00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:42,000 Our intentions have not changed, Endar. 1096 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,667 Our intentions have not changed, Endar. 1097 00:41:43,734 --> 00:41:45,669 We're returning him to Starfleet. 1098 00:41:45,736 --> 00:41:48,000 I regret your stubbornness. 1099 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,007 I regret your stubbornness. 1100 00:41:50,074 --> 00:41:52,109 Much will be lost. 1101 00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:53,110 ( door opens ) 1102 00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:54,000 PICARD: One moment, Captain. 1103 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,212 PICARD: One moment, Captain. 1104 00:42:02,086 --> 00:42:04,521 Captain Endar... 1105 00:42:08,092 --> 00:42:10,127 last night, Jono... 1106 00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:12,000 attacked me with a dagger. 1107 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,063 attacked me with a dagger. 1108 00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:15,032 Which he could not have done 1109 00:42:15,099 --> 00:42:17,167 had he been returned to me with the others. 1110 00:42:17,234 --> 00:42:18,000 There was a crime committed onboard this ship 1111 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,904 There was a crime committed onboard this ship 1112 00:42:19,970 --> 00:42:22,072 but it was not Jono's, it was mine. 1113 00:42:23,274 --> 00:42:24,000 When we found Jono 1114 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,675 When we found Jono 1115 00:42:24,742 --> 00:42:27,711 it seemed so clear what had to be done. 1116 00:42:27,778 --> 00:42:30,000 We knew that if we could only persuade him 1117 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:30,714 We knew that if we could only persuade him 1118 00:42:30,781 --> 00:42:33,050 to make the decision to stay 1119 00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:35,853 then you would most likely let him. 1120 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,000 So with the best of intentions 1121 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,821 So with the best of intentions 1122 00:42:37,888 --> 00:42:39,223 we tried to convince him 1123 00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:42,000 and in so doing... 1124 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:42,826 and in so doing... 1125 00:42:42,893 --> 00:42:46,664 we thoroughly failed to listen to his feelings 1126 00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:48,000 to his needs. 1127 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:48,866 to his needs. 1128 00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:51,201 That was the crime 1129 00:42:51,268 --> 00:42:54,000 and it has taken a huge toll 1130 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,205 and it has taken a huge toll 1131 00:42:55,272 --> 00:43:00,000 on a strong and a very... noble young man. 1132 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,345 on a strong and a very... noble young man. 1133 00:43:01,412 --> 00:43:03,180 And it must be rectified. 1134 00:43:03,247 --> 00:43:05,249 He will return home 1135 00:43:05,316 --> 00:43:06,000 to the only home he's ever known 1136 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,985 to the only home he's ever known 1137 00:43:08,052 --> 00:43:11,922 and to the father that he loves. 1138 00:43:11,989 --> 00:43:12,000 To you, Endar. 1139 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,290 To you, Endar. 1140 00:43:18,162 --> 00:43:20,364 Thank you, Captain. 1141 00:43:20,431
