NARRATOR:
Previously on Enterprise:

We only want to be your partners,

to work together in common cause.

[RUMBLING]

ARCHER:
Admiral Forrest has been killed.

The DNA on the bomb's controls
was left by this woman, T'Pau.

The answers you need
are on Vulcan.

And however far
you have to take this investigation,

you have my support.

This is a desert called The Forge.

The route's the one
Surak supposedly followed.

The guard recognized the person

who brought in the bomb
we found in the rubble.

- T'Pau.
- No.

It was you.

What's a katra?

Syrrannites claim
it's the essence of a Vulcan mind,

that it can be transferred
from the body before death.

V'Las was involved
in the attack on your embassy.

He's responsible for blaming it
on the Syrrannites.

Before we announce our decision,
is there anything you wish to say?

My actions were taken
in the best interest

of Vulcan and the High Command.

Keeping secrets from us
is in our best interest?

Had I revealed my abilities
as a melder,

my years of service
would not have been possible.

Your accomplishments
have been noteworthy.

They don't justify deception.

Deception has never been a stranger
to this room.

I caution you.

One of our own members
was responsible

for bombing the Earth embassy,

an act we tried to blame
on the Syrrannites.

That assessment was correct.

Our investigation of Stel
has revealed he's a Syrrannite.

I find that difficult to accept.

Numerous documents
were discovered in his home.

The evidence is irrefutable.

Syrrannites were responsible
and they'll be dealt with accordingly.

Regarding the matter at hand,

your position is terminated
immediately.

You're to surrender
all classified materials

to the Security Directorate
before leaving.

I remind you that
your loyalty oath is still in effect.

A violation of that oath...

- I'm aware of the penalty.
- Good.

Is there anything else
you would like to say?

There's a great deal
that needs to be said, Excellency,

but no one's willing to listen.

Who are you?

I'm Jonathan Archer.

Captain of the Earth vessel.

And you must be T'Pol.

You are a long way from Enterprise.

I'm here to find the person
who bombed the Earth embassy.

Her name is T'Pau.

And she looks a hell of a lot like you.

I am T'Pau.

You murdered my friend,

along with 40 other people.

I had nothing to do
with the destruction of your embassy.

The evidence says you did.

I haven't left this desert
for two years.

What does that tell you
about your evidence?

It tells me that you're lying.

You have a lot to learn
about Syrrannites.

You have a lot to learn
about humans.

We don't sit back and do nothing
while our people are attacked.

No, you traverse vast wastelands
based on false information.

What did you plan to do
when you found me?

Place me under arrest?

Something like that.

It seems everything I've heard
about your species is accurate.

Mother.

I'm pleased to see
that you're all right.

We have a great deal to talk about.

Agreed.

- You told them where to find us.
- Yes.

Is there anyone else with you?

- No.
- To have crossed The Forge

by yourselves with the sandfire storms
this time of year...

We met a Syrrannite.
He helped us find shelter.

Who was this person?

His name was Arev.

He was struck down
by an electrical charge.

- He didn't make it.
- He's dead?

Are you certain
his name was Arev?

That's what he told us.

His true name was Syrran.

He was our leader.

Captain, are you all right?

I'm okay.

Right before Arev died,
he grabbed me.

He put his hand on my forehead.
I felt something inside...

...my head.

Do you think he was trying
to meld with you?

I don't know.

But ever since,
I haven't been myself.

T'PAU:
You put us all in danger.

What if they'd been followed?

I only wanted her to know
I was safe.

You could have accomplished that
without revealing our location.

I can't change what I've done.

She doesn't deserve imprisonment.
I want her released.

Not until we've confirmed their story.

My daughter wouldn't lie.

She's not merely your daughter.

She's a member of Starfleet,

and Starfleet is allied
with the High Command.

They'll both remain where they are
until I'm satisfied they can be trusted.

Search patrols are flying
day and night.

They're the least of our worries now.

If Syrran is dead,

then everything we've worked for
is lost.

I can't believe they threw you out.

Just because you helped us?

I knew the risks.

There's gotta be some way
you can fight this.

I could protest,
but it wouldn't accomplish anything.

V'Las isn't one to change his mind.

Who the hell put him in charge,
anyway?

Our society rewards merit.

V'Las has demonstrated
a singular talent for governing.

What are you gonna do now?

You're referring to my career?

I haven't given it much thought.

There's something more important
we need to discuss.

Have you made contact with T'Pol
or your captain?

We can't reach them
and they can't reach us.

V'Las is determined to wipe out
the Syrrannites.

He's particularly intent on destroying
their encampment in The Forge.

Where the captain
and T'Pol are headed.

They may be in grave danger.

You must have questions for me.

I can't understand
how you could join these people.

I'd been growing disillusioned
with Vulcan society for some time.

When I was forced to resign
from the Academy,

I began seriously
to question my beliefs.

And this is where you came
for answers?

Syrrannites believe that the Vulcans

have strayed from the teachings
of Surak.

Considering what the High Command
has done in recent years,

the listening station at P'Jem,

suppression of dissent,

our position isn't so hard to accept.

You could have told me all this
when I came to visit.

The High Command was just beginning
to hunt down suspected Syrrannites.

I was afraid I would be next.

I wanted to keep you out of it.

I know your marriage to Koss
was for my sake,

to help me regain my post.

I don't want your apologies, Mother.

I want you to come back with me.

I can't do that.

When you gave me that map,
you knew I'd try to find you.

I thought that if you could see
what we were trying to accomplish...

That I'd understand?

That I'd join you?

I held out that hope, yes.

It's possible I was being foolish.

Extremely.

[EXPLOSIONS IN DISTANCE]

SURAK:
War is taking its toll.

Vulcan is tearing itself apart.

Who are you?

You know who I am, captain.

So much death.

Hard to believe this will become known
as the Time of Awakening.

That was 1,800 years ago.

This doesn't feel like a dream.

You're seeing the past
through my eyes.

Syrran did something to me
before he died.

SURAK:
He chose you.

[CHUCKLES]

You don't trust Vulcans, captain.

And given your experiences with them,
I can't say I blame you.

The culture you've come to know
isn't the one I helped to create.

My people have strayed, and someone
must restore them to the path.

You've got the wrong man.

Sorry, captain.

There's an Earth expression,
"We're stuck with each other."

Don't fight what's been given to you.

Open your mind and your heart,

and the way will become clear.

T'POL:
Captain.

Captain.

We've pinpointed their location near
the northeastern border of The Forge.

How accurate is this information?

It's based on data collected
by search patrols.

They've been conducting missions
for several days.

We are going to bombard the camp

with photonic weapons.

Our goal isn't to exterminate
these people.

Our goal is to maintain order.

They're in the deep desert.
What possible harm could they do us?

They've already destroyed
an embassy.

Eventually they're going to have
to leave The Forge,

and when they do,

we can apprehend them
with little or no loss of life.

It's very likely that Syrran himself
is inside the compound.

With one decisive thrust,

we can cripple this insurgency,
perhaps end it.

We can't let an opportunity like this
pass us by.

A surgical strike
could minimize the loss of life.

The geomagnetic anomalies
make a precision attack impossible.

This is the only way.

We'll begin preparations
immediately.

This man, did he tell you his name?

He seemed to think I knew
who he was.

Did you?

It was Surak.

We believe you.

Syrran possessed the katra of Surak.

Katras are nothing more than a myth.

I used to think that,

until I learned to open up my mind
to other possibilities.

If Syrran knew
he was close to death,

he would have tried to transfer
the katra to someone else.

I was near him when he died.

There is only one way to be certain.

I have to meld with you.

I've had my fill of mind-melds.

The prospect doesn't appeal
to me either.

I've never melded
with a human before.

Your unchecked emotions
will no doubt prove distasteful.

However, I ask your indulgence.

My mind to your mind.

My thoughts to your thoughts.

Our minds are merging.

- Our minds are one.
- Our minds are one.

We're in the desert.

There's a storm.

We find refuge in a cave.

Sand-lightning.

Our minds are not alone.

There's someone else here with us.

I sense his presence.

T'Pau?

He has the katra.

We can trigger a malfunction
in this satellite's imaging node.

It'll take six minutes for the central
processor to correct the error.

That should be enough time
to slip through the net.

Won't they wonder
what caused the glitch?

Errors occur frequently
near The Forge.

It shouldn't raise suspicion.

Mind if I ask you something?

Why are you doing this?

I never got the impression
you cared that much about humans.

Seems like you were always finding
something new to complain about.

I lived on Earth for more than
30 years, commander.

In that time, I developed an affinity
for your world and its people.

You did a pretty good job
of hiding it.

Thank you.

MAYWEATHER [OVER COM]:
Launch Bay to Commander Tucker.

Go ahead, Travis.

- We should be ready within the hour.
TRIP: What about helm control?

I've rigged up
a stick-and-rudder system.

It'll get us where we want to go,
but I can't promise a smooth ride.

Just don't tell Malcolm about that part
until you're underway.

Centuries ago,
a set of Katric Arks were discovered

at the P'Jem monastery.

- Katric Arks?
- Polycrystalline vessels.

Allegedly used by ancient Vulcans
to preserve katras.

They were scanned, analyzed.

One of the scientists
even attempted to meld with them.

They found nothing
to indicate the presence of a katra.

The Vulcan Science Academy
was just as skeptical about time travel.

Do you really believe you possess
the living spirit of Surak inside you?

A man who died 1,800 years ago.

Not when you put it like that.

- There is a logical explanation.
- I'm listening.

Syrran melded with you
before he died.

What you're experiencing
is the residue of his thoughts.

So I'm suffering
from a mind-meld hangover?

I wouldn't characterize it
quite that way,

but essentially.

It feels like...

...more than that.

You have no basis for comparison.

You've never undergone
a mind-meld before.

Seeing Surak is only a part of it.

I could swear I've been here before,
in this sanctuary.

It's like coming back
to the house you grew up in.

Syrran spent a great deal
of time here.

Let's say you're right
and it was just a mind-meld.

He still put something in my head.

And I want it taken out.

That may not be possible.

What can we do for you?

Where is your captain?

He's indisposed at the moment.

Can I help you?

The investigation of the embassy
bombing is nearly complete.

You have a suspect?

The evidence against him
and the Syrrannites is compelling.

There's no longer any need
for your presence here.

If it's all the same to you,
we'd like to stick around.

We'd prefer you didn't.
This is an internal matter.

We'll keep Starfleet apprised

if there are any
subsequent developments.

Excellency...

Again, you have my deepest sympathy
for your loss.

All of Vulcan grieves with you.

With all respects, we aren't leaving,

not until we know exactly
what happened.

I've also contacted Admiral Gardner.

I'm sure you'll be hearing
from him soon.

A pleasant journey.

Son of a bitch hung up on us.

Should I try to get him back?

No one here
has ever performed this ritual.

I've studied it for some time.

I believe
I can conduct it successfully.

You'd not only be placing Surak's katra
in jeopardy, you could kill Archer.

The risks are acceptable.

I doubt Surak would agree.

What alternative would you suggest?

That we follow this human?

I believe your prejudice towards
humans is clouding your judgment.

You question my logic?

Syrran chose to place the katra
in Archer.

He must have had his reasons,
even if we don't understand them.

It is obvious.

He was dying, your daughter
couldn't reach him in time.

He had to choose Archer.

That may be,
but we do have a choice.

Now, for the sake
of everyone involved,

I ask you to reconsider.

I've made my decision.

I'll perform the procedure
in one hour.

And if Archer dies?

I won't sacrifice our future
to protect the life of one human.

You know,

I'm the one with a Vulcan
ghost in his head,

depending on who you believe.

But...

I don't feel half as bad as you look.

I'm considering our options.

At least we know
your mother's okay.

She's joined a violent cult.

She's not okay.

I don't think these people had
anything to do with the embassy.

You sound convinced.

Let's just say
it's more than a gut feeling.

We've come to a decision.

The katra must be removed.

I can't argue with that.

There's a procedure, a ritual.

It will transfer the katra
to another person.

It's not without risk.

Vulcan neurology is exceptionally
resilient, but a human's...

The shock to your nervous system
will be severe.

- It could kill you.
- You must decline.

We're not offering a choice.

You'd do this by force?

We'd prefer that you
undertake the ritual willingly.

It will stand a better chance
of success.

However, if force is required,

we won't hesitate to use it.

Let's get started.

- Captain.
- It's my call.

TRIP: Gardner followed the Vulcan line
straight down the middle.

He wants us out of here yesterday.

- Tell him about the captain and T'Pol?
- I left that part out.

Enterprise was supposed to leave orbit
an hour ago.

- V'Las is not a patient man.
- Not a whole lot he can do about it.

- Hell of a job, Travis.
- Thank you, sir.

Just find them and bring them back.
No sightseeing along the way.

Understood.

We've got a recon satellite to jam.

VULCAN [OVER COM]:
Enterprise hasn't left orbit.

They're maintaining a stationary
position above The Forge.

- Keep monitoring them.
- Yes, Excellency.

We can't proceed with the operation
while the Earth ship is there.

You're concerned about witnesses.

Gardner gave them an order
to leave.

I heard the transmission.

So now we're monitoring
their communications?

They wouldn't disobey an order
without a reason.

I intend to find out what it is.

T'PAU:
Passed down through the ages,

the katra of Surak,

father of all we hold true,

lives on in this man.

Let it now live on in me.

[SPEAKING IN VULCAN]

Surak.

[GROANING]

Good to see you again, captain.

My appearance must be
quite disconcerting. I apologize.

Radiation sickness?

We're paying a heavy price
for our foolishness.

Logic has not won this day.

But this day won't last forever.

Logic is at the heart of every Vulcan.

Even as the ashes fall,
my people are discovering a new way.

You can accomplish
what Syrran could not.

But...

Syrran was a Vulcan
and you're human,

which means
you are untouched by a culture

that can no longer see
its own imminent destruction.

We cannot let what happened to the
Vulcans in my time take place again.

Find what my people have lost.

[GROANING]

Find the Kir'Shara.

T'POL:
Captain.

I failed.

Surak chooses to remain
where he is.

The satellite's been disabled.

You've got six minutes
to get through.

Travis, it's all yours.

Probably should have
skipped breakfast this morning.

- They're through.
- We're losing contact.

These thermals
are only going to get stronger.

[WEAPONS FIRING]

That was no thermal.

The plasma-cannons
are still working,

but I can't say the same
for the targeting sensors.

We must be getting close
to the geomagnetic field.

It doesn't seem to be affecting them.

They must have better shielding.

I'll have to aim manually.

Can you get us on their tail?

They're still below us.

[ALARM BEEPING]

We've lost part
of the starboard wing.

- We have to abort.
- I think I can get us down.

You won't be able to get us back up.

Thrusters are offline.

We'll have to fire
the chemical rockets. Hang on.

They've been fired on.

They took damage,
but they're heading back to Enterprise.

- I guess six minutes wasn't enough.
- They must have been monitoring us.

[PANEL BEEPS]

Three ships closing on our position.

[PANEL BEEPS]

We're being hailed.
It's Administrator V'Las.

Why did you launch a shuttlepod?

Why the hell did you fire on it?

You had no authorization.
Answer the question.

We're looking for our captain.

Archer's on the surface?

He's in The Forge,
searching for the Syrrannites.

You were ordered to leave orbit.

I advised them to stay.

I assume you assisted
in disabling the security satellite.

I gave them the code.

Commander Tucker,

you're to break orbit immediately.

We're not leaving
without the captain.

You will leave immediately,

or I'll order my ships to open fire.

T'LES:
How is he?

His breathing has stabilized.

But his fever's still high.

He agreed to the ritual.

If he hadn't,
you would have forced him.

You claim that Surak's teachings have
been corrupted by the High Command,

but you're no different.

There is a profound difference.

- You deceive yourself.
- T'Pol.

I shouldn't have come here
looking for you.

And I don't want anything more
to do with you.

If that's your wish.

How long have I been out?

More than three hours.

I feel like

I just pulled my head out
of a plasma relay.

You should rest.

ARCHER:
The Kir'Shara.

What do you know about it?

It was important to Surak.

And it's in there.

- What's a Kir'Shara?
T'PAU: An artifact.

- Syrran led us here to find it.
- If he knows where it is...

Telescopes have sighted three
Vulcan cruisers

in orbit over The Forge.

The High Command
knows we're here.

We should evacuate immediately.

Give the order.

I can find it.

[MUFFLED EXPLOSION]

That one missed us by 20 meters.

Tactical Alert. Polarize hull plating.

How many warning shots
do Vulcans usually fire?

None.

[PANEL BEEPS]

V'Las.

I'm running out of patience,
commander.

We've been over this.

Our captain and first officer
are down there.

We'll make sure
they're returned to you.

Break orbit now.

You really think he'll do it?

V'Las will do whatever it takes
to accomplish his goal.

Vulcan and Earth have been allies
for a hundred years.

Syrrannites must have seen
our ships by now.

If they evacuate into The Forge,
they'll be extremely hard to track.

We can't wait any longer.

Drive Enterprise from orbit.
Use all necessary force.

VULCAN [OVER COM]:
Yes, Excellency.

Phase-cannons. Return fire.

The Vulcan ships are firing
on Enterprise.

- We could be next.
- Take charge of the evacuation.

We'll meet you on The Forge
as soon as we can.

You can't stay here.

I've spent two years
searching for the artifact.

If there's a chance of finding it...

T'Pol?

I'm staying.

Go.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[ALARM BEEPING]

Re-route emergency power
to phase-cannons.

HOSHI:
Hull breach on C-Deck.

They're reporting casualties.

- V'Las is hailing, audio only.
- Put him through.

V'LAS [OVER COM]:
You're hopelessly outgunned.

Weapons are offline,
engines failing.

Don't force me to destroy your ship.

He's right. We should withdraw.

Our deaths won't help
Captain Archer or T'Pol.

Get us the hell out of here.

The moment Enterprise
is beyond scanner range,

begin bombardment
of the compound.

VULCAN [OVER COM]:
Yes, Excellency.

T'Klaas.

He was a student of Surak,
one of the first kolinahr masters.

There's no inscription.

Nothing to indicate his bloodline.

How do you know his name?

We're getting close.

[WEAPONS FIRE
AND EXPLOSIONS]

They've begun their assault.

It's here.

[WEAPONS FIRE AND
EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE]

I had my doubts
whether it really existed.

Let's go.

This way.

Report.

VULCAN [OVER COM]:
Geomagnetic interference.

We can't get a target lock.

Blanket the area.

[EXPLOSIONS AND RUMBLING]

[ARCHER YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

VULCAN [OVER COM]:
The sanctuary has been destroyed.

Comb the desert.

- Make sure there are no survivors.
VULCAN: Affirmative.

You're presiding over a massacre.

We are eliminating a threat.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

We should keep moving.

[ROCKS GRINDING AND
WOMAN GRUNTING NEARBY]

Captain.

T'Pol.

I was afraid you were still inside.

It's all right.

We found the Kir'Shara.

You have always struggled so
with your emotions.

I came here,

I did all this to help you.

I don't understand.

You will.

Mother...

I've always been so proud of you.

My T'Pol.

Mother.

I understand we suffered casualties.

Injuries.

Two of them serious.

I share your concern
about Captain Archer and T'Pol.

They've been in tough jams before.

What does the High Command
have against the Syrrannites?

Went to a lot of trouble to frame them
for the embassy bombing.

The Syrrannites believe violence
to be antithetical to Surak's teachings.

So they're pacifists.

V'Las considers that a dangerous
mindset, particularly now.

What do you mean?

The High Command is planning
to attack Andoria.

Wait, wait.

Vulcan and Andoria signed
a peace treaty two years ago.

Captain Archer helped negotiate it.

Vulcan intelligence claims the
Andorians are developing a weapon,

possibly based on Xindi technology.

You don't believe it?

I suspect V'Las is using the claim
to advance an agenda.

He's persuaded the High Command
to launch a pre-emptive strike.

He's gonna start an interstellar war.

One that could devastate
Andoria and Vulcan,

and eventually involve other worlds,

including Earth.

- Set a course for Andoria.
- Andoria?

Maximum warp.
