00:09:06,676 --> 00:09:08,635
I had no idea.Yeah.
186
00:09:08,678 --> 00:09:10,550
They're also unreliable,
and, uh,
187
00:09:10,593 --> 00:09:12,116
the results are
188
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,683
dubious at best.
Ah, yeah.
189
00:09:13,727 --> 00:09:16,120
That's exactly what we wanted
you to think.
190
00:09:16,164 --> 00:09:18,035
When I was a new recruit,
191
00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:20,037
one of my first handlers...My mother.
192
00:09:20,081 --> 00:09:21,691
...got drunk on Romulan ale...
193
00:09:21,735 --> 00:09:23,214
My father....and let slip
194
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:25,869
that at the heart
of the Zhat Vash mission
195
00:09:25,913 --> 00:09:29,264
was a deep,
unassuageable loathing.
196
00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:30,961
A loathing of whom?
197
00:09:31,005 --> 00:09:32,397
Not whom.
198
00:09:32,441 --> 00:09:33,747
What.
199
00:09:47,935 --> 00:09:49,501
CALER:
More wine?
200
00:09:49,545 --> 00:09:51,591
Surprise me.
201
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:53,854
♪ Oh, I
202
00:09:56,204 --> 00:09:59,076
♪ Oh, I...
203
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,818
Dahj, your replicator
menus are tragic.
204
00:10:01,862 --> 00:10:03,994
[beeping]
205
00:10:04,038 --> 00:10:06,693
That's... extraordinary.
206
00:10:06,736 --> 00:10:08,433
It's said they operate
207
00:10:08,477 --> 00:10:11,349
without regard for treaty
or jurisdiction--
208
00:10:11,393 --> 00:10:12,916
and not just
in Romulan worlds,
209
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,615
but in the Klingon Empire,
the Gorn Hegemony,
210
00:10:15,658 --> 00:10:17,573
even the Federation itself--
211
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,270
and that they have kept
this secret
212
00:10:19,314 --> 00:10:21,446
for thousands upon thousands
of years.
213
00:10:21,490 --> 00:10:24,014
Oh, the cheeky fuckers.
214
00:10:24,058 --> 00:10:26,408
They've overwritten
the particle residuum.
215
00:10:26,451 --> 00:10:27,714
Overwritten it?
216
00:10:27,757 --> 00:10:29,585
Yes. And in
a very sophisticated way.
217
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:30,586
It's...
218
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:31,848
barely detectable.
219
00:10:31,892 --> 00:10:33,545
It would read as
instrument failure
220
00:10:33,589 --> 00:10:34,546
if you didn't
know better.
221
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:35,635
But it's not.
222
00:10:35,678 --> 00:10:37,071
It's a flat-out wipe.
223
00:10:37,114 --> 00:10:38,768
Can you recover it?
224
00:10:38,812 --> 00:10:40,683
Uh...
225
00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:43,251
Have you never noticed
the complete absence
226
00:10:43,294 --> 00:10:46,123
of any form of artificial life
in Romulan culture?
227
00:10:46,167 --> 00:10:47,690
We don't have
androids or AIs.
228
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,692
We don't study
cybernetics.
229
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:53,304
Our computers are limited
to purely numerical functions.
230
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:56,481
They must have saturated
this place in antileptons.
231
00:10:56,525 --> 00:10:59,049
At no small risk to
themselves, by the way.
232
00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:01,965
This place hasn't just
been cleaned, Admiral.
233
00:11:02,009 --> 00:11:03,532
It's been scrubbed.
234
00:11:03,575 --> 00:11:07,231
Is that to be expected
of your Zhat Vash?
235
00:11:07,275 --> 00:11:08,755
Well, they're
not myZhat Vash,
236
00:11:08,798 --> 00:11:10,757
and I thought you
didn't believe in them.
237
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,629
I may be coming around.
238
00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:15,457
So, then...
239
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:21,158
all this is about the Zhat Vash
hatred of androids.
240
00:11:21,202 --> 00:11:23,117
It's not simply hate.
241
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,467
It's hate and fear
242
00:11:25,510 --> 00:11:27,730
and pure loathing
243
00:11:27,774 --> 00:11:29,601
for any form of synthetic life.
244
00:11:29,645 --> 00:11:31,255
Why?
245
00:11:31,299 --> 00:11:33,518
That I can't tell you.
I don't know.
246
00:11:33,562 --> 00:11:36,608
But I am certain
that is the silence
247
00:11:36,652 --> 00:11:39,176
that seals the mouths
of the Zhat Vash,
248
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,874
as surely and eternally
as death.
249
00:11:40,917 --> 00:11:42,397
The operatives
who did this
250
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,442
wouldn't have wanted
to leave the impression
251
00:11:44,486 --> 00:11:46,183
that the place
had been scrubbed.
252
00:11:46,227 --> 00:11:50,187
We may find they've neglected
something, some...
253
00:11:50,231 --> 00:11:52,712
actual clue...
254
00:11:52,755 --> 00:11:56,019
that lay tucked inside a
false clue, as it were.
255
00:11:56,063 --> 00:11:58,021
Something like this,
256
00:11:58,065 --> 00:12:00,284
for example?
257
00:12:07,248 --> 00:12:09,163
There's no record
of any incoming
258
00:12:09,206 --> 00:12:11,034
or outgoing calls.
259
00:12:11,078 --> 00:12:12,819
The information's there,
260
00:12:12,862 --> 00:12:14,951
but the indexes
have been surgically deleted.
261
00:12:14,995 --> 00:12:17,171
There's no way to sort the data.
262
00:12:17,214 --> 00:12:19,086
Essentially,
they've sterilized it,
263
00:12:19,129 --> 00:12:21,523
so that it's...
qualitatively agnostic.
264
00:12:21,566 --> 00:12:23,612
There's no distinction.
265
00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:25,353
Everything looks
like everything else.
266
00:12:25,396 --> 00:12:27,007
What we need
267
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:29,792
is a record of any contact
that she may have had
268
00:12:29,836 --> 00:12:32,621
with her sister.Mm, and no doubt
it's in here, but it
269
00:12:32,664 --> 00:12:34,536
will look the same
as everything else.
270
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:38,714
N... No, it...
271
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:41,238
it will look like her.
272
00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:43,284
Like Dahj.
273
00:12:43,327 --> 00:12:45,373
Wh-What's her name?
Um, Dr. Jurati.
274
00:12:45,416 --> 00:12:48,071
She said that they would be
identical twins, right?
275
00:12:48,115 --> 00:12:50,900
Even closer than twins, perhaps.Okay. So what's
276
00:12:50,944 --> 00:12:52,206
the first thing you do
277
00:12:52,249 --> 00:12:53,381
when you bring a new
digital assistant online?
278
00:12:53,424 --> 00:12:55,818
Introduce myself.Exactly.
279
00:12:55,862 --> 00:12:58,386
Computers like efficiency,
so what a computer does
280
00:12:58,429 --> 00:13:00,780
is build heuristics,
281
00:13:00,823 --> 00:13:02,564
shortcuts to the tasks
282
00:13:02,607 --> 00:13:04,392
it performs most often.You're saying
283
00:13:04,435 --> 00:13:06,176
that if they were
indistinguishable,
284
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:08,657
then the machine, at some point,
285
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,660
could have mistaken
the sister for Dahj.Exactly.
286
00:13:11,703 --> 00:13:14,228
And if it did, even
for a few seconds
287
00:13:14,271 --> 00:13:16,099
before it flagged the error,
then the tags
288
00:13:16,143 --> 00:13:18,232
might still be in here,
289
00:13:18,275 --> 00:13:22,149
overlooked by even the
most diligent of scrubbers.
290
00:13:22,192 --> 00:13:24,151
[beeping]Got you.
291
00:13:25,456 --> 00:13:26,631
Okay.
292
00:13:26,675 --> 00:13:29,286
These were all outgoing.
293
00:13:29,330 --> 00:13:32,072
And these...
294
00:13:32,115 --> 00:13:33,943
were incoming.
295
00:13:35,945 --> 00:13:37,817
It's her.
296
00:13:39,209 --> 00:13:40,994
Ghosts in the machine.
297
00:13:41,037 --> 00:13:43,997
Can you tell me
where she is?
298
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,912
No.
299
00:13:45,955 --> 00:13:48,392
But I can tell you
where she isn't.
300
00:13:48,436 --> 00:13:53,180
Nonlocal information packets are
routed through subspace relays.
301
00:13:53,223 --> 00:13:55,399
This routing leaves tiny
302
00:13:55,443 --> 00:13:57,793
but unmistakable
code marks.
303
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,099
Nonlocal?
304
00:13:59,142 --> 00:14:00,927
I'm saying this
transmission
305
00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:03,233
came from off-world.
306
00:14:05,801 --> 00:14:08,238
Are you certain?Wherever this girl
307
00:14:08,282 --> 00:14:10,980
was calling her
sister from,
308
00:14:11,024 --> 00:14:12,895
it's nowhere on Earth.
309
00:14:22,078 --> 00:14:24,254
NAREK:
Beautiful?
310
00:14:24,298 --> 00:14:27,997
No one's ever said that before
about a Borg Cube.
311
00:14:29,999 --> 00:14:32,349
SOJI:
This isn't a Borg cube, Narek.
312
00:14:32,393 --> 00:14:35,222
It's the Artifact.
313
00:14:35,265 --> 00:14:38,094
A Borg cube is mighty
and omnipotent.
314
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,580
The Artifact is lost.
315
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:49,627

You find vulnerability
319
00:14:55,242 --> 00:14:57,200
and brokenness beautiful.
320
00:14:57,244 --> 00:14:58,941
SOJI:
Is that strange?
321
00:14:58,985 --> 00:15:01,422
To find beauty in imperfection?
322
00:15:01,465 --> 00:15:03,685
NAREK:
It's certainly not
very Romulan.
323
00:15:03,728 --> 00:15:06,122
But, then,
there's nothing very Romulan
324
00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:07,907
about this place at all.

of Borg technology.

Oh, we all have
our part to play.

00:16:12,058 --> 00:16:13,624
Can I ask you a question?
346
00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:16,410
Sure. Just don't
expect an answer.
347
00:16:16,453 --> 00:16:19,804
Are we allowed to be sleeping
together? Or is that a secret?
348
00:16:19,848 --> 00:16:22,329
Very much the latter.
349
00:16:23,591 --> 00:16:25,854
Is everything Romulans do
a secret?

Ooh, I'm not at liberty
to divulge that.

And if your gradient badge
starts to blink green,
544
00:26:36,856 --> 00:26:38,640
run.
545
00:26:38,684 --> 00:26:40,599
[alarm blares]
546
00:26:40,642 --> 00:26:42,688
Don't worry about it.
547
00:26:46,126 --> 00:26:48,128
[indistinct announcements]
548
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:55,526
Narek, this is...
549
00:26:55,570 --> 00:26:58,660
Dr. Naàshala Kunamadèstifee
of Trill Polytech.
550
00:26:58,704 --> 00:27:01,794
The Institute is eager to see
your work bear fruit, Doctor.
551
00:27:01,837 --> 00:27:04,927
How likely is the Collective to
reestablish a link to your Borg?
552
00:27:04,971 --> 00:27:08,278
Is it, is it really wise
to release them?
553
00:27:08,322 --> 00:27:11,194
They're former Borg,
and we're not "releasing" them,
554
00:27:11,238 --> 00:27:13,283
we're reclaiming them.There's really no danger.
555
00:27:13,327 --> 00:27:15,546
When a cube undergoes
submatrix collapse,
556
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:17,026
the Collective
immediately severs its link
557
00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:18,375
to the afflicted population.
558
00:27:18,419 --> 00:27:20,769
As far as the Collective
are concerned,
559
00:27:20,813 --> 00:27:22,466
this is just a graveyard.
560
00:27:22,510 --> 00:27:24,033
And what does that make us?
561
00:27:24,077 --> 00:27:26,209
The same as you find
in any graveyard.
562
00:27:26,253 --> 00:27:30,039
Some have come to feed
on the dead, some are ghosts,
563
00:27:30,083 --> 00:27:32,476
and a few, like you, Dr. Asha,
564
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,869
have pinned their hopes
on resurrection.
565
00:27:38,352 --> 00:27:42,573
Um, may I join you
for the procedure?
566
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:45,185
I'd-I'd like to see you work.
567
00:27:45,228 --> 00:27:48,144
That's not up to me.
You need approval
568
00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:50,712
from the Director of the
Borg Reclamation Project.
569
00:27:50,756 --> 00:27:52,714
Hmm.
570
00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:55,238
Actually, I don't.
571
00:27:55,282 --> 00:27:57,284
[birds singing]
572
00:28:03,769 --> 00:28:05,335
Ah.
573
00:28:05,379 --> 00:28:08,556
You have a taste for
the classics, I see.
574
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:12,168
I never really cared
for science fiction.
575
00:28:12,212 --> 00:28:13,953
I guess
576
00:28:13,996 --> 00:28:16,346
I just didn't get it.
577
00:28:16,390 --> 00:28:18,653
[grunts]
578
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:21,830
Well, thank you for coming over.Yeah.
579
00:28:21,874 --> 00:28:24,528
It's hard to tear myself away
from the action at my lab,
580
00:28:24,572 --> 00:28:25,747
but... [chuckles]
581
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:27,053
Um, your preference?
582
00:28:27,096 --> 00:28:28,750
We have a selection.
583
00:28:28,794 --> 00:28:31,057
Earl Grey?
584
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:33,712
I knew there was
something about you.
585
00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:38,499
I gathered up, uh,
everything I could find
586
00:28:38,542 --> 00:28:40,588
from Maddox's tenure
at the Institute.
587
00:28:40,631 --> 00:28:44,635
Most of what was there got
blackboxed after he disappeared,
588
00:28:44,679 --> 00:28:46,986
but they left some of the
ancillary stuff untouched.
589
00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:48,639
I was thinking
about the painting.
590
00:28:48,683 --> 00:28:52,208
Bruce and Data were friends
after a fashion.
591
00:28:52,252 --> 00:28:55,385
I-If Bruce is using Data's
neurons to make more synths,
592
00:28:55,429 --> 00:28:57,257
it would make sense
to model them
593
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:58,867
after the painting Data made.
594
00:28:58,911 --> 00:29:01,130
Indeed.
595
00:29:01,174 --> 00:29:04,351
I also did a little digging
into Dahj Asha.
596
00:29:04,394 --> 00:29:07,615
You're right.
She was accepted at Daystrom.
597
00:29:07,658 --> 00:29:09,791
In fact, she was
a perfect candidate.
598
00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:13,229
In hindsight,
a little too perfect.
599
00:29:13,273 --> 00:29:15,275
Her credentials were bogus?
600
00:29:15,318 --> 00:29:18,452
It's more insidious than that.
I checked with Regulus.
601
00:29:18,495 --> 00:29:20,628
Their records show
she was enrolled there
602
00:29:20,671 --> 00:29:22,412
and her grade transcripts
are on file.
603
00:29:22,456 --> 00:29:24,284
So she was what
she claimed to be?
604
00:29:24,327 --> 00:29:26,590
She was a complete
work of fiction.
605
00:29:26,634 --> 00:29:28,941
There's no record
606
00:29:28,984 --> 00:29:31,291
of her having actually
attended R3SA.
607
00:29:31,334 --> 00:29:34,424
I-I'm no forensics maven,
608
00:29:34,468 --> 00:29:37,688
but my sense is that
her entire identity
609
00:29:37,732 --> 00:29:40,126
was built all at once,
about three years ago.
610
00:29:40,169 --> 00:29:42,737
By whom? Bruce Maddox?
611
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:45,566
He certainly had
the ability.
Motive?
612
00:29:45,609 --> 00:29:47,829
I don't know.
613
00:29:47,873 --> 00:29:50,049
People in the synthetic
humanoid field
614
00:29:50,092 --> 00:29:52,660
tend to get a little
secret-planny.

616
00:29:54,401 --> 00:29:55,576
Uh, yes, please.
617
00:29:55,619 --> 00:29:57,621
Thank you.
618
00:30:03,105 --> 00:30:04,715
There you go.
619
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:06,152
Oh, thank you.
620
00:30:06,195 --> 00:30:09,155
It breaks my heart
that I never
621
00:30:09,198 --> 00:30:11,200
got a chance to meet her.
622
00:30:11,244 --> 00:30:13,899
Such a wondrous
thing.
623
00:30:13,942 --> 00:30:16,684
And the damn
Romulans just
624
00:30:16,727 --> 00:30:19,774
wiped her away.
625
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:24,083
You asked me
what the plan was,
626
00:30:24,126 --> 00:30:26,650
what she was after at Daystrom.
627
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:29,653
I don't think that's the most
relevant question right now.
628
00:30:29,697 --> 00:30:32,004
I think the question you should
be trying to answer is...
629
00:30:32,047 --> 00:30:33,875
"What about the other one?"
630
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:37,096
If she's really out there,
631
00:30:37,139 --> 00:30:40,839
and if the Romulans
haven't gotten to her, too,
632
00:30:40,882 --> 00:30:43,363
then where is she?
633
00:30:43,406 --> 00:30:45,495

Why do you call them

Is it dementia?I beg your pardon?

Sorry, but you're not
a stupid man,

00:34:46,649 --> 00:34:48,782
so when I hear you say
such a stupid idea,

00:34:48,825 --> 00:34:50,740
I have to ask
for other explanations.

[door slams]
720
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:06,686
Laris understands.
721
00:36:06,729 --> 00:36:09,036
She's afraid for you,
that's all.
722
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:10,298
I know that.
723
00:36:10,342 --> 00:36:13,693
But you have to stay
here with her.
724
00:36:13,736 --> 00:36:16,304
The grapes are far more in
need of protection that I am.
725
00:36:16,348 --> 00:36:17,827
[chuckles]
726
00:36:17,871 --> 00:36:21,004
And it's less than a month
to the harvest.
727
00:36:21,048 --> 00:36:22,702
But you can't do it alone.
728
00:36:22,745 --> 00:36:24,269
You need help.
You need protection.
729
00:36:24,312 --> 00:36:26,488
Yeah.You need a crew.
730
00:36:26,532 --> 00:36:28,969
Riker. Worf. La Forge.
731
00:36:29,012 --> 00:36:30,579
Hmm?
732
00:36:30,623 --> 00:36:33,234
No.
733
00:36:33,278 --> 00:36:35,193
I thought about it.
734
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:37,282
And they would do it
in a heartbeat,
735
00:36:37,325 --> 00:36:40,546
and that's precisely
why I cannot ask them.
736
00:36:40,589 --> 00:36:44,027
They would put themselves
at risk out of loyalty to me,
737
00:36:44,071 --> 00:36:47,857
and I do not want to have to
go through that again.
738
00:36:47,901 --> 00:36:49,511
Okay.
739
00:36:49,555 --> 00:36:51,600
You need someone who hates you
740
00:36:51,644 --> 00:36:53,559
and has nothing to lose.
741
00:36:54,777 --> 00:36:56,779
I've already made the call.
742
00:37:01,567 --> 00:37:03,177
[door chimes]
743
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:04,700
Come.
744
00:37:07,921 --> 00:37:09,792
You wanted to see me, Commodore?
745
00:37:09,836 --> 00:37:12,230
Take a look at this.
746
00:37:12,273 --> 00:37:14,493
Does that look like
disruptor fire?
747
00:37:14,536 --> 00:37:16,059
There.
748
00:37:16,103 --> 00:37:18,279
Reflected in the hand rail.
749
00:37:18,323 --> 00:37:20,847
Not to me, no.
750
00:37:23,458 --> 00:37:25,243
Admiral Clancy just called.
751
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:27,462
Jean-Luc Picard
came to see her.
752
00:37:27,506 --> 00:37:28,985
He has information
753
00:37:29,029 --> 00:37:32,467
about clandestine Romulan ops
here on Earth.
754
00:37:32,511 --> 00:37:35,731
He referred to
Zhat Vash by name.
755
00:37:35,775 --> 00:37:37,646
He was trying to persuade her
to give him a ship
756
00:37:37,690 --> 00:37:40,780
and let him go after
Dr. Bruce Maddox.
757
00:37:40,823 --> 00:37:43,609
Although she did not
mention that last part,
758
00:37:43,652 --> 00:37:45,828
nor the talk about Zhat Vash.
759
00:37:45,872 --> 00:37:47,177
Then how do you know?Do not
760
00:37:47,221 --> 00:37:49,397
insult me, Lieutenant.
761
00:37:49,441 --> 00:37:52,226
It would not be advantageous
for your career.
762
00:37:53,358 --> 00:37:55,142
Apologies, Commodore.
763
00:37:55,185 --> 00:37:56,622
This is unexpected.
764
00:37:56,665 --> 00:37:58,058
A dirty word...
765
00:37:58,101 --> 00:38:00,060
in our line of work.
766
00:38:00,103 --> 00:38:02,192
Perhaps the worst
word of all.
767
00:38:02,236 --> 00:38:04,630
So you need me
to take care of Picard?
768
00:38:05,892 --> 00:38:08,286
Your zeal and passion
are commendable,
769
00:38:08,329 --> 00:38:12,115
but they are very nearly
overbalanced by your impatience.
770
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:14,988
There is a fundamental
aptness in the word
771
00:38:15,031 --> 00:38:17,947
"undercover" which you
772
00:38:17,991 --> 00:38:19,949
have yet to fully absorb.
773
00:38:19,993 --> 00:38:22,996
So I won't take care
of him impatiently.
774
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:25,607
I'll make it last
as long as you like.
775
00:38:25,651 --> 00:38:29,437
Clancy has discouraged him
adequately, I believe.
776
00:38:29,481 --> 00:38:32,614
And if the need arises,
777
00:38:32,658 --> 00:38:35,138
I will take care of Picard.
778
00:38:35,182 --> 00:38:37,793
I want you to stay on mission.
779
00:38:37,837 --> 00:38:40,405
You made a shambles
of the operation here.
780
00:38:40,448 --> 00:38:44,322
Your team destroyed the thing
before it could be interrogated
781
00:38:44,365 --> 00:38:47,107
and nearly blew
our cover. We have
782
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:48,891
one more opportunity.
783
00:38:48,935 --> 00:38:51,633
Do not squander it.
784
00:38:52,678 --> 00:38:54,332
Of course.
785
00:38:54,375 --> 00:38:56,899
I've put my best man on it.Have you?
786
00:38:56,943 --> 00:38:58,640
I worry about that one.
787
00:38:58,684 --> 00:39:01,251
He too has a
troubling penchant
788
00:39:01,295 --> 00:39:03,471
for the unexpected.
789
00:39:03,515 --> 00:39:06,387
And I have had just about my
fill of surprises, Lieutenant.
790
00:39:06,431 --> 00:39:08,476
Do I make myself clear?
791
00:39:09,782 --> 00:39:12,567
I will vouch for him
with my life.
792
00:39:12,611 --> 00:39:15,483
Indeed. You will.
793
00:39:15,527 --> 00:39:17,355
Which is why
I strongly recommend
794
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:20,401
that you manage
this case in person.
795
00:39:20,445 --> 00:39:21,794
Of course.
796
00:39:21,837 --> 00:39:25,058
Everything is at stake.
797
00:39:25,101 --> 00:39:27,495
See that he does not fail.
798
00:39:27,539 --> 00:39:30,933
See that neither
of you does.
799
00:39:49,082 --> 00:39:51,084
[door opens]
800
00:39:52,564 --> 00:39:54,261
You can turn around
801
00:39:54,304 --> 00:39:56,045
and call that cab
802
00:39:56,089 --> 00:39:58,483
to take you right back
where you came from.
803
00:39:58,526 --> 00:40:00,310
Just want to talk.
804
00:40:00,354 --> 00:40:02,051
There isn't anything
you could say
805
00:40:02,095 --> 00:40:03,401
that I want to hear.
806
00:40:05,664 --> 00:40:09,450
Secret Romulan assassins
are operating on Earth.
807
00:40:11,147 --> 00:40:15,021
Is that the '86?
808
00:40:19,852 --> 00:40:21,288
[sighs]
809
00:40:21,331 --> 00:40:22,594
Goddamn it.
810
00:40:40,046 --> 00:40:42,570
Nice of you to knock.Why start now?
811
00:40:42,614 --> 00:40:46,095
How's life in Starfleet,
Lieutenant Rizzo?
812
00:40:47,619 --> 00:40:49,534
That ridiculous
disguise.
813
00:40:49,577 --> 00:40:51,144
Round ears.
814
00:40:51,187 --> 00:40:53,059
You look like a
plucked wakak.Shut up.
815
00:40:53,102 --> 00:40:54,452
[short chuckle]
816
00:40:54,495 --> 00:40:56,062
Any progress?Yes.
817
00:40:56,105 --> 00:40:59,065
Slow, but I'm still confident
that my approach,
818
00:40:59,108 --> 00:41:01,937
which you approved,
is the only sound approach.
819
00:41:01,981 --> 00:41:03,939
I hope that confidence
is not misguided.
820
00:41:03,983 --> 00:41:06,681
If your approach doesn't
start paying off very soon,
821
00:41:06,725 --> 00:41:08,291
I will be obliged
to unapprove it.
822
00:41:08,335 --> 00:41:10,337
For both our sakes.
823
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:14,254
Commodore Oh
is quite distressed.
824
00:41:14,297 --> 00:41:16,125
She has been a useful ally
825
00:41:16,169 --> 00:41:18,954
for a long time.
I can't have her turning on us.
826
00:41:18,998 --> 00:41:20,652
When I arrive...
827
00:41:20,695 --> 00:41:23,437
When you arrive...
828
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:25,352
I'm on top of it.
829
00:41:29,574 --> 00:41:32,533
So it would seem.
830
00:41:32,577 --> 00:41:34,666
Have you found the nest?
831
00:41:34,709 --> 00:41:36,363
Has the machine
given up the location
832
00:41:36,406 --> 00:41:38,104
of its fellow abominations?
833
00:41:38,147 --> 00:41:41,934
Really, has it told you
anything at all?
834
00:41:45,633 --> 00:41:47,548
Grave reservations
have been expressed
835
00:41:47,592 --> 00:41:49,419
about your approach,
baby brother.
836
00:41:49,463 --> 00:41:52,553
I don't have to tell you
the stakes couldn't be higher.
837
00:41:52,597 --> 00:41:55,425
Oh has reservations.
838
00:41:55,469 --> 00:41:57,558
Profound reservations.
839
00:41:57,602 --> 00:41:59,473
There is no one
whose survival
840
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:01,083
matters more to me than yours.
841
00:42:03,477 --> 00:42:05,131
Except my own.
842
00:42:06,611 --> 00:42:08,308
If you've made
no progress
843
00:42:08,351 --> 00:42:10,005
by the time I get there,
844
00:42:10,049 --> 00:42:12,094
I will have no choice
845
00:42:12,138 --> 00:42:14,444
but to try my approach,
846
00:42:14,488 --> 00:42:16,490
unfortunate as it may have been.
847
00:42:18,884 --> 00:42:21,408
If there is another
such disaster,
848
00:42:21,451 --> 00:42:23,845
it will undoubtedly
consume you
849
00:42:23,889 --> 00:42:25,543
and me, too.
