PICARD: And how is Seven these days?
You know Seven.
There's always folks
out there in trouble.
What kind of assh*le needs to
be more important than that?
Show me your ugly Borg face!
SEVEN OF NINE: The medical
supplies you're attempting
to steal are the property
of the Fenris Rangers.
But you would like to be.
LARIS: When I first came to work here,
I saw you as a man who chose the stars.
After all this time,
I've come to wonder...
have you been seeking or running?
PICARD: Laris, last night...
- I was...
- You.
Nothing has to change.
It's too late for that, Jean-Luc.
What's the big hurry, Captain?
SOJI: And what about
you and you know...?
Yeah, I have to confess,
the whole "we can totally still"
"work together" thing made a
lot more sense back on Earth.
- It's so good to see you.
- You, too.
Welcome to the Stargazer.
Some kind of subspace anomaly.
Starfleet's ordered us to investigate.
- This is Admiral Jean-Luc Picard...
- LEGION: Picard.
RIOS: Warp vessel,

or you will be fired upon.
JURATI: The queen is actually coming.

There is no Stargazer.
What do you mean? What have you done?
Show them a world of their own making
and they ask you what you've done.
So human of you.
Q, have you had enough of playing games
with other people's lives?
I am no longer your pawn.
Oh, you undersell yourself, Jean-Luc.
You are more than just a piece.
Why, you're the very board
upon which this game is played.
And I am too old for your bullshit!
Old. Yes.
How unfair time is.
So many wrinkles.
So many disappointments.
What do you want, Q?
Will you come to the point?
- You want me to cut to the chase?
- Yes!
Well, the chase is cut,
Picard, the chase is bleeding,
the chase is dying in your arms.
And I am but a suture in the wound.
Are you...?
Q, you are not well.
Harvest was... this morning.
But...
Same day, same time.
Different harvest.
Q, I ask you once more.
And for the last time.
Where is the Stargazer and her crew?
I intervened.
You see, I thought to myself, I thought,
"I really must see Jean-Luc."
So I simply sought out
the nearest expl*si*n.
- What do you want, Q?!
- Oh, I could tell you,
but you're far too clever to listen.
- [SIGHS]
- That said, we're never too old
to be students of our
own behaviors, Jean-Luc.
I have had enough
of your stupid patronizing.

And I've had enough of your
obstinance, your stubbornness,
your insistence on changing in all ways
but the one that matters.
This is not a lesson.

This was... This was all my fault,

The-the... The Borg Queen was claiming
that Romulans had infiltrated the palace
with spies from a little-known sect
called the Qowat Milat,
or Final Stranglers
as they were known in the North,
and I postulated
it wasn't true,
but I-I didn't have any proof

I sent a coded message

k*ll! k*ll!
k*ll! k*ll! k*ll!
k*ll! k*ll! k*ll! k*ll!
La Sirena?
Agnes?
[EXHALES] Yes. Oh, my God, so sorry.
They clamped down hard for the ceremony.
Please tell me you still have
transporter locks on everyone.
Barely.
There must be some kind of inhibitor.
You'll need to boost everyone's
signal and then just open a tra...
Transporter window, I
know. I know. Raffi's on it.
Well, hurry.
Could you please stop
being so g*dd*mn impatient?
We're doing this now? Seriously?
Come on.
- I need your console. Now.
- OFFICER: Chief?
- What's going on?
- Damn Romulan
just confessed to uploading a virus.
So I brought him along
as a little present.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Merry Christmas, boys.
Targeting's down.
- [GRUNTING]
- Turrets are misidentifying friendlies.
We'll be wide open
unless I can scrape it out.
[CHANTING]: k*ll! k*ll! k*ll!
k*ll! k*ll! k*ll! k*ll!
SEVEN OF NINE: Tonight,
witness what awaits rebellion.
Insurrection.
Resistance.
Tonight,
we eradicate the Borg.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING]: Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard!
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
JURATI: You think maybe
it's your problem that this
whole man-on-the-move thing
is just because you feel
like you never fit in?
Says the woman who won't
share a single feeling.
Oh, I'll share a feeling
with you right now.
Synthetic cats, synthetic people...
With them, you're
intimate. Other humans?
[INHALES] They're the problem.
You know, I would hang
up on you right now
if it wasn't gonna get us all k*lled.
COMPUTER: Warning.
Palace shields deactivated.
What the hell are you doing?!
Elnor, they're yours.
[GRUNTING]
The admiral said to improvise.
Show-off.
Jurati, shields are down.
I bought us about a minute
before they reboot and raise.
Tell me we're good to go.
sh*t! sh*t!
I'd say that's not encouraging.
Yeah, yeah, I-I'm working on it!
CROWD [CHANTING]:
Picard! Picard! Picard!
Picard! Picard! Picard! Picard!
[CROWD MURMURING, CLAMORING]
[CROWD JEERING]
Come on, Jurati, we're out of time.
Jurati, you got ten seconds here!
Almost there.
[CROWD CLAMORING]
[CROWD BOOING]
MAN: k*ll her!
Seven, we may have to
fight our way out of here.
- MAGISTRATE: Get him off the stage!
- [w*apon FIRES]
[SCREAMS]
[CROWD CLAMORING]
Still can't get a lock, Agnes!
Ah, oh, boom! Yes! Oh!
How do you like that sh...?
Well, that was all kinds of terrible.
Uh, I could use some help up there.
On it.
- Raffi, deflector shields at maximum.
- Copy that.
COMPUTER: Deflector shields at maximum.
The main array access is here, right?
No, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
Don't-don't even remotely
consider connecting
that thing to my ship.
What the hell are you doing?
Rios, we need her to go back in time.
Time travel is not a way
to make me feel better.
About anything.
[ALERT SOUNDING]
RAFFI: They're on to us.
We got to move.
Whatever this is, it better work, Agnes.
It probably will.
- COMPUTER: Warning. Incoming ships...
- Rios!
PICARD: Captain Rios,
get us out of here!
COMPUTER: Warning.
Presidential override.
- Deflectors disabled.
- Wait, what?
[GRUNTS]
- No!
- Elnor!
Uh-uh.
[GASPING, GURGLING]
MAGISTRATE: I wonder...
what a trophy of your head will say?
How about "Jean-Luc Picard,
traitor"?
"k*lled while rescuing a Borg."
