{300}{335}Echo Two is away, sir.
{340}{387}A clean launch.
{406}{467}It's made contact with Echo One.
{472}{531}How long before we get|subspace online?
{536}{630}I'd like to send a few test|transmissions to calibrate amplifiers.
{635}{683}- An hour.|- My guess is we have a lot of people
{688}{749}onboard waiting to call home.
{769}{825}A vessel is dropping|out of warp, captain.
{830}{875}Twelve kilometres dead ahead.
{880}{925}Put it up.
{1070}{1143}- Look familiar?|- I don't recognize the configuration.
{1186}{1229}Good. Hail them.
{1279}{1376}This is the starship Enterprise.|What can we do for you?
{1516}{1557}My name is Jonathan Archer.
{1563}{1647}We're on a mission of exploration|from the planet Earth.
{1750}{1811}- Hoshi?|- The channel's open, sir.
{1892}{1930}Do you need assistance?
{2083}{2170}If you don't wanna talk, that's fine,
{2175}{2235}but you dropped in on us.
{2389}{2458}Was it something I said?
{2497}{2552}Did you get anything on sensors?
{2576}{2618}No.
{2636}{2674}No what?
{2680}{2728}No bio-signs.
{2733}{2804}No propulsion or weapon signatures.
{2810}{2855}No readings at all.
{2970}{3098}"It's been a long road|Gettin' from there to here"
{3157}{3239}"It's been a long time"
{3243}{3336}"But my time is finally near"
{3341}{3443}"And I will see my dream|Come alive at last"
{3448}{3518}"I will touch the sky"
{3523}{3614}"And they're not gonna|Hold me down no more"
{3618}{3690}"No, they're not gonna change my mind"
{3696}{3808}"'Cause I've got faith of the heart"
{3814}{3884}"I'm going where my heart will take me"
{3889}{3999}"I've got faith to believe"
{4004}{4065}"I can do anything"
{4071}{4179}"I've got strength of the soul"
{4183}{4252}"And no one's gonna bend or break me"
{4258}{4386}"I can reach any star"
{4394}{4484}"I've got faith"
{4490}{4578}"I've got faith"
{4584}{4698}"Faith of the heart"
{5056}{5111}Are there any inhabited|systems nearby?
{5116}{5159}None.
{5163}{5231}Why fly right up to us|just to give us the silent treatment?
{5235}{5303}Maybe they got our signal,|but it didn't make any sense to them.
{5308}{5397}- Our translator is far from perfect.|- I wouldn't take offence.
{5402}{5490}Not every species has motives that|can be understood in human terms.
{5506}{5581}Maybe they checked us out and|decided we weren't very interesting.
{5585}{5632}Us? Not interesting?
{5689}{5759}Let's calibrate|the subspace amplifier.
{5764}{5841}At least the people back home|wanna talk to us.
{5865}{5906}Sir.
{5917}{5969}I tracked them down.
{5997}{6045}- It took me all week.|- Where are they?
{6050}{6117}Kota Baharu. It's in Malaysia.
{6122}{6210}- What time is it there?|- A little after 9 at night.
{6215}{6263}That shouldn't be too late.
{6271}{6347}Let's break in that new amplifier.|I'll be in my Ready Room.
{6418}{6470}- Is he all right?|- He's fine.
{6474}{6580}- Is he in some kind of trouble?|- No, sir. Malcolm's doing a great job.
{6585}{6641}I'm sure you know it's his birthday|in a couple of days.
{6648}{6726}Yes. Yes, it is. September 2nd.
{6731}{6816}We haven't seen our son|on his birthday in quite a few years.
{6821}{6909}He called from San Francisco to let us|know he'd been assigned to Enterprise,
{6914}{7001}but we haven't heard|from him since.
{7009}{7073}What are Malcolm's duties|on your ship, captain?
{7099}{7133}He's my armoury officer.
{7140}{7172}Well...
{7176}{7237}His grandfather would be pleased.
{7242}{7321}He was an ordinance oficer|himself in the Royal Navy.
{7328}{7361}It must be in Malcolm's blood.
{7366}{7428}The Reeds have been navy men|for generations.
{7433}{7516}Until Malcolm decided|to join Starfleet.
{7521}{7572}I suppose the ocean|wasn't big enough for him.
{7605}{7688}He's a long way from home|in any case, Mr Reed.
{7692}{7782}I'd like to do something for his birthday,|make him a special dinner.
{7786}{7842}I was hoping you could tell me|what he likes to eat.
{7862}{7973}Captain, Malcolm's never been|comfortable making requests.
{7997}{8031}I'm not sure I understand.
{8039}{8097}He always ate whatever|was put in front of him.
{8117}{8182}Are you saying he doesn't have|a favourite food?
{8196}{8256}Not that he's ever told me.
{8315}{8355}Well...
{8374}{8413}...if you happen to think of anything,
{8417}{8470}you can always contact me|through Starfleet.
{8489}{8526}Give Malcolm our best.
{8545}{8634}- I will.|- Safe journey, captain.
{9099}{9160}- How'd it go?|- Could have gone better.
{9165}{9237}Apparently, he hasn't called home|since we left Earth.
{9242}{9284}I want you to find out|what he likes to eat.
{9306}{9353}- Me, sir?|- But don't let Malcolm know.
{9357}{9408}Maybe this is more in chef's area.
{9415}{9479}We're talking about|a delicate assignment, Hoshi.
{9485}{9513}It needs your finesse.
{9518}{9616}Sir, I'm running a diagnostic|on our subspace-transceiver array.
{9622}{9708}Get some help if you need it,|but make this a top priority.
{9727}{9772}That's an order.
{9776}{9819}Yes, sir.
{9990}{10046}- Where were you at dinner?|- I ate in my quarters.
{10051}{10089}Now that we've got|the amplifier working,
{10095}{10136}I wanted to answer a few letters.
{10142}{10204}You missed T'Pol's latest bout|with chopsticks.
{10210}{10255}Damn. Dinner and a show.
{10319}{10371}I thought you were|gonna upgrade this.
{10378}{10421}That is the upgrade.
{10450}{10506}Well, if you want,|I can change the colour.
{10604}{10704}- What's the word from home?|- Oh, the usual. Engineering updates.
{10709}{10778}Oh, and Duvall got promoted.
{10782}{10858}- They're giving him the Shenandoah.|- Duvall got his own command?
{10899}{10947}Thank God we're|a hundred light years away.
{11010}{11059}And I got a letter from Natalie.
{11105}{11180}- The Natalie, from Pensacola?|- Yep.
{11185}{11249}Natalie from Pensacola.
{11266}{11344}Looks like we've got a charge|imbalance in this manifold.
{11348}{11386}I'll get right on it.
{11483}{11525}Trip?
{11550}{11632}You know, they say long-distance|relationships never work.
{11658}{11741}Well, this is about|as long distance as you can get.
{11773}{11813}Are you okay?
{11831}{11881}Oh, yeah. I just...
{11903}{11970}I just wish I'd have had the chance|to say goodbye face-to-face.
{12220}{12276}Let me ask you something.
{12281}{12324}Do you spend much time|with Malcolm?
{12328}{12379}I was in the armoury yesterday|for a few hours,
{12384}{12420}swapping out some power relays.
{12424}{12520}- You talk about anything interesting?|- Power relays.
{12538}{12599}- I talked to his parents this morning.|- Really?
{12605}{12639}Yeah.
{12654}{12682}Sit.
{12741}{12784}If I asked your parents|what you liked to eat,
{12790}{12841}- would they be able to tell me?|- Are you kidding?
{12853}{12912}My mom would give you her recipe|for pan-fried catfish,
{12916}{13005}and wouldn't let you go|till you promised not to screw it up.
{13009}{13100}Malcolm's parents didn't know|what his favourite food was.
{13105}{13170}They didn't even know|he was an armoury officer.
{13174}{13206}That's strange.
{13212}{13255}It made me think.
{13261}{13356}We don't know that much|about Malcolm, do we?
{13396}{13440}Bridge to the captain.
{13446}{13524}- Go ahead.|- The alien vessel has returned.
{13758}{13824}Guess we weren't|so uninteresting after all.
{13828}{13896}They dropped out of warp|500 kilometres dead ahead.
{13900}{13980}I had to reverse engines|to keep from banging into them.
{13986}{14029}Let's try this again.
{14089}{14137}Welcome back.
{14231}{14312}I was hoping we'd have|an opportunity to meet again.
{14317}{14361}The primary mission of my ship
{14365}{14464}is to make peaceful contact|with other species.
{14533}{14658}If there's anything we can do|to assure you of our intentions...
{14867}{14909}Well...
{14926}{14979}It's been nice talking to you.
{14984}{15037}Let's do this again sometime.
{15044}{15101}- I'm picking up something.|- Can you translate it?
{15120}{15156}I don't think it's a language.
{15280}{15317}We're being scanned.
{15488}{15532}Hull plating.
{15539}{15586}It's off-line!
{15654}{15693}Hard about.
{15699}{15740}They've gone to warp, sir.
{15870}{15921}Everybody okay?
{15926}{15989}Damage reports are coming in, sir.
{15994}{16078}- No one's been hurt.|- What the hell was that about?
{16083}{16142}Captain, when they|fired their weapon,
{16146}{16200}they dropped their shielding|for about two seconds.
{16205}{16273}- I was able to take some scans.|- What did you get?
{16279}{16352}Bio-signs. At least 15, maybe more.
{16357}{16429}Their DNA doesn't match|anything in our database.
{16434}{16465}It's a good thing they're gone.
{16472}{16564}I doubt very much our torpedoes|could've penetrated their shielding.
{16583}{16639}Stay on long-range scanners.
{16644}{16716}If they come anywhere near us,|I wanna know.
{16721}{16764}T'Pol.
{16948}{17042}That support frame's bent.|We'll need to reinforce it.
{17179}{17251}- How bad is it?|- If that shot was a half metre higher,
{17256}{17309}- we'd be looking at stars.|- Hold it a minute!
{17315}{17394}There were 13 people working in this|section, captain, including yours truly.
{17430}{17493}If that bulkhead had blown...
{17552}{17600}Did your people run into|as many hostile aliens
{17605}{17674}when they first went|into deep space?
{17698}{17769}- It was a different time.|- How so?
{17774}{17839}There were fewer|warp-capable species.
{17851}{17886}This ship just isn't equipped|to handle
{17891}{17956}some of the threats|we're coming up against.
{17961}{18041}- It's time we do something about that.|- What are you suggesting?
{18045}{18105}Enterprise was fitted|with phase-cannon ports.
{18111}{18162}Since we left space dock a few weeks|ahead of schedule,
{18167}{18227}the cannons were never installed.
{18286}{18349}I think it's time they were.
{18358}{18405}We should head back to Earth.
{18411}{18476}- Just give us two weeks, captain.|- I know we can do it.
{18481}{18528}Most of the stuff we need|is already on the ship.
{18533}{18626}The armoury team at Jupiter Station|is trained for this kind of work.
{18630}{18677}If we're gonna do this,|let's do it right.
{18682}{18723}My engineers|are just as good as they are.
{18728}{18766}I know that, Trip.
{18771}{18855}But we have other systems|that could use overhauls.
{18903}{18944}Look at the bright side.
{18949}{19014}You'll get a chance|to say goodbye to Natalie.
{19037}{19072}Sir,
{19077}{19136}with your permission,|we could at least begin the work,
{19142}{19185}get a few things started|for Jupiter Station.
{19190}{19250}It'll cut down the time we'll have|to spend in space dock.
{19294}{19338}Do what you can.
{19385}{19452}- Archer to Mayweather.|- Go ahead, captain.
{19519}{19563}We're heading home.
{20076}{20125}This, ladies and gentlemen,
{20130}{20200}is a phase-modulated|energy weapon.
{20205}{20325}It's rated for a maximum power output|of 500 gigajoules.
{20330}{20390}Enterprise was designed|to carry three of them.
{20395}{20428}We have one,
{20433}{20486}and it's only a prototype.
{20491}{20588}Our job is to get it up and running|and build two more from scratch.
{20593}{20665}The captain's taking us back because|he thinks this work ought to be done
{20670}{20709}by the boys in space dock.
{20714}{20779}Far be it from me to question|the captain's judgment,
{20784}{20850}but Commander Tucker and I|believe we can do this ourselves.
{20855}{20894}That means double shifts.
{20899}{20960}By the time we reach|Jupiter Station,
{20965}{21012}I don't want their engineers|to have a thing to do
{21017}{21078}but give us a wash and a wax.
{21083}{21155}- Any questions?|- Are we expecting another attack, sir?
{21192}{21220}We all signed up for this trip
{21225}{21305}because we wanted to do something|no one had ever done before,
{21310}{21415}not because we thought|it'd be easy or safe.
{21420}{21490}But we're not here|to take foolish risks.
{21495}{21548}The captain and the rest of the crew|are depending on us
{21553}{21597}to keep Enterprise ready|for anything.
{21602}{21675}And once we get these|phase-cannons online,
{21680}{21766}we'll have a lot more firepower|to do just that.
{21802}{21838}So, what are you|standing around for?
{21938}{22000}He once told me that he loved|to eat octopus,
{22005}{22095}especially the little suction cups,|but I think he was pulling my leg.
{22107}{22192}You can never tell whether|my brother's joking or not.
{22208}{22236}Can I talk to him?
{22242}{22313}We really would like|to keep this a surprise.
{22319}{22362}Oh, right, the dinner.
{22367}{22461}I remember one time,|this was at least ten years ago,
{22466}{22511}he went for a whole week|without eating.
{22517}{22552}- Really?|- Got by on nothing
{22557}{22598}but water and a little apple juice.
{22604}{22688}- Why?|- Some sort of survival training.
{22694}{22729}Or was it a contest?
{22735}{22817}When he started eating again, do you|remember the first thing he wanted?
{22823}{22880}He was so weak,|he could barely get out of bed.
{22885}{22946}For two days, all he had|was protein concentrate.
{22951}{23025}When you two were growing up,|he never said:
{23029}{23091}"Hey, let's go out for pizza,"
{23096}{23159}or "Boy, I'd love some Indian food."
{23169}{23215}Not that I remember.
{23220}{23296}Malcolm isn't the easiest person|to get to know.
{23307}{23364}I'm figuring that out.
{23394}{23426}When we trained in San Francisco,
{23431}{23505}there was a little restaurant on|the Embarcadero he liked to go to.
{23510}{23582}They had a specialty,|some kind of fish, I think.
{23588}{23628}What kind?
{23652}{23729}- Halibut? Swordfish?|- No.
{23746}{23797}Mahi-mahi? Scallops?
{23802}{23871}- I had sea bass.|- Great.
{23877}{23936}- And Malcolm?|- I don't remember.
{23941}{23990}Try, please.
{24020}{24045}Maureen.
{24069}{24139}- Is that a fish?|- No, she was the waitress.
{24182}{24260}That's why Malcolm wanted|to go there. He had a thing for her.
{24265}{24326}- I think he hates fish.|- Thanks.
{24491}{24551}So how's your|secret mission coming?
{24570}{24643}I've talked to his sister,|his best friend,
{24647}{24704}his Uncle Archie,|his two spinster aunts.
{24709}{24762}The most anyone seems to know|about his eating habits
{24768}{24834}is that he occasionally eats.
{24840}{24877}Ensign.
{24890}{24940}If you want to know something|about Mr Reed,
{24945}{25003}perhaps you should ask him.
{25344}{25393}Anyone sitting here?
{25399}{25455}No. Please.
{25504}{25576}This is the first chance|I've had to eat all day.
{25580}{25637}Oh, tell me about it.
{25642}{25716}I haven't set foot outside|the armoury since 0700.
{25737}{25794}How's your ravioli?
{25830}{25873}It's fine.
{25879}{25950}Nothing like a nice plate of pasta.
{26158}{26243}You know, I used to love to cook,|but I never get a chance to anymore.
{26248}{26315}And the way the chef|protects the galley...
{26366}{26399}One of these nights,
{26404}{26472}I should fix something myself.
{26549}{26632}- I'm sorry.|- You'd love my enchiladas.
{26636}{26668}Enchiladas?
{26691}{26749}Well, if you don't like them,|I can fix something else.
{26824}{26862}What's your favourite food?
{26942}{26987}I appreciate the offer,
{26993}{27034}but it really isn't necessary.
{27085}{27208}Aren't you a little tired of having to eat|whatever chef happens to serve?
{27213}{27280}- No, he's a fine cook.|- Don't get me wrong.
{27286}{27315}He's terrific.
{27321}{27389}It's just that dinner in the mess hall
{27395}{27487}can lack a certain personal touch.|I've got a hot plate in my quarters.
{27608}{27685}That's very flattering...
{27713}{27771}...and I'm just not sure|it would be appropriate.
{27791}{27818}What do you mean?
{27834}{27865}Well...
{27870}{27921}...we work together...
{27936}{28010}...and it just might be|a little awkward...
{28032}{28062}...serving on the same ship.
{28067}{28115}What does that have to do with...?
{28222}{28286}No, I didn't... I didn't mean
{28291}{28387}to imply anything other than|just making dinner, lieutenant.
{28391}{28458}- Well, then, it's my mistake then...|- No, it's my fault.
{28462}{28508}I shouldn't have...
{28530}{28580}- Yeah, I'll just...|- No, please, finish your dinner.
{28585}{28636}No, no, no, you've got|a lot of work to do.
{28641}{28681}So...
{29052}{29122}Captain, I'm detecting|a ship dead astern.
{29128}{29235}- Eight thousand metres.|- Let me guess. Our shadow?
{29240}{29293}Closing to 7,000.
{29326}{29379}Six thousand.
{29391}{29453}Polarize the hull plating.
{29684}{29729}Reed to bridge.
{29734}{29785}Armoury, report.
{29790}{29843}Get to your stations. Move.
{29963}{30002}Warp drive is off-line.
{30052}{30102}Main power is down.
{30422}{30468}Torpedoes.
{30544}{30573}Tactical systems are down.
{30580}{30688}Why don't you save time,|and tell me what isn't down?
{30694}{30746}The outer doors|in Launch Bay 2 are opening.
{30752}{30795}- Seal them.|- I can't.
{32777}{32814}Get away from those men!
{33361}{33400}Go.
{33417}{33470}- Archer to Sickbay.|- Phlox here, captain.
{33474}{33546}Report to E Deck, Section 7.|This is an emergency.
{33551}{33588}On my way.
{33654}{33711}- Security to Captain Archer.|- Go ahead.
{33716}{33808}The aliens are gone, sir.|They've launched their shuttle.
{34149}{34224}- Bridge, report!|- The alien vessel has gone to warp.
{34229}{34349}But that last shot damaged our port|nacelle. We're venting drive plasma.
{34573}{34616}Doctor?
{34641}{34667}I've stabilized them,
{34672}{34759}but they were subjected|to some rather invasive scans.
{34828}{34857}Will they be all right?
{34862}{34917}There could be some residual|neurological damage.
{34922}{34952}I'm doing everything I can.
{34975}{35019}Have you ever heard|of anything like this?
{35024}{35063}No.
{35067}{35141}Are there any Vulcan records of|a species that uses similar tactics?
{35146}{35210}And I don't care|how classified they might be.
{35216}{35264}None that I know of, captain.
{35356}{35390}Find out what you can.
{35394}{35444}Tucker to Archer.
{35492}{35538}- Go ahead.|- We've got the plasma leak
{35543}{35601}under control, but our port nacelle|took a lot of damage.
{35606}{35693}- How long before we can go to warp?|- A couple of days.
{35714}{35782}- What about impulse power?|- Well, that's the good news.
{35788}{35839}It should be back online|in a few minutes.
{35845}{35902}I'll take all the good news I can get.
{35906}{35959}Keep me posted, doctor.
{36045}{36125}There are no Vulcan ships|within scanning range.
{36144}{36206}Sir, we could try to contact|the Vulcan High Command.
{36221}{36273}They're only two days away|at warp six.
{36279}{36323}I'm sure they'd give us a hand.
{36327}{36373}I'm sure they would.
{36821}{36869}I can't raise Vulcan.
{36874}{36943}It's funny. I ran a diagnostic|after the attack.
{36949}{36998}But now Echo Two won't respond.
{37005}{37075}- That's because it isn't there.|- What?
{37080}{37179}Nothing but debris at the coordinates|where we deployed the amplifier.
{37184}{37216}What about Echo One?
{37259}{37294}Destroyed as well.
{37499}{37557}The stabilizer on cannon port two|checks out okay, sir.
{37562}{37615}- Port two or port one?|- Port one, sir. Sorry.
{37620}{37665}Get it right.
{37670}{37713}- Start on those beam emitters.|- Yes, sir.
{37718}{37763}Targeting scanners|will be online in an hour.
{37768}{37862}We should be aligning them by now,|not installing them.
{38097}{38138}You were a little hard on Eddie.
{38143}{38212}Everyone's busting their tails|to get this job done.
{38225}{38285}- You okay?|- Yeah.
{38297}{38326}I'm fine.
{38331}{38418}- I told them to depolarise these relays.|- What were you trying to do?
{38423}{38478}- Bypass the EPS grid.|- Why?
{38483}{38552}We could draw power for the cannons|directly from the impulse engines.
{38557}{38609}Are you trying to make this|blow up in your face?
{38614}{38661}The relays were rated to handle|that much power.
{38667}{38723}- What if there's a surge?|- I've thought of that.
{38728}{38806}These inverters were designed to cut|in at the first sign of an overload.
{38811}{38841}We gotta do this by the book,
{38846}{38929}or we'll end up blowing a bigger hole|in ourselves than the bad guys.
{38934}{39050}I've run a dozen simulations.|It's an acceptable risk.
{39067}{39130}When it comes to modifying|ship's systems,
{39136}{39238}why don't you let the chief engineer|decide what's an acceptable risk.
{39243}{39286}Sir...
{39302}{39353}...if we do this by the book,
{39358}{39425}those aliens are likely to be back|before we're done.
{39430}{39488}I wanna get this job done|as quickly as you do, lieutenant,
{39493}{39611}but not if it means taking shortcuts|that could get our people killed.
{39657}{39703}Yes, sir.
{40137}{40162}Don't you ever rest?
{40167}{40237}You know, I can't sleep|without the warp engines online.
{40242}{40318}If I don't feel those vibrations,|something just doesn't seem right.
{40324}{40389}Well, I hope you get them fixed soon,|because you look like hell.
{40403}{40477}Well, with all due respect, captain,|you shouldn't be talking.
{40515}{40543}How's it coming?
{40548}{40634}Lt'll be online by the end of the day|tomorrow, guaranteed.
{40692}{40744}Could you check|the dilithium alignment for me?
{40749}{40789}Sure.
{40951}{40997}.06 microns.
{41051}{41119}At least we'll be flying home|under our own power.
{41152}{41206}Let me know if it drops|below.03.
{41267}{41383}I tried to get a message to the Vulcan|High Command, but it didn't go through.
{41388}{41473}If it had, we'd be expecting|a Surak-class ship tomorrow,
{41478}{41540}oh-so-politely offering to help us.
{41546}{41588}Well, the Vulcans|would've loved that.
{41593}{41673}Towing the pride of Starfleet|back to base.
{41688}{41777}Maybe we should thank our visitors|for blowing up the subspace amplifiers.
{41882}{41918}It's holding at.05.
{41932}{41977}Keep an eye on it.
{42017}{42079}You looking forward to seeing Earth?
{42109}{42137}Sure.
{42142}{42213}I just didn't think|I'd be seeing it so soon.
{42231}{42270}This time,
{42274}{42332}we won't be leaving|before we're ready.
{42367}{42415}Are your ears|a little pointier than usual?
{42435}{42476}I...
{42516}{42569}I never said|we didn't belong out here.
{42575}{42637}I just wish we'd have...
{42642}{42708}...launched with|all our systems online,
{42713}{42755}especially weapons.
{42761}{42812}If we hadn't launched when we did,
{42817}{42887}they'd have sent Klaang|back to Kronos in a box.
{42896}{42968}I keep reminding myself of that.
{42973}{43092}But I rushed us out of space dock|because I had something to prove.
{43097}{43154}And I risked the lives...
{43177}{43250}...of 81 humans, a Vulcan|and a Denobulan to do it.
{43256}{43291}Don't forget Porthos.
{43332}{43372}Thanks.
{43392}{43444}In the old days,|astronauts rode rockets
{43449}{43521}with millions of litres of hydrogen|burning under their seats.
{43526}{43562}You think they said:
{43567}{43668}"Gee, I'd love to go to the moon today,|but it seems a little risky"?
{43692}{43738}I think if you asked anyone onboard
{43744}{43802}whether they thought this mission|was worth the risk,
{43807}{43880}you'd get the same answer|from every one of them.
{44038}{44088}Let me know|when we're ready to go to warp.
{44117}{44159}Aye, sir.
{44382}{44443}Have you still got those guns|hooked up to the impulse engines?
{44448}{44523}- I'm just disconnecting them now.|- Hang on a minute.
{44578}{44624}You're sure this will work?
{44629}{44689}Yes, commander, I am.
{44701}{44764}Then based on the recommendation|of the armoury officer,
{44769}{44835}the chief engineer finds|the level of risk acceptable.
{44891}{44999}In that case, if the chief engineer|wouldn't mind getting his hands dirty,
{45004}{45039}I could use some help.
{45138}{45222}Captain's starlog,|September 1 st, 2151.
{45226}{45301}It's been two days now|with no sign of the alien vessel.
{45307}{45365}My crew has managed|to do in 48 hours
{45371}{45467}what would've taken the armoury team|at Jupiter Station at least a week.
{45472}{45544}To say that I am proud of them|would be an understatement.
{45562}{45622}We're preparing our first test.
{45626}{45679}Everybody has their fingers crossed,
{45684}{45741}including me.
{45799}{45866}- Sure there's nothing down there?|- Yes, captain.
{45871}{45919}Not even a microbe?|I don't wanna blow up something
{45924}{45998}that could evolve into a sentient|species in a couple of billion years.
{46004}{46058}There's nothing there.
{46078}{46145}Archer to Lieutenant Reed.|Have you got a lock?
{46150}{46222}- Yes, captain.|- Let's start small.
{46227}{46290}Shave a couple of metres|off the top of that peak.
{46314}{46374}Acquiring the target.
{46392}{46463}Full power to the primary coils.
{46628}{46690}Phase-cannons one and two,|standing by.
{46719}{46770}Mr Reed,
{46774}{46825}the honour is all yours.
{47166}{47207}I just asked for a little off the top.
{47223}{47300}- Check the cannons. Be careful there.|- Yes, sir.
{47316}{47377}The blast yield was ten times|what we expected.
{47381}{47408}What happened?
{47414}{47487}Something overloaded|the phase modulators.
{47493}{47553}The plasma recoil blew out relays|across decks C and D.
{47559}{47625}I'm getting an anomalous reading|from Launch Bay 2.
{47638}{47702}Trip, T'Pol.
{48263}{48315}There. What's that?
{48376}{48422}You think that's what's causing|the power surge?
{48427}{48469}It's very likely.
{48477}{48549}It's putting out a tremendous|amount of energy.
{48554}{48611}Over 600 megajoules.
{48630}{48683}They're toying with us.
{48690}{48766}They want us to know they can|destroy us whenever they want,
{48772}{48811}even with our own weapons.
{48817}{48856}Whatever it is,
{48861}{48928}it's tapped into most of our systems,|including internal sensors,
{48935}{48994}and communications on every deck.
{49141}{49224}Activate visual sensor J-15.
{49249}{49390}I assume you planted that because|you wanted to learn more about us.
{49420}{49489}I'll be happy to give you|a quick lesson.
{49500}{49556}We're not here to make enemies.
{49561}{49611}But just because we're not|looking for a fight
{49617}{49692}doesn't mean we'll|run away from one.
{49696}{49766}You may think|you've left us defenceless,
{49770}{49834}but let me tell you something|about humans.
{49838}{49893}We don't give up easily.
{49910}{49979}We'll protect Enterprise...
{50057}{50110}...any way we can.
{50276}{50317}Doctor?
{50331}{50390}I'll be with you in a moment, ensign.
{50406}{50454}I see you released your patients.
{50475}{50554}They're going to be fine. I sent them|back to their quarters to rest.
{50559}{50586}That's good to hear.
{50651}{50682}What can I do for you?
{50726}{50782}You spend a lot of time|in the mess hall.
{50788}{50840}Have you ever had a meal|with Lieutenant Reed?
{50844}{50876}Many times.
{50882}{50951}Any idea what his favourite food|might be?
{50979}{51037}Ah, the birthday dinner.
{51074}{51108}Well, the man|loves a good breakfast.
{51115}{51185}- Like what?|- Eggs. I've seen him eat a lot of eggs.
{51190}{51286}- How does he like them?|- Scrambled, poached, over easy.
{51291}{51370}Maybe chef could make him|a big omelette.
{51377}{51432}Oh, and he enjoys pancakes,|on occasion.
{51437}{51499}He has the odd habit of spreading|peanut butter on them.
{51503}{51584}Sausage, another favourite too.|Bacon too, come to think of it.
{51589}{51663}Is there any one food in particular?
{51720}{51750}Not that I recall.
{51833}{51920}Breaking a Vulcan encryption code|would be easier than this.
{51924}{51991}If anything comes to mind,|I'll let you know.
{51995}{52055}I don't suppose scanning|his taste buds would help.
{52067}{52139}Medically speaking,|there's no accounting for taste.
{52163}{52214}Thanks anyway.
{52250}{52310}- Bromelain.|- Sorry?
{52316}{52361}I think I can help you, ensign.
{52395}{52491}But it would mean going into|Mr Reed's medical records.
{52497}{52534}That information is confidential.
{52539}{52617}I'm under direct orders|from the captain.
{52639}{52706}Couldn't you make an exception?
{52729}{52820}Under the circumstances,|I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
{52896}{52968}I've made it a point to study|each crewman's medical history,
{52973}{53032}and I remember noticing that|Lieutenant Reed suffers
{53038}{53073}from a number of allergies.
{53078}{53195}Let's see, dust mites, oak pollen,|tropical grasses.
{53201}{53239}Oh, here it is.
{53244}{53356}He's averse to various plant enzymes,|including bromelain.
{53362}{53419}What does all this have to do|with what he likes to eat?
{53424}{53488}Over the last several years,|he's been taking regular injections,
{53492}{53544}so that his body|can tolerate bromelain.
{53560}{53620}- A plant enzyme.|- Yes.
{53626}{53726}- Found in...?|- Among other things, pineapple.
{53731}{53775}Pineapple.
{53780}{53822}This doesn't mean|it's his favourite food.
{53828}{53887}It's close enough.|Thank you, doctor.
{54110}{54152}- It's them.|- Where are they?
{54157}{54239}Closing from astern, 20,000 metres.
{54244}{54322}- Fifteen.|- Should I try evasive manoeuvres?
{54329}{54416}No. Come about,|and hold our position.
{54446}{54499}Bridge to the armoury.|Guess who's back.
{54505}{54531}We see them.
{54537}{54590}Both forward cannons|are charged and ready.
{54595}{54662}- Get a lock and stand by.|- They've stopped.
{54668}{54730}- Eleven thousand metres.|- We're being hailed.
{54749}{54792}Put it through.
{54823}{54875}- Defenceless.|Prepare to surrender your vessel.
{54880}{54920}You are defenceless.
{54926}{54966}- Prepare to surrender.|- Shut it off.
{54972}{55006}You are defenceless...
{55030}{55110}Ten thousand metres, nine.
{55116}{55166}Mr Reed...
{55172}{55209}...both cannons. Fire.
{55431}{55524}I'm reading a fluctuation|in their shielding, but it's marginal.
{55529}{55602}- Five thousand metres.|- Is that the best we can do?
{55608}{55657}Even if these had been|installed at Jupiter Station,
{55663}{55714}they wouldn't be any more effective|than they are now.
{55719}{55792}What about yesterday? You blew up|something the size of Mt McKinley.
{55797}{55852}Yes, sir, but that was due|to an overload.
{55907}{55944}Can you overload them again?
{55949}{56002}Sir, after the damage|from the first time,
{56007}{56066}the plasma recoil would probably|knock out two decks.
{56072}{56111}Can you overload them again?
{56123}{56152}I believe so.
{56159}{56217}I'd rather knock out two decks|than surrender this ship.
{56224}{56265}- But, sir...|- Hold on a minute.
{56272}{56323}- There's a way to handle the recoil.|- How?
{56328}{56373}All that excess energy's|gotta go somewhere.
{56379}{56432}- Why not put it to use?|- Three thousand metres.
{56438}{56493}If we repolarise the gravity plating|to absorb the recoil,
{56498}{56547}we can shunt the energy|to structural integrity.
{56553}{56605}- Sounds good to me.|- The grav-plating wasn't designed
{56610}{56647}to withstand that much force.
{56651}{56703}We all understand the risks.|Get started.
{56708}{56751}Aye, sir.
{56894}{56952}- One thousand metres.|- Malcolm.
{56978}{57024}Stand by.
{57054}{57089}Trip.
{57137}{57207}- We're ready, sir.|- Then fire.
{57501}{57569}- Their shields are failing.|- Torpedoes.
{58307}{58351}Bridge to the armoury.
{58356}{58391}Everything okay down there?
{58396}{58441}We blew out the plasma relays|on B Deck,
{58446}{58525}but it's nothing we can't take care of.|What about our friends?
{58530}{58623}I have a feeling their repairs are|gonna be a little more extensive.
{58641}{58698}- How'd the cannons hold up?|- Fairly well.
{58704}{58749}I'll have them back online|within the hour.
{58756}{58819}The aft cannons should be working|by the end of day tomorrow.
{58825}{58866}Good work.
{58926}{58968}Well...
{59019}{59134}I see no reason for us to go back|to Jupiter Station now.
{59156}{59191}Do you?
{59196}{59239}No.
{59244}{59305}At least there's one good thing|about coming back this far.
{59310}{59362}We can drop another|subspace amplifier.
{59403}{59441}Get on it.
{59642}{59690}Travis...
{59726}{59780}...resume our previous course.
{59785}{59838}Gladly, sir.
{59995}{60036}To our mysterious friends.
{60041}{60089}I wish I could've seen the looks|on their faces.
{60094}{60137}Hear, hear.
{60215}{60285}Don't get too used to|drinking on duty.
{60304}{60378}But you did your jobs|pretty damn well yesterday.
{60390}{60445}I'd say that deserves|a little celebration.
{60456}{60493}Cheers.
{60580}{60616}If you really wanna thank us,
{60621}{60676}how about letting us|sleep in tomorrow?
{60716}{60767}Permission granted.
{60785}{60871}- Hoshi, what can we do for you?|- Sorry to interrupt, captain.
{60876}{60934}I have that component|that you asked for.
{60940}{61000}Great. Put it down right here.
{61065}{61134}As long as we've got you here,|Malcolm...
{61205}{61233}...happy birthday.
{61238}{61301}You shouldn't have gone|to any trouble.
{61306}{61353}No trouble at all.
{61402}{61485}Mr Reed, the honour is yours.
{61848}{61878}Pineapple.
{61884}{61926}That's my favour...
{61960}{62010}How on earth did you know?
{62063}{62105}We have our sources.
