Unknown vessel, respond or we will open fire.
spk_0
Dominion ship, this is Captain Thomas Johnson of the Starship Enterprise.
spk_0
We were not aware that this was your territory.
spk_0
Please, if you would allow us to leave...
spk_0
Ignorance is no excuse.
spk_0
You are of an unknown sovereignty enterprise.
spk_0
We will find out why you are here and what threat you pose to the Founder's order.
spk_0
We are no threat. We are alone.
spk_0
Prepare to be boarded.
spk_0
They close the channel.
spk_0
What do we do, sir?
spk_0
Shuttles prepare for warp jump.
spk_0
We're two.
spk_0
Back, away from them.
spk_0
We can worry about the rest later.
spk_0
Get away or to warp shuttles.
spk_0
Prepare for emergency jump to the coordinates I'm sending you now.
spk_0
Sir, what are the alien ships moving towards us?
spk_0
Steady.
spk_0
Sir, the fire!
spk_0
And a prize. The Dominion are firing on the shuttles.
spk_0
They must have figured out what we're doing.
spk_0
Galileo, get out of here.
spk_0
Taking evasive action.
spk_0
I'll come back, and a prize. I...
spk_0
Oh no.
spk_0
Zerath.
spk_0
Zerath.
spk_0
I've been hit. Warp engines offline.
spk_0
Open the channel to the Dominion ships.
spk_0
You're wrong.
spk_0
Dominion ships, please.
spk_0
The shuttles are only following my orders.
spk_0
Break off your attack.
spk_0
We surrender.
spk_0
No one like that and I join my ancestors.
spk_0
Dominion Commander, please.
spk_0
Consider this an example of what happens when you defy us.
spk_0
No!
spk_0
Captain, it's...it's been an honor, sir.
spk_0
Please, doubt it.
spk_0
The shuttles have been destroyed.
spk_0
Ah!
spk_0
Intruder alert.
spk_0
They're on DEX 24-11, 8 and 2.
spk_0
Permission to lead a counter-attackser.
spk_0
Captain, I'm going whether you let me or not, sir.
spk_0
Permission granted, Commander Drake.
spk_0
Thank you. Commander.
spk_0
Captain.
spk_0
Sir?
spk_0
Thomas!
spk_0
We're dead.
spk_0
This is it.
spk_0
I get them all killed.
spk_0
I get us all killed.
spk_0
You did what you always do, sir.
spk_0
The right thing.
spk_0
But the cloak.
spk_0
You warned me.
spk_0
You all did.
spk_0
It doesn't matter.
spk_0
As a mentor of mine once told me,
spk_0
the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few,
spk_0
you are a hero, Thomas.
spk_0
Thanks, but...
spk_0
But nothing.
spk_0
Ah!
spk_0
The command center.
spk_0
Intruder's on the bridge!
spk_0
I wouldn't reach for that phaser if I were you, Captain Johnson.
spk_0
And you are?
spk_0
My name is irrelevant.
spk_0
I am a voter.
spk_0
These are my gem-hadar troops,
spk_0
and you are now property of the Dominion.
spk_0
Star Trek.
spk_0
Lost and deprized, Episode 6.
spk_0
The Final Frontier.
spk_0
Slowing to sublate speed.
spk_0
No ships and the AD.
spk_0
The defiant has a cloak.
spk_0
It's probably out there waiting for us.
spk_0
Full impulse to the wormhole, Helm.
spk_0
Daniels.
spk_0
Is it ready?
spk_0
At the touch of a button, Captain.
spk_0
Steady as she goes.
spk_0
Captain, a ship decalking ahead.
spk_0
It's the defiant.
spk_0
Yellow alert.
spk_0
They're healing.
spk_0
Good.
spk_0
We need to get him talking.
spk_0
On screen.
spk_0
Captain Drake.
spk_0
I told you I would be here.
spk_0
Now, stand down.
spk_0
And prepare to be escorted back to Deep Space 9.
spk_0
We will discuss your court martial later.
spk_0
If you're lucky, you will only lose your command.
spk_0
Does the crew there know who they are working for?
spk_0
A Starfleet Admiral who is acting on official orders from Starfleet Command.
spk_0
Here to escorted Rook, Captain,
spk_0
whose strange obsession with his grandfather has made him believe he has found the Enterprise B.
spk_0
Well, that ships out there.
spk_0
I have the logs.
spk_0
Whatever you think you have found, Captain.
spk_0
I assure you, it will be dealt with.
spk_0
I see.
spk_0
By Section 31, you mean.
spk_0
Captain.
spk_0
Really?
spk_0
Now you're believing in that conspiracy theory just because you disagree with my orders.
spk_0
Really, Captain.
spk_0
I suppose you also brought into the one about Wolf 359,
spk_0
being a conspiracy within Starfleet.
spk_0
That we were working with the ball all along.
spk_0
Admiral, I'm not going back to Deep Space 9.
spk_0
Yes, you are, Captain.
spk_0
And what will you do to stop us?
spk_0
Huh?
spk_0
Fire on us?
spk_0
For what?
spk_0
Disobeying your personal orders.
spk_0
Disobeying Starfleet!
spk_0
By staying around a bit longer for salvage operations.
spk_0
By not taking those results to your department.
spk_0
I think the men and women behind you need to ask themselves why you would go through all this trouble
spk_0
to stop Little Old Me reporting the findings of one lost starship.
spk_0
These men and women will follow my orders,
spk_0
because they respect the chain of command.
spk_0
They'll kill Starfleet officers, humans, and Dorians, beta-zoids, bejorins,
spk_0
all are more a part of this crew.
spk_0
Now, if they are willing to do that,
spk_0
and all of them are then willing to live with that, lie about that for the rest of their lives.
spk_0
Shut up!
spk_0
You are a criminal, Captain.
spk_0
You have stolen the Argo for your own personal needs,
spk_0
and I will do everything within my power to stop you, and bring you to justice.
spk_0
If these officers will not follow orders, I have others who will.
spk_0
In black uniforms, hey, shadow, I wonder if that's the name you used with them.
spk_0
Maybe you used another alias.
spk_0
Sloan, maybe.
spk_0
Hackett.
spk_0
Lower your shield and prepare to be boarded, Captain.
spk_0
That is an order.
spk_0
Make me.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
I said, make me, sir.
spk_0
Fire your quantum torpedoes and blow this science ship out of the stars.
spk_0
I will.
spk_0
Good.
spk_0
And the whole alpha quadrant can watch while you do it.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
Oh yes.
spk_0
I have friends on the other side of the wormhole.
spk_0
Friends who don't use DS9 as a hub.
spk_0
Friends who use one of their own relays and have been recording this whole conversation.
spk_0
Like you said, sir.
spk_0
I couldn't contact anyone in the Federation.
spk_0
Close the channel.
spk_0
I am at will.
spk_0
Now Daniels, evasive's home.
spk_0
We're cloaked.
spk_0
The device is somewhat stable.
spk_0
But now, we won't need it for long.
spk_0
Take us through the wormhole, Ensign.
spk_0
They followed us in.
spk_0
The cloak is feeling.
spk_0
I talked to Sir at the damn thing with Buggie 70 years ago.
spk_0
Take it offline.
spk_0
They can't catch up in time now.
spk_0
Our friends ready?
spk_0
They're standing by.
spk_0
The defiant is through.
spk_0
They've targeted right on us.
spk_0
Signal them to decloak.
spk_0
Two vulture class crews was ahead, so.
spk_0
Retargeting the defiant.
spk_0
The clingsons are asking for instructions.
spk_0
Have them stand by.
spk_0
Hail the defiant.
spk_0
Admiral, it would seem that you are outmatched.
spk_0
Our clingson friends were very upset when I told them that Section 31 stole their technology.
spk_0
I have offered to return it along with information about your cabaret.
spk_0
In return for some assistance.
spk_0
I'd stand down if I were you.
spk_0
Now who's about to fire on a starfish ship?
spk_0
Me, sir.
spk_0
We're just a deep space science ship.
spk_0
And I wouldn't dare.
spk_0
But the clingsons.
spk_0
They do have a temper.
spk_0
This isn't over, Captain.
spk_0
Whatever victory you think you have had here today is nothing.
spk_0
We are the Federation.
spk_0
You would just as soon cut off an arm.
spk_0
I can grow a new one.
spk_0
They're recoolking.
spk_0
Moving off.
spk_0
He's gone, sir.
spk_0
Let him run.
spk_0
Back into the shadows he loves so much while they still exist.
spk_0
Well played, sir.
spk_0
Thank you, Andrew.
spk_0
The clingsons are signaling.
spk_0
They want to know when they'll be getting their payment.
spk_0
Tell them to put into DS9.
spk_0
We will meet them there.
spk_0
And tell Captain Kira I want a meeting.
spk_0
I, sir.
spk_0
Bring us into dock.
spk_0
I'd almost forgotten.
spk_0
Computer.
spk_0
Access final log entries from the Enterprise B.
spk_0
Accessing.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Play.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Sorry.
spk_0
I was just thinking.
spk_0
I was wondering if you might want to listen to the last few entries together.
spk_0
Make it easier.
spk_0
Something like that.
spk_0
Pull up a chair.
spk_0
Ready?
spk_0
Are you?
spk_0
Computer.
spk_0
Play logs.
spk_0
Where are they?
spk_0
They have taken deck 12.
spk_0
They are pushing us back up here to 11.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Meet me in section 23.
spk_0
Yes, sir.
spk_0
Wait.
spk_0
There they are.
spk_0
Fire.
spk_0
Fire.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
Benson.
spk_0
Benson.
spk_0
Ah.
spk_0
I've got this audio to the night computer.
spk_0
Maybe someone will find this.
spk_0
If you do.
spk_0
Tell my wife and son I love them so much.
spk_0
All right, you ugly bastards.
spk_0
Let's do this.
spk_0
Oh!
spk_0
Oh!
spk_0
Why don't you just destroy this ship and be done with it?
spk_0
How little you understand us, Captain.
spk_0
Now, the first hair will steady his hand from both of you if you tell us what we want to know.
spk_0
How many of your federation ships are in our space?
spk_0
I told you.
spk_0
One.
spk_0
Impossible.
spk_0
How did you arrive here?
spk_0
A wormhole.
spk_0
How many times you piece of-
spk_0
Now, now.
spk_0
Our translators are having enough trouble with all this yelling.
spk_0
You really expect me to believe there is a stable wormhole mere light years away and we have never found it.
spk_0
Maybe you weren't looking in the right place.
spk_0
Show respect to your betters alien.
spk_0
The resistance has been put down.
spk_0
All of the ship's security are dead.
spk_0
Your shoulder, second.
spk_0
I killed the chief myself.
spk_0
Fascinating.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
You speak like a xenophobic race.
spk_0
Yet you are two different species.
spk_0
You that are gem-hadaar serve the vorta.
spk_0
You said it earlier as though it were natural.
spk_0
It is the order of things.
spk_0
The federation is dozens of species.
spk_0
Don't you see where a like?
spk_0
Our all races in your federation equal.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Then we are nothing alike.
spk_0
The founders created us to serve and preserve their order.
spk_0
What is your purpose?
spk_0
To explore.
spk_0
To find new races.
spk_0
Like yourselves.
spk_0
How curious.
spk_0
To do so invites those new contacts to become new enemies.
spk_0
You wander around the galaxy finding only trouble.
spk_0
It does happen.
spk_0
Then why do it?
spk_0
Because we can.
spk_0
Because we want to grow.
spk_0
And have you grown to the gamma quadrant?
spk_0
Not yet.
spk_0
But we will.
spk_0
I have no doubt.
spk_0
More of your kind will come.
spk_0
And when they do, they will find this ship.
spk_0
Our message to go back.
spk_0
And never return.
spk_0
What the hell was that?
spk_0
Your death.
spk_0
The rest of your crew will also be infected with it.
spk_0
Why not just shoot us?
spk_0
Because that would be merciful.
spk_0
Our message must be clear.
spk_0
It could be years before more of your kind come through.
spk_0
We don't want them to find an empty ship of bones and dust.
spk_0
We have sabotaged your power systems.
spk_0
Your life support systems will fail in a matter of days.
spk_0
Those of you who don't die from our pathogen will die in the cold of space.
spk_0
And when your people find you, you will be preserved.
spk_0
Monuments to our strength.
spk_0
And they say true evil doesn't exist.
spk_0
A strange creature you are, Captain.
spk_0
I would love to stay and chat more but the time has come for us to depart.
spk_0
Quick and well.
spk_0
Release him.
spk_0
Yes sir.
spk_0
I'll take that.
spk_0
Let's fall!
spk_0
You.
spk_0
You are a lousy shot, Captain.
spk_0
I will break your spine in two.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
That would be too easy a death for him.
spk_0
The cure.
spk_0
Where is it?
spk_0
Oh Captain, there is no cure.
spk_0
Why would we need one?
spk_0
You should have shot to yourself.
spk_0
It would have been more effective.
spk_0
I am a clone, Captain.
spk_0
Another me will take my place.
spk_0
There is only one of you.
spk_0
Take our dead.
spk_0
They were right sir.
spk_0
No cure.
spk_0
I have been up 48 hours looking at everything I can.
spk_0
Maybe if I had more time.
spk_0
We do not.
spk_0
Can you make the crew more comfortable?
spk_0
I think I can dull the pain which I must say I may need soon.
spk_0
From what I can tell the virus we have is usually used for long death.
spk_0
Make it last years but they sped it up.
spk_0
Now, well we can feel now.
spk_0
How long?
spk_0
Hours.
spk_0
I have already begun to show signs of the last stage.
spk_0
I you me.
spk_0
I know, Savif.
spk_0
It's fine really.
spk_0
I want to stay down here and work until the end.
spk_0
Maybe I'll find something at the last minute.
spk_0
That's how this usually goes right?
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I you me.
spk_0
I.
spk_0
No goodbyes.
spk_0
Just peace and long life.
spk_0
That's how it goes isn't it?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Live long and prosper, I you me.
spk_0
I will be in my quarters, Captain.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Doctor.
spk_0
I will keep trying sir.
spk_0
Right up until the end.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
I know I you me.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
I never did tell him I had a crush on him.
spk_0
Hey.
spk_0
I didn't think you'd mind if I didn't chime.
spk_0
Candles.
spk_0
Incense, the robe.
spk_0
You're meditating.
spk_0
Now?
spk_0
I am calming my thoughts and readying myself
spk_0
for the inevitable.
spk_0
You know.
spk_0
It's okay.
spk_0
I saw you.
spk_0
You lost it back there and that's okay.
spk_0
I doubt some act with mind on this occasion.
spk_0
Indeed.
spk_0
Savak.
spk_0
For once.
spk_0
Just for once.
spk_0
Can you just be normal?
spk_0
That remark is insulting.
spk_0
Let it go.
spk_0
Let it all go.
spk_0
Give into yourself.
spk_0
Show me the real you.
spk_0
The you you've spent your entire life hiding.
spk_0
Thomas, I.
spk_0
Don't know how.
spk_0
Just let go and follow my lead.
spk_0
See?
spk_0
Wasn't so bad.
spk_0
Was it?
spk_0
Savak.
spk_0
Savak.
spk_0
Savak.
spk_0
I.
spk_0
Rest.
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
I.
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
Computer.
spk_0
Status of recovered probe.
spk_0
Not a red damage.
spk_0
Wipe it.
spk_0
Storn's dead the mission logs including the one I'm about to record.
spk_0
Ever.
spk_0
Memory storage damage.
spk_0
79% chance of data decay.
spk_0
But a 21% chance something will still be on it when it's found.
spk_0
Affirmative.
spk_0
Alright.
spk_0
Ugh.
spk_0
The duplicate this log 100?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
200 times.
spk_0
More chance someone will get it.
spk_0
Transfer data.
spk_0
Transfer complete.
spk_0
Log recording standing by.
spk_0
Send the probe a moment I finished speaking.
spk_0
One more time.
spk_0
Record log.
spk_0
Captain's log start hate.
spk_0
I don't know what starting it is.
spk_0
I think I'm one of the last ones left.
spk_0
We are still on course back to the federation.
spk_0
Without our warp core.
spk_0
No one knows when.
spk_0
If someone will even hear this.
spk_0
Of all the ways I saw it ending.
spk_0
Sound myself dying in this uniform.
spk_0
This wasn't it.
spk_0
Infected by some random virus with no cure out here.
spk_0
Some unknown star.
spk_0
We should know what.
spk_0
It wouldn't change a thing.
spk_0
I think I'm dying.
spk_0
A year ago.
spk_0
I said that the captain of the Enterprise isn't what it used to be.
spk_0
Well, I would like to go on record saying.
spk_0
I couldn't ask for anything more.
spk_0
I have no doubt there will be another starship Enterprise.
spk_0
Maybe several.
spk_0
To the captain of those ships.
spk_0
I say good luck.
spk_0
Good luck in traveling those new worlds.
spk_0
Discovering those.
spk_0
No civilizations.
spk_0
They will have to work hard to beat this crew.
spk_0
They were the best.
spk_0
Savage.
spk_0
Drake.
spk_0
Seraph.
spk_0
A message to my wife if I could.
spk_0
Sorry sweetheart.
spk_0
Doesn't look like I've been coming home this year.
spk_0
Tell me your favorite maybe.
spk_0
Live.
spk_0
Be happy.
spk_0
Have the life.
spk_0
You deserve all that art.
spk_0
I can feel it.
spk_0
I feel it coming.
spk_0
I guess this is just the next adventure.
spk_0
The next frontier to explore.
spk_0
This is Captain Thomas Johnson.
spk_0
Captain of the Enterprise.
spk_0
Siding.
spk_0
Siding.
spk_0
Siding.
spk_0
Siding.
spk_0
How does he know in here?
spk_0
He says he knows what you did.
spk_0
That mean anything?
spk_0
Send him in.
spk_0
You bitch.
spk_0
No one knows I use this office but my staff.
spk_0
How did you find me?
spk_0
Missing three months ago.
spk_0
They were transferred to some unknown area by your orders and then they go missing.
spk_0
It's not called the unknown because it's safe, Sulu.
spk_0
Sometimes things happen.
spk_0
Ships are lost.
spk_0
Four hundred men and women are dead because of you.
spk_0
Where did you send them?
spk_0
For what reason?
spk_0
Did you kill them?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
Then who did?
spk_0
The Enterprise B went missing whilst charting unexplored space.
spk_0
We don't know what happened and are deeply saddened by their loss.
spk_0
Now, security, please escort Admiral Sulu from my office.
spk_0
He refuses to leave.
spk_0
I won't let this go, Hackett.
spk_0
You're very old, Admiral.
spk_0
I think it's time you joined your daughter in retirement.
spk_0
Somewhere nice.
spk_0
Reesa, maybe.
spk_0
I will arrange it.
spk_0
You will do no such thing.
spk_0
The commander in chief.
spk_0
What do I do as I tell him?
spk_0
Now.
spk_0
Enjoy retirement.
spk_0
I won't go.
spk_0
I won't stop until you answer for this.
spk_0
You hear me?
spk_0
You will answer for this.
spk_0
Computer.
spk_0
Playlist 4.
spk_0
Play.
spk_0
No way!
spk_0
Picard saved the Federation from the board twice, made hundreds of first contacts, fall in the Dominion War,
spk_0
and stop the cube for reasing us from history.
spk_0
All in a year's work for Jim Kirk.
spk_0
The vork wouldn't still be around if he were alive today.
spk_0
Oh, was that in-between sleeping with every woman he ever met?
spk_0
Ah, good old Quark Spa.
spk_0
I remember this place from my younger days. Mind if we join you.
spk_0
Be our guest.
spk_0
Andori and Aile, please.
spk_0
Same for me.
spk_0
What are you two talking about then?
spk_0
We were just debating who the best Enterprise Captain was.
spk_0
So far.
spk_0
After this, you could probably have the F-Sir.
spk_0
The Argos find for me, thanks.
spk_0
And who did you pick?

At Picard.

Ah, the easy picks.
spk_0
I always admired Pike myself.
spk_0
Captain?
spk_0
How can I not pick Johnson after all this?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Can I change my pick?
spk_0
So, you finished listening to the logs then?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
As hard as you thought.
spk_0
Yep.
spk_0
But it's nice to get closer.
spk_0
And Henry was there too.
spk_0
I see.
spk_0
Any idea what's next for you, sir?
spk_0
Going to go back and finish the mission.
spk_0
I know where to look for my grandfather now.
spk_0
Plus, we can have that service.
spk_0
I'm sure the descendants will all come.
spk_0
Did you tell Johnson's family about the affair?
spk_0
Not my place.
spk_0
All of this will be public knowledge soon enough.
spk_0
If they want to find out, they can.
spk_0
Anyway.
spk_0
I have an opening for a senior staff.
spk_0
Unless you were all put off by that last outing.
spk_0
Hey, try and start.
spk_0
Kept me in.
spk_0
I haven't got anything better to do.
spk_0
All right then.
spk_0
To the Enterprise B.
spk_0
And all the souls who gave their lives aboard her.
spk_0
Here, here.
spk_0
Right then.
spk_0
Who's for Darbo?
spk_0
Captain Drake.
spk_0
That holoprogram is ready when you are.
spk_0
Hollow-sweet program?
spk_0
Captain.
spk_0
It's not that kind of program, Mr. Styles.
spk_0
But it's something I need to go try out.
spk_0
Excuse me.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
Computer.
spk_0
Begin program.
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
It's perfect.
spk_0
Bigger than I thought.
spk_0
I'll take it since you're not here, Johnson.
spk_0
Just this once.
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
I wonder if the real one was this comfy.
spk_0
Ah.
spk_0
Perfect.
spk_0
Goodbye, grandfather.
spk_0
Goodbye, all.
spk_0
We are free and clear to navigate.
spk_0
Once more into the breach.
spk_0
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
spk_0
All systems ready, sir.
spk_0
Take us in, Ensign.
