1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,515
Captain's log, star date 44741.9.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,997
We have arrived at Tagus III, where
the Enterprise will serve as host

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,749
for the Federation Archaeology
Council's annual symposium.

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,393
I look forward

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,479
to giving tomorrow's keynote
address with great anticipation.

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,555
Come!

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,393
The Council members have beamed
aboard and been assigned quarters.

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,112
Excellent.

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,391
Captain, it really is quite late.

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,116
About my lecture, what do you think
will give the greater clarity?

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,992
A chronological structure

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,079
or the division of each expedition's
findings into religious,

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,431
sociological and environmental
sub-groupings?

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,711
Didn't you decide
on a chronological structure?

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,112
There's something to be said
for a more scientific approach.

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,357
- May I make a suggestion?
- By all means.

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,234
Relax.
You've written a brilliant speech.

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,559
It will need to be.

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,992
I'm addressing the greatest
scientific minds in the Federation.

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,271
Switzer, Klarc-Tarn-Droth,
McFarland!

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,349
Giants in archaeology! Compared
to them, I'm just an amateur.

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,632
I doubt they see you as an amateur.
Not when it comes to Tagus III.

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,593
Well, it's true,
I have done my homework.

24
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,397
I have examined the findings of every
expedition conducted on the planet.

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,752
It is unfortunate the Taguans no
longer allow visitors to the ruins.

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,429
Especially since we know
so little about their origins.

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,873
But I think I have constructed
some plausible theories of my own.

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,753
I'm sure the Council members
will agree.

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,950
Your support is appreciated.

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,196
Now, goodnight, Captain.

31
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,830
Bring back any memories?

32
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,109
Vash!

33
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,752
How did you get in here?

34
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,550
I came in through the window.

35
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,398
Space, the final frontier.

36
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,839
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

37
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,112
Its continuing mission,
to explore strange new worlds,...

38
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,596
..to seek out new life
and new civilizations,...

39
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,349
..to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

40
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,269
I had no idea you were a member
of the Archaeology Council.

41
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,395
- You are a member, aren't you?
- More or less.

42
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,791
Why did you come to Tagus III?

43
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,434
To see you, of course.

44
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,438
- Is that the only reason?
- Isn't it enough?

45
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:20,998
I wish I could believe you.

46
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,516
I really have missed you.

47
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,038
Excuse me.

48
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,998
Sorry I'm late.

49
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,513
Excuse me.
I didn't realize you had company.

50
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,915
That's alright. Let me introduce you.

51
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,315
This is Beverly... Dr Beverly.

52
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,874
Dr Beverly Crusher. This is Vash.

53
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,355
A friend
from the Archaeology Council.

54
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,508
Sorry to interrupt. The Captain and I
often share morning tea together.

55
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,110
Yes, I know.
Jean-Luc has told me all about you.

56
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,912
Really?

57
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,719
When was that?

58
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:16,230
- On Risa, where we met.
- I see!

59
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,397
That must have been
during your vacation last year.

60
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,511
No. Yes!

61
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,868
Yes.

62
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,709
Well,
I am surprised he didn't mention you.

63
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,308
So am l.

64
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,837
- Doctor, are you busy?
- Not at the moment.

65
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,475
I'd love to see some more
of this marvellous ship.

66
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,034
I'd be delighted to show it to you.

67
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,673
I...

68
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,315
That is,
if it's alright with you, Jean-Luc.

69
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,038
Of course.

70
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,117
Don't worry.
I promise to behave myself.

71
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,594
And this is ten-forward,
where the reception will be held.

72
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,953
I can't think of a better location.
Does Jean-Luc come here often?

73
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,351
Not often. The Captain
is a very private man.

74
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,552
- Would you like something to drink?
- Please.

75
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,157
- Eternity never looked so lovely.
- Excuse me?

76
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,876
I was referring to the view.
Eternity never looked so lovely.

77
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,316
You must be Cmdr Riker.

78
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,474
- You have me at a disadvantage.
- I didn't mean to interrupt.

79
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,273
I believe you were about
to tell me that

80
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,676
my eyes are as mysterious
as the stars.

81
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,674
You're Betazoid.

82
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,715
Not at all. It's just that Jean-Luc
does a very good imitation of you.

83
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,558
He does?

84
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,231
- I see you two have met.
- Not exactly.

85
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,830
This is Vash, a member
of the Archaeology Council.

86
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,032
- and a friend of the Captain's.
- So I gather.

87
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,037
They met on Risa.

88
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,835
On Risa? That vacation
must have been better than he let on.

89
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,872
You mean he never mentioned me
to you, either?

90
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,150
Dr Crusher, report to sickbay.

91
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,272
I'm afraid
I won't be able to finish our tour.

92
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,277
But perhaps Cmdr Riker
could take over for me?

93
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,152
It would be my pleasure.

94
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,716
This is the main bridge,
the command centre,

95
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,159
and our last stop.

96
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,590
Vash, Cmdr La Forge, Cmdr Data.

97
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,153
- Hello.
- How do you do?

98
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,077
And this is Lt Worf.

99
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,555
- Hello.
- Something wrong?

100
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:03,229
Council members have not
been granted bridge clearance.

101
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,638
We can make an exception.
Vash is a guest of the Captain.

102
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,712
- Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.

103
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,038
- Is this where Jean-Luc sits?
- That's the big chair.

104
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,833
Well, I can see where being
a starship captain has its rewards.

105
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,832
I'm glad that you approve.

106
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,677
I'll go to my room
and get ready for the reception.

107
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,392
By all means.

108
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,470
Well, I suppose
I'll see you then... then.

109
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,870
I'll look forward to it.

110
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,513
Fascinating woman.

111
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,314
I thought being ship's Counsellor
meant the Captain confided in you?

112
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,193
He does,
when he thinks it's necessary.

113
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,675
And he never spoke to you about me?

114
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,713
- Not that I recall.
- Not even a hint?

115
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,593
You must understand
the Captain is a very...

116
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,678
..private man. I know.

117
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,550
- Excuse me.
- Of course.

118
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,831
Nice legs.

119
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,154
For a human.

120
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,036
Jean-Luc, we need to talk.

121
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,796
Excuse me.

122
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,909
- The reception's going well.
- Forget that for a moment.

123
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,316
Why have you never mentioned me
to your friends?

124
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,034
- What should I have said?
- That we met,

125
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,515
had an adventure together,
some fun.

126
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,915
- It wouldn't be possible.
- Why not?

127
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,190
It would be inappropriate.

128
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,551
I wasn't expecting you
to go into intimate details.

129
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:29,071
A captain does not reveal
his personal feelings to his crew.

130
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,671
Is that a Starfleet regulation,
or did you make that up yourself?

131
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,038
I'm sorry if you're upset.

132
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,515
And I'm sorry if I embarrass you.

133
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,955
- How was the reception?
- Splendid.

134
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,273
Jean-Luc, wonderful to see you again.
How about a big hug?

135
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,075
- Don't stand there. Say something.
- Get out of my chair!

136
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,594
And I was hoping
for something more like,

137
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,234
"Welcome back, Q, my old friend."

138
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,558
- We're not friends!
- You wound me, mon capitaine.

139
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:24,468
There. Perhaps now
your manners will improve.

140
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,718
Why are you here? Have the Continuum
banished you once again?

141
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,469
Hardly! They're still apologizing
for the last time.

142
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,828
What do you want?

143
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,918
Do I always have to have a reason
to stop by?

144
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,315
I was merely in the sector, I was...

145
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:45,076
You force a confession from me.
The truth is, I have a debt to repay.

146
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,031
- A debt?
- To you.

147
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,119
And it gnaws at me and
it interferes with each of my days.

148
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,117
What are you talking about?

149
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,755
Without your assistance
I would never have survived.

150
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,110
I would have taken my life
but for you.

151
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,878
We all make mistakes.

152
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,913
Your good deed made possible
my reinstatement in the Continuum,

153
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,031
and I resent owing you anything.

154
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,837
So I'm here to pay up. Tell me, what
is it you wish? And I'll be gone.

155
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,349
Just be gone. That'll do nicely.

156
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,836
No, no! It must be something
more constructive.

157
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,997
- That's my new word for the day.
- Another time, Q.

158
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,872
I have matters to attend to.

159
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,516
Your speech? I read it. It's dull,
plodding, pedantic, like yourself.

160
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,669
- I could help you with it.
- No, thank you.

161
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,715
You've never been to the ruins
at Tagus III, have you?

162
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,471
No. They were sealed off
over a century ago.

163
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,717
Well, that explains it, then.

164
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,389
How can you write about something
that you've never seen?

165
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,715
I know! Why don't I take you there?

166
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,876
Out of the question.
We'd be breaking Taguan law.

167
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,313
Must you always be so ethical?
We could travel back in time.

168
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,830
You could see Tagus
as it was two billion years ago.

169
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,396
They really knew
how to party back in those days.

170
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,999
My answer is still no.

171
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,194
My lecture will have to stand
on its own. Now please leave my ship!

172
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,756
You are the most impossible
person to buy a gift for!

173
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,352
Cmdr Riker,
will you report to my ready room?

174
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,670
Yes, Captain?

175
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,314
I've just been paid a visit from Q.

176
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,228
Q? Any idea what he's up to?

177
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,272
He wants
to do something nice for me.

178
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,798
I'll alert the crew.

179
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,594
Captain.

180
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,998
- Who's there?
- It's me.

181
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,317
- Who?
- Jean-Luc.

182
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,470
- Yes?
- May I come in?

183
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,915
Let me try to explain. I...

184
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,591
I am by no means embarrassed
by your presence here.

185
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,915
On the contrary.

186
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,152
What's this? A map of the ruins?

187
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,508
I thought that I was the only reason
you came to Tagus.

188
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,313
I never fooled you for a second.

189
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,519
Still,
you are the most important reason.

190
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,834
Am l?

191
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,955
That's the problem
with being such a well-known liar.

192
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,277
Even when I'm telling the truth,
no one believes me.

193
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,116
These have to be confiscated.

194
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,310
Is that necessary?

195
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,675
If the Taguans caught you there...

196
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,395
Come on! You gave me
the same warning about Sarthong V.

197
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,556
- I remember.
- It didn't stop me.

198
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,319
I brought back
some impressive artefacts!

199
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,034
And sold them
for an impressive profit?

200
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,832
That's what I do!

201
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,554
Not on board my ship.
I will not allow it!

202
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,071
Get one thing straight. I cannot
change who I am for you or anyone.

203
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,270
Nor can I change who I am.

204
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,909
Then we have nothing more to say.

205
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,118
So it would seem.

206
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,519
Sleeping alone?

207
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,234
I'm in no mood
for your foolishness, Q.

208
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:40,954
There's something different
about you.

209
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,152
You seem tense, preoccupied,
somewhat smaller.

210
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,750
I thought it was your
horrible lecture, but I was wrong.

211
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,714
Whatever your game is
it will have to wait till tomorrow.

212
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,912
I had such high hopes for you,
Picard.

213
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,828
I thought you were more evolved
than the rest of your species.

214
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,032
But now I realize
you're as weak as all the others.

215
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,995
Still, it pains me to see the great
Picard brought down by a woman.

216
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,432
What woman?

217
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,199
Don't play coy with me, Captain.

218
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,039
I witnessed
your little spat with Vash.

219
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,391
Nor will I forget the anguish
on your face. The pain, the misery.

220
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,514
If I didn't know better, I'd have
thought you were already married.

221
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,110
Your imagination
is running away with you!

222
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,037
This human emotion, love.

223
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,233
It's a dangerous thing
and you're ill-equipped to handle it.

224
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:44,151
She's found a vulnerability in you,
something I've looked for for years.

225
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,909
If I'd known sooner,
I would have appeared as a female.

226
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,269
Mark my words, Picard.
This is your Achilles heel.

227
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,799
Believe what you wish.

228
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,832
Do you deny
that you care for this woman?

229
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,158
I'd be doing you a favour
if I turned her into a Klabnian eel.

230
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,239
- Stay away from her, Q!
- I was just trying to help.

231
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:13,033
- My debt to you...
- Is hereby nullified!

232
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,311
I don't want your help,
your advice, your favours,

233
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,876
or, for that matter, you.
Understand? Once and for all!

234
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,634
You'd have me stand idly by
as she led you to your destruction?

235
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,715
Yes!

236
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:29,316
As you wish.

237
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,917
Ladies and gentlemen, members
of the Archaeology Council, welcome.

238
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,752
Mystery.

239
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,830
It is the mystery of Tagus III
that brings us here together today.

240
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:04,715
It is a mystery that has invited
more argument, more deduction,

241
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,515
more speculation
than the best works of fiction.

242
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,552
And, if you will excuse the conceit,

243
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,832
I want to tell you
about my detective story.

244
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,476
For several years, I've tried
to unravel the secrets of Tagus III.

245
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,158
I've not succeeded.

246
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,274
However, I have found some new
information that, if nothing else,

247
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,996
only raises a new set of mysteries
which I hope we can discuss together.

248
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:37,148
There have been 947
known archaeological excavations

249
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,157
on the planet's surface.

250
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:45,037
Of those, 74 have revealed
findings of major importance.

251
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,517
The earliest
was some 22,000 years ago.

252
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,393
What the hell...?

253
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:07,473
Q!

254
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,716
Is this Tagus III?

255
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,354
I doubt there are many oak trees
on Tagus.

256
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,677
No. I think
this is supposed to be Earth,

257
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,793
somewhere
round about the 12th century.

258
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,710
This is England, or to be precise,
Q's recreation of Sherwood Forest.

259
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,637
That explains the costumes.

260
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,435
Right, Number One.
Or should I say John Little.

261
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,028
If he's Little John,
that makes you...

262
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,230
I know! Robin Hood.

263
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:47,035
Sir, I protest! I am not a Merry Man!

264
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,991
On the contrary, Lt Worf,

265
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:52,112
your clothing identifies you
as Will Scarlet.

266
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,550
Geordi's mandolin
identifies him as Alan-a-Dale.

267
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,195
You, Mr. Data, bear a striking
resemblance to Friar Tuck.

268
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,918
I will not play the fool
for Q's amusement!

269
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,878
I have you at last, Robin Hood.

270
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,311
Quick, into the forest!

271
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,550
Mr. Worf, that's an order!

272
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,632
Enough, you fools!

273
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,194
We'll never find them
in the greenwood.

274
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,670
I've managed to stop the bleeding.

275
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,952
Q! It's about time you showed up.

276
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,392
I would prefer you to address me
as the High Sheriff of Nottingham.

277
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,432
We will not share
in this pointless fantasy!

278
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,551
Fine! Stay here and do nothing.

279
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,673
By midday tomorrow, your crew
will be safely aboard their ship.

280
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,554
But you'll have to accept
the consequences of your inaction.

281
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,308
Consequences?

282
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,876
What is the one thing
that Robin Hood is most famous for?

283
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,036
He robs the rich to give to the poor.

284
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,798
Besides that.

285
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,757
Perhaps you refer to the rescue of
Maid Marian from Nottingham Castle?

286
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,233
Yes, Data!

287
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:02,114
And it just so happens
Sir Guy of Gisbourne has decreed

288
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,550
Maid Marian's head
shall come off tomorrow at noon.

289
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,797
- Vash!
- It's your choice, Robin.

290
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,673
Either take your ease
in this sylvan glade

291
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,349
or risk your life to save the woman
you care nothing about.

292
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,835
My feelings for Vash are irrelevant.

293
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,952
I would try to save
any innocent life, as you know.

294
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,757
What about your Merry Men? Will you
jeopardize their lives as well?

295
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,715
Is Vash's life worth more
than Data's or Troi's or Worf's?

296
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,594
Worf, you'd make a perfect throw rug
in Nottingham Castle.

297
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,039
Q, end this before someone gets hurt!

298
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,354
That's impossible.

299
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,995
I've given this fantasy,
as you call it, a life of its own.

300
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:48,430
I have no more idea what will happen
than you do.

301
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,189
But of one thing
I am absolutely sure.

302
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,993
If you dare come
to Nottingham Castle,

303
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,714
blood will be spilt.

304
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,718
You'll wear yourself out
with all that pacing, milady!

305
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,071
I told you to stop calling me that.
The name is Vash.

306
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,079
My poor lamb. You've got
a brain sickness, for sure!

307
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,112
Can't I get something
to ease your suffering?

308
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,912
I could use a drink.

309
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,830
I wasn't thinking of spirits,
but I've some nice fresh leeches.

310
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:37,749
- To drain the fever.
- Out! Get out!

311
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,032
- Her mind's in a turmoil, Sir Guy!
- Who the hell are you?

312
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,075
Milady, everyone in Nottingham knows.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne!

313
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,431
- Sir Guy of what?
- Leave us.

314
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,557
Do not mock me, Lady Marian.

315
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,593
I'm prepared to offer you
one last chance to change your mind.

316
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,834
Will you marry me?

317
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,675
I see.

318
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,872
Then the execution
will proceed as scheduled.

319
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,638
What execution?

320
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,390
I warn you.

321
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,479
This pathetic feigning of madness
will not save your life.

322
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,628
You mean I'm the one being executed?
Sir Guy, wait a minute!

323
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,990
Couldn't we talk this over?

324
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,157
I admit,
I haven't been myself lately.

325
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,192
Maybe we've both been a bit hasty?

326
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:42,315
Please?

327
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,078
Sorry.

328
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,073
Data!

329
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,553
Are you alright?

330
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,435
The arrow impacted
above my sixth intercostal support,

331
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,154
penetrating
my secondary subprocessor.

332
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,431
Fortunately,
my biofunctions seem unaffected.

333
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,395
Do not be concerned, Counsellor.
I believe your aim is improving.

334
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:59,156
We must get out of here, Captain.

335
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,717
Not "we", Number One.
You must all stay here till I return.

336
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,914
- You're going to save her yourself?
- It's not a mission. It's personal.

337
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,032
It's between Q and me.
I don't want you involved.

338
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,073
- Captain!
- You have your orders, Commander.

339
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,668
And I expect you to follow them!

340
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,956
A touch sharper, shall we?

341
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,795
Such benevolence! Allowing
the prisoner a breath of fresh air?

342
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,956
You're mistaken, Sheriff.

343
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,516
- Maid Marian promises to be my wife.
- What?!

344
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,313
- But that's impossible!
- Not at all.

345
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:03,072
Though I admit a maiden
seldom wins such a noble husband.

346
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,391
A toast.

347
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,638
To the most beautiful bride-to-be
in the whole of England.

348
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,514
Don't drink that! It could be poison.

349
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,189
- Have you gone mad?
- A foul scheme of Robin Hood's.

350
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,313
- She's in league with him.
- Robin Hood?

351
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,315
Robin Hood!
Well, that was over long ago.

352
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,398
You're still in love with him!

353
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,479
That's a lie! He bewitched me.
He put me under some evil spell.

354
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,068
I suspected as much.

355
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,590
Add sorcery to the list of charges
against that rogue.

356
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,234
If anyone's bewitched here, it's you.

357
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,509
Silence!

358
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,952
Any more impudence
and it'll be your head on the block!

359
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,274
Guard!

360
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,399
Escort Lady Marian to her chamber.

361
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080
I'd rather stay here with you.

362
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,035
Of course you would, my child!
But I have important business.

363
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,076
- Lovely creature!
- Intriguing.

364
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,311
One step closer, I'll scream!

365
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,878
- Vash, damn it, it's me!
- Jean-Luc!

366
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,117
You won't believe
what I've been going through!

367
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,916
Suddenly, I'm in Nottingham.
They were gonna chop my head off.

368
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,235
Now I have to marry this Sir Guy,

369
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,432
and everyone insists
on calling me Marian!

370
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,472
- Yes, I know.
- You do? But how?

371
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,912
You're Robin Hood!

372
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,749
My staff and I were brought here
by an old adversary, Q.

373
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,474
I'll tell you more when we're safe.
Quick!

374
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,558
- The others are outside?
- Back in the forest.

375
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,511
- You came alone?
- Right.

376
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,200
- What kind of plan is that?
- A good one.

377
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,312
- You know our lives are at stake?
- Only too well.

378
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,477
Your best strategy
is one man against a castle?

379
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,919
You have a better one?

380
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,989
- How about you go and I stay here?
- And do what?

381
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,510
- Marry Sir Guy if I have to.
- That's brilliant!

382
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,076
If there's a way to escape,
I'll find it eventually,

383
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,031
with my head still attached!

384
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,709
- You believe I'd leave you here?
- I can look after myself.

385
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,673
You are the most stubborn woman
I ever knew.

386
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,752
There'll be no escape this time,
Robin Hood!

387
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,472
Stay behind me.

388
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,916
- You should have left.
- Well done, my dear.

389
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,554
Consider it my wedding gift, darling.

390
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,553
Congratulations, Sir Guy.
You've snared the jackal.

391
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,638
It's Marian who deserves the credit.

392
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,116
Took him with his own sword.

393
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,795
- You sent for me, milady?
- Take this to Robin's men.

394
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,674
Me, go to Sherwood Forest
at this time of night?!

395
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,679
- Leave immediately.
- But it's dark. I'll get lost.

396
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,032
And it's not safe, with all them
hedge robbers lurking about.

397
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,471
Please. This is urgent.

398
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,194
You'd be better off with Sir Guy.

399
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,108
He has a future. You'll be living
in London afore long!

400
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,879
You must go, or they'll kill him!

401
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,195
Out!

402
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,311
How dare you barge in!

403
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,749
I wish to apologize
for my harsh words.

404
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,271
- I'd no idea you were so ruthless.
- Most gracious of you!

405
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,676
I admit I was surprised,
but no more than Jean-Luc.

406
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,676
You're Q!

407
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,749
Yes. And you are
a very interesting woman.

408
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,554
What is this?

409
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,434
- Give that to me!
- A letter to Riker!

410
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:17,830
"Quick! Come to the castle.
Save the Captain." This is wonderful!

411
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,589
What marvellous duplicity.
You certainly fooled Sir Guy.

412
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:24,951
Me, as well!
I think you're worth further study.

413
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,559
Am l?

414
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,195
Unfortunately,
we just don't have the time.

415
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,548
Guards!

416
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:40,477
Take this traitor away! It appears
there'll be a double execution.

417
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,472
- This whole thing is your fault.
- My fault?!

418
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:12,999
Yes, your fault.

419
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,715
If you hadn't grabbed my sword,
we'd be in Sherwood now.

420
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,752
I grabbed your sword
to stop you being killed.

421
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,633
Really? Not as a wedding present
for Sir Guy?

422
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,399
You know I wouldn't go through
with that.

423
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,638
- Do l? You shouldn't interfere.
- You're the one interfering!

424
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,638
- I was rescuing you!
- Next time, don't bother.

425
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,196
- I won't.
- Don't you two ever stop arguing?

426
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,791
Tell me, Robin, as you face the
termination of your insect existence,

427
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,230
do you see what brought you
to this end? Was she worth it?

428
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,351
Can we just get this over with?

429
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,278
Are you implying
that I'm not worth it?

430
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:55,157
Q, your game was for my benefit.
She is innocent in all of this.

431
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,874
She is many things,
none of them innocent.

432
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,195
- Let her go!
- Jean-Luc, you do care!

433
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,073
A gallant gesture, Robin,
but a futile one.

434
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,034
Farewell. I hope the two of you
are happy together.

435
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,948
You have been found guilty
of outlawry and high treason.

436
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,516
Anything to say
before sentence is carried out?

437
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,679
- I...
- Prepare them for the block!

438
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,910
There are too many of them.

439
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,032
Data, we need a diversion now.

440
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,636
Guards! Take Marian to the tower!

441
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,037
I'll have you know I'm the greatest
swordsman in all of Nottingham.

442
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,153
Very impressive!

443
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,075
There's something you should know!

444
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,592
- And what would that be?
- I'm not from Nottingham.

445
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,836
Jean-Luc!

446
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,637
It's over, Q!

447
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,637
Get us out of here!

448
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:55,188
My compliments, Picard. Robin Hood
himself couldn't have done better.

449
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,552
- If you've hurt any of my people...
- Sadly enough, they're all fine.

450
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,150
My point is, they might
have been killed. So might you.

451
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,070
All for the love of a maid.
My debt to you, Picard, is paid,

452
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,555
If you've learned how weak you are,

453
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,116
if you see how love
brings out the worst in you...

454
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:18,233
You're absolutely wrong!
It's brought out the best in him.

455
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:24,595
His nobility, courage,
self-sacrifice, tenderness...

456
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:28,110
You're good. You're really good!

457
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:29,992
Enough of this!

458
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,718
Indeed.

459
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,918
- Is everyone here?
- Where's Vash?

460
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,508
Computer,
locate Council Member Vash.

461
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,950
Council Member Vash
is not aboard the Enterprise.

462
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,758
Hello, Jean-Luc.

463
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,512
This is a relief.
I thought Q had found you...

464
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,428
- He had things to discuss with me.
- Indeed?

465
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,916
Surprised he's not
gloating over his victory.

466
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,792
He was right about one thing.

467
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,755
As ridiculous as it was, his game
did prove that you still care.

468
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,759
I may not show my feelings
to my crew, but I do have them.

469
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,197
I'll miss you, Jean-Luc.

470
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:49,268
- So, where are you off to now?
- I haven't made up my mind.

471
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,553
She has the entire universe
to choose from.

472
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,910
- Meet my new partner.
- Him?

473
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,588
- Why not?
- I'll tell you why not!

474
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,715
Jean-Luc, let's not be unkind.

475
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:07,516
He's devious, amoral, unreliable,
irresponsible and...

476
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,791
- ..and definitely not to be trusted!
- Remind you of someone you know?

477
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,677
As a matter of fact, it does.

478
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:24,999
We're going to have fun. I'll take
her places no human has ever seen.

479
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,554
Who can resist an offer like that?

480
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,795
As payment in full of your debt
to me, you will guarantee her safety.

481
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,708
She will not be harmed,
I promise you that.

482
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,035
Are you going to kiss her goodbye?

483
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,028
Alright.

484
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,551
Well? Aren't you?

485
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,319
I'm sorry.

486
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,832
I forgot my hat.

487
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,915
Goodbye, Jean-Luc.
