond.

For a klingon, this is a joyful time.

A friend has died in the line of duty,

and he has earned a place
among the honored dead.

It is not a time to mourn.

Begin docking procedure.

Data, that's a nice sentiment
but a little premature.

I don't plan on being commemorated
before my time.

I'm afraid I fail to see the point
of this investigation, commander.

Chroniton emissions may have been
responsible for the accident

which claimed the lives
of our officers.

A most regrettable event, of course.

Was your cloaking device damaged
in the explosion?

All of our systems were damaged,
including the cloaking device.

That explains the chroniton fields
I am detecting in here now.

For your own safety, it is important
to eliminate those emissions.

Our safety?

There is no way to predict
what will happen

when chronitons interact
with the new engine core.

I've never seen anything like this.

There's something in here that looks
like a molecular phase inverter.

What's that?

It's supposed to change
the structure of matter

so it can pass
through normal matter and energy.

Hang on a second.

A few years back,
we got intelligence reports

that the klingons were working on
trying to combine a phase inverter

and a cloaking device.

In theory, they believed that
a phased ship could hide anywhere,

even inside a planet.

And that conventional weapons
would be useless against it.

How far did they get
in their research?

Well, it never got out of the preliminary
stages, there were several accidents.

The romulans might be pursuing
that same technology,

trying to combine an inverter
and a cloaking device.

And if this is the prototype...

Then that would explain the explosion
and the chroniton fields.

You mean we're cloaked?

Not just cloaked, phased.

Our entire molecular structure
altered so that we...

We don't have any substance.

Then that would mean
we're not dead.

Yes. It would also mean that
there's probably a way to dephase us.

Field emissions are particularly strong
in this area.

You can be assured that the emissions
will be eliminated

before the engine core is replaced.

Commander, may I speak with you?

They come back, they're going
to discover the interphase generator.

Is their power transfer beam
still at full intensity?

Yes, it will be until we're ready
to switch to internal power.

We will set up a muon feedback wave
inside the transfer beam.

The particles will accumulate
in their dilithium chamber.

When they go to warp speed,
their engines will explode.

We've got to get to the enterprise
and warn them.

- How?
- I don't know.

But we have to find a way. Come on.

The muon feedback wave's
not showing up

on any of the engine displays.

Romulans must be hiding it
in the sensor return signal.

Unless someone runs a level three
diagnostic, they'd never detect it.

There must be some way to warn them
before the ship goes into warp.

This is puzzling.

Three chroniton fields have formed
aboard the enterprise in the last hour.

There's no reason
why the interphase device

would be producing new fields
on board this ship.

We should begin decontamination
immediately.

Run an internal sensor sweep

for the locations of all chroniton fields
on the enterprise.

Brossmer: Aye, sir.

The following areas
are showing contamination,

sickbay, transporter room 3,

main bridge,
captain's ready room,

shuttlebay 2
and main engineering.

Ro, take a look at this.

Data: I do not understand
how these new fields have formed.

No transporter beam has been active
in any of those areas.

And I cannot see that they have
anything in common.

Oh, yes they do.

Data: In fact, they seem to be
appearing at random.

No, they're not. We were
in every one of those locations.

Somehow, we're leaving
chroniton footprints behind us.

Can you narrow the focus of the scan
to pinpoint the locations?

Not with the internal sensors,
commander.

Go to science station 2
on the main bridge.

Use a lateral sensor array
to get a more precise reading.

I will modify an anyon emitter
to eliminate the fields

once they've been isolated.

Go with her and see
what the lateral sensors turn up.

- I'm going to stay here with data.
- Right.

Oh, that's interesting.

You're reading chroniton fields in here,
but not from me?

There's a field in this wall? Why?

Data, I came through this wall.

I walked right through it
when I came in here.

When the phase matter in my body
passed through the wall,

it must have disrupted the wall's
molecular structure,

producing a chroniton field.

Data, I'm right here.

That's me you're reading.

Come on.

It's me.

You see?

Romulan: Do not move.

I can see you.

Who are you?

Where is the scientific officer?

The one like us.

The one who came with you
to our ship.

He spoke of a plan
to return to normal.

This disrupter works.

I was wearing it
when I was changed.

Now where is he?

La forge:
Data, stop being so rational.

Try using your imagination
once in a while.

These aren't just random patterns.

It's me. Aah!

Watch where you point that thing.

Wait a minute, data,
I think you did something here.

It's not so easy
to push through anymore.

The molecules in my hand

must have been partially de-phased
by the anyon beam.

Data, if a low-level beam can bring
my hand part of the way back,

maybe a high-level beam
can bring me all of the way back.

I'll just have to get you to turn up
the intensity so that...

Hey, wait a minute.

Don't stop now.

No, no, no, data,
don't give up on it.

It works, I was just creating
more fields.

Your method is fine, you just need
to turn up the intensity, data.

He's in here.

Brossmer:
Brossmer to commander data.

Data here.

I've just detected a large
chroniton field on deck 17.

The field strength is 300 percent
above the others we've found, sir.

Is that ro?

Acknowledged.

Woman: Heh-heh. Man: Mm.

- Get up. Unh!
- Unh!

Where is the science officer?

Man: I'll get it.

- Man: Commander.
- Excuse me, lieutenant...

I am detecting a chroniton field
in your room.

- May I scan the area?
- Man: Certainly.

Any time.

There's still no indication

that the romulans have set up
a muon wave in our dilithium chamber.

It's there.

And when they go to warp...

Mcdowell: Incoming message
from the romulan ship, captain.

On-screen.

Now what?

Mirok: Installation of the new engine
core has been completed.

We are ready to switch
to internal power, enterprise.

Understood.

Disconnect the power
transfer beam.

We are now on internal power.

Captain picard,

please accept my sincere thanks
on behalf of the romulan empire.

- Don't listen to him, captain.
- It was our pleasure, mirok.

And, I hope that this example of
cooperation between our two peoples

will not be an isolated incident.

As do I, captain.

Set a course for the garadius system.
Warp six.

- Don't do it, sir.
- No, captain.

Captain, I'm still running
the decontamination program.

Mr. Data believes
we shouldn't engage the warp drive

until I've cleared all the chroniton
fields from the ship.

Very well. Let me know
when you finish your sweep.

Yes, sir.

If we can get to the locations
that she's decontaminating,

maybe the anyon emissions

would rephase us
enough for someone to see us.

The beam strength will have
to be pretty strong

in order for us to be visible
for more than a millisecond.

Somebody's gonna have
to be looking directly at us.

Then we're gonna have to go
somewhere with an awful lot of people.

It's time, sir.

We should go.

You have the bridge, Mr. Mcdowell.

I'll be at the service in ten-fonnard.

Ten-fonnard?
Well, that's perfect.

We'll create as many chroniton fields
in there as we can.

Get them to flood that room
with a stronger beam.

Picard: Deck ten.

I've been thinking about the first time
I met geordi la forge.

He was a young officer assigned
to pilot me on an inspection tour,

and I made some off-hand remark
about the...

Shuttle's engine efficiency not being
what it should.

And the next morning I found that

he'd stayed up all night,
refitting the fusion initiators.

Well, I knew then that I wanted to have
him with me on my next command.

Have you decided what you're going
to say about ensign ro?

Yes, I have.

It wasn't easy.

Picard: Situations like these are
- what?

- Picard: Never easy, number one.
- What wasn't easy?

What?

What is going on here?

It's our memorial service.

This?

Why not?

I don't believe this.

They think we're dead,
and they're having a party?

Heh-heh. Yeah, it's perfect.

Come on, let's get started.

Well, this is unusual.

Now I suppose, I'll never know
what you were gonna say about me.

Do you think the others will find
this service appropriate?

Look around you, data.

Everybody's sharing their memories
of geordi and ro, laughing and talking.

What could be more appropriate
than that?

I am glad you approve.

Brossmer:
Brossmer to commander data.

Go ahead, chief.

I'm sorry to disturb you, sir.

We've cleared the critical areas
of chronitons.

But we've detected
a new field forming in ten-forward

that's stronger than any
we've seen before.

Should I wait
until after the service is over

- before beginning decontamination?
Data: No.

Anyon emissions are harmless.
Please begin immediately.

Aye, sir.

Ah. Here we go.

- Worf, can you see us?
- Lieutenant?

We're right here, worf. Damn.

We have to find a way
to increase the emission strength.

Yeah, I know.

If she hadn't lost her rank as a result
of that incident at garon iv,

I think she would have made
lieutenant commander by now.

- Mcdowell: Bridge to captain picard.
- Go ahead.

Incoming message
from garadius iv, sir.

The diplomatic situation
is deteriorating.

- They want an update on our eta.
- Stand by, ensign.

Excuse me.

We have to do something now,
before they go into warp.

The disruptor.

- I could put it on overload.
- Do it.

Let's go.

I would like to get under way
as soon as possible.

The situation on garadius iv
is becoming serious.

I see no reason to delay
our departure.

The chroniton fields have been cleared
from all critical areas.

Excellent.

Mr. Mcdowell, will you set a course
for garadius iv and engage...

Brossmer: Commander, chroniton
field strength in ten-forward

has just increased
by 3000 percent.

Curious.

I believe we should decontaminate
this room before getting under way.

Very well.

- Chief?
- Yes, commander?

Increase anyon emissions
to 6000 particles per second

and decontaminate this area.

Okay, hang on.

- Data, do you see us?
- Ro: Captain, we're right here.

La forge: We're right here.
Ro: Captain.

Did you see that, Mr. Data?

Yes, sir.

La forge: Come on, data,
put it all together now.

Those were not ghosts.
What did we see?

I believe I may know
what has happened, sir.

Oh, data, please be right.

It would explain
the mysterious chroniton fields.

Yes, yes, yes.

If they were cloaked in some way...

Are you saying that they're
still alive?

If I am right, sir, they are.
And in this room.

Their brief appearance coincided
with the anyon sweep.

Perhaps the anyons neutralize
the cloaking effect.

- Chief brossmer.
- Brossmer: Yes, commander?

Data: Set the anyon beam to its
highest level and flood ten-fonnard.

Aye, sir. Both: Ha, ha!

Data, do you see us?

Of course.

La forge to engineering.

Take the warp engines offline
until further notice.

There's a muon wave building up
inside the dilithium chamber.

Mcdowell:
Captain, who gave that order?

That was commander geordi
la forge, ensign.

Please follow his instructions.

Aye, sir.

Well, it looks like a great party.
Do you mind if we join you?

Geordi.

It is good to see you.

Thanks, data.

I've never been to a better funeral.

Mm. Could you pass the rolls?

You've been eating for over an hour.

Come on.

We didn't eat for almost two days.

I'm hungry.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Come on.

I was raised with bajoran beliefs.

And I even followed some
of the practices.

But I never really believed
in a life after death.

And then suddenly I was dead,

and there was this other life.

And it made me feel
like I've been pretty arrogant

to discount everything
I'd been taught, you know?

Now I don't know what to believe.

Hmm. Well,

maybe we should develop
our own interphase device.

If it can teach ro laren humility,

it can do anything.
