00:00:02,836 --> 00:00:06,000
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44995.3.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:06,306
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44995.3.

3
00:00:06,373 --> 00:00:08,341
We are en route
to the Klingon Homeworld

4
00:00:08,408 --> 00:00:10,744
where I will participate
in the installation ceremony

5
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:12,000
of Gowron, the next designated
leader of the High Council.

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,747
of Gowron, the next designated
leader of the High Council.

7
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:16,349
This visit should also provide
an opportunity

8
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,000
for one of my officers
to correct a grave injustice.

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,120
for one of my officers
to correct a grave injustice.

10
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:21,588
( grunting )

11
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:25,759
( door chimes )

12
00:00:25,825 --> 00:00:27,327
Enter.

13
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:30,000
Am I intruding?

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,296
Am I intruding?

15
00:00:30,363 --> 00:00:31,731
No, sir.

16
00:00:31,798 --> 00:00:33,500
My apologies, Captain.
I can be back in uniform...

17
00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:35,568
No, that won't be
necessary, Mr. Worf.

18
00:00:35,635 --> 00:00:36,000
I'm not here
as your Captain.

19
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,404
I'm not here
as your Captain.

20
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:41,808
I'm here as the man
who stood with you

21
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:42,000
before the High Council.

22
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,376
before the High Council.

23
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:46,179
Your cha'DIch.

24
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:48,000
We will arrive at your
homeworld in less than a day.

25
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,649
We will arrive at your
homeworld in less than a day.

26
00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:54,000
It is not time yet.

27
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,587
It is not time yet.

28
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:58,291
That doesn't sound like the man
who came to me a year ago

29
00:00:58,358 --> 00:01:00,000
fiercely determined
to return home

30
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,293
fiercely determined
to return home

31
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,129
to clear his father's name
or die trying.

32
00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:04,731
Isn't it time

33
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:06,000
to confront the Council

34
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,699
to confront the Council

35
00:01:06,766 --> 00:01:08,835
to regain your family name

36
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,804
let the truth be known?

37
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,408
I have been told

38
00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:17,544
that patience

39
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:18,000
is sometimes a more effective
weapon than the sword.

40
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,314
is sometimes a more effective
weapon than the sword.

41
00:01:23,149 --> 00:01:24,000
Patience is a human virtue--

42
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,418
Patience is a human virtue--

43
00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:28,822
one that I am glad to see
you've taken to heart.

44
00:01:28,888 --> 00:01:30,000
But doesn't this situation
require a more...

45
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,192
But doesn't this situation
require a more...

46
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:34,227
Klingon response?

47
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:36,000
Your discommendation

48
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,330
Your discommendation

49
00:01:37,397 --> 00:01:41,334
is a facade to protect
less honorable men.

50
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:42,000
It is a lie.

51
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,836
It is a lie.

52
00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:45,371
Lies must be challenged.

53
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:48,000
I have grown weary

54
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,509
I have grown weary

55
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:52,145
of bearing this dishonor.

56
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:53,646
RIKER:
Riker to Picard.

57
00:01:53,713 --> 00:01:54,000
Go ahead, Number One.

58
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,482
Go ahead, Number One.

59
00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:58,685
We've been intercepted
by the Klingon vessel Bortas.

60
00:01:58,751 --> 00:02:00,000
They claim to be our escort.

61
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,421
They claim to be our escort.

62
00:02:01,488 --> 00:02:03,723
No escort was scheduled.

63
00:02:10,663 --> 00:02:12,000
The Bortas
is standing by, sir.

64
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,399
The Bortas
is standing by, sir.

65
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:14,767
On screen.

66
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:16,302
Gowron!

67
00:02:16,369 --> 00:02:18,000
This is
an unexpected pleasure.

68
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,438
This is
an unexpected pleasure.

69
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:19,639
I must speak with you, Picard.

70
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:23,176
We will have to move quickly
if we are to be successful.

71
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:24,000
Successful?

72
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,410
Successful?

73
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:25,612
Yes.

74
00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:30,000
In preventing
a Klingon civil war.

75
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,517
In preventing
a Klingon civil war.

76
00:03:03,983 --> 00:03:06,000
Space, the final frontier.

77
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,555
Space, the final frontier.

78
00:03:08,621 --> 00:03:12,000
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

79
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,425
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

80
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:14,427
Its continuing mission--

81
00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:18,000
to explore
strange new worlds

82
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,398
to explore
strange new worlds

83
00:03:18,464 --> 00:03:22,669
to seek out new life
and new civilizations

84
00:03:22,735 --> 00:03:24,000
to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

85
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,373
to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

88
00:04:24,697 --> 00:04:28,534
The family of Duras
is massing support.

89
00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:30,000
They have many allies
on the Council.

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,837
They have many allies
on the Council.

91
00:04:30,903 --> 00:04:32,805
Duras died in disgrace.

92
00:04:32,872 --> 00:04:33,940
By Klingon tradition

93
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:36,000
his family should share
that disgrace.

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,275
his family should share
that disgrace.

95
00:04:36,342 --> 00:04:38,778
Their corruption has
poisoned the Empire.

96
00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:42,000
Honor will soon have no meaning.

97
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,715
Honor will soon have no meaning.

98
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:45,351
And who speaks
for his family now?

99
00:04:45,418 --> 00:04:48,000
Lursa and B'Etor,
the sisters of Duras.

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,589
Lursa and B'Etor,
the sisters of Duras.

101
00:04:49,656 --> 00:04:52,525
And they would claim
the leadership of the Council?

102
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:54,000
Women may not serve
on the Council.

103
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,627
Women may not serve
on the Council.

104
00:04:55,695 --> 00:04:57,030
Then how...?

105
00:04:57,096 --> 00:04:58,464
I don't know.

106
00:04:58,531 --> 00:05:00,000
But they are
plotting something.

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,400
But they are
plotting something.

108
00:05:01,734 --> 00:05:03,770
They have secured
the loyalty

109
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:06,000
of at least three
fleet commanders.

110
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,506
of at least three
fleet commanders.

111
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:09,409
Lursa and B'Etor
are feared

112
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:11,978
and fear is power.

113
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:15,415
I do not see
what I can do to assist.

114
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:18,000
You were first chosen
as Arbiter of Succession

115
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,551
You were first chosen
as Arbiter of Succession

116
00:05:18,618 --> 00:05:22,855
because no Klingon
could be trusted.

117
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,828
You accepted this duty

118
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,000
and you must see it
through to the end.

119
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,498
and you must see it
through to the end.

120
00:05:32,565 --> 00:05:35,702
You must ensure
my installation.

121
00:05:35,768 --> 00:05:36,000
That is beyond my purview.

122
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,970
That is beyond my purview.

123
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:42,000
You will not support me?

124
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,709
You will not support me?

125
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:44,577
I will not step outside

126
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:48,000
the traditional role
of the Arbiter.

127
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,448
the traditional role
of the Arbiter.

128
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:50,983
And if they attempt to block
my installation?

129
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:54,000
Then I can only assure you

130
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,954
Then I can only assure you

131
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:57,990
that I will deal
with any challenge

132
00:05:58,057 --> 00:06:00,000
according to Klingon law.

133
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,126
according to Klingon law.

134
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:02,695
I fear

135
00:06:02,762 --> 00:06:05,832
that will not be enough.

136
00:06:07,934 --> 00:06:10,369
Mr. Worf, would you
escort our guest

137
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:12,000
to the transporter room?

138
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,138
to the transporter room?

139
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:26,853
Begin monitoring
Romulan activity

140
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:28,921
along the Neutral
Zone, Mr. Data.

141
00:06:28,988 --> 00:06:30,000
Have the outpost stations

142
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,556
Have the outpost stations

143
00:06:30,623 --> 00:06:31,958
send us
their tactical reports.

144
00:06:32,024 --> 00:06:32,959
Aye, sir.

145
00:06:33,025 --> 00:06:34,727
The Duras family

146
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:36,000
are preparing
to move against Gowron.

147
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,396
are preparing
to move against Gowron.

148
00:06:37,463 --> 00:06:38,698
Backed by Romulans?

149
00:06:38,765 --> 00:06:39,699
I don't know.

150
00:06:39,766 --> 00:06:41,701
But there is too much history

151
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:42,000
between the Duras
and the Romulans

152
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,803
between the Duras
and the Romulans

153
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:45,738
to discount the possibility.

154
00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:57,717
Dismissed.

155
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:05,658
I would speak with you.

156
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:06,000
I do not hear the words
of traitors.

157
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,828
I do not hear the words
of traitors.

158
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:16,769
I am not a traitor.

159
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:18,000
You admitted your guilt
before the Council.

160
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,672
You admitted your guilt
before the Council.

161
00:07:19,739 --> 00:07:23,543
I accepted discommendation
to protect the Empire.

162
00:07:23,609 --> 00:07:24,000
Protect it?

163
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,545
Protect it?

164
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:27,647
How?

165
00:07:27,713 --> 00:07:30,000
It was Duras' father
who betrayed our people

166
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,518
It was Duras' father
who betrayed our people

167
00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:35,721
to the Romulans at Khitomer,
not mine.

168
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:36,000
Duras?

169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,857
Duras?

170
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:46,065
There is proof of this?

171
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,000
There is.

172
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,668
There is.

173
00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:52,605
Why would you accept
dishonor to protect Duras?

174
00:07:52,672 --> 00:07:54,000
His family

175
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,607
His family

176
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:57,643
was too powerful.

177
00:07:57,710 --> 00:08:00,000
To expose him
would have split the Empire.

178
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,047
To expose him
would have split the Empire.

179
00:08:01,113 --> 00:08:04,550
Instead, the Council chose
to blame my father.

180
00:08:04,617 --> 00:08:06,000
The Council knew?

181
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,552
The Council knew?

182
00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:18,000
I believe you to be
a man of honor, Gowron.

183
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,868
I believe you to be
a man of honor, Gowron.

184
00:08:26,105 --> 00:08:27,974
I ask you.

185
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,000
Restore my family name.

186
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,176
Restore my family name.

187
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:33,846
Worf...

188
00:08:36,582 --> 00:08:39,585
you killed Duras.

189
00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:42,000
I consider that
no small favor

190
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,154
I consider that
no small favor

191
00:08:42,221 --> 00:08:46,192
but what you ask is impossible.

192
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:47,894
But after
your installation...

193
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:48,000
The grasp of Duras

194
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,995
The grasp of Duras

195
00:08:49,061 --> 00:08:52,632
reaches out from the grave.

196
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:54,000
Much of the Council
is still loyal to his family.

197
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,703
Much of the Council
is still loyal to his family.

198
00:08:59,071 --> 00:09:00,000
I must have the Council's
support to survive.

199
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,578
I must have the Council's
support to survive.

200
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:06,000
I cannot expose
their treachery.

201
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,115
I cannot expose
their treachery.

202
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:12,000
You chose to accept
this disgrace

203
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,720
You chose to accept
this disgrace

204
00:09:14,787 --> 00:09:17,056
for the good of the Empire.

205
00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:18,000
Now you must live
with your decision

206
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,826
Now you must live
with your decision

207
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:23,029
like a Klingon.

208
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:34,807
( phaser firing )

209
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:36,000
( door opening )

210
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,776
( door opening )

211
00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:44,884
Guinan?

212
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:46,986
It was a little quiet
down at Ten-Forward

213
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:48,000
so I thought I'd get off
a little target practice.

214
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,655
so I thought I'd get off
a little target practice.

215
00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:51,023
Do you mind
if I join you?

216
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:53,192
You? Practice?

217
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:54,000
I like to keep my eye sharp.

218
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,027
I like to keep my eye sharp.

219
00:09:56,696 --> 00:09:58,597
I practice at level 14.

220
00:09:58,664 --> 00:09:59,865
Hmm.

221
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:00,000
Guess I could come down
to that level

222
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,634
Guess I could come down
to that level

223
00:10:01,701 --> 00:10:02,969
for a while.

224
00:10:03,035 --> 00:10:05,705
Begin program.

225
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:11,777
You know, I had a
bet with the Captain

226
00:10:11,844 --> 00:10:12,000
that I could
make you laugh

227
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,979
that I could
make you laugh

228
00:10:13,045 --> 00:10:15,081
before you became
Lieutenant Commander.

229
00:10:17,817 --> 00:10:18,000
Not a good bet today.

230
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,752
Not a good bet today.

231
00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:22,955
I've seen you laugh.

232
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:24,000
I like it.

233
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,256
I like it.

234
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:28,961
Klingons do not laugh.

235
00:10:29,028 --> 00:10:29,996
( warbling beep )

236
00:10:30,062 --> 00:10:31,063
( groans )

237
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,631
Oh, yes, they do.

238
00:10:32,698 --> 00:10:33,799
Absolutely, they do.

239
00:10:33,866 --> 00:10:36,000
You don't, but I've heard
Klingon belly laughs

240
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,702
You don't, but I've heard
Klingon belly laughs

241
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:38,070
that would curl your hair.

242
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:42,000
( warbling beep )

243
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,742
( warbling beep )

244
00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:43,743
( disgusted grunt )

245
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:45,978
Your son laughs;
he's Klingon.

246
00:10:46,045 --> 00:10:48,000
He is a child
and part human.

247
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,381
He is a child
and part human.

248
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:49,849
That's right

249
00:10:49,915 --> 00:10:51,117
and you're not.

250
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:54,000
You're a full Klingon,
except you don't laugh.

251
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:54,153
You're a full Klingon,
except you don't laugh.

252
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:57,223
I do not laugh because I
do not feel like laughing.

253
00:10:57,289 --> 00:10:59,358
Other Klingons feel
like laughing.

254
00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:00,000
What does that say about you?

255
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,660
What does that say about you?

256
00:11:01,727 --> 00:11:04,997
Perhaps it says that I do not
feel like other Klingons.

257
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:08,034
( warbling beep )

258
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:09,902
COMPUTER:
Program complete.

259
00:11:09,969 --> 00:11:11,971
Good game.

260
00:11:12,038 --> 00:11:12,905
Don't feel bad.

261
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:15,374
I was doing this
long before you were born.

262
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:18,000
So, how is he?

263
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:18,177
So, how is he?

264
00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:20,146
Your son.

265
00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:22,982
He is having difficulty

266
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:24,000
adjusting to life on Earth.

267
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,284
adjusting to life on Earth.

268
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:28,988
Oh. I can see where it might
be hard for the little guy.

269
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:30,000
Living with humans,
being Klingon--

270
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,223
Living with humans,
being Klingon--

271
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:32,758
could be very confusing.

272
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:35,127
It will not be easy
for him.

273
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:36,000
No, it won't

274
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,128
No, it won't

275
00:11:36,195 --> 00:11:39,331
but at some point,
he's going to want to know

276
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:41,467
what it's like
to really be a Klingon.

277
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:42,000
Just as you're learning now.

278
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,302
Just as you're learning now.

279
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:59,185
( door chimes )

280
00:11:59,251 --> 00:12:00,000
Come.

281
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,419
Come.

282
00:12:05,357 --> 00:12:06,000
Captain, I request
a leave of absence.

283
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,394
Captain, I request
a leave of absence.

284
00:12:11,497 --> 00:12:12,000
Mr. Worf, request granted.

285
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,100
Mr. Worf, request granted.

286
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:16,469
Thank you, sir.

287
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:20,072
Lieutenant.

288
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:24,000
Qapla'!

289
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,110
Qapla'!

290
00:12:30,983 --> 00:12:32,485
And good luck.

291
00:12:37,189 --> 00:12:42,000
Lieutenant Worf, Personal Log,
Stardate 44996.1.

292
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:42,061
Lieutenant Worf, Personal Log,
Stardate 44996.1.

293
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:44,296
I have located the Klingon ship

294
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:46,432
on which my brother, Kurn,
serves as Captain

295
00:12:46,499 --> 00:12:48,000
and have arranged to meet him.

296
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:48,467
and have arranged to meet him.

297
00:13:02,581 --> 00:13:06,000
It has been too
long, my brother.

298
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,485
It has been too
long, my brother.

299
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:08,287
Too long.

300
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:10,322
And we have much
to discuss.

301
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:12,000
I have asked Gowron
to restore our family honor.

302
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,359
I have asked Gowron
to restore our family honor.

303
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:14,360
He has refused.

304
00:13:14,426 --> 00:13:15,461
Gowron will
not live

305
00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:18,000
to see the day he leads
the Council.

306
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,230
to see the day he leads
the Council.

307
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:20,499
What do you mean?

308
00:13:20,566 --> 00:13:23,869
He stands alone,
surrounded by his enemies.

309
00:13:23,936 --> 00:13:24,000
Lursa and B'Etor
would have him killed

310
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,039
Lursa and B'Etor
would have him killed

311
00:13:27,106 --> 00:13:29,308
and if they don't, I will.

312
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:30,000
You will?

313
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,376
You will?

314
00:13:30,442 --> 00:13:32,811
Gowron is weak.

315
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:33,779
The family of Duras

316
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:36,000
must never be allowed
to rule the Council.

317
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,049
must never be allowed
to rule the Council.

318
00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:39,485
Our leaders have failed us.

319
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:42,000
They no longer deserve
our loyalty.

320
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,821
They no longer deserve
our loyalty.

321
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:47,826
It is time

322
00:13:47,893 --> 00:13:48,000
to sweep away the old Council

323
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,429
to sweep away the old Council

324
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:54,000
and put a new one in its place.

325
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,033
and put a new one in its place.

326
00:13:56,635 --> 00:13:58,938
How can this be done?

327
00:14:00,906 --> 00:14:03,842
I already have the support
of four squadron commanders

328
00:14:03,909 --> 00:14:05,611
in key strategic sectors.

329
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:06,000
When the time comes,
they will follow me.

330
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,247
When the time comes,
they will follow me.

331
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:10,049
Join us, Worf

332
00:14:10,115 --> 00:14:12,000
and we will usher in a new era
and regain our family name.

333
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,553
and we will usher in a new era
and regain our family name.

334
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:28,300
No.

335
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:30,000
What?!

336
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,369
What?!

337
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:35,608
Gowron has completed
the Rite of Succession.

338
00:14:35,674 --> 00:14:36,000
It is our duty to support him.

339
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,110
It is our duty to support him.

340
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,550
Gowron spits
in your face

341
00:14:44,617 --> 00:14:47,152
when you ask him to give back
what is rightfully ours

342
00:14:47,219 --> 00:14:48,000
and you would support him.

343
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,487
and you would support him.

344
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:52,891
We cannot regain honor
by acting dishonorably.

345
00:14:52,958 --> 00:14:54,000
I will not support Gowron.

346
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,893
I will not support Gowron.

347
00:14:56,962 --> 00:14:59,932
I am the elder brother, Kurn.

348
00:14:59,999 --> 00:15:00,000
I speak for our family.

349
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,902
I speak for our family.

350
00:15:03,969 --> 00:15:06,000
We will back Gowron.

351
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,905
We will back Gowron.

352
00:15:10,676 --> 00:15:11,977
But not now.

353
00:15:12,044 --> 00:15:13,279
Not yet.

354
00:15:14,713 --> 00:15:16,649
We will wait

355
00:15:16,715 --> 00:15:18,000
until he feels
the grasp of his enemies

356
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,551
until he feels
the grasp of his enemies

357
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:21,620
around his throat.

358
00:15:21,687 --> 00:15:24,000
Then we will offer him
our support.

359
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,923
Then we will offer him
our support.

360
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:28,494
And the price will be

361
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,000
the restoration
of our family name.

362
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,397
the restoration
of our family name.

363
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:46,011
It will be difficult

364
00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:48,000
to convince my allies
to back Gowron.

365
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,248
to convince my allies
to back Gowron.

366
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,985
But I will try.

367
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:54,000
I must go to the Mempa sector

368
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,621
I must go to the Mempa sector

369
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:58,557
to meet with the other
squadron commanders.

370
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:00,000
Contact me when you have gained
their support.

371
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,528
Contact me when you have gained
their support.

372
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:05,731
Then I will be ready for Gowron.

373
00:16:11,236 --> 00:16:12,000
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44996.8.

374
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,972
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44996.8.

375
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:16,608
My role as Arbiter
of Succession

376
00:16:16,675 --> 00:16:18,000
has again brought me

377
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,377
has again brought me

378
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:21,880
to the Great Hall
of the Klingon High Council.

379
00:16:25,751 --> 00:16:27,619
naDev ghos!

380
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:35,728
Have you reached
a decision

381
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:36,000
regarding the succession
of power?

382
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,230
regarding the succession
of power?

383
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:39,998
Qaja plu d'itch jung!

384
00:16:40,065 --> 00:16:42,000
La woq yon ghir Klas qimha!

385
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,736
La woq yon ghir Klas qimha!

386
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:45,037
Gowron.

387
00:16:45,104 --> 00:16:47,005
Doj hon.

388
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:48,000
Doj hon.

389
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,540
Doj hon.

390
00:16:48,607 --> 00:16:50,776
( murmuring voices )

391
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:54,000
Gowron, son of M'Rel,
hakt'em.

392
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,583
Gowron, son of M'Rel,
hakt'em.

393
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:00,000
The Arbiter confirms

394
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,520
The Arbiter confirms

395
00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:04,723
that you have completed
the Rite of Succession.

396
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:06,000
Your enemies
have been destroyed.

397
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,259
Your enemies
have been destroyed.

398
00:17:07,326 --> 00:17:09,495
You stand alone.

399
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:11,797
Do you wish to claim leadership
of the Council?

400
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:12,000
I wish it.

401
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,233
I wish it.

402
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:18,000
Are there no other challengers?

403
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,071
Are there no other challengers?

404
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:34,520
MAN:
There is one.

405
00:17:34,586 --> 00:17:35,521
( gasping )

406
00:17:35,587 --> 00:17:36,000
I will challenge him.

407
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,423
I will challenge him.

408
00:17:37,489 --> 00:17:39,258
( murmuring voices )

409
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:41,093
An arrogant child.

410
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,000
Who are you?

411
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,761
Who are you?

412
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:46,298
I am Toral, son of Duras.

413
00:17:46,365 --> 00:17:48,000
Duras had no son.

414
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,700
Duras had no son.

415
00:17:48,767 --> 00:17:51,537
WOMAN:
But he did,
Gowron.

416
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,075
So, this is your
doing, Lursa.

417
00:17:57,142 --> 00:17:59,845
We wish to address
the Council.

418
00:18:04,716 --> 00:18:06,000
Lursa, B'Etor, come forward.

419
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,153
Lursa, B'Etor, come forward.

420
00:18:12,724 --> 00:18:15,561
Members of the High Council

421
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:17,162
it is a day
of great rejoicing

422
00:18:17,229 --> 00:18:18,000
for the family of Duras
and the Klingon Empire.

423
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,698
for the family of Duras
and the Klingon Empire.

424
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:22,434
We have discovered
that our brother

425
00:18:22,501 --> 00:18:24,000
did, indeed,
have a son and heir.

426
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,837
did, indeed,
have a son and heir.

427
00:18:24,903 --> 00:18:26,839
This is outrageous.

428
00:18:26,905 --> 00:18:28,841
Duras had no mate.

429
00:18:28,907 --> 00:18:30,000
Where did you find him, Lursa?

430
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,810
Where did you find him, Lursa?

431
00:18:31,877 --> 00:18:34,847
In a harlot's bedchamber?

432
00:18:34,913 --> 00:18:36,000
I will personally
cut your tongue out, yIntagh!

433
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,851
I will personally
cut your tongue out, yIntagh!

434
00:18:38,917 --> 00:18:41,620
Impudent wretch.

435
00:18:41,687 --> 00:18:42,000
A simple genetic scan
will prove

436
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,622
A simple genetic scan
will prove

437
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:44,823
his bloodline is valid.

438
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:48,000
The illegitimate son of Duras
cannot rule the High Council.

439
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,260
The illegitimate son of Duras
cannot rule the High Council.

440
00:18:48,327 --> 00:18:52,531
The Arbiter will
consider his validity.

441
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:53,832
Len'mat.

442
00:19:18,323 --> 00:19:21,326
Our allies on
the Council

443
00:19:21,393 --> 00:19:23,862
backed Toral's claim.

444
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:24,000
It's in Picard's
hands now.

445
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,565
It's in Picard's
hands now.

446
00:19:26,632 --> 00:19:27,733
Excellent.

447
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:30,000
Everything is proceeding
as scheduled.

448
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,269
Everything is proceeding
as scheduled.

449
00:19:30,335 --> 00:19:31,737
Why not just kill Picard?

450
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:34,940
Fool! Do we want
the Federation
as our enemy?

451
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,000
No.

452
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,341
No.

453
00:19:36,408 --> 00:19:38,410
WOMAN:
At least not yet

454
00:19:38,477 --> 00:19:40,946
but when
the time is right

455
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,000
we will deal with the Federation

456
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,583
we will deal with the Federation

457
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:47,185
and Captain Picard.

458
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:59,398
I have met with the other
squadron commanders here.

459
00:19:59,464 --> 00:20:00,000
Three will join us,
one will not.

460
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,767
Three will join us,
one will not.

461
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:05,671
That gives us enough strength
to control seven key sectors.

462
00:20:07,472 --> 00:20:09,508
Do you know the strength
of our enemies?

463
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:11,877
They have at least
seven squadrons

464
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:12,000
but most of the fleet has not
decided which banner to follow.

465
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,380
but most of the fleet has not
decided which banner to follow.

466
00:20:15,447 --> 00:20:18,000
Well, Gowron is nearly
out of options.

467
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:18,750
Well, Gowron is nearly
out of options.

468
00:20:18,817 --> 00:20:21,453
Soon he will have no choice.

469
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,000
I will return soon
to the homeworld.

470
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,356
I will return soon
to the homeworld.

471
00:20:24,423 --> 00:20:26,091
We shall meet then.

472
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:30,000
Do you also require
the original logs

473
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,463
Do you also require
the original logs

474
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:33,332
recorded during
the attack, Lieutenant?

475
00:20:33,398 --> 00:20:35,567
Everything we have on
the Khitomer massacre.

476
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:36,000
We can provide you

477
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,702
We can provide you

478
00:20:36,768 --> 00:20:38,503
with our analysis
of the communications

479
00:20:38,570 --> 00:20:40,906
between the Khitomer outpost
and the Romulan ships.

480
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:42,000
However,
for a complete record

481
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,574
However,
for a complete record

482
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:44,710
you will have to contact
Starbase 24.

483
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:46,678
Mr. Worf?

484
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:48,000
Have you canceled your leave?

485
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,747
Have you canceled your leave?

486
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:51,416
No, sir.

487
00:20:51,483 --> 00:20:54,000
Lieutenant, would you join me
in my ready room?

488
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,486
Lieutenant, would you join me
in my ready room?

489
00:21:04,896 --> 00:21:06,000
Mr. Worf

490
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,665
Mr. Worf

491
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:10,402
you're using our files
on the Khitomer massacre

492
00:21:10,469 --> 00:21:12,000
as evidence against
Duras' father.

493
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,005
as evidence against
Duras' father.

494
00:21:13,071 --> 00:21:14,706
Yes, sir.

495
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:17,976
Do you not see an inherent
conflict of interest here?

496
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:20,779
Sir, those Federation records
will help me prove

497
00:21:20,846 --> 00:21:23,415
my father was falsely accused
of treason.

498
00:21:23,482 --> 00:21:24,000
You are using
your position

499
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:24,783
You are using
your position

500
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:27,319
as a Starfleet officer

501
00:21:27,386 --> 00:21:30,000
to affect political change
on your planet.

502
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,389
to affect political change
on your planet.

503
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,290
There could not be
a worse compromise

504
00:21:32,357 --> 00:21:33,725
of our fundamental principles.

505
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:36,000
Do not tie my hands now.

506
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,328
Do not tie my hands now.

507
00:21:36,395 --> 00:21:38,597
I must be able to prove
my father's innocence.

508
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,699
Those Federation records
can do that.

509
00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:45,504
Mr. Worf...

510
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:48,000
( sighs )

511
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,407
( sighs )

512
00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:51,843
Here I am, lecturing you
on a conflict of interest

513
00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:54,000
while I'm desperately trying
to avoid one of my own.

514
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:54,780
while I'm desperately trying
to avoid one of my own.

515
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:58,984
Do you think I wish to allow
the Duras family

516
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:00,000
to solidify their hold
on the Council?

517
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,420
to solidify their hold
on the Council?

518
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:02,788
Do you think
I cannot see

519
00:22:02,854 --> 00:22:04,623
for myself
the implications

520
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:05,857
for the Federation?

521
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:06,000
Good Lord,
Duras tried to have me killed.

522
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,627
Good Lord,
Duras tried to have me killed.

523
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:10,095
( sighs )

524
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,000
All of my instincts, my training

525
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:12,764
All of my instincts, my training

526
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:16,468
my very being
as a Starfleet officer

527
00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:18,000
are at odds
with my responsibility

528
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,670
are at odds
with my responsibility

529
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:21,473
as Arbiter
of the Klingon High Council.

530
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:22,808
We walk the
same tightrope

531
00:22:22,874 --> 00:22:24,000
between two worlds,
you and I.

532
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,609
between two worlds,
you and I.

533
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:26,645
We must try our very best

534
00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:29,648
to keep those two worlds
separate...

535
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,685
or we shall certainly fall.

536
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:36,000
Yes, sir.

537
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,823
Yes, sir.

538
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:42,000
I will make
the Khitomer massacre files

539
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,095
I will make
the Khitomer massacre files

540
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:45,997
available to anyone
who wants them--

541
00:22:46,064 --> 00:22:47,399
to the High Council

542
00:22:47,466 --> 00:22:48,000
to the Duras
family, to you

543
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,867
to the Duras
family, to you

544
00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:50,736
anyone.

545
00:22:51,937 --> 00:22:54,000
Thank you, sir.

546
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,573
Thank you, sir.

547
00:22:54,639 --> 00:22:56,108
Mr. Worf

548
00:22:56,174 --> 00:22:59,511
this is as far as I will go.

549
00:23:04,850 --> 00:23:06,000
Riker to Picard.

550
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,685
Riker to Picard.

551
00:23:06,752 --> 00:23:08,553
Yes, Number One?

552
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:10,756
There's a message coming in
for you from the surface.

553
00:23:10,822 --> 00:23:12,000
It's coded personal.

554
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:12,624
It's coded personal.

555
00:23:12,691 --> 00:23:14,693
Send it through.

556
00:23:22,868 --> 00:23:24,000
Captain.

557
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,803
Captain.

558
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:26,805
Welcome.

559
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:28,707
Please, come in.

560
00:23:32,744 --> 00:23:34,579
Be seated.

561
00:23:40,585 --> 00:23:42,000
Something to drink,
Captain?

562
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,988
Something to drink,
Captain?

563
00:23:43,054 --> 00:23:44,823
Tea?

564
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:46,825
Earl Grey, perhaps?

565
00:23:46,892 --> 00:23:48,000
Thank you.

566
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,827
Thank you.

567
00:23:48,894 --> 00:23:50,962
You come alone

568
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:52,931
and unarmed.

569
00:23:52,998 --> 00:23:54,000
Nothing will be served
by killing the Arbiter

570
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,467
Nothing will be served
by killing the Arbiter

571
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:56,768
before his decision.

572
00:23:56,835 --> 00:23:58,937
Nevertheless

573
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:00,000
a brave act, Captain.

574
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,140
a brave act, Captain.

575
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:03,742
B'Etor.

576
00:24:17,756 --> 00:24:18,000
Your invitation
was unexpected.

577
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,691
Your invitation
was unexpected.

578
00:24:19,758 --> 00:24:22,027
We should have extended
it much sooner.

579
00:24:22,093 --> 00:24:23,762
We don't want
you to judge us

580
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:24,000
by your experience
with our brother.

581
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,031
by your experience
with our brother.

582
00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:27,132
B'ETOR:
Duras was a fool.

583
00:24:27,199 --> 00:24:28,967
He deserved to die.

584
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:29,968
Forget him.

585
00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:31,736
We have.

586
00:24:31,803 --> 00:24:35,140
We do not wish to be your enemy.

587
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:36,000
Quite the opposite.

588
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,043
Quite the opposite.

589
00:24:38,109 --> 00:24:40,645
That pleases me.

590
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:42,000
Have you...

591
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,113
Have you...

592
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:45,717
have you made your decision
regarding Toral's challenge?

593
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:48,000
I'm pursuing it
with due vigilance.

594
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,653
I'm pursuing it
with due vigilance.

595
00:24:50,589 --> 00:24:52,991
Allow me to heat up
your tea.

596
00:24:53,058 --> 00:24:54,000
Toral has the
bloodline to
lead the Empire

597
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,695
Toral has the
bloodline to
lead the Empire

598
00:24:56,761 --> 00:24:58,697
into the next century.

599
00:24:58,763 --> 00:25:00,000
He has the support
of the people.

600
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,499
He has the support
of the people.

601
00:25:01,566 --> 00:25:04,569
Then it remains to see
if he has the support of law.

602
00:25:04,636 --> 00:25:05,704
B'ETOR:
But he must.

603
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:06,000
Surely, you can see that.

604
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,739
Surely, you can see that.

605
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:11,710
I'll tell you what I see.

606
00:25:11,776 --> 00:25:12,000
If I find
Toral's challenge valid

607
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,746
If I find
Toral's challenge valid

608
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:18,000
the two of you will very quickly
gain control of the Council

609
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,016
the two of you will very quickly
gain control of the Council

610
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:21,119
and Gowron
will be found dead

611
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:22,787
shortly thereafter.

612
00:25:22,854 --> 00:25:24,000
If I reject Toral's claim

613
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,956
If I reject Toral's claim

614
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:28,760
you will accuse me
of serving Federation interests

615
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:30,000
and it will serve
as a rallying cry

616
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,196
and it will serve
as a rallying cry

617
00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:34,132
to declare war
and overthrow Gowron.

618
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:36,000
You see very clearly, Captain

619
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,236
You see very clearly, Captain

620
00:25:38,303 --> 00:25:41,673
but one thing is missing.

621
00:25:41,740 --> 00:25:42,000
If you rule against us

622
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,809
If you rule against us

623
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:48,000
and we are victorious
in a war against Gowron...

624
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,647
and we are victorious
in a war against Gowron...

625
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:49,648
Which we would be.

626
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:50,482
...it will
mean the end

627
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:53,051
of the Alliance
with the Federation.

628
00:25:53,118 --> 00:25:54,000
And we would hate
to see that happen
as much as you would.

629
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,787
And we would hate
to see that happen
as much as you would.

630
00:25:55,854 --> 00:25:59,024
This is not a threat, Captain.

631
00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:00,000
Just an unfortunate truth.

632
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,927
Just an unfortunate truth.

633
00:26:01,993 --> 00:26:03,895
So, why be our enemy

634
00:26:03,962 --> 00:26:06,000
when you can
be our friend?

635
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,831
when you can
be our friend?

636
00:26:11,937 --> 00:26:12,000
You have manipulated
the circumstances

637
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,606
You have manipulated
the circumstances

638
00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:16,608
with the skill
of a Romulan.

639
00:26:16,675 --> 00:26:18,000
My decision
will be announced

640
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,810
My decision
will be announced

641
00:26:18,877 --> 00:26:20,779
at high sun tomorrow.

642
00:26:20,845 --> 00:26:21,813
Excellent tea.

643
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,000
Good day, ladies.

644
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,215
Good day, ladies.

645
00:26:40,832 --> 00:26:42,000
( murmuring voices )

646
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,934
( murmuring voices )

647
00:26:45,236 --> 00:26:47,172
K'TAL:
What is your
decision?

648
00:26:47,238 --> 00:26:48,000
K'Tal, this Council knows
the law of heredity well.

649
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,242
K'Tal, this Council knows
the law of heredity well.

650
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:54,000
G'now juk Hol pajhard.

651
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,846
G'now juk Hol pajhard.

652
00:26:54,913 --> 00:26:59,784
A son shall share in the honors
or crimes of his father.

653
00:27:01,152 --> 00:27:02,854
Toral is Duras' son.

654
00:27:02,921 --> 00:27:05,190
That has been established
by genetic scan.

655
00:27:05,256 --> 00:27:06,000
But with due respect
to the traditions and laws

656
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,727
But with due respect
to the traditions and laws

657
00:27:08,793 --> 00:27:09,794
of this High Council

658
00:27:09,861 --> 00:27:11,863
there is no basis
for accepting

659
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:12,000
a petition
for leadership from a boy

660
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,965
a petition
for leadership from a boy

661
00:27:14,032 --> 00:27:17,035
who has fought no battles

662
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,000
shed no blood for his people

663
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,170
shed no blood for his people

664
00:27:19,237 --> 00:27:22,307
nor earned
honor for himself.

665
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:24,000
One day, perhaps, he shall

666
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,643
One day, perhaps, he shall

667
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:27,846
but not now.

668
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:31,916
Duras is dead.

669
00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:35,020
His claim to the leadership
died with him.

670
00:27:35,086 --> 00:27:36,000
Gowron shall lead
the Council.

671
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,789
Gowron shall lead
the Council.

672
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:39,958
The Arbiter has ruled.

673
00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:42,000
There are no more challenges.

674
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:42,861
There are no more challenges.

675
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:46,097
Does the Federation dictate

676
00:27:46,164 --> 00:27:48,000
Klingon destiny,
or do we?

677
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,801
Klingon destiny,
or do we?

678
00:27:50,902 --> 00:27:54,000
Follow me, and I
will show you honor.

679
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:54,205
Follow me, and I
will show you honor.

680
00:27:55,774 --> 00:27:58,676
Follow him

681
00:27:58,743 --> 00:28:00,000
and you reject all Klingon law.

682
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,881
and you reject all Klingon law.

683
00:28:14,225 --> 00:28:17,962
Can you not see
what you are doing?

684
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:21,066
Are you blind
to what they represent?

685
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:24,000
Then go.

686
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:24,135
Then go.

687
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:28,873
Your blood will paint the way
to the future.

688
00:29:02,841 --> 00:29:04,976
Your message said
it was urgent.

689
00:29:05,043 --> 00:29:06,000
What do you want?

690
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,478
What do you want?

691
00:29:06,544 --> 00:29:08,780
Your forces are weak, Gowron.

692
00:29:08,847 --> 00:29:12,000
You need help
to fight the family of Duras.

693
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,383
You need help
to fight the family of Duras.

694
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:15,153
From one dishonored Klingon?

695
00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:18,000
I offer you
four Klingon squadrons.

696
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:18,389
I offer you
four Klingon squadrons.

697
00:29:20,158 --> 00:29:23,261
Why would they follow you,
a Starfleet officer?

698
00:29:23,328 --> 00:29:24,000
They are pledged to support
my brother, Kurn.

699
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,831
They are pledged to support
my brother, Kurn.

700
00:29:27,999 --> 00:29:29,901
Kurn is your brother?

701
00:29:29,968 --> 00:29:30,000
Yes.

702
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,969
Yes.

703
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,372
His true bloodlines
were hidden to protect him.

704
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:36,000
Kurn will follow me?

705
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,207
Kurn will follow me?

706
00:29:36,274 --> 00:29:39,377
He has opposed me in the past.

707
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:41,779
I am the elder brother.

708
00:29:41,846 --> 00:29:42,000
He will do as I say.

709
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,182
He will do as I say.

710
00:29:44,249 --> 00:29:47,085
What is it you want in return?

711
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:48,000
You know my price.

712
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,053
You know my price.

713
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,055
The return
of your honor

714
00:29:51,122 --> 00:29:53,858
for the support
of four squadrons.

715
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:54,000
No.

716
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,959
No.

717
00:29:55,026 --> 00:29:56,928
That will not be enough.

718
00:29:56,995 --> 00:30:00,000
The Duras family controls
most of the fleet.

719
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,165
The Duras family controls
most of the fleet.

720
00:30:00,231 --> 00:30:05,170
We must have
Federation help.

721
00:30:05,236 --> 00:30:06,000
They will not intervene.

722
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:06,971
They will not intervene.

723
00:30:07,038 --> 00:30:09,974
Perhaps not yet

724
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:12,000
but Starfleet Command
will listen to Picard

725
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:12,844
but Starfleet Command
will listen to Picard

726
00:30:12,911 --> 00:30:13,845
and Picard...

727
00:30:13,912 --> 00:30:15,914
listens to you.

728
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:18,000
I can ask nothing more
of him in this matter.

729
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,184
I can ask nothing more
of him in this matter.

730
00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:22,287
What?

731
00:30:22,353 --> 00:30:24,000
My duty as
a Starfleet officer...

732
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,289
My duty as
a Starfleet officer...

733
00:30:24,355 --> 00:30:25,990
You come to me

734
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:28,159
and demand the restoration
of your family honor

735
00:30:28,226 --> 00:30:30,000
and now...

736
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,228
and now...

737
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:34,966
you hide behind human excuses.

738
00:30:38,002 --> 00:30:40,104
What are you, Worf?

739
00:30:40,171 --> 00:30:42,000
Do you tremble
and quake with fear

740
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,874
Do you tremble
and quake with fear

741
00:30:42,941 --> 00:30:44,609
at the approach of combat

742
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:48,000
hoping to talk your way
out of a fight, like a human?

743
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,314
hoping to talk your way
out of a fight, like a human?

744
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:53,218
Or do you hear
the cry of the warrior

745
00:30:53,284 --> 00:30:54,000
calling you to battle

746
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,053
calling you to battle

747
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:58,389
calling you to glory,
like a Klingon?

748
00:30:58,456 --> 00:31:00,000
( explosion )

749
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:00,024
( explosion )

750
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:06,000
( speaks Klingon )

751
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,965
( speaks Klingon )

752
00:31:07,031 --> 00:31:07,999
Status!

753
00:31:08,066 --> 00:31:09,033
Aft shields down.

754
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,135
Warp coils
damaged.

755
00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:12,000
Red Alert.

756
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,303
Red Alert.

757
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:15,306
A second ship is joining
the attack on the Bortas.

758
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:17,542
( alarms blare )

759
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:23,915
It's begun.

760
00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:30,000
Send an emergency signal

761
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,990
Send an emergency signal

762
00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:33,458
to any loyal ships!

763
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:36,000
Impulse engines not responding!

764
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,629
Impulse engines not responding!

765
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:40,498
( yells )

766
00:31:47,038 --> 00:31:48,000
Engage emergency override.

767
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,340
Engage emergency override.

768
00:31:49,407 --> 00:31:50,541
Override engaged.

769
00:31:50,608 --> 00:31:53,378
Disruptors still
not responding.

770
00:31:55,413 --> 00:31:57,649
The Bortas has lost
her port shields, sir.

771
00:31:57,715 --> 00:31:59,384
It is unlikely
they will withstand

772
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:00,000
another hit
in that quarter.

773
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,052
another hit
in that quarter.

774
00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:05,356
Their primary life support
has failed, sir.

775
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:06,000
The Bortas has put out
a general distress call.

776
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,027
The Bortas has put out
a general distress call.

777
00:32:17,402 --> 00:32:18,000
Ensign Reel

778
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,937
Ensign Reel

779
00:32:20,004 --> 00:32:22,674
plot a course to take us safely
away from the combat area.

780
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:24,000
Half impulse.

781
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:24,142
Half impulse.

782
00:32:24,208 --> 00:32:26,077
Captain, the Bortas
is Gowron's ship.

783
00:32:26,144 --> 00:32:28,413
If he's the legitimate leader
of the Empire

784
00:32:28,479 --> 00:32:30,000
shouldn't we help him?

785
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:30,081
shouldn't we help him?

786
00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:32,016
If we go to the aid
of the Bortas

787
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,986
we'll be dragging the Federation
into a Klingon civil war.

788
00:32:35,053 --> 00:32:36,000
What about Worf?

789
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,021
What about Worf?

790
00:32:40,024 --> 00:32:41,392
Ensign...

791
00:32:41,459 --> 00:32:42,000
engage.

792
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,460
engage.

793
00:32:50,702 --> 00:32:52,704
Port shields are still down.

794
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:54,000
Disruptors on line.

795
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:54,639
Disruptors on line.

796
00:32:54,706 --> 00:32:56,407
Lock on target.

797
00:32:56,474 --> 00:32:58,276
No.
Don't you see?

798
00:32:58,343 --> 00:32:59,577
Their sensors
will detect

799
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:00,000
the weapons lock.

800
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,346
the weapons lock.

801
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:04,215
If they think we're helpless,
they will try to board the ship.

802
00:33:04,282 --> 00:33:05,983
I can aim and fire
disruptors manually

803
00:33:06,050 --> 00:33:07,418
when they drop their shields.

804
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,487
GhoS.

805
00:33:15,793 --> 00:33:18,000
35,000 kellicams.

806
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,030
35,000 kellicams.

807
00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:22,300
20,000 kellicams.

808
00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:24,000
Now within transporter range.

809
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,469
Now within transporter range.

810
00:33:24,535 --> 00:33:27,038
SuH.

811
00:33:27,105 --> 00:33:29,540
They're dropping their shields.

812
00:33:29,607 --> 00:33:30,000
BaH!

813
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,641
BaH!

814
00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:41,486
Firing
on second target.

815
00:33:43,421 --> 00:33:44,789
( crewman speaking Klingon )

816
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:47,158
They were able to raise
the shields in time.

817
00:33:47,225 --> 00:33:48,000
Minor damage only.

818
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,326
Minor damage only.

819
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:54,000
Disruptors off-line.

820
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,565
Disruptors off-line.

821
00:33:54,632 --> 00:33:57,402
All power to shields!

822
00:33:58,536 --> 00:33:59,537
Shields failing.

823
00:34:11,649 --> 00:34:12,000
Incoming message.

824
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,584
Incoming message.

825
00:34:13,651 --> 00:34:14,819
On viewer!

826
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:18,000
This is Captain Kurn
of the Hegh'ta.

827
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:18,389
This is Captain Kurn
of the Hegh'ta.

828
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:20,358
We come to defend the Empire

829
00:34:20,425 --> 00:34:22,593
and to follow the banner
of Gowron.

830
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:24,000
You have done well,
Captain Kurn.

831
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,096
You have done well,
Captain Kurn.

832
00:34:25,163 --> 00:34:26,631
Lursa and B'Etor
have moved

833
00:34:26,697 --> 00:34:28,733
more quickly
than I anticipated.

834
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,000
We shall not
underestimate them again.

835
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,536
We shall not
underestimate them again.

836
00:34:31,602 --> 00:34:34,238
Meet us at the Great Hall.

837
00:34:38,676 --> 00:34:41,446
Advise the Enterprise

838
00:34:41,512 --> 00:34:42,000
that their delegation
is welcome to attend...

839
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,315
that their delegation
is welcome to attend...

840
00:34:45,616 --> 00:34:48,000
my installation as leader.

841
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:48,553
my installation as leader.

842
00:34:51,522 --> 00:34:54,000
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44998.3.

843
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,358
Captain's Log,
Stardate 44998.3.

844
00:34:54,425 --> 00:34:56,227
With new-found support

845
00:34:56,294 --> 00:35:00,000
Gowron has chosen to proceed
with the installation ceremony.

846
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:00,164
Gowron has chosen to proceed
with the installation ceremony.

847
00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:02,433
The Enterprise has returned

848
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:06,000
so that I may perform my final
duty as Arbiter of Succession.

849
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,704
so that I may perform my final
duty as Arbiter of Succession.

850
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:24,000
Receive now the loyalty
of the Council

851
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,391
Receive now the loyalty
of the Council

852
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:28,793
and of the Empire.

853
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:30,000
ALL:
Qapla'!

854
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:30,261
ALL:
Qapla'!

855
00:35:38,769 --> 00:35:41,873
naDev ghos.

856
00:35:53,251 --> 00:35:54,000
You both fought
as warriors.

857
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,521
You both fought
as warriors.

858
00:35:56,587 --> 00:35:59,757
You have proven
your hearts are Klingon.

859
00:36:06,964 --> 00:36:10,768
I return your
family honor.

860
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:12,000
I give you back

861
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,737
I give you back

862
00:36:12,803 --> 00:36:16,374
that which was wrongfully taken
from you.

863
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,000
Let your name be spoken
once again.

864
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,611
Let your name be spoken
once again.

865
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:22,847
You are Worf

866
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:24,000
son of Mogh.

867
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,717
son of Mogh.

868
00:36:43,901 --> 00:36:46,804
The Duras family is gathering
a large force

869
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:48,000
near Beta Thoridar.

870
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:48,673
near Beta Thoridar.

871
00:36:48,739 --> 00:36:51,742
As per the terms
of the Treaty of Alliance

872
00:36:51,809 --> 00:36:54,000
I now formally request
your assistance

873
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,812
I now formally request
your assistance

874
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:58,516
in fighting these enemies
of the Empire.

875
00:36:58,583 --> 00:37:00,000
These enemies are Klingon.

876
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:00,284
These enemies are Klingon.

877
00:37:00,351 --> 00:37:04,488
By right and tradition,
I am the sole leader.

878
00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:06,000
All who oppose me

879
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,358
All who oppose me

880
00:37:07,425 --> 00:37:09,560
are traitors.

881
00:37:09,627 --> 00:37:12,000
I understand your position,
but I'm sure you're aware

882
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:12,697
I understand your position,
but I'm sure you're aware

883
00:37:12,763 --> 00:37:14,599
that the Federation
cannot interfere

884
00:37:14,665 --> 00:37:17,835
in, what is, by definition,
an internal Klingon affair.

885
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:18,000
You arbitrated
the Rite of Succession.

886
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,672
You arbitrated
the Rite of Succession.

887
00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:23,841
You are already involved.

888
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:24,000
My duties in that regard
are finished.

889
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,612
My duties in that regard
are finished.

890
00:37:27,678 --> 00:37:29,747
Captain, we must intervene.

891
00:37:29,814 --> 00:37:30,000
The Duras family is corrupt
and hungry for power

892
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,551
The Duras family is corrupt
and hungry for power

893
00:37:33,618 --> 00:37:36,000
with no sense
of honor or loyalty.

894
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:36,554
with no sense
of honor or loyalty.

895
00:37:36,621 --> 00:37:38,789
They represent a grave threat

896
00:37:38,856 --> 00:37:41,792
to the security
of the Federation.

897
00:37:41,859 --> 00:37:42,000
Captain...

898
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,527
Captain...

899
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:48,000
you and I know that
they have conspired

900
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,699
you and I know that
they have conspired

901
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:50,935
with Romulans
in the past.

902
00:37:51,002 --> 00:37:53,638
If they should be
victors in this war

903
00:37:53,704 --> 00:37:54,000
they would surely form
a new Klingon/Romulan alliance.

904
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,807
they would surely form
a new Klingon/Romulan alliance.

905
00:37:56,874 --> 00:37:59,977
And that would represent
a fundamental shift of power

906
00:38:00,044 --> 00:38:01,846
in this quadrant.

907
00:38:01,912 --> 00:38:04,815
Starfleet must support Gowron.

908
00:38:04,882 --> 00:38:06,000
It is in the interests

909
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,617
It is in the interests

910
00:38:06,684 --> 00:38:09,620
of both the Federation
and the Empire.

911
00:38:09,687 --> 00:38:11,722
I beg you.

912
00:38:11,789 --> 00:38:12,000
Support us in our cause.

913
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,058
Support us in our cause.

914
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:16,661
Mr. Worf, I don't
have to lecture you

915
00:38:16,727 --> 00:38:18,000
on the principle
of noninterference.

916
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,863
on the principle
of noninterference.

917
00:38:18,929 --> 00:38:22,633
And as Starfleet officers,
we have all sworn an oath

918
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:24,000
to uphold that principle,
whatever our personal feelings.

919
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,503
to uphold that principle,
whatever our personal feelings.

920
00:38:25,569 --> 00:38:26,704
I'm sorry.

921
00:38:26,771 --> 00:38:28,439
I must refuse your request.

922
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:40,618
Mr. Worf!

923
00:38:43,721 --> 00:38:45,656
I'm afraid I must
recall you to duty.

924
00:38:45,723 --> 00:38:48,000
The Enterprise will be leaving
this sector immediately.

925
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:48,726
The Enterprise will be leaving
this sector immediately.

926
00:38:51,562 --> 00:38:54,000
Captain, I respectfully
request that I be allowed

927
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,833
Captain, I respectfully
request that I be allowed

928
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:57,768
to take an extended
leave of absence.

929
00:38:57,835 --> 00:38:59,637
Mr. Worf, your
responsibilities

930
00:38:59,704 --> 00:39:00,000
as a Starfleet officer
are incompatible

931
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,572
as a Starfleet officer
are incompatible

932
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:03,541
with remaining on board
a Klingon ship

933
00:39:03,607 --> 00:39:05,009
during a time of war.

934
00:39:06,177 --> 00:39:07,745
Captain...

935
00:39:07,812 --> 00:39:10,748
I order you to return
to duty at once.

936
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:18,000
Then I resign
my commission

937
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,591
Then I resign
my commission

938
00:39:20,658 --> 00:39:22,793
as a Starfleet officer.

939
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:30,000
I will await you
aboard the Bortas.

940
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,703
I will await you
aboard the Bortas.

941
00:39:36,140 --> 00:39:38,743
( door opens, closes )

942
00:39:42,646 --> 00:39:45,516
( door opens, closes )

943
00:40:07,738 --> 00:40:09,173
( door chimes )

944
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:10,708
Enter.

945
00:40:12,676 --> 00:40:14,178
Am I intruding?

946
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:17,047
No, sir.

947
00:40:17,114 --> 00:40:18,000
I understand
you will be serving

948
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:18,883
I understand
you will be serving

949
00:40:18,949 --> 00:40:20,117
on board the Bortas.

950
00:40:20,184 --> 00:40:22,586
As Weapons Officer.

951
00:40:22,653 --> 00:40:24,000
Your tactical knowledge
and experience

952
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,089
Your tactical knowledge
and experience

953
00:40:25,156 --> 00:40:27,158
will serve them well.

954
00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:29,727
Thank you, sir.

955
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:36,000
Mr. Worf, are you certain
that this is the right decision?

956
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,802
Mr. Worf, are you certain
that this is the right decision?

957
00:40:42,807 --> 00:40:46,877
I was rescued from Khitomer
by humans.

958
00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:51,215
Raised and loved
by human parents.

959
00:40:53,217 --> 00:40:54,000
I have spent most of my life
around humans--

960
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,153
I have spent most of my life
around humans--

961
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:58,589
fought beside them.

962
00:41:00,224 --> 00:41:03,060
But I was born a Klingon.

963
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:05,062
My heart is of that world.

964
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:06,000
I...

965
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,131
I...

966
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:10,801
do hear the cry of the warrior.

967
00:41:14,038 --> 00:41:16,240
I belong with my people.

968
00:41:16,307 --> 00:41:18,000
Being the only Klingon
ever to serve in Starfleet

969
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,744
Being the only Klingon
ever to serve in Starfleet

970
00:41:20,811 --> 00:41:24,000
gave you
a singular distinction, but...

971
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,516
gave you
a singular distinction, but...

972
00:41:26,884 --> 00:41:30,000
I felt that what was unique
about you was your humanity--

973
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,989
I felt that what was unique
about you was your humanity--

974
00:41:33,791 --> 00:41:36,000
compassion, generosity,
fairness.

975
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:36,861
compassion, generosity,
fairness.

976
00:41:36,927 --> 00:41:39,797
You took the best qualities
of humanity

977
00:41:39,864 --> 00:41:41,832
and made them
part of you.

978
00:41:41,899 --> 00:41:42,000
The result was a man

979
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,734
The result was a man

980
00:41:43,801 --> 00:41:47,271
who I was proud to call
one of my officers.

981
00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:54,000
I'll have
your belongings transported

982
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,011
I'll have
your belongings transported

983
00:41:54,078 --> 00:41:56,747
to the Bortas.

984
00:41:56,814 --> 00:41:59,283
Thank you, sir.

985
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:17,868
Attention on deck.

986
00:42:58,342 --> 00:43:00,000
Permission to leave
the ship, sir?

987
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,278
Permission to leave
the ship, sir?

988
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,281
Permission granted.

989
00:43:05,916 --> 00:43:06,000
Qapla'.

990
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,217
Qapla'.

991
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:14,625
Good-bye.

992
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:24,000
Dismissed.

993
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:24,301
Dismissed.

994
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:06,000
Picard has rejected
Gowron's plea for help.

995
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,811
Picard has rejected
Gowron's plea for help.

996
00:44:07,878 --> 00:44:11,382
The Enterprise
has left orbit.

997
00:44:11,448 --> 00:44:12,000
Coward!

998
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:12,916
Coward!

999
00:44:12,983 --> 00:44:14,818
He didn't have the
courage to face us.

1000
00:44:14,885 --> 00:44:16,286
The Federation...

1001
00:44:16,353 --> 00:44:18,000
WOMAN:
Celebrate later, Toral.

1002
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:18,022
WOMAN:
Celebrate later, Toral.

1003
00:44:20,891 --> 00:44:24,000
We should not discount
Jean-Luc Picard yet.

1004
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:24,428
We should not discount
Jean-Luc Picard yet.

1005
00:44:24,495 --> 00:44:26,897
He is human

1006
00:44:26,964 --> 00:44:29,333
and humans have a way
of showing up

1007
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,000
when you least expect them.

1008
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,435
when you least expect them.
