we can't leave him here. 59 00:04:07,046 --> 00:04:07,981 He won't survive. 60 00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:10,350 I think the Captain understands that. 61 00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:11,351 I don't. 62 00:04:12,185 --> 00:04:13,353 The Borg usually collect their dead. 63 00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:14,687 He's not dead. 64 00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:15,922 RIKER: The transmission... 65 00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:17,323 At least not yet. 66 00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:18,000 The transmission that we intercepted 67 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,359 The transmission that we intercepted 68 00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:20,627 was probably a homing signal. 69 00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:22,395 We have to assume they're on their way. 70 00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:24,000 Let me at least stabilize his condition-- 71 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,263 Let me at least stabilize his condition-- 72 00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:26,265 give him a chance of surviving until they get here. 73 00:04:26,332 --> 00:04:28,267 Your concern is noted, Doctor 74 00:04:28,334 --> 00:04:30,000 but any intervention on our part 75 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,269 but any intervention on our part 76 00:04:30,336 --> 00:04:33,272 would alert the Borg to our having been there. 77 00:04:33,339 --> 00:04:34,641 I'm afraid we've turned that corner already. 78 00:04:34,707 --> 00:04:36,000 Kill it now. 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,275 Kill it now. 80 00:04:36,342 --> 00:04:39,379 Make it appear that it died in the crash. 81 00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:42,000 Leave no evidence that we were ever here. 82 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,916 Leave no evidence that we were ever here. 83 00:04:43,983 --> 00:04:47,754 Security measures must be taken before we beam it on board. 84 00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:48,000 CRUSHER: Thank you, Captain. 85 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,955 CRUSHER: Thank you, Captain. 86 00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:50,056 Standing by. 87 00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:51,357 Mr. Data, notify security 88 00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:53,059 to

00:04:56,929 --> 00:04:57,730 We're bringing a Borg survivor on board. 93 00:04:58,665 --> 00:04:59,732 We'll need to neutralize the homing signal. 94 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,035 Prevent it from sending or receiving transmissions 95 00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:03,403 of any kind. 96 00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:05,004 I'll set up a subspace dampening field 97 00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:06,000 around the detention cell. 98 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,372 around the detention cell. 99 00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:07,306 Very well. 100 00:05:33,099 --> 00:05:34,467 There are four more. 101 00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:35,468 None survived. 102 00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:36,000 Picard to Riker. 103 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,803 Picard to Riker. 104 00:05:36,869 --> 00:05:38,071 Go ahead, Enterprise. 105 00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,673 We are transporting you directly to the detention cell. 106 00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,000 CRUSHER: I need him in Sick Bay, Captain. 107 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,809 CRUSHER: I need him in Sick Bay, Captain. 108 00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,444 The cell, Doctor. 109 00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:45,611 Whatever equipment you need 110 00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:47,080 will be brought to you there. 111 00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:48,000 Very well. 112 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,014 Very well. 113 00:06:02,962 --> 00:06:03,963 ( door chimes ) 114 00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:05,064 Come. 115 00:06:08,668 --> 00:06:10,136 Captain, I was wondering 116 00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:12,000 if there was anything you wanted to talk about. 117 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,005 if there was anything you wanted to talk about. 118 00:06:13,072 --> 00:06:14,974 I don't think so, Counselor. 119 00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,709 I would have thought 120 00:06:16,776 --> 00:06:18,000 having a Borg on the ship would stir some feelings. 121 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,680 having a Borg on the ship would stir some feelings. 122 00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:23,416 I'm quite recovered from my experience, thank you. 123 00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:24,000 Sometimes, even when a victim has dealt with his assault 124 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,489 Sometimes, even when a victim has dealt with his assault 125 00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:30,000 there are residual effects of the event that linger. 126 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,625 there are residual effects of the event that linger. 127 00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:35,394 You were treated violently by the Borg-- 128 00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:36,000 kidnapped, assaulted, mutilated... 129 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,530 kidnapped, assaulted, mutilated... 130 00:06:37,597 --> 00:06:40,666 Counselor... 131 00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:42,000 Counselor, I very much appreciate your concern for me 132 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,536 Counselor, I very much appreciate your concern for me 133 00:06:43,603 --> 00:06:45,605 but I can assure you, it is quite misplaced. 134 00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:47,673 I have carefully considered the implications 135 00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:48,000 of having a Borg on this ship. 136 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,575 of having a Borg on this ship. 137 00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:52,578 I have weighed the possible risks 138 00:06:52,645 --> 00:06:54,000 and I'm convinced that we are doing the right thing. 139 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,749 and I'm convinced that we are doing the right thing. 140 00:06:56,816 --> 00:07:00,000 Now, I am quite comfortable with my decision. 141 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,787 Now, I am quite comfortable with my decision. 142 00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:03,589 I see. 143 00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:06,000 Well, if at any point you want to talk more... 144 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,026 Well, if at any point you want to talk more... 145 00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:10,129 I shall certainly avail myself of your help. 146 00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,000 WORF: Lower the force field. 147 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,143 WORF: Lower the force field. 148 00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:32,652 Captain, the Borg is still unconscious. 149 00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:36,000 CRUSHER: He suffered massive internal injuries. 150 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,022 CRUSHER: He suffered massive internal injuries. 151 00:07:36,088 --> 00:07:37,623 We've been able to control the hemorrhaging 152 00:07:37,690 --> 00:07:39,492 but some of the implants in his brain were damaged. 153 00:07:39,559 --> 00:07:41,661 I may have to remove them. 154 00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:42,000 The Borg will die if they're removed permanently. 155 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,497 The Borg will die if they're removed permanently. 156 00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:46,766 Their brains grow dependent on the biochips. 157 00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:48,000 Perhaps Geordi can construct some new implants. 158 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,635 Perhaps Geordi can construct some new implants. 159 00:07:49,702 --> 00:07:52,138 They contain relatively straightforward programming-- 160 00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:53,472 interface protocols. 161 00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:54,000 We have the files we downloaded 162 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,674 We have the files we downloaded 163 00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,108 after your experience, Captain. 164 00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:58,578 I think I can manage it. 165 00:07:58,644 --> 00:08:00,000 Mr. La Forge... 166 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,147 Mr. La Forge... 167 00:08:02,915 --> 00:08:05,852 do you know enough about Borg programming 168 00:08:05,918 --> 00:08:06,000 to alter the pathways to their root command structure? 169 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,722 to alter the pathways to their root command structure? 170 00:08:09,789 --> 00:08:11,691 I'm not sure, sir. 171 00:08:11,757 --> 00:08:12,000 Subroutines are pretty complicated. 172 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,926 Subroutines are pretty complicated. 173 00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:17,096 I'd probably have to study the data processing algorithms. 174 00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:18,000 It's the only way I could trace the access codes. 175 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,165 It's the only way I could trace the access codes. 176 00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,701 If we could get to the root command 177 00:08:21,767 --> 00:08:24,000 we could introduce an invasive programming sequence 178 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,004 we could introduce an invasive programming sequence 179 00:08:25,071 --> 00:08:26,939 through its biochip system 180 00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:29,008 and then return it to the hive. 181 00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:30,000 The Borg are so interconnected, it would act like a virus. 182 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,744 The Borg are so interconnected, it would act like a virus. 183 00:08:31,811 --> 00:08:35,715 Which would infect the entire collective. 184 00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:36,000 We could disable their neural network at a stroke. 185 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,185 We could disable their neural network at a stroke. 186 00:08:39,252 --> 00:08:40,720 Infect it? 187 00:08:40,786 --> 00:08:42,000 You make it sound as if it's a disease. 188 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,623 You make it sound as if it's a disease. 189 00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:46,025 Quite right, Doctor. 190 00:08:46,092 --> 00:08:48,000 If all goes well, a terminal one. 191 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,529 If all goes well, a terminal one. 192 00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:00,000 If this works the way I think it will 193 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,240 If this works the way I think it will 194 00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:03,276 once the invasive program starts spreading 195 00:09:03,342 --> 00:09:05,077 it'll only be a matter of months 196 00:09:05,144 --> 00:09:06,000 before the Borg suffer total systems failure. 197 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,913 before the Borg suffer total systems failure. 198 00:09:06,979 --> 00:09:07,980 Comments? 199 00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,181 CRUSHER: A question. 200 00:09:09,248 --> 00:09:11,117 What exactly is total systems failure? 201 00:09:11,183 --> 00:09:12,000 DATA: The Borg are extremely 202 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,818 DATA: The Borg are extremely 203 00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:14,020 computer-dependent. 204 00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:16,255 A systems failure will destroy them. 205 00:09:16,322 --> 00:09:18,000 I just think we should be clear about that. 206 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,224 I just think we should be clear about that. 207 00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:20,726 We're talking about annihilating an entire race. 208 00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:22,561 PICARD: Which under most circumstances 209 00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:23,896 would be unconscionable 210 00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:26,565 but as I see it, the Borg leave us with little choice. 211 00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:28,601 I agree; we're at war. 212 00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:30,000 There's been no formal declaration of war. 213 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,904 There's been no formal declaration

But even in war there are rules. 220 00:09:39,912 --> 00:09:42,000 You don't kill civilians indiscriminately. 221 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,214 You don't kill civilians indiscriminately. 222 00:09:42,281 --> 00:09:44,317 There are no civilians among the Borg. 223 00:09:44,383 --> 00:09:46,319 Think of them as a single collective being. 224 00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:48,000 There's no one Borg who is more an individual 225 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,354 There's no one Borg who is more an individual 226 00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:49,789 than your arm or your leg. 227 00:09:49,855 --> 00:09:50,856

00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,045 and we have no hope of negotiating a peace. 243 00:10:13,112 --> 00:10:15,948 Unless that changes, we are justified in doing 244 00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:18,000 anything we
