CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 46271.5.
THE ENTERPRISE HAS ENTERED ORBIT OF DEINONYCHUS VII
BUT OUR SCHEDULED RENDEZVOUS WITH THE SUPPLY SHIP BIKO
HAS BEEN DELAYED FOR ANOTHER 48 HOURS.
IN THE MEANTIME, MANY MEMBERS OF THE CREW
ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DELAY
TO PURSUE THEIR OWN PROJECTS, MYSELF INCLUDED.
( playing mozart trio with clarinet and cello )
COMPUTER, STOP PLAYBACK.
CHANGE THE CLARINET TO AN OBOE.
CONTINUE RECORDING.
( door chimes )
COMPUTER, PAUSE PLAYBACK.
COME.
YES, GENTLEMEN?
CAPTAIN, WE'D LIKE YOUR PERMISSION
TO TAKE THE ENGINEERING COMPUTER
OFF-LINE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
WE'RE WORKING ON A NEW INTERFACE
THAT WOULD ALLOW DATA TO ACT AS AN EMERGENCY BACKUP
IN THE EVENT OF A SHIP-WIDE SYSTEMS FAILURE.
IN THEORY, MY NEURAL NETWORK
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN KEY SYSTEMS
UNTIL PRIMARY CONTROL IS RESTORED.
HMM, IT SOUNDS LIKE AN INTRIGUING EXPERIMENT.
I'LL BE INTERESTED TO SEE THE RESULTS.
PERMISSION GRANTED.
IT'S POSSIBLE WE MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO RUN
SOME SECONDARY SYSTEMS THROUGH DATA--
WEAPONS CONTROL, SENSOR...
YES, I GET THE IDEA, MR. LA FORGE.
THANK YOU. PLEASE PROCEED.
COMPUTER, BEGIN PLAYBACK FROM THE FIRST MEASURE.
( door chimes )
COMPUTER, PAUSE RECORDING.
COME.
JEAN-LUC, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING FOR BREAKFAST.
BREAKFAST?
THE PLAY.
AH, YES, WELL, IT'S A VERY INTRIGUING DRAMA
BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO LEARN A PART.
AND, UH, ANYWAY, I'M NOT MUCH OF AN ACTOR.
THAT'S NO PROBLEM.
OH?
WELL, YOU WOULDN'T BE PLAYING ONE OF THE LEADS.
OH.
IT'S A VERY SMALL PART-- ONLY TWO LINES.
REALLY?
IT'S THE ROLE OF THE BUTLER.
WELL, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT AND LET YOU KNOW.
YOU WOULD BE WONDERFUL, JEAN-LUC.
WE'RE REHEARSING TODAY AT 1:30.
COMPUTER, BEGIN PLAYBACK FROM THE FIRST MEASURE.
( door chimes )
COMPUTER, PAUSE RECORDING.
YES!
CAPTAIN, I AM SORRY TO INTERRUPT...
NO. PLEASE, MR. WORF, COME IN.
I WAS HOPING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THE BIKO'S DELAY
BY STAGING SHIP-WIDE SECURITY DRILLS.
I HAVE PLANNED A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE.
OH, YES, THIS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, MR. WORF.
BUT WE'LL BE TAKING ON NEW PERSONNEL
AT STARBASE 118 IN A FEW WEEKS.
SURELY, THE DRILLS CAN WAIT UNTIL THEN.
IN THAT CASE, I WILL USE THE TIME TO PERFORM
MAINTENANCE CHECKS ON THE FORWARD PHASER ARRAY.
MR. WORF, IS THERE SOME REASON
WHY YOU ARE TRYING TO GIVE YOURSELF MORE WORK?
NO, SIR. I SIMPLY WISH TO USE THE EXTRA TIME...
ENJOY YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE THE FREE TIME.
USE IT.
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU, SIR.
COMPUTER, CONTINUE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK ONCE MORE...
FROM THE TOP.
( electronic zaps and whirs )
( door opening )
FATHER!
WHAT DID HE SAY?
THE CAPTAIN SAW FIT TO RELEASE ME FROM MY DUTIES.
YOU MEAN YOU CAN GO?
I CAN GO.
SADDLE UP, FATHER.
SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER.
THESE ARE THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.
ITS CONTINUING MISSION--
TO EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS
TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE.

(birds cawing )
( dog barking distantly )
( creaking )
( jangling footsteps approaching )
( barking continues )
WHERE ARE WE?
DEADWOOD.
19TH-CENTURY EARTH.
THE ANCIENT WEST.
WHAT IS OUR FUNCTION HERE?
YOU ARE THE SHERIFF, AND I'M THE DEPUTY.
SO...
WE ARE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
RIGHT.
GEORDI?
MM-HMM?
I HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE NOT SHAVED.
ARE YOU ATTEMPTING TO GROW ANOTHER BEARD?
MATTER OF FACT, I AM, DATA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
AS IS THE CASE WITH MANY NATURAL GROWTH PROCESSES
IT IS DIFFICULT TO ENVISION THE END PRODUCT
BASED ON AN INTERMEDIATE STAGE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
GIVE IT A FEW MORE DAYS.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO NEED TO ACCESS
YOUR AUXILIARY INPUTS.
ONE MOMENT.
I MUST ADMIT, DATA.
I NEVER GET USED
TO SEEING YOU LIKE THIS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING ON SIMILAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
YET THEIR APPEARANCES DO NOT DISTURB YOU.
YEAH, BUT YOU'RE NOT JUST ANOTHER ELECTRONIC SYSTEM.
THANK YOU, GEORDI.
NOR ARE YOU JUST ANOTHER BIOLOGICAL ORGANISM.
ALL RIGHT, THAT SHOULD DO IT.
YOU READY?
YES.
ESTABLISHING COMPUTER LINKUP.
INTERFACE COMPLETE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO.
( whistle )
YOU WROTE THIS HOLODECK PROGRAM YOURSELF?
WELL, MR. BARCLAY HELPED A LITTLE.
I MUST HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH MR. BARCLAY.
( gunshot )
( dog barking )
( playing jaunty melody )
( indistinct conversation )
IF EVER I FIND THE VARMINT THAT DREW THIS
HE'LL BE SORRY HE EVER PUT PEN TO PAPER.
I'M TEN TIMES UGLIER THAN THAT, AIN'T I?
( laughing loudly )
SHUT UP.
YOU LAUGH SO MUCH, IT'S A WONDER
YOU AIN'T GOT FLIES IN YOUR MOUTH.
( laughing )
YOU'RE A VERY FUNNY MAN, SEÑOR ELI.
THAT'S THE BAD GUY.
HIS NAME'S ELI HOLLANDER.
THEY CALL HIM "THE BUTCHER OF BOZEMAN."
HE'S KILLED 23 MEN.
HE'S THE MEANEST AND THE TOUGHEST GUNSLINGER
IN THE WEST.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH HIM-- HE'S FAST.
SO I AM HERE TO APPREHEND HIM?
IF YOU CAN.
( piano music continues )
YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
IS THAT SO?
woman: Sakes alive! Did you see that?
YOU WILL COME WITH ME.
NO, NO, NO.
COMPUTER, FREEZE PROGRAM.
WHAT IS WRONG?
THAT WAS TOO EASY.
IT HAS TO BE HARDER TO BEAT THE BAD GUYS.
OTHERWISE, IT'S NO FUN.
COMPUTER, INCREASE PROGRAM DIFFICULTY TO LEVEL FOUR.
GO BACK TO WHERE MY FATHER AND I FIRST WALKED
INTO THE SALOON.
COME ON, FATHER.
( plays piano flourish )
( same melody plays )
IF EVER I FIND THE VARMINT THAT DREW THIS
HE'LL BE SORRY HE EVER PUT PEN TO PAPER.
I'M TEN TIMES UGLIER THAN THAT, AIN'T I?
( laughing loudly )
SHUT UP.
YOU LAUGH SO MUCH, IT'S A WONDER
YOU AIN'T GOT FLIES IN YOUR MOUTH.
( laughing )
YOU'RE A VERY FUNNY MAN, SEÑOR ELI.
WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
THEY DON'T WANT TO GET HIT BY THE BULLETS.
YOU... ARE UNDER ARREST.
WELL...
LOOKS LIKE SHERIFF WORF'S HERE TO ARREST ME.
THAT DON'T SOUND LIKE A BRIGHT IDEA...
...DO IT?
( cocking rifle )
YOU HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF COMMITTING A HOMICIDE.
IF YOU MEAN MURDER
THEN I GUESS I'M GUILTY.
I'VE KILLED 23 MEN, SHERIFF.
ONE MORE AIN'T GOING TO MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.
OF COURSE, SHOOTING SOMEONE AS UGLY AS YOU
COULDN'T BE CONSIDERED A CRIME, COULD IT?
WAS YOU BORN THAT WAY
OR DID YOUR MAMA MARRY AN ARMADILLO?
( laughing loudly )
SHERIFF, LOOK OUT!
I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE APPEAL OF THIS PROGRAM.
DON'T TWITCH A WHISKER, SHERIFF
'LESS YOU WANT A SHAVE.
OKAY, BOYS.
SADDLE UP!
BUT FIRST...
GET THEIR MONEY AND JEWELRY.
YOU ARE A MURDERER AND A THIEF.
A MAN'S GOT TO MAKE A LIVING.
( gunshot )
( drawls ): I SUGGEST YOU FIND A NEW LINE OF WORK.
I ASKED COUNSELOR TROI TO JOIN US.
SHE LOVES WESTERN STORIES.
YOU'LL REGRET THIS, STRANGER.
I AM NOW ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS THE LONG-RANGE SENSOR ARRAY.
FORWARD SENSOR ARRAY COMING ON LINE.
WE'RE GETTING A CLEAR SCAN.
I WILL PERFORM A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECK
ON THE STARBOARD INERTIAL DAMPING SYSTEM.
DAMPERS ON LINE.
MAINTENANCE CHECK IN PROGRESS.
DATA, I THINK WE'RE ONTO SOMETHING HERE.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO
WITH THE SECONDARY SYSTEMS.
TRY GRAVITATIONAL CONTROL.
INITIATING GRAVIT...
WHAT'S WRONG?
THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ENERGY FLUCTUATION
IN MY NEURAL NET.
I AM DISCONNECTING MY INTERFACE TO THE COMPUTER.
INTERFACE DEACTIVATED.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I HAVE EXPERIENCED A BRIEF POWER SURGE
IN MY POSITRONIC SUBPROCESSOR, BUT I AM FINE.
MAYBE THE INTERFACE CODING
ISN'T AS STABLE AS WE THOUGHT.
LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT
A COUPLE OF HOURS OF SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
BEFORE WE CAN TRY THIS AGAIN.
LET'S CHECK THE INTERFACE PROGRAMMING.
WHAT ARE HIS RIGHTS IN THIS CENTURY?
IS THERE A TRIAL, OR SHALL I EXECUTE HIM?
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HOLD HIM TILL THE U.S. MARSHAL COMES.
AND THEN WE'LL TAKE HIM TO RAPID CITY FOR A TRIAL.
FRANKLY, I DON'T THINK
I'LL BE AROUND HERE THAT LONG.
NOT AFTER MY OLD MAN HEARS ABOUT THIS.
WHAT "OLD MAN" ARE YOU REFERRING TO?
MY PA.
WHEN HE BREAKS ME OUT OF THIS TIN CAN
GRAVEDIGGER WILL BE WORKING OVERTIME.
YOUR PA IS NO MATCH FOR SHERIFF WORF.
YES, WHEN YOUR "PA" COMES, WE WILL BE READY FOR HIM.
( CHUCKLES ): YEAH.
Troi: He's right.
YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR THE HOLLANDERS.
I'M SURE THAT THE THREE OF US CAN HANDLE ANY PROBLEMS.
HOLD ON.
I WAS JUST PASSING THROUGH TOWN, SAW A LITTLE TROUBLE
AND THOUGHT I'D LEND A HAND.
BUT I AIN'T ONE OF YOUR DEPUTIES, SHERIFF.
COUNSELOR, I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME SUPPORT IN THIS MATTER.
DURANGO!
I'M CALLED DURANGO.
YES, UH, COUNSELOR DURANGO.
PERHAPS YOU WOULD CONSIDER
BECOMING A TEMPORARY DEPUTY.
FOR A PRICE.
$500.
ALEXANDER, WE REQUIRE LARGE AMOUNTS OF CURRENCY.
YES, SIR.
I'LL GO TO THE BANK AND MAKE A WITHDRAWAL.
DEANNA, HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THIS PERIOD
IN EARTH'S HISTORY?
MY FATHER USED TO READ ME STORIES
FROM THE ANCIENT WEST WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL.
I MUST ADMIT, I ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY THE PART
OF THE "MYSTERIOUS STRANGER."
OH!
YOU ARE SO BRAVE.
FACING DOWN THAT EVIL MAN
LIKE YOU DID.
WHY, THANK YOU, MS...?
ANNIE, YOU BIG GALOOT!
YOU BEST NOT FORGET THAT TONIGHT
'CAUSE I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU A BEEFSTEAK
AND SOME GOOSEBERRY COBBLER FOR DESSERT.
SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
AND I BOUGHT SOME SPECIAL CANDLES
FOR THE TABLE SETTING-- PURE BEESWAX.
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COME THIS EVENING.
I HAVE A PRISONER.
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON HIM FOR YOU, SHERIFF.
YOU TWO GO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
THAT'S VERY CONSIDERATE OF YOU
BUT I WOULD BE NEGLIGENT IN MY DUTIES IF I DID NOT STAY.
I AM SORRY, MS. ANNIE.
IT'S ANOTHER WOMAN, AIN'T IT?
IT'S THAT FLOOZY DOWN THERE
AT MISS LANGFORD'S HOUSE OF PLEASURE!
WHO?
YOU SURE GOT A WAY WITH WOMEN, SHERIFF.
( coughs )
COMPUTER, ACTIVATE PICARD MOZART TRIO, PROGRAM 1.
PLAY BACK TRACKS ONE, TWO AND THREE.
TEMPO ALLEGRO.
( music begins )
( sound glitches )
( tape fast-forwarding )
( "the slavonic dances" plays loudly )
COMPUTER, STOP PLAYBACK.
COMPUTER, IDENTIFY MUSICAL COMPOSITION.
PICARD MOZART TRIO, PROGRAM 1.
OKAY.
LET'S WORK THROUGH ACT TWO FROM THE BEGINNING.
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
( clearing throat )
"FELIS CATUS IS YOUR TAXONOMIC NOMENCLATURE.
"AN ENDOTHERMIC QUADRUPED
CARNIVOROUS BY NATURE..."
HOLD IT.
WILL, WHAT ARE YOU READING?
THE LINES. WHY?
THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT DIALOGUE.
"YOUR VISUAL, OLFACTORY, AND AUDITORY SENSES
CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR..."
I RECOGNIZE IT.
THIS IS DATA'S POETRY.
THE PLAY'S GONE.
I JUST KEEP GETTING MORE POETRY.
WELL, THE PADDS ARE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY.
IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM
WITH THE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL NET.
SOMEHOW, WHEN YOU TRIED TO CALL UP YOUR PLAY
THE COMPUTER ACCESSED DATA'S LITERARY FILES.
GEORDI, PERHAPS THIS PROBLEM
IS RELATED TO OUR INTERFACE EXPERIMENT.
HMM. WE'D BETTER RUN A LEVEL-2 DIAGNOSTIC
ON THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM
HAS SPREAD TO ANY OTHER SYSTEMS.
AND I WILL PERFORM A SELF-DIAGNOSTIC.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YOU WILL LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND THE PLAY?
OH, YEAH, DON'T WORRY.
IT'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
( MUFFLED MOANING )
( muffled gasp )
WE GOT HIM, JEFE.
WHERE'S MY BOY?
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE KIDNAPPED NOW.
COMPUTER, FREEZE PROGRAM.
HEY!
COMPUTER, FREEZE PROGRAM.
YOU WANT US TO KILL HIM, SEÑOR FRANK?
NO.
HE'S MORE VALUABLE TO US...
ALIVE.
FELINE SUPPLEMENT 127.
SPOT, I HAVE FORMULATED A NEW MIXTURE OF FOODS
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR HIGHLY-SELECTIVE TASTES.
( meowing )
I FIND IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
TO PREDICT WHAT YOU WILL FIND ACCEPTABLE.
PERHAPS HUNGER WILL COMPEL YOU TO TRY IT AGAIN.
( meowing )
SPOT, YOU ARE DISRUPTING MY ABILITY TO WORK.
( meowing )
( thick texas drawl ): VAMOOSE, YA LITTLE VARMINT!
( plays tinkling melody )
WHAT'LL IT BE?
I WAS LOOKING FOR MY DEPUTY.
PERHAPS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM.
NOPE.
WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?
UM...
KLINGON FIRE WINE.
( laughing )
THIS AIN'T KANSAS CITY.
WE AIN'T GOT NONE OF THAT FANCY EUROPEAN STUFF HERE.
MAYBE I SHOULD GET YOU A SHERRY.
AIN'T THAT WHAT THEY SERVE AT MISS LANGFORD'S?
IT IS, AIN'T IT?
AIN'T IT?
HUMPH.
( footsteps approaching )
( dog barking )
( music stops )
HOWDY, SHERIFF.
COMMANDER. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
THE NAME IS FRANK HOLLANDER.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
NOTHING.
NOTHING AT ALL, MR. HOLLANDER.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
MY BOY.
THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
YOUR SON IS TO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
WELL, THEN
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WORK SOMETHING OUT.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU... WANT
IN EXCHANGE FOR MY BOY?
YOU HAVE NOTHING I WANT.
IS THAT SO?
WHAT ABOUT YOUR... DEPUTY?
WHAT ABOUT HIM?
WHERE IS HE?
I DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH CRIMINALS.
YOUR SON WILL STAND TRIAL.
NOT SO FAST.
( YELPS )
COMMANDER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I AIN'T IN THE MOOD FOR GAMES, SHERIFF.
COMMANDER?
COMPUTER, FREEZE PROGRAM.
I WOULDN'T WALK OUT THAT DOOR IF I WAS YOU, SHERIFF.
( door opening )
WHAT'S WRONG?
THE HOLODECK SAFEGUARDS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING.
ALEXANDER'S IN TROUBLE.
MY GOD! YOU'VE BEEN SHOT.
COMPUTER, END PROGRAM.
TROI TO CAPTAIN PICARD.
TROI TO SECURITY.
THERE'S ANOTHER CHARACTER IN THE PROGRAM--
HOLLANDER'S FATHER.
AND HE LOOKS LIKE COMMANDER DATA.
DATA?!
BUT IT IS NOT DATA.
I-I CANNOT EXPLAIN.
I BELIEVE HE HAS TAKEN ALEXANDER.
Eli: Aw, now, isn't that a shame?
Poor sheriff's been injured.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WAS MY PA A LITTLE TOO ROUGH ON YA?
( laughing )
DATA?
WHAT?
WHY IS THE COMPUTER CREATING CHARACTERS
THAT LOOK LIKE DATA?
WHERE HAVE THEY TAKEN MY SON?
WHERE IS HE?
TEMPER, TEMPER, SHERIFF.
MY PA AIN'T GOING TO LIKE IT IF I COME HOME ALL BRUISED.
WORF, WAIT!
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER-- EVEN THOUGH
THE HOLODECK SAFEGUARDS MAY BE OFF
THIS IS STILL A PROGRAM.
IF WE CAN JUST GET TO THE END OF THIS STORY
THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO PLAY OUT
THE PROGRAM WILL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
I WILL BEGIN BY SPEAKING TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN.
PERHAPS SOMEBODY WITNESSED ALEXANDER'S ABDUCTION.
CAPTAIN'S LOG, SUPPLEMENTAL.
COMMANDER LA FORGE AND MR. DATA BELIEVE THEY HAVE FOUND
THE CAUSE OF THE MYSTERIOUS MALFUNCTIONS
WHICH HAVE BEEN PLAGUING THE SHIP.
WE THINK OUR INTERFACE EXPERIMENT MAY HAVE CAUSED
ONE OF THE COMPUTER'S CORE SUBROUTINES TO BE ALTERED.
WHEN THE INTERFACE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED
SUBROUTINE C-47 WAS REPLACED
BY ELEMENTS FROM MY PERSONAL PROGRAMMING.
WHAT DOES C-47 CONTROL?
LIBRARY COMPUTER ACCESS, REPLICATOR SELECTION
RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING. NO CRITICAL SYSTEMS.
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY YOUR MUSIC COMPOSITION PROGRAM
BEGAN PLAYING "THE SLAVONIC DANCES."
I HAVE BEEN ANALYZING
THE COLLECTED WORKS OF ANTON DVORAK.
IT'S THE SAME WITH DR. CRUSHER'S PLAY
AND WITH THE FOOD REPLICATORS.
THE REPLICATORS ON DECKS FOUR THROUGH NINE
ARE PRODUCING NOTHING BUT CAT FOOD.
CAT FOOD?
I HAVE BEEN FORMULATING
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR SPOT.
OH... WHEN CAN YOU CORRECT THE PROBLEM?
WE ARE CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO ISOLATE
THE CORRUPTED CIRCUIT PATHWAYS.
I RECKON THE PROCESS SHOULD TAKE
LESS THAN TWO HOURS.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID THE PROCESS SHOULD TAKE LESS THAN TWO HOURS.
NO. YOU SAID, "I RECKON."
ACCORDING TO MY MEMORY LOGS, I DID NOT USE THOSE WORDS.
( drawls ): Y'ALL MUST BE MISTAKEN.
THERE, DATA, YOU DID IT AGAIN.
( drawls ): DID WHAT?
UH... MR. LA FORGE
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD TAKE MR. DATA TO ENGINEERING.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE PROBLEM.
AYE, SIR.
( sighing )
( cards shuffling )
( tapping )
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?
( knocking )
I SPOKE TO SEVERAL WITNESSES
WHO SAW ALEXANDER BEING ABDUCTED
AS HE WAS LEAVING THE BANK BY ONE OF HOLLANDER'S MEN.
WE MUST BEGIN A SYSTEMATIC SEARCH OF THE TOWN.
WORF, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER PROBLEM.
I SAW ELI PLAYING CARDS.
HE WAS SHUFFLING THE WAY DATA DOES WHEN HE PLAYS POKER.
HE DOESN'T JUST LOOK LIKE DATA.
HE HAS DATA'S ABILITIES
WHICH MEANS HIS FATHER PROBABLY DOES ALSO.
( knocking )
I COME TO SEE MY BOY.
REMOVE YOUR WEAPON.
BETTER TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT GUN, SHERIFF.
YOU MIGHT BE SEEING IT AGAIN REAL SOON.
PA!
ELI!
HOW THEY TREATING YOU, BOY?
REAL BAD, PA.
AIN'T FED ME SINCE I GOT HERE
AND THAT SHERIFF'S BEEN
ROUGHING UP ON ME SOMETHING FIERCE.
DON'T YOU WORRY, BOY.
SHERIFF'S GOING TO PAY.
( whispers ): WHO'S THE STRANGER?
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE AIN'T SAID HER NAME
BUT SHE'S IN CAHOOTS WITH THE SHERIFF
AND SHE'S MIGHTY MEAN WITH THAT WINCHESTER.
YOU SIT TIGHT, BOY.
I'LL HAVE YOU HOME IN TIME FOR SUPPER.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY, SHERIFF
TO AVOID A UGLY SITUATION.
RELEASE MY BOY.
I HAVE RECONSIDERED YOUR OFFER.
I WILL RELEASE YOUR SON IN EXCHANGE FOR MY DEPUTY.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART.
MEET ME IN TWO HOURS.
YOU BE IN FRONT OF THE SALOON.
I'LL BE IN FRONT OF THE LIVERY STABLE.
STRANGERS AIN'T INVITED.
AGREED.
IN EVERY WESTERN I'VE EVER READ
THE VILLAINS ALWAYS BREAK THEIR WORD.
HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED.
BUT WE HAVE MADE AN HONORABLE AGREEMENT.
THEY'RE NOT CONCERNED WITH HONOR, WORF.
THIS IS THE ANCIENT WEST.
THERE'S A GUNFIGHTER OUT THERE
WHO HAS THE SPEED AND ACCURACY OF AN ANDROID
AND IN TWO HOURS, HE'S GOING TO TRY TO KILL YOU.
MR. DATA.
HOWDY, COMMANDER.
GEORDI, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND?
( drawl ): WELL, WE FIGURE PART OF MY MEMORY STRUCTURE
( in normal voice ): WAS REPLACED WITH INFORMATION
FROM THE COMPUTER'S RECREATIONAL DATABASE.
SPECIFICALLY, THE FILES RELATING
TO THE AMERICAN 19TH-CENTURY WEST.
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE ACCENT.
YOU GOT IT, PARDNER.
THIS IS A RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENTAL INTERFACE?
I'M AFRAID SO, BUT WE'VE INITIATED
A PROGRESSIVE MEMORY PURGE TO RESTORE DATA'S PROGRAMMING
TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE.
HE SHOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE COMPUTER'S RECREATIONAL DATABASE?
WE'VE STARTED A MEMORY PURGE THERE, AS WELL.
THAT SHOULD TAKE ANOTHER HOUR, MAYBE TWO.
COMMANDER... YOU JUST SIT TIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE THIS ALL FIXED UP IN TIME FOR SUPPER.
GOOD.
Worf: I will be positioned here
at the eastern end of the street.
Frank Hollander says he will approach from this end.
NOW, WHEN HE REACHES THIS POINT, HE WILL BE WITHIN RANGE.
UNDERSTOOD. WHAT ABOUT ALEXANDER?
WELL, THERE'S A RAIN BARREL IN FRONT OF THE SALOON.
IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO STOP THE BULLETS.
( knocking )
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WENT THROUGH
TO GET OLD MAN NEWSOME
TO GIVE UP HIS TELEGRAPH MACHINE.
AH...
EXCELLENT.
LORD KNOWS WHY I KEEP RISKING MY LIFE FOR YOU, SHERIFF.
( clearing throat )
OH, YES, UH, THANK YOU, MS. ANNIE.
I'M IN YOUR DEBT.
( clock chimes )
I HAVE CONNECTED THE COMMUNICATOR'S ENERGY CELL
TO SERVE AS THE POWER SOURCE.
HOW LONG WILL THE FIELD LAST?
NO MORE THAN 15 SECONDS.
IT IS HIGHLY UNSTABLE.
LET'S HOPE IT'S ENOUGH.
( bird cawing )
( dog barking )
( spurs jangling )
( dog barking )
ELI, GET DOWN!
ALEXANDER!
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
SEÑOR FRANK!
GO AHEAD, SHOOT ME.
DO NOT SHOW YOUR FACE IN THIS TOWN AGAIN.
LET'S GO.
( birds cawing )
FATHER!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
END PROGRAM.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
THE STORY SHOULD BE OVER.
WHAT'S LEFT?
COMPUTER, END PROGRAM.
Sheriff!
YOU'RE AS HANDY WITH A SHOOTIN' IRON
AS YOU ARE WITH A WOMAN'S HEART.
COMPUTER, END PROGRAM.
COMPUTER!
NOW!
CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 46278.3.
BOTH COMMANDER DATA AND THE SHIP'S COMPUTER
HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO NORMAL OPERATION.
OUR RENDEZVOUS WITH THE SUPPLY SHIP BIKO
HAS PROCEEDED AS PLANNED.
FATHER...
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED
I GUESS YOU'LL NEVER WANT
TO GO BACK TO THE ANCIENT WEST.
THE TOWN OF DEADWOOD MAY FACE DANGER ONCE AGAIN.
IF THEY DO, THEY WILL NEED A SHERIFF...
AND A DEPUTY.
