(Xindi-humanoid)
how much of the lab
was destroyed?

(Degra)
nearly all of it.

3 Of my researchers
were k*lled.

And what of your work, degra?

I haven't been able to assess
how much data was lost.

This will obviously delay us.

[Clicking]

Months, perhaps.
I'm not certain.

[Clicking]

They att*cked
a trellium mine.

We cannot wait any longer.

Think what you're
asking me to do:

Build a w*apon
to destroy

An entire world.

Do you understand
how difficult,

How dangerous
this project is?

Are you saying you're not
up to the task?

[Screeching]

I agree.

We are too far along
to change our plan.

Besides, we have
no alternative.

You know that isn't true.

That option has been
discussed and rejected.

[Clicking]

Perhaps it is time
to reconsider

Our colleagues' proposal.

We don't have
enough information
about the humans.

That can be remedied.

[Screeching]

I agree.

Degra deserves more time.

Is that sufficient pressure?

You could go a little harder.

Mmm, perfect.

Try that neck thing.
What do you call it?

The khavorta posture?

Yeah. That one.

Are you certain?

Don't worry. I've been
practicing my breathing.

[Inhaling]

You have been practicing.

T'pol...

Don't speak.

Relax your jaw.

Excellent.

Now the surah'than.

You know, I really
need to talk to you
about something.

Is there a problem?

No. No, no. I mean,
this feels great

And I really appreciate
you taking the time.
It's just...

I'm not sure we should be
doin' it anymore.

You said this was
helping you sleep.

It has.

Then why do you
want to stop?

People are talking.

About us.

About me coming
to your quarters at night.

They think there's more
going on than neuro-pressure.

And that disturbs you?

It shouldn't, I know, but...

Malcolm and I were purging
a clogged injector assembly
last week

And he asked me why
I didn't just massage it
with my magic fingers.

I see no reason to be
concerned with idle gossip.

It doesn't bother you?

We're both senior officers.

If we were pursuing
a romantic relationship,

It wouldn't be
lieutenant reed's concern,

Would it?

I suppose not.

Shall we continue?

[Chuckles]

[Archer murmuring]

[Grunting]

[Sighing]

[Sighing]

(Phlox)
you've been
scratching again.

The itching
kept me up all night.

Have you been using
the ointment I gave you?

I tried,

But the smell
is... Is a little strong.

The more you scratch,

The longer
it will take to heal.

I understand you may have
found a source of trellium-d?

A v'radian chemist we met
at the deuterium station

Claims he knows
a way to synthesize it.

I hope he's correct.
Crewman cutler broke her arm

When one of those
spatial anomalies

Went through
the exo-biology lab.

The sooner the ship
is insulated
against these phenomena

The happier I will be.

We're working
on it, doctor.

Of course.

Have you, uh,
had any other symptoms?

Just, um,

[Groaning]

Dreams.

I keep

Seeing myself back
at that alien city.

You were transformed
into a different species.

Don't expect
to recover overnight.

[Aliens chattering]

The chemist said his shop
is on barge 12.

[Animals squawking]

Phlox would have
a field day here.

I'm afraid we'll have to
save the souvenir hunting
for another time.

(Alien)
I don't recognize
your species.

You must be newcomers.
Welcome.

Thank you.

We're looking for barge 12,
a chemist named b'rat ud.

It would be a shame
if I let you leave our world

Without introducing you
to the local wildlife.

T-that's not necessary.

Xanthan marmots
make wonderful pets

And their flesh
is quite succulent
when prepared properly.

No, thank you.

Can you dire... Direct us
to the chemist?

Barge 12 is that way. Tier 2.

[Xanthan marmot chirping]

[Door opens]

I'm closed.

(Archer)
I have an appointment.

We met at
the deuterium station
on norellus.

You'll have to
come back later.

You said you could
sell us the formula
to synthesize trellium-d.

I hope you didn't bring us
all this way for nothing.

Captain archer.
I remember now.

How are you?

A little pressed for time.

Of course.

Trellium-a
is extremely common,

Easy to synthesize.

But trellium-d is rare,
difficult to process.

And expensive?

I'm confident we can agree
on a fair price.

I was thinking about you
recently, captain.

You were very eager to learn
about the xindi, as I recall.

What is your interest in them?

We're on
a diplomatic mission.

A diplomatic mission.

[Chuckles]

Some xindi
arrived here last week.

I thought you
might be interested.

Where can we find them?

They had business
with another merchant.

Who?

I'd be happy to direct you

For a small fee.

Commander tucker has the list
of supplies and equipment

We'd be willing to barter.
As a gesture of good faith,

Why don't you tell me
where we can find
this merchant

Then you and mr. Tucker
can work out the details.

I'm confident we can agree

On a fair price.

[Aliens chattering]

(Female alien)
do you like what you see?

To answer your first question,

I regret I cannot
offer free samples.

B'rat ud said
you might be able
to help us.

I always welcome referrals.

What is your pleasure?

We were told you've recently
done business with some xindi.

Excellent customers.

They purchased
2 u'tani serpent women.

I'm afraid
I don't have any more,

But perhaps
I could interest you

In a nuvian concubine.

She's quite skilled.

We're not interested.

I want to know
where I can find these xindi.

I believe they left orbit
2 days ago.

Where were they heading?

I wouldn't stay in business
for very long if I revealed

Confidential information
about my clients.

But I have females here
from many worlds.

Who knows?

Perhaps one of them
can tell you

What you want
to know about the xindi.

You have an excellent eye,
my friend.

She can be
very accommodating.

Archer.

(Trip)
captain, b'rat and I
have agreed on a price.

I'll need to go back
to the ship for his payment.

Understood.
We'll meet you back
at the shuttlepod.

How can you walk away
from such beauty?

Thanks for your time.

After an hour in this place,
I can't wait

To get back to decon.

[Crashing]

(Zjod)
stop her!

(Alien)
watch yourself!

Take me with you, please!

[Rajiin panting]

She seems determined
to be sold today.

Let's go back to my shop
and arrange for payment.

I don't think so.

Then I'll take
my merchandise.

Looks like she doesn't want
to go with you.

If you're so concerned
about what she wants, buy her.

[Groaning]
otherwise,
stay out of my business!

[Grunting]

[Both grunting]

Let's get out of here.

Gladly.

You have the most
intriguing eyes.

I've never seen
a retinal structure
this complex.

[Door opening]

How's our guest?

I'm not familiar
with her species

But, uh, she appears
to be in perfect health.

I'm afraid

I don't even know your name.

I'm called rajiin.

Very grateful for what
you've done, captain.

I'll serve you well,
I promise.

Let's get something straight.

We don't believe one person
can own another person.

You're free to go
wherever you'd like.

How far is your homeworld?

I don't know.

I'm told
it's called oran'taku,

But I don't remember it.

Do you have any family?

I've had many owners.

We have some data
on this region of space.

I'll see if I can
locate oran'taku.

If it's possible,
we'll take you there.

Set her up in quarters.
Get her whatever she needs.

Of course.

Captain.

Thank you.

On our planet,

Wars were fought
over these.

(Zjod)
mmm.

[Chuckling]

Careful.

[Snorting]

[Sneezes]

[Laughing]

What's this one called?

Black pepper.

Ooh!

There's paprika,
mustard seed.

I'm partial
to the cayenne myself.

I'm sure you'll find these
all very exotic.

I believe you have
something for us?

Of course.

I've reviewed
your engineering
specifications.

You appear to have
the necessary equipment

To produce liquid trellium-d.

Liquid?

Trellium can only be
synthesized

In a liquid state.

It's just as effective
as the natural ore.

Then all we need
is the recipe.

Uh, there is one thing.

Be sure to follow
the protocols precisely.

Or?

Let's just say that
in its liquid form,

Trellium-d is
extremely unstable.

[Zjod sneezing]

[Laughing]

How are your accommodations?

Much better
than I'm used to.

The last ship I was on,
I never left the cargo hold.

Except for a few visits
to the captain's quarters.

There are some
restricted areas
on enterprise.

Otherwise, feel free
to look around.

Your crew won't mind?

I seriously doubt it.

Are they all from earth?

Nearly all.

You met dr. Phlox,
he's from denobula.

And my first officer's
a vulcan.

Dr. Phlox mentioned you were
on an important mission.

We're trying to make contact
with a species called xindi.

I don't suppose you know
anything about them?

Very little.

The 2 I saw looked reptilian

And they weren't
very pleasant.

At the time,
I was just relieved

They weren't
interested in me.

Why are you
looking for them?

We're hoping to resolve
a disagreement.

(Trip over intercom)
tucker to captain archer.

Archer.

We're in business, sir.

I'll be right there.

Excuse me.

[Door closing]

(Archer)
how unstable?

Enough to do
some serious damage
if we screw this up.

And we're supposed to insulate
the entire ship with it?

It's only volatile
in its liquid form.

Once we apply it
to the inner hull

And it sets,
it's completely safe.

The tricky part's
cookin' it up
in the first place.

It'll require
extremely precise calculations

But I believe
mr. Tucker and I

Can synthesize
the compound safely.

Get started.

I recommend we set up
a lab on e-deck

Within
the emergency bulkheads,

As a precaution.

[Sighing]

[Doorbell beeping]

Come in.

Good evening, captain.

Is everything all right?

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I hoped you might
have time to talk.

Um...

I'm, uh, not quite, uh...

Please.

I meant to speak
with you earlier.

We have some good news.

T'pol was able to locate
your home planet

In a database
we acquired.

It's only 2 days away.

You don't seem very pleased.

I was taken away
when I was very young.

I don't remember
much about it.

And I doubt anyone there
would remember me.

You never know.

You seem very memorable to me.

I'm very grateful
for what you've done,
captain.

I want to repay you
for your kindness.

That isn't necessary.

I know.

Rajiin, you...

There's a reason I was taken
from my home.

I have certain gifts.

Would you like me
to show you?

That really isn't
something that...

It's all right.

(Rajiin)
captain.

Is something wrong?

No.

Well, I just wanted
to say thank you again.

We'll be leaving orbit soon.

Good night.

Good night.

What's
the molecular pressure?

Up to 1,100 units.

Boy, this stuff is tricky.

[Beeping]

Decrease
the theta bombardment
by 6%, no 7%.

The pressure's still rising,
1,400 units. 1,430.

Damn it!

[Trip sighing]

k*ll the theta radiation
altogether.

[Beeping continues]

No effect. We should seal off
this section and leave.

A sustained burst
of delta radiation
might do the trick.

And it might not.
We should evacuate.

I'm going to ramp
the delta to 80%.

It's not working.

You're welcome to leave.

The pressure is up
to 2,000 units.

[Warning alarm beeping]

Commander!

[Coughs]

Some of our calculations
may have been slightly off.

We're back to square one.

[Trip sighing]

We've been working
for 6 hours.

I suggest we take a break.

I can't argue with that.

Come to my quarters
in half an hour.

We'll resume your
neuro-pressure regimen.

I'll be fine.

I'd prefer you were rested

Before we make
another attempt.

Can I help you?

The captain said
it was all right

If I left my quarters.
I'm rajiin.

I know.

News travels fast
on a starship.

I'm ensign hoshi sato.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I was looking
for the mess hall.

I just happen to be
going that way.

What's your job here?

I'm the ship's
communications officer.

I see.

I'd love to hear
your language.

Actually I speak
quite a few.

(Rajiin)
you must be t'pol.

I didn't mean to startle you.

My name is rajiin.

I know who you are.

What are you doing here?

Your door was unlocked.

That's not likely.

I was hoping we'd have
a chance to talk.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar
with our protocols

But it is unacceptable

For you to be
in my quarters uninvited.

I didn't think you'd mind.

I'm afraid...
You're a vulcan.

On a ship filled with humans.

Why?

Vulcans and humans
are allies.

Now please leave.

What are you doing?

Don't resist.

I need you to leave.

You have a disciplined mind.

Such control
of your emotions.

Try to let go.

[Sighing deeply]

Better.

[Breathes deeply]

Stop.

Let go.

[Doorbell beeping]

[Beeping]

[Gasps]

[Grunts]

[Both grunting]

[Grunting]

[Doorbell continues]

No!

Tucker to the bridge.

(Woman over intercom)
go ahead.

Could you tell me
where t'pol is?

She's in her quarters, sir.

[Beeping]

[Grunting]

Tucker to security.

I need assistance.

(Xindi-reptilian)
were you successful?

I have what you want.
I can use their
transporter device

But you'll need to be
within 10,000 kilometers.

Signal us when you're ready.

Is there something wrong?

The captain would like
to see you.

There's no need
to bother the captain.

I have my orders.

So do i.

[Shushing]

[Sighing]

[Grunts]

Are you in range? Respond!

Leaving so soon?

(Archer)
we jammed your signal.

Your friends can't hear you.

Who are they?

Take her to the brig.

You should let me
run a neuro-scan.

I'll be fine.

What happened to her?

I can't even begin
to speculate.

She's suffered disruptions
throughout her neocortex.

If she were human
or denobulan for that matter,

She'd probably be dead.

But vulcan neurophysiology

Is a great deal
more resilient than ours.

I want to talk to her.

I have to finish
treating her injuries first.

How long?

A few hours.

Have phlox take a look
at your head.

[Beeping]

Who were you
trying to contact?

I'm sorry.

I asked you a question.

I can't answer it.

What did you do to t'pol?

She shouldn't have resisted.

Who are you?

I told you.
My name is rajiin.

That's right.

Kidnapped when
you were a child,

Sold into a life of sl*very.

And it was just a coincidence
that you happened to escape

When I was at that market.

The chemist knew I was
looking for information

About the xindi.

Is that why you showed up
so conveniently?

The only thing I can tell you
is that you're in danger.

Care to be
a little more specific?

If I say anything else,
they'll k*ll me.

Who? The xindi?

How do you know
I won't do the same?

It's true that
I deceived you.

But that didn't make
your decision to help me

Any less admirable.

I don't want
to see you harmed, captain.

The best thing for you
to do is let me go.

Tell me who you contacted.

Who?

[Intercom beeping]

(Reed)
bridge to captain archer.

(Archer)
go ahead.

2 Vessels are approaching
from aft.

Sir, the bio-signs match
the genetic profile
of the xindi pilot

Who att*cked earth.

Hull plating to full power,
stand by weapons.

The reptilian species.

They're the ones
who sent you.

I had no choice.

[Rumbling]

We're dropping out of warp.

I assume
they're here for you.

They won't harm anyone,
if you let me go.

Forgive me if I don't
take your word on that,

But they m*rder*d
7 million people on my planet.

(Reed over intercom)
bridge to the captain.

Go ahead.

The smaller ship
is approaching
the starboard docking port.

Seal that airlock
and post security teams.

I'm on my way.

What was your mission?

They wanted information.

About what?

About you.

They're building a w*apon.

We know that.

This is different.

A bio-w*apon.

Go on.

They need data
about your species

Before they can begin.

Where are they
building the w*apon?

I don't know.

When will it be ready?

I don't know.

They didn't tell me
anything else.

Get a security detail
down here.

No one's taking her anywhere.

Fall back!

[Grunts]

[Groaning]

3 Boarding parties,
at least 5 men each.

They're headin'
for the brig.

Try to cut 'em off.

You're with me.

[Weapons f*ring]

[Grunts]

[All groaning]

[Thudding]

[w*apon f*ring]

[High-pitched beeping]

[Grunting]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Panting]

[Beeping]

Archer to the bridge.

(Mayweather)
go ahead.

Don't let those ships
get away!

Lay in a pursuit course.

Aye, sir.

He's dead, sir.

(Mayweather over intercom)
captain.

Those ships just entered
some kind of vortex.

[Beeping]

They're gone.

[Panting]

This gland released
a fatal dose of neuro-toxin

Into his bloodstream.

What kind of species is born
with a su1c1de gland?

Not this one.
He was surgically enhanced

If you can call it
an enhancement.

I want a complete autopsy,
doctor.

And have malcolm
take this w*apon apart.

I want to find out
its range, power output,

And how we can
defend against it.

Aye, sir.

Are you ok?

Yes.
Good.

Because I want an analysis

Of the scans we took
of those xindi ships

And find out what you can
about that vortex
they went through.

I don't want them dropping in
unannounced again.

Dismissed.

You've put all
of our work at risk.

And exposed us
to the humans.

Allowed one of your soldiers
to be captured.

Ah! He wasn't taken alive.

You agreed
to give me more time.

You don't have enough data
to construct the bio-w*apon.

Don't we?

Bring her!

[Footsteps approaching]

Show them.

Show them.

We couldn't pursue
the bio-w*apon

Because we didn't have
enough information

About the humans.

Now we do.

[Xindi-aquatic screeching]

Do you expect us
to reward you

For this act
of insubordination?

This has left us
more vulnerable
than we were before.

There's more to these humans
than you can learn

From a set
of biometric scans.

That's enough!

Take her.
