{201}{259}Good morning, everyone.
{493}{561}Be patient.
{971}{1027}Someone had a busy night.
{1213}{1258}Don't worry.
{1303}{1347}Didn't forget you.
{1564}{1677}Let's try it without|biting my fingers this time.
{2013}{2140}"It's been a long road|Gettin' from there to here"
{2200}{2281}"It's been a long time"
{2287}{2378}"But my time is finally near"
{2384}{2486}"And I will see my dream|Come alive at last"
{2491}{2561}"I will touch the sky"
{2565}{2656}"And they're not gonna|Hold me down no more"
{2661}{2733}"No, they're not gonna change my mind"
{2738}{2851}"'Cause I've got faith of the heart"
{2856}{2927}"I'm going where my heart will take me"
{2931}{3042}"I've got faith to believe"
{3047}{3109}"I can do anything"
{3114}{3221}"I've got strength of the soul"
{3227}{3296}"And no one's gonna bend or break me"
{3301}{3428}"I can reach any star"
{3437}{3527}"I've got faith"
{3532}{3621}"I've got faith"
{3626}{3741}"Faith of the heart"
{4024}{4067}People are getting jealous.
{4101}{4201}You get more letters from home|than anyone on this ship.
{4207}{4236}What's her name?
{4244}{4295}It's nothing like that.|They're from Dr Lucas.
{4300}{4356}He's a colleague from|the Interspecies Medical Exchange.
{4363}{4420}I didn't know there were humans|serving on Denobula.
{4427}{4467}He's the first.|He helped me get settled in
{4473}{4536}when I came to San Francisco.|I'm trying to return the favour.
{4542}{4598}I had a pen pal once,|when I was 12.
{4602}{4696}From Brisbane, Australia.|And I loved getting her letters.
{4702}{4814}It was like this little window into distant|places with strange-sounding names.
{4826}{4898}The curiosity of an explorer,|even then.
{4903}{4976}- Are we still on for later?|- Oh, yes.
{4981}{5021}I'm looking forward to it.
{5026}{5094}If you think you're ready,|we can tackle gerunds today.
{5100}{5139}I can hardly wait.
{5313}{5387}My dear Dr Phlox,|it's me again, Jeremy.
{5392}{5458}I hope you're well.|It's been a hell of a week here.
{5463}{5532}Wall-to-wall emergencies|and three midnight deliveries.
{5536}{5601}It's mating season,|so you know how that goes.
{5606}{5667}I thought human reproduction|was complicated.
{5673}{5768}You Denobulans make us look|like single-cell organisms.
{5858}{5934}Dear Dr Lucas, sorry to hear|about your dificult week.
{5939}{6007}I know the rigours|of mating season only too well.
{6012}{6070}It might help to bear in mind|that a dose of niaxilin
{6075}{6169}can be quite efective|in separating the two combatants.
{6174}{6233}It sounds like you've settled|in to your new living quarters.
{6238}{6326}That part of the city has some|very lively Kaybin bars along the river.
{6331}{6379}Up here, doc.
{6383}{6431}They are open all night, if I recall.
{6436}{6482}Please don't|venture inside them unescorted.
{6488}{6570}They can be quite disturbing|to the uninitiated.
{6589}{6648}He was trying to reroute|a nitrogen valve, and the seal blew.
{6670}{6714}How bad is it?
{6846}{6887}Oh, it's superficial.
{6893}{6945}Only first-degree burns.
{6950}{7032}A little dermaline gel|should do the trick.
{7037}{7087}Most of my work is fairly routine.
{7092}{7154}Scrapes and bruises,|the occasional emergency.
{7160}{7215}And you'll be pleased to hear|that the crew finally seems
{7220}{7299}to be growing accustomed|to an alien doctor onboard.
{7305}{7364}I must admit, I wasn't planning|to stay this long,
{7369}{7410}but the opportunity|to observe your species
{7414}{7501}on their first deep-space venture|has proven irresistible.
{7505}{7573}Lieutenant, I saved a seat for you.
{7576}{7649}Yeah, another time, doctor.|I'm due back in the armoury.
{7701}{7782}It's a bit daunting, at times,|trying to socialize with the crew,
{7786}{7816}form friendships.
{7821}{7881}But our profession guarantees|that sooner or later,
{7886}{7919}everyone comes to see us.
{7924}{8000}It makes interaction|quite a bit easier.
{8005}{8081}It's just a little|gastrointestinal distress.
{8145}{8211}He hasn't been himself lately.
{8217}{8311}Well, you've been feeding him|cheese again, haven't you?
{8316}{8372}You've got to learn|how to say no, captain.
{8378}{8445}No more dairy products,|you hear that? Doctor's orders.
{8450}{8529}I never thought I'd meet a species|that forges such intimate bonds
{8534}{8563}with lesser creatures.
{8568}{8674}It's surprising the things you humans|choose to invest your emotions in.
{8714}{8758}- Sorry to bother you with this.|- No bother.
{8764}{8818}He was one of my|more cooperative patients today.
{8851}{8894}Thanks, doc.
{8919}{8984}See all the trouble you cause?
{8990}{9057}I've noticed how the captain|seems to anthropomorphize his pet.
{9062}{9117}He even talks to the creature,|although I'm fairly certain
{9121}{9177}it has no idea what he's saying.
{9183}{9307}Then again, I've been known to speak|to my Pyrithian bat on occasion.
{9313}{9364}We won't be going|to America this time.
{9369}{9427}But always I go with you|wherever you go.
{9432}{9477}Understand?
{9484}{9528}- You go now, Maria.|- No.
{9535}{9595}- No, I stay with you, Roberto.|- No, Maria.
{9600}{9624}What I do now, I do alone.
{9631}{9683}I couldn't do it if you were here.
{9688}{9773}If you go, then I go too.|Don't you see how it is?
{9777}{9807}Whichever one there is...
{9812}{9838}No! No!
{9844}{9883}We can go if you're bored.
{9888}{9964}No, no, I'd like to stay|and see what happens.
{10012}{10042}You won't be disappointed.
{10048}{10091}The ending's classic.
{10096}{10135}No, not the film.
{10141}{10204}I'm sensing a rising|emotional undercurrent in the room.
{10209}{10326}I'm curious to see if it culminates|in some kind of group response.
{10331}{10391}They don't have movies|where you come from, do they?
{10397}{10444}We had something similar|a few hundred years ago,
{10449}{10511}but they lost their appeal when|people discovered their real lives
{10517}{10559}were more interesting.
{10595}{10620}Still,
{10626}{10700}it's nice to take a break from real life|every now and then, don't you think?
{10718}{10748}I suppose it is.
{10756}{10853}Remember last night?|Our time is now.
{10908}{10963}You are me now, and I am you.
{11009}{11056}Now you understand.
{11061}{11098}Now you're going.
{11104}{11185}And you're going well|and fast and far.
{11192}{11232}Something in my eye.
{11238}{11297}Stand up now and go,|and we both go.
{11301}{11357}Stand up, Maria.|Remember, you're me too.
{11363}{11427}It's remarkable, doctor.|Even fictional characters
{11432}{11488}seem to elicit human compassion.
{11494}{11550}My shipmates have calmly faced|any number of dangers,
{11556}{11658}and yet, a simple movie|can bring tears to their eyes.
{11770}{11844}- Temporal vein.|- Temporal vein.
{11850}{11876}Internal maxillary.
{11883}{11946}And what is the maxillary|connected to?
{11982}{12076}- Posterior auricular?|- Very good.
{12082}{12138}The external jugular.
{12173}{12225}Superior vena cava.
{12231}{12271}- And that leads to?|- Oh, easy.
{12277}{12352}The seat of all joy and sadness.
{12380}{12474}Physiologically, it is nothing more|than a very efficient pump.
{12480}{12582}What could possibly make you people|think it is the source of all emotion?
{12588}{12664}Now, you may know about|our cardiopulmonary system,
{12670}{12742}but you have a lot to learn|about the human heart.
{12750}{12790}This is me.
{12833}{12899}- Good night.|- Oh, doctor.
{12904}{12959}I just wanted to thank you.
{12965}{13050}- It was fun tonight.|- You're welcome.
{13056}{13131}They're showing another one|next week. Sunset Boulevard.
{13137}{13224}- Think you might like it.|- I'm sure I will.
{13236}{13288}See you tomorrow? Oh, sorry.
{13293}{13363}I forgot, Denobulans don't like|to be touched.
{13368}{13397}It's all right.
{13403}{13487}I'm trying to shed|some of my cultural inhibitions.
{13494}{13530}Well, in that case...
{13555}{13593}...good night.
{13772}{13822}Since we were|on the subject of mating,
{13829}{13917}I think Crewman Cutler may be|romantically interested in me.
{13923}{13963}I can't be certain, however.
{13969}{14084}The pheromones of human females|aren't as potent as Denobulans'.
{14235}{14307}Are there any|inhabited systems nearby?
{14378}{14446}There's a Minshara-class planet|less than a light year away.
{14454}{14510}The ship's not answering|our hails, captain.
{14516}{14564}It's definitely pre-warp, sir.
{14571}{14599}It could be unmanned.
{14614}{14653}Maybe a probe of some kind.
{14660}{14709}Any bio-signs?
{14884}{14962}Two. But they're very faint.
{15027}{15095}Bring it into Launch Bay 2.
{15101}{15186}And tell Dr Phlox|he might have a couple of patients.
{15563}{15641}We found your ship adrift.
{15647}{15706}We thought we might|be able to help.
{15914}{15962}I need a little more.
{15967}{15999}I'm Jonathan Archer.
{16004}{16049}You're on the starship Enterprise.
{16265}{16289}Can you understand me?
{16355}{16394}Who are you?
{16418}{16470}- What planet?|- Earth.
{16475}{16502}We're from Earth.
{16536}{16605}This is a warp vessel?
{16627}{16654}Yes.
{16719}{16801}We left Valakis over a year ago,|along with three other ships.
{16809}{16833}Why?
{16864}{16921}You must have noticed|our condition by now.
{16925}{16980}I detected the illness.
{16989}{17050}Twelve million of us died|the year before we left.
{17061}{17117}I can only imagine|how many have died since.
{17122}{17167}Our doctors can't find a cure.
{17172}{17226}But a more advanced people,
{17231}{17300}people with warp technology,|like you,
{17306}{17373}your medical science|must be more effective.
{17392}{17443}You've encountered other|warp-capable species?
{17450}{17488}The M'klexa.
{17493}{17578}And the Ferengi.|They both visited our world.
{17583}{17624}Do you know them?
{17686}{17713}No.
{17779}{17850}- Are you the ship's doctor?|- I am.
{17882}{17918}My people are dying.
{17960}{17993}Will you allow him to help us?
{18155}{18204}Any thoughts?
{18263}{18301}They did come looking for us.
{18306}{18419}And considering they've already met|two other warp-capable species...
{18478}{18594}...the risk of contamination|seems acceptable.
{18663}{18690}See what you can do.
{18721}{18759}Thank you.
{18844}{18930}If this letter arrives later than usual,|doctor, I hope you'll forgive me.
{18936}{18985}I've been presented|with a rather unusual case
{18990}{19050}involving a pair of alien astronauts.
{19068}{19121}It may not surprise you|that they landed in my Sickbay
{19126}{19200}through an act|of human compassion.
{19361}{19447}I said before that my duties entail|the occasional emergency.
{19460}{19530}Emergencies, it seem,|come in all shapes and sizes.
{19536}{19591}I was once nearly overwhelmed|by 50 patients
{19595}{19662}in a refugee camp on Matalas.
{19667}{19800}Captain Archer is now asking me to|take responsibility for over 50 million.
{20507}{20538}It's a nostril?
{20688}{20784}I've noticed you and Crewman Cutler|spending a lot of time together.
{20808}{20864}Is there something going on|between you two?
{20869}{20911}In Denobulan, please.
{21148}{21231}I believe the word|you're searching for is "dating."
{21293}{21335}Well, are you?
{21639}{21679}There are ways you can tell.
{22003}{22044}To make physical contact?
{22053}{22112}Well, she did kiss me|on the cheek the other night.
{22123}{22176}In Denobulan, doctor.
{22535}{22568}I beg your pardon?
{22574}{22665}Couple. A cute couple.
{22940}{22978}It's pretty crowded out there.
{22983}{23048}A lot of spacecraft|and artificial satellites.
{23053}{23103}Nothing I can't avoid, sir.
{23108}{23186}Put us into low orbit, Travis.|They're expecting us.
{23200}{23269}The captain has committed|all our resources to helping people
{23273}{23343}he didn't even know existed|two days ago.
{23349}{23442}Once again, I'm struck|by your species' desire to help others.
{23577}{23626}It seems the more aggressively|we treat the illness,
{23631}{23659}the more resistant it becomes.
{23665}{23725}- What's the current rate of infection?|- One out of three.
{23730}{23772}It's a full-blown epidemic.
{23777}{23843}These are in|the most advanced stage.
{23880}{23949}You're treating them|with a synthetic antibody?
{23954}{24023}It's effective at first,|but the disease mutates.
{24028}{24067}Once it moves into|the respiratory system,
{24073}{24109}there's no way of controlling it.
{24114}{24179}Pulmonary failure usually follows|in a few days.
{24183}{24244}Captain, treatment with priaxate|should ease the symptoms
{24249}{24310}in the sickest patients,|at least temporarily.
{24315}{24401}I can easily show the Valakians how|to synthesize as much as they need.
{24407}{24444}Go ahead.
{24449}{24494}I'll need all of lab work you have,
{24500}{24563}and case histories of patients|in every stage of the disease.
{24568}{24608}Certainly.
{24873}{24928}Excuse me. We're the ones|that brought him here.
{24934}{24983}Can you tell me how he's doing?
{25055}{25117}I'm sorry. Could you say that again?
{25200}{25287}We should assign some crewmen|to watch Dr Phlox and his equipment.
{25293}{25373}I don't think these people|are about to steal anything.
{25377}{25484}Your experience with|lesser civilizations is limited, captain.
{25489}{25575}You might be surprised what|a temptation our technology can be.
{25792}{25816}Hoshi.
{25822}{25883}Captain, the UT can't translate|his language.
{25950}{25990}He doesn't speak|the same language as you?
{25995}{26061}No. He's Menk.
{26066}{26147}They're not as evolved as Valakians,|but they're very hard workers.
{26151}{26218}They're indigenous to this planet?
{26222}{26263}Is that so strange?
{26267}{26317}On most of the planets|we've encountered,
{26323}{26419}only one species of humanoid|survived the evolutionary process.
{26435}{26492}You two are not from|the same planet?
{26534}{26572}No.
{26590}{26670}We may look alike,|but the similarity ends there.
{26676}{26739}I don't see any Menk patients here.|Where are they being treated?
{26744}{26784}They haven't contracted the disease.
{26814}{26849}Have you looked into their immunity?
{26854}{26903}It was one of the first things|we pursued,
{26908}{26987}but Menk and Valakian|are physiologically incompatible.
{26993}{27024}Still, it could be significant.
{27029}{27084}I'd like to see your data|on the Menk as well.
{27088}{27127}Of course.
{27146}{27212}I had meant|to transmit this letter by now,
{27217}{27308}but the Valakian epidemic|has been taking up most of my time.
{27313}{27394}Working with the physicians here|has been quite fulfilling.
{27399}{27494}I suppose it's the reason we joined|the Interspecies Medical Exchange.
{27500}{27572}But I worry about|falsely raising their hopes.
{27577}{27639}Despite Captain Archer's|confidence in me,
{27645}{27779}I'm afraid the scale of the disaster|may outweigh our best intentions.
{27784}{27873}I've decided to enlist|Crewman Cutler's help in my task.
{27878}{27929}So, what are the Menk like?
{27934}{27992}You'll have the chance|to see for yourself.
{27997}{28059}You're a trained exobiologist.
{28064}{28120}I'd find your assistance|in the field invaluable.
{28126}{28152}Thank you, doctor.
{28157}{28232}On a personal note, the afection|Crewman Cutler is showing
{28236}{28286}has left me a bit perplexed.
{28292}{28355}So I've decided to discuss it|with the one person onboard
{28360}{28435}who might understand|the complexities of the situation.
{28445}{28519}- That's impossible.|- It's nothing to be ashamed of.
{28524}{28617}My teeth were sealed with a|tri-fluorinate compound 23 years ago.
{28622}{28695}Well, normal wear and tear|has allowed some decay to sneak in.
{28701}{28739}See for yourself.
{28765}{28841}There, on your anterior tricuspid.
{28943}{29018}I'm sure you have more pressing|concerns. I'll come back later.
{29023}{29090}I'm waiting for the computer|to analyse some tissue samples.
{29095}{29165}It'll only take a moment to repair.
{29372}{29419}Open, please.
{29439}{29483}Wider.
{29607}{29695}You've lived among humans for quite|some time now, sub-commander.
{29700}{29729}I'm curious,
{29734}{29790}have you ever known them|to mate outside their species?
{29828}{29869}There it is.
{29999}{30045}Are you asking|out of personal interest
{30050}{30102}or scientific curiosity?
{30130}{30154}Both, I suppose.
{30158}{30205}There's a crewman onboard|I've become close with.
{30211}{30285}I think she's attracted to me.
{30290}{30352}In my experience, humans lack...
{30357}{30431}...the emotional maturity|for interspecies relationships.
{30436}{30532}They tend to be easily infatuated|with things they find new.
{30537}{30619}This crewman may simply be|satisfying her curiosity
{30624}{30655}at your expense.
{30762}{30800}Open.
{30805}{30899}Sub-commander T'Pol has a very|pragmatic view of the universe.
{30905}{30938}I admire her logic,
{30944}{31016}although she lacks the instinctiveness|that a more emotional response
{31021}{31062}can provide.
{31068}{31137}Somehow, I find this unsettling.
{31141}{31220}There. That wasn't so bad.
{31274}{31344}Thanks for your insights.
{31349}{31375}Be careful.
{31579}{31611}Come in.
{31700}{31747}You asked to see me, captain.
{31751}{31804}I've just gotten a call|from the director of the clinic.
{31813}{31871}He's eager to hear|if you've made any progress.
{31971}{31995}Doctor?
{32050}{32185}I've developed a medication|to ease the symptoms of the disease.
{32209}{32246}But...
{32272}{32308}But?
{32368}{32482}This epidemic isn't being caused|by a virus or bacteria.
{32488}{32574}The proteins that bind|their chromosomes are deteriorating.
{32579}{32620}Their illness is genetic.
{32625}{32685}It's been going on|for thousands of years,
{32690}{32728}but the rate of mutation|has accelerated
{32732}{32800}over the last few generations.
{32804}{32857}Based on my projections,
{32862}{32943}the Valakians will be extinct|in less than two centuries.
{32989}{33050}I wish I had better news.
{33153}{33183}What about a cure?
{33209}{33300}Genetic abnormalities on this level|are very difficult to reverse.
{33319}{33364}But not impossible.
{33376}{33481}No. I still believe the Menk immunity|could be the key to a cure.
{33486}{33538}I plan to study them in more detail.
{33548}{33584}Take all the time you need.
{34026}{34112}When I began to practice medicine,|I had no idea it would take me
{34116}{34163}on journeys to other worlds.
{34169}{34269}Every species I encounter allows me|to explore new physiology.
{34274}{34328}At the moment, I find myself|in the enviable position
{34334}{34407}of studying two humanoids|from the same planet.
{34412}{34489}It's a rare and exciting opportunity.
{34537}{34617}Tell them we'd like to run some tests,|take samples of their blood.
{34624}{34680}It will be completely painless.
{34929}{34988}He says they'd be happy to help.
{35000}{35098}As fascinating as the two species are|from a biological standpoint,
{35103}{35177}it's their ability to coexist|that intrigues me the most.
{35183}{35266}The Valakians are highly evolved,|technologically advanced,
{35272}{35363}while the Menk are relatively|primitive by comparison.
{35369}{35492}To my surprise, the two seem|to be living side by side, peacefully.
{36081}{36114}He wants to know|what you're doing.
{36144}{36214}Have you learned enough Menk|to explain a molecular bio-scan?
{36239}{36286}Doctor...
{36487}{36515}What'd you say?
{36522}{36585}Told him the doctor was looking|inside of him.
{36701}{36748}Thank you.
{36846}{36891}You're welcome.
{36977}{37005}Food.
{37011}{37098}- Did he just say "food"?|- Food.
{37104}{37135}Have you been|teaching him English?
{37141}{37205}No. He must've picked it up|by listening to us.
{37210}{37292}Perhaps we've found|an assistant com officer.
{37338}{37366}No food?
{37568}{37662}I haven't seen any crops or livestock.|I wonder where they get this.
{37851}{37925}He says the soil here|isn't good for planting.
{38082}{38158}The Valakians don't let them live|where the land is fertile.
{38300}{38343}The Valakians give them|whatever they need.
{38348}{38388}Food, clothing, medicine.
{38501}{38564}He says the Valakians|are good to them.
{38569}{38615}They protect them.
{38847}{38901}Despite the Menk's insistence|that they're treated well,
{38907}{38998}my human crewmates|seem to see things diferently.
{39095}{39150}Well, that's the last one.
{39155}{39236}They think the Menk|are being exploited by the Valakians.
{39242}{39312}So their first instinct|is to rise to their defence.
{39317}{39438}Despite the fact that the Menk don't|appear to need or want a defender.
{39457}{39480}Wait a moment.
{39623}{39683}- Impressive.|- What'd he do?
{39690}{39744}He's grouped|the samples together by family.
{39750}{39837}Cross-referenced by bloodlines|and marriage,
{39843}{39920}if I'm interpreting|the colour codes correctly.
{39994}{40065}On the surface, the Menk appear|to be a primitive species,
{40071}{40142}unsophisticated even|by human standards.
{40147}{40196}No ofence.|But their abilities appear
{40201}{40301}to have been underestimated,|even by myself.
{40335}{40456}It seems like a vacation, if I didn't|keep remembering why we were here.
{40500}{40556}I'm gonna help Larr|finish packing up.
{40560}{40641}He's back on duty|at the hospital in an hour.
{40758}{40815}This really doesn't bother you?
{40819}{40853}What?
{40858}{40921}The way the Valakians treat them.
{40926}{40956}Why should it?
{40961}{41004}On most worlds|with two humanoid species,
{41009}{41059}one would've driven the other|to extinction.
{41064}{41109}Here, they've developed|a symbiotic relationship
{41114}{41165}that seems to work quite well.
{41169}{41213}They force the Menk|to live in compounds.
{41218}{41268}They treat them almost like pets.
{41273}{41360}Their culture is different.|It's their way.
{41366}{41413}Doesn't make it right.
{41447}{41499}Are you married, crewman?
{41524}{41553}Of course not.
{41559}{41586}I would've told you.
{41590}{41634}I'm married.
{41647}{41717}- You are.|- Three times.
{41723}{41777}You have two ex-wives?
{41782}{41858}I have three current wives,|and they each have two husbands.
{41863}{41922}Not counting myself.
{41927}{42032}Is that considered normal|for Denobulans?
{42037}{42076}Quite.
{42156}{42185}Why are you telling me this?
{42214}{42266}I've been getting certain signals|from you that suggest
{42270}{42340}you may be interested|in a romantic relationship with me.
{42458}{42525}Unless I misinterpreted|those signals.
{42540}{42578}You didn't.
{42593}{42694}But I still don't know why|you're telling me this.
{42733}{42800}You need to know|that my culture is different.
{42806}{42857}- That doesn't matter.|- It doesn't?
{42868}{42893}This culture is different.
{42899}{42944}That seems to matter to you|a great deal.
{42960}{42999}Phlox...
{43045}{43134}...as far as|your extended family goes,
{43139}{43263}I'm not interested in becoming|wife number four.
{43283}{43329}I just wanna be your friend.
{43406}{43454}What do you mean by friend?
{43491}{43561}Let's just see where it goes.
{44141}{44183}Captain.
{44205}{44236}I'm glad you could come.
{44252}{44298}It was no problem.
{44354}{44398}How are you feeling?
{44441}{44496}The medication you gave us|helps with the pain.
{44530}{44569}But my...
{44588}{44656}...prognosis hasn't changed.
{44686}{44750}We're trying to do something|about that.
{44755}{44810}I have a lot of faith in Dr Phlox.
{44910}{44996}I wanted to thank you for getting|me home before it was too late.
{45044}{45089}Took us a year to get out|to where you found us.
{45094}{45133}You brought us home in a day.
{45147}{45252}We started out in ships|very similar to yours.
{45267}{45346}Someday, you'll be travelling|just as fast as we are.
{45380}{45425}Someday may not be soon enough.
{45455}{45515}If your doctor can't help us...
{45547}{45602}...we'll need to keep searching|for others that can.
{45676}{45715}We need warp drive.
{45766}{45857}A million more of us will die before|our next ship even leaves this system.
{45862}{45945}With warp engines, we won't|have to wait for people to find us.
{45949}{45997}We can seek help on our own.
{46030}{46125}You may not find that everyone|you meet wants to help you.
{46149}{46191}Still...
{46196}{46238}...we have to try.
{46411}{46473}- Archer.|- It's Phlox, captain.
{46479}{46533}We've collected all the samples.
{46557}{46619}I'll meet you at the shuttlepod.|Archer out.
{47262}{47309}Anything to report?
{47315}{47387}We've received 29 hails|in the past two hours.
{47392}{47418}From whom?
{47422}{47481}Apparently, word of our arrival|has spread quickly.
{47495}{47547}Other clinics are requesting help.
{47553}{47651}Two orbital spacecraft approached us|while you were on the planet.
{47655}{47728}They mistakenly believed|that we already had a cure.
{47754}{47811}We had to turn them away.
{47908}{47956}Do you have a minute?
{48371}{48447}The Valakians want|our warp technology.
{48487}{48514}What did you tell them?
{48561}{48619}That I'd think about it.
{48624}{48664}And?
{48687}{48752}It's safe to say I know|where you stand on the subject.
{48773}{48836}Even if you give them|our reactor schematics,
{48841}{48941}they don't have the technical expertise|to build a warp engine.
{48968}{49042}They have no experience|working with antimatter.
{49063}{49135}I doubt they even realize|how dangerous it is.
{49202}{49232}They're not ready.
{49237}{49304}Then your decision|shouldn't be difficult.
{49353}{49396}We could...
{49419}{49467}...stay and help them.
{49510}{49592}The Vulcans stayed to help Earth|90 years ago.
{49611}{49659}We're still there.
{49746}{49810}I never thought I'd say this...
{49835}{49934}...but I'm beginning to understand|how the Vulcans must have felt.
{50749}{50854}- Trouble sleeping, captain?|- Looks like I'm not the only one.
{50882}{50926}Actually...
{50931}{51009}...Denobulans require very little rest.
{51014}{51077}Unless you count|our annual hibernation cycle.
{51098}{51160}Am I gonna be without|my doctor this winter?
{51166}{51200}Only for six days.
{51223}{51262}Maybe I'll join you.
{51332}{51362}Any progress?
{51453}{51543}The research has been challenging,|to say the least.
{51563}{51607}A cure, doctor.
{51612}{51644}Have you found a cure?
{51820}{51877}Even if I could find one,
{51882}{51933}I'm not sure it would be ethical.
{51951}{51975}Ethical?
{51992}{52052}We'd be interfering|with an evolutionary process
{52058}{52119}that has been going on|for thousands of years.
{52157}{52242}Every time you treat an illness,|you're interfering.
{52246}{52285}That's what doctors do.
{52326}{52365}You're forgetting about the Menk.
{52389}{52423}What about the Menk?
{52428}{52498}I've been studying|their genome, as well.
{52504}{52553}And I've seen evidence|of increasing intelligence.
{52558}{52598}Motor skills, linguistic abilities.
{52603}{52670}Unlike the Valakians,|they appear to be in the process
{52675}{52732}of an evolutionary awakening.
{52738}{52812}It may take millennia,
{52817}{52878}but the Menk have the potential|to become the dominant species
{52882}{52906}on this planet.
{52937}{53032}And that won't happen as long|as the Valakians are around?
{53037}{53085}If the Menk are to flourish,
{53089}{53154}they need an opportunity|to survive on their own.
{53159}{53208}Well, what are you suggesting?
{53241}{53302}We choose...
{53307}{53367}...one species over the other?
{53371}{53464}All I'm saying is that we let nature|make the choice.
{53472}{53508}The hell with nature.
{53512}{53550}You're a doctor.
{53555}{53627}You have a moral obligation|to help people who are suffering.
{53633}{53662}I'm also a scientist.
{53668}{53734}And I'm obligated to consider|the larger issues.
{53775}{53829}Thirty-five thousand years ago,|your species coexisted
{53834}{53888}with other humanoids.|Isn't that correct?
{53893}{53917}Go ahead.
{53941}{53992}What if an alien race had interfered
{53997}{54097}and given the Neanderthals|an evolutionary advantage?
{54103}{54145}Fortunately for you, they didn't.
{54163}{54237}I appreciate your perspective|on all of this.
{54243}{54306}But we're talking about something|that might happen.
{54310}{54413}Might happen thousands|of years from now.
{54433}{54487}They've asked for our help.
{54514}{54605}I am not prepared to walk away|based on theory.
{54634}{54673}Evolution is more than a theory.
{54679}{54780}It is a fundamental scientific principle.|Forgive me for saying so,
{54785}{54828}but I believe your compassion|for these people
{54833}{54860}is affecting your judgement.
{54866}{54916}My compassion|guides my judgement.
{54938}{55001}- Captain...|- Can you find a cure?
{55076}{55105}Doctor?
{55321}{55359}I already have.
{55439}{55520}Two days ago, when we|first discovered the alien shuttle,
{55525}{55622}I had no idea that I'd be facing|a dilemma of this magnitude.
{55627}{55729}For the first time, I find myself|in conflict with my captain.
{55735}{55843}But he is my captain, and he's placed|a great deal of trust in me.
{55848}{55907}I believe I owe him the same.
{55912}{55947}I only hope that he's willing to look
{55952}{56023}beyond his sympathy|for these poor people.
{56215}{56242}Doctor.
{56251}{56291}Captain.
{56333}{56442}I'm going down|to the Valakian hospital.
{56447}{56485}Sir...
{56516}{56589}...it would go against all my principles|if I didn't ask you to reconsider...
{56595}{56642}I have reconsidered.
{56661}{56745}I spent the whole night reconsidering.
{56751}{56826}And what I've decided|goes against all my principles.
{56937}{56982}Someday...
{56998}{57071}...my people are going to come up|with some sort of a doctrine.
{57076}{57148}Something that tells us|what we can and can't do out here.
{57153}{57218}Should and shouldn't do.
{57238}{57374}But until somebody tells me|that they've drafted that directive...
{57405}{57493}...l'm going to have to|remind myself every day...
{57520}{57591}...that we didn't come out here|to play God.
{57642}{57709}I'd like to think, Dr Lucas,|that if I'd had a chance
{57714}{57756}to talk to you face-to-face,
{57761}{57797}you'd have never let me|even consider
{57801}{57862}withholding my findings|from the captain.
{57867}{57970}But I'm ashamed to say|I almost did just that.
{58003}{58101}Phlox tells me|this medicine will help...
{58106}{58143}...ease the symptoms.
{58148}{58225}For a decade, maybe more.
{58285}{58343}A lot can happen in that time.
{58358}{58444}I wouldn't be surprised|if you developed a cure on your own.
{58450}{58497}And if we don't?
{58559}{58664}With a warp-capable starship, our|chances would be greatly improved.
{58849}{58894}I'm sorry.
{59010}{59109}This will give you|detailed instructions on how...
{59115}{59181}...to synthesize more of the medicine.
{59212}{59272}We appreciate|everything you've done.
{59355}{59421}If I hadn't trusted him|to make the right choice,
{59428}{59479}I'd have been no better|than the Vulcan diplomats
{59484}{59529}who held your species back
{59534}{59630}because they felt you couldn't make|proper decisions on your own.
{59636}{59732}I came very close|to misjudging Jonathan Archer.
{59758}{59886}But this incident has helped me gain|a new respect for him.
{59913}{59970}Happiness and health to you, doctor.
{59976}{60060}Your dedicated colleague,
{60066}{60102}Phlox.
{60222}{60252}You wanted to see me.
{60271}{60307}Please.
{60340}{60395}For Dr Lucas.
{60399}{60459}It'll go out first thing in the morning.
{60490}{60544}Everything all right?
{60549}{60598}Fine, fine.
{60657}{60725}The past few days have been taxing.
{60755}{60804}Want my advice?
{60820}{60853}Get out of Sickbay.
{60900}{60955}Yes. Perhaps you're right.
{60998}{61037}Good night.
{61072}{61109}Good night.
{61371}{61427}Phlox to Crewman Cutler.
{61433}{61474}Go ahead.
{61499}{61558}I know it's short notice, but...
{61577}{61632}...I was wondering if you might|like to join me for a little...
{61643}{61696}...snack in the mess hall.
{61713}{61779}I could use...
{61784}{61836}...a friend right about now.
{61842}{61881}Ten minutes?
{61886}{61925}Thank you.
{62218}{62244}Sweet dreams.
