You'll have to discuss it with me. 42 00:02:47,471 --> 00:02:49,797 That is what I had hoped to avoid. 43 00:02:52,143 --> 00:02:57,305 I also have the responsibility of being the bearer of unhappy news. 44 00:03:00,445 --> 00:03:01,856 Sarek? 45 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,240 Sarek is dead? 46 00:03:21,889 --> 00:03:23,798 Walk with me, Picard. 47 00:03:40,829 --> 00:03:43,155 I know of your mind-meld with my father 48 00:03:43,291 --> 00:03:46,376 which enabled him to complete his last mission. 49 00:03:46,503 --> 00:03:48,662 It was an honour. He's a great man. 50 00:03:48,797 --> 00:03:54,339 He was a great representative of the Vulcan people and of the Federation. 51 00:03:54,471 --> 00:03:57,045 I was with him before coming here. 52 00:03:57,183 --> 00:03:59,757 He expressed his pride in you. 53 00:03:59,895 --> 00:04:01,520 His love. 54 00:04:01,647 --> 00:04:03,604 Emotional disarray was a symptom 55 00:04:03,733 --> 00:04:06,141 of the illness from which he suffered. 56 00:04:06,278 --> 00:04:09,813 No. Those feelings came from his heart. 57 00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:12,986 He shared them with me. I know. 58 00:04:14,288 --> 00:04:18,832 Sarek would no more approve my coming here than you do, Picard. 59 00:04:19,711 --> 00:04:23,247 For some time, I've been aware of a growing movement here 60 00:04:23,382 --> 00:04:26,384 of people who seek the ideals of Vulcan philosophy. 61 00:04:26,511 --> 00:04:29,181 They've been declared enemies of the State. 62 00:04:29,306 --> 00:04:33,969 But a few in the Romulan hierarchy, like Pardek, are sympathetic. 63 00:04:34,104 --> 00:04:35,978 He asked me to come now, 64 00:04:36,107 --> 00:04:40,401 because he believes it is time for a first step toward reunification. 65 00:04:41,905 --> 00:04:44,943 Reunification? After so many centuries, 66 00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:48,778 after so many differences have evolved between your peoples? 67 00:04:48,914 --> 00:04:51,157 It would seem unlikely to succeed 68 00:04:51,292 --> 00:04:55,706 but I cannot ignore the rewards a union between our worlds would bring. 69 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,592 What is this first step Pardek suggests? 70 00:04:59,761 --> 00:05:03,261 There is a new proconsul in the Romulan Senate. 71 00:05:03,391 --> 00:05:07,639 He is young and idealistic. He has promised many reforms. 72 00:05:07,771 --> 00:05:11,852 Pardek believes he may be receptive to discussing reunification. 73 00:05:12,485 --> 00:05:16,947 Why not bring something so important to the attention of your own people? 74 00:05:17,074 --> 00:05:21,405 - Or the Federation? - A personal decision, Captain. 75 00:05:24,417 --> 00:05:29,413 You may be aware of the small role I played in peace with the Klingons. 76 00:05:29,548 --> 00:05:31,541 History is aware of your role. 77 00:05:31,676 --> 00:05:36,754 Not entirely. It was I who committed Capt Kirk to that peace mission 78 00:05:36,891 --> 00:05:41,139 and I bore responsibility for the consequences to him and his crew. 79 00:05:41,271 --> 00:05:45,733 Quite simply, I am unwilling to risk any life but my own on this occasion. 80 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:49,361 So I ask that you respect my wishes and leave. 81 00:05:49,907 --> 00:05:53,028 Your logic escapes me. If I didn't know better, 82 00:05:53,161 --> 00:05:56,911 I'd say that your judgement is influenced by your emotions. 83 00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:05,174 You speak as my father would if he were here, Picard. 84 00:06:05,301 --> 00:06:10,297 I speak as a Starfleet officer, and I cannot ignore the risks to you. 85 00:06:11,726 --> 00:06:15,559 I was involved with cowboy diplomacy, as you describe it, 86 00:06:15,689 --> 00:06:17,979 long before you were born. 87 00:06:19,402 --> 00:06:21,810 Nevertheless, I'm not prepared to leave 88 00:06:21,947 --> 00:06:24,189 until your affairs are complete. 89 00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,623 In your own way, you are as stubborn 90 00:06:29,748 --> 00:06:33,201 as another captain of the Enterprise I once knew. 91 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,079 Then I'm in good company, sir. 92 00:07:06,294 --> 00:07:09,296 Space, the final frontier. 93 00:07:10,925 --> 00:07:14,176 These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. 94 00:07:15,222 --> 00:07:19,221 Its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds... 95 00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:24,098 to seek out new life and new civilisations... 96 00:07:25,234 --> 00:07:28,984 to boldly go where no one has gone before. 97 00:08:28,188 --> 00:08:32,353 We have more important things to do than acting as your nursemaids! 98 00:08:32,986 --> 00:08:37,198 Capt Picard regrets detaining you, but it must be for a while longer. 99 00:08:37,325 --> 00:08:40,777 In addition, I require access to your ship's computer. 100 00:08:40,912 --> 00:08:44,116 Access to our computer? For what purpose? 101 00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:48,118 I am going to attempt to penetrate the Romulan information net. 102 00:08:50,841 --> 00:08:53,879 Don't bother. We've been trying for years. 103 00:08:54,012 --> 00:08:56,848 My unique skills may allow me to succeed. 104 00:08:56,974 --> 00:09:00,973 I cannot reveal Klingon entry codes to Starfleet! 105 00:09:01,104 --> 00:09:04,854 Your entry codes can easily be reconfigured after we depart. 106 00:09:04,984 --> 00:09:07,108 Capt Picard has authorised me 107 00:09:07,237 --> 00:09:10,737 to share any information we obtain from the data banks. 108 00:09:14,830 --> 00:09:16,289 Anything else? 109 00:09:17,041 --> 00:09:20,707 We will need to communicate with the Enterprise in Sector 213. 110 00:09:20,837 --> 00:09:24,005 If you do, the Romulans will know our coordinates. 111 00:09:24,133 --> 00:09:26,257 Using conventional means, true. 112 00:09:26,386 --> 00:09:30,515 I suggest we piggyback our signal on Romulan subspace transmission. 113 00:09:30,641 --> 00:09:32,515 Piggyback? 114 00:09:32,644 --> 00:09:36,179 A human metaphor, pardon me. We would use a Romulan signal 115 00:09:36,315 --> 00:09:39,649 as a carrier for our own, thus disguising its origin. 116 00:09:39,778 --> 00:09:40,893 It won't work! 117 00:09:41,029 --> 00:09:44,031 I believe it would. During the last hour, 118 00:09:44,158 --> 00:09:48,406 I have reviewed the entire Romulan subspace grid. 119 00:09:48,539 --> 00:09:53,000 I have compared my findings with your own transmission array. 120 00:09:53,128 --> 00:09:54,753 They appear compatible. 121 00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:00,587 Thank you for your cooperation. 122 00:10:32,927 --> 00:10:36,593 Allow me to brighten your table.

I... 130 00:11:03,674 --> 00:11:08,088 I have...

He took the evidence with him. 190 00:15:06,895 --> 00:15:11,558 His one endearing quality, he always cleaned up after himself. 191 00:15:11,692 --> 00:15:13,650 And what do you want from me? 192 00:15:13,778 --> 00:15:18,073 - Do you know his business partners? - And why should I help you? 193 00:15:18,868 --> 00:15:21,656 To be honest, I can't think of a good reason. 194 00:15:22,748 --> 00:15:28,254 Well, you did kill my ex-husband, and that's not a bad start. 195 00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:33,043 So why don't you drop a few coins in the jar and I'll see what I remember? 196 00:15:33,178 --> 00:15:37,342 - I don't carry money. - Well, you don't offer much, do you? 197 00:15:39,018 --> 00:15:40,596 Move over. 198 00:15:43,816 --> 00:15:46,390 Just what I need, another set of hands! 199 00:15:46,528 --> 00:15:50,360 Know this one? 20th century, Earth. 200 00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:52,567 Maybe I can teach you a lick or two. 201 00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:54,529 You already have. 202 00:16:03,132 --> 00:16:04,377 So what do you say? 203 00:16:07,095 --> 00:16:10,050 - You around for a couple of days? - I can be. 204 00:16:10,182 --> 00:16:14,892 Sooner or later a man named Omag will want a song. Always the same thing, 205 00:16:15,021 --> 00:16:20,266 Melor Famagal. He's an arms trader. A fat Ferengi. 206 00:16:30,207 --> 00:16:31,203 Enter. 207 00:16:33,086 --> 00:16:34,201 Proconsul? 208 00:16:35,505 --> 00:16:37,914 Yes. Pardek, come in! 209 00:16:50,983 --> 00:16:53,605 Ambassador Spock of Vulcan. 210 00:16:53,737 --> 00:16:56,904 - Proconsul. - Please. I've never liked titles, 211 00:16:57,032 --> 00:17:01,078 ever since I was a lowly Uhlan in the Romulan Guard. I'm Neral. 212 00:17:01,204 --> 00:17:04,989 Well, how is it again? Pardek's tried to show me. 213 00:17:05,918 --> 00:17:07,746 I am honoured. 214 00:17:07,879 --> 00:17:09,837 - Good. - Permit me to withdraw. 215 00:17:09,965 --> 00:17:12,671 Will you and your wife be at the State dinner? 216 00:17:12,802 --> 00:17:14,842 We're looking forward to it. 217 00:17:19,352 --> 00:17:23,600 It's years since old Pardek has been invited to an official function. 218 00:17:23,732 --> 00:17:27,185 He's too attached to the common man for most people. 219 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,197 That is their loss. I find Pardek has unique insight into many issues. 220 00:17:34,371 --> 00:17:38,120 Let me tell you, Spock, we're going to start something here, 221 00:17:38,250 --> 00:17:41,169 that will redraw the face of the quadrant. 222 00:17:42,089 --> 00:17:44,794 Are you prepared to support reunification? 223 00:17:44,925 --> 00:17:49,505 I believe it must eventually come. Our two worlds need each other. 224 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:54,219 Forgive me, I... 225 00:17:54,354 --> 00:17:57,391 I did not expect to hear a Romulan proconsul 226 00:17:57,525 --> 00:18:00,562 speak like a member of your underground. 227 00:18:00,695 --> 00:18:04,824 Well... I want you to know exactly where I stand. 228 00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:09,866 Do you believe you can gain the support of your full Senate? 229 00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:12,914 Things are not as they were in the Senate. 230 00:18:13,044 --> 00:18:16,378 The old leaders have lost the respect of the people. 231 00:18:16,507 --> 00:18:21,585 Involvement in the Klingon war, confrontations with the Federation, 232 00:18:21,721 --> 00:18:25,056 they're tired of it. Times are changing. 233 00:18:25,184 --> 00:18:30,476 Leaders who refuse to change with them will no longer be leaders. 234 00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:44,538 Spock... I am prepared to publicly endorse talks between our peoples. 235 00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:46,707 What will Vulcans think of that? 236 00:18:48,046 --> 00:18:52,674 They'll be cautious. There are generations of distrust to overcome. 237 00:18:52,802 --> 00:18:56,421 But with a man of your influence leading the way... 238 00:18:56,557 --> 00:18:59,973 The Senate has been recalled into session. 239 00:19:00,103 --> 00:19:02,060 Very well. 240 00:19:02,773 --> 00:19:05,347 - Can we meet again tomorrow? - As you wish. 241 00:19:05,484 --> 00:19:08,190 Good. Jolan true, Spock. 242 00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:15,863 Live long and prosper. 243 00:19:34,062 --> 00:19:37,930 - It's everything we could hope for. - More than we could hope for. 244 00:19:38,067 --> 00:19:41,069 If Neral endorses reunification... 245 00:19:41,196 --> 00:19:46,073 He could not become proconsul without support from the traditionalists. 246 00:19:46,202 --> 00:19:47,317 True, but... 247 00:19:47,454 --> 00:19:52,330 Then how can he endorse reunification when it's considered subversive? 248 00:19:52,460 --> 00:19:55,912 Because he's not afraid. He knows we'll support him. 249 00:19:56,048 --> 00:19:57,756 Capt Picard is correct. 250 00:19:57,883 --> 00:20:01,929 It is not logical for the Proconsul to support reunification now. 251 00:20:02,055 --> 00:20:03,799 Why would Neral lie? 252 00:20:03,932 --> 00:20:06,424 To expose members of your movement. 253 00:20:06,561 --> 00:20:10,429 No. This is our chance for acceptance. Finally to be heard. 254 00:20:10,566 --> 00:20:13,983 I believe it's the Federation that fears an alliance. 255 00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:15,275 That is not true! 256 00:20:15,405 --> 00:20:19,190 I came here to determine the potential for reunification. 257 00:20:19,327 --> 00:20:22,447 Despite what has occurred, I intend to continue. 258 00:20:22,581 --> 00:20:25,998 I intend to meet with the Proconsul as planned. 259 00:20:36,348 --> 00:20:40,928 - You let their emotion sway you. - No. It is the most logical course. 260 00:20:41,062 --> 00:20:44,562 You're as sceptical as I am. Is it logic to ignore good sense? 261 00:20:44,692 --> 00:20:48,311 I fear the influence of Sarek has coloured your attitudes 262 00:20:48,446 --> 00:20:50,938 toward reunification and perhaps to me. 263 00:20:51,075 --> 00:20:54,990 That's the second time you've said I speak with another man's voice. 264 00:20:55,121 --> 00:20:58,076 It's true, he will always be a part of me. 265 00:20:59,001 --> 00:21:02,585 His experience, his spirit. 266 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:06,373 But I speak with my own voice, not his. 267 00:21:07,637 --> 00:21:12,846 Curious... that I should hear him so clearly, now that he is dead. 268 00:21:14,854 --> 00:21:19,933 I may have brought my argument with Sarek to you. If so, I apologise. 269 00:21:20,069 --> 00:21:22,857 Is it so important you win one last argument? 270 00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:26,075 No. But it is true that I will miss the arguments. 271 00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:29,951 They were, finally, all that we had. 272 00:21:30,082 --> 00:21:33,083 But your fight with Sarek is over, Spock. 273 00:21:33,211 --> 00:21:35,963 You have none with me. 274 00:21:36,089 --> 00:21:39,958 I always had a different vision than my father. 275 00:21:40,094 --> 00:21:44,342 The ability to see beyond pure logic. He considered it weak. 276 00:21:44,475 --> 00:21:48,520 But I have discovered it to be a source of extraordinary strength. 277 00:21:48,647 --> 00:21:52,895 Sarek would have seen this mission of reunification 278 00:21:53,027 --> 00:21:56,729 as a fool's errand. Somehow I think it is not. 279 00:21:56,865 --> 00:22:00,650 Logic cannot explain why, but I know I must pursue this. 280 00:22:00,787 --> 00:22:02,946 Even if it leads to a Romulan trap? 281 00:22:04,083 --> 00:22:06,918 If the Romulans do have an ulterior motive, 282 00:22:07,045 --> 00:22:10,995 it is in the best interests of all that we determine what it is. 283 00:22:11,133 --> 00:22:15,547 So, I will play the role that they would have me play. 284 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:33,867 Any success, Mr Data? 285 00:22:33,995 --> 00:22:38,658 Negative, Captain. The Romulans use a progressive encryption lock. 286 00:22:38,793 --> 00:22:41,581 I am unable to penetrate their security. 287 00:22:41,713 --> 00:22:45,759 May I assist you, Commander? I have experience in these matters. 288 00:22:45,885 --> 00:22:48,127 By all means, Ambassador. 289 00:22:49,973 --> 00:22:54,933 They have incorporated a 43-part cipher key in their entry sequence. 290 00:22:55,063 --> 00:22:59,192 Yes, sir. The 29th is the only one I cannot bypass. 291 00:23:02,155 --> 00:23:06,284 I think I'll take this opportunity to remove my ears. 292 00:23:10,499 --> 00:23:13,916 He intrigues me, this Picard. 293 00:23:14,671 --> 00:23:16,415 In what manner, sir? 294 00:23:16,548 --> 00:23:19,883 Remarkably analytical and dispassionate. 295 00:23:20,011 --> 00:23:26,015 For a human. I understand why my father chose to mind-meld with him. 296 00:23:26,143 --> 00:23:29,560 There's an almost Vulcan quality to the man. 297 00:23:29,690 --> 00:23:32,312 Interesting. I had not considered that. 298 00:23:33,194 --> 00:23:36,646 And he has been a role model in my quest to be more human. 299 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,232 More human? 300 00:23:40,244 --> 00:23:41,869 Yes, Ambassador. 301 00:23:41,997 --> 00:23:46,042 Fascinating.

It's probably routine. 378 00:29:38,901 --> 00:29:41,227 This does not appear to be routine. 379 00:29:41,362 --> 00:29:44,150 I traced the source of the transmission. 380 00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:47,949 It incorporates the code prefix of Romulan intelligence. 381 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:50,119 Can you access it? 382 00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:57,540 It is a short sequence of numbers.

His conversations have been part of a greater plan 399 00:31:09,055 --> 00:31:11,262 involving the stolen Vulcan ship. 400 00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:12,969 How do you know? 401 00:31:13,102 --> 00:31:17,849 The time the Proconsul set for announcing our peace initiative 402 00:31:17,983 --> 00:31:21,685 is 1400 hours tomorrow. One, four, zero, zero. 403 00:31:21,821 --> 00:31:24,110 Why would they need a Vulcan ship? 404 00:31:24,241 --> 00:31:27,527 That will become clear very shortly. 405 00:31:30,707 --> 00:31:33,911 Capt Picard.

Your dream of reunification is not dead. 421 00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:37,868 But it will take a different form.

I've tried to make it sound Vulcan. 438 00:34:09,197 --> 00:34:11,486 A lot of unnecessarily long words. 439 00:34:11,617 --> 00:34:15,450 In a few hours, you will deliver this statement with our proconsul. 440 00:34:15,580 --> 00:34:19,875 It will announce that a peace envoy is on its way from Romulus. 441 00:34:20,002 --> 00:34:23,454 We will transmit it on all Federation frequencies. 442 00:34:23,590 --> 00:34:26,164 Peace envoy.

It has forced us to make changes. 446 00:34:36,982 --> 00:34:41,063 One of them, a message from you ordering them to stay where they are. 447 00:34:41,195 --> 00:34:45,609 If Vulcan ships enter the Neutral Zone, the Enterprise will intercept. 448 00:34:45,743 --> 00:34:49,112 The Enterprise will be given more important matters. 449 00:34:49,247 --> 00:34:53,460 Meanwhile, Spock will tell his people to welcome the peace envoy. 450 00:34:53,586 --> 00:34:58,165 When they do, our forces will seize control before anyone realises. 451 00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:02,630 Do you seriously believe the Federation will not intervene? 452 00:35:02,764 --> 00:35:05,600 Of course it will, and we're fully prepared. 453 00:35:05,726 --> 00:35:07,968 But we will be there, entrenched. 454 00:35:08,104 --> 00:35:11,556 And it will be very difficult to get us out once we are. 455 00:35:11,692 --> 00:35:14,397 Reunification will become a fact of life. 456 00:35:14,529 --> 00:35:18,397 I will not read this, or any other statement. 457 00:35:18,534 --> 00:35:21,903 If you do not, you will die, all of you. 458 00:35:22,998 --> 00:35:26,866 Since it is logical to conclude you will kill us in any event, 459 00:35:27,003 --> 00:35:29,209 I choose not to cooperate. 460 00:35:30,549 --> 00:35:34,962 I hate Vulcans.

They're only moving at warp one. 486 00:37:21,521 --> 00:37:24,890 Worf, signal them on subspace.
