Star Trek: Enterprise (2001–2005): Season 1, Episode 11 - Cold Front - full transcript

This wasn't part
of our agreement.

You failed in your last mission.

The Klingon Empire is intact.

You knew there
would be consequences.

Please, I won't
disappoint you again.

We'll restore it,

but only if you succeed
in your next mission.

But... you're disabling me.

You won't need enhanced vision
where you're going.

Proceed with the extraction.

Hold the door.

Hey.

Where were you last night?

I decided to turn in early.

Well, you didn't miss much.

What'd they show?

Night of the Killer Androids.

That bad?

We've got 50,000 movies
in the database.

There must be something
worth watching.

You could always read a book.

Lieutenant.

Ensigns.

Enjoy the show last night?

Those were two hours of my life
I'd rather have back.

Good morning, sir.

Morning, Daniels.

I thought this
was Taylor's shift.

I switched with him,

if that's all right with you.

No problem.

Sir, I noticed
we changed course.

May I ask why?

There's a stellar nursery
not far from here.

We detected several
ships inside.

We thought we might
go say hello.

Very good, sir.

More orange juice?

No, thanks, I'm fine.

What have you got?

We found one of the ships, sir.

Put it up.

It appears to be

a transport vessel.

Hail them.

They're responding.

Can I help you?

My name is Archer.

I'm Captain of the
Starship Enterprise.

We are from Earth.

We thought
we'd introduce ourselves.

Pleased to meet you.
What do you want?

Nothing.

We're new to this region,
and we're eager to make contact

with other species.

Oh.

If you don't mind my asking...

what brings you here?

A job.

I'm escorting a group

of spiritually minded men

on a pilgrimage
to the Great Plume of Agosoria.

The-the what?

Every 11 years,
one of the protostars

gives out a neutron blast.

These gentlemen...
believe it's a sacred event.

If you ask me, I think it's
just another ball of hydrogen.

When is this Great Plume
due to erupt?

Tomorrow.

Mind if we join you?

It's your time to waste.

I'd like to extend an invitation

to you and your passengers
to visit Enterprise.

I'll ask them
if they're interested.

I prefer to stay with my ship.

Understood.

Mister...?

Fraddock. Captain Fraddock.

Looks like
we could be having guests.

Tell Chef to prepare...

something.

Seal's good.

Welcome aboard.

Captain Jonathan Archer.

It's customary on Earth

to greet someone with a...

handshake.

I'm Prah Mantoos.

May Agosoria embrace you
into his cycle of renewal.

Thanks.

These are my fellow celebrants.

We've traveled many light-years,
from different worlds

to... watch this event.

I'm Commander Tucker,

Chief Engineer,

and this is our Science
Officer, Subcommander T'Pol.

For you, Captain.

It's beautiful.

What, uh, exactly is it?

A clock.

It charts time from
the beginning of the universe.

Voo-Sinteel.

It's a spirit
traditionally consumed

as the Plume reaches
its full brilliance.

You'll find it enhances
the experience.

Mm, I'm sure it does.

You're very generous.

I'm... afraid the only thing
we have to offer you

is our hospitality.

That will be more than enough.

Our chef has prepared
a meal in your honor.

Normally we fast during
the time of Agosoria,

but in this case,
I suppose we can...

break with tradition.

Please.

Four months, three weeks and...

Six days.

You've traveled a great distance

in a short period of time.

Warp 5 will get you
where you're going pretty fast.

We've, uh, seen a lot
since we left Earth,

but I have to say
that this place

is definitely one
of the highlights.

I'm pleased you appreciate
its beauty, Captain.

To us, it's more than just
a simple stellar nursery.

According to our sacred texts,

this is where
the universe began.

And the Great Plume of A...
Ago...

Agosoria.

Agosoria... how does that fit in?

It represents the continuing
cycle of creation.

It's not unlike the Hindu faith,
Commander.

They also believe
that the universe

goes through repeated cycles

of rebirth.

I didn't realize
you were familiar

with Earth religions, Doctor.

Oh, yes.

In fact, while I was there,

I made it a point to study
a number of them.

I spent two weeks
at a Tibetan monastery,

where I learned to sing chords
with the high lamas.

I attended mass
at Saint Peter's Square.

I was even allowed
to observe the Tal-Shanar

at the Vulcan Consulate.

I understand Vulcans are
a deeply spiritual people.

Our beliefs are based on logic

and the pursuit of clarity.

Do you follow a particular
faith, Captain?

I guess you could say I...
try to keep an open mind.

Many who see the Great Plume

are often inspired by it.

Perhaps you will be, too.

Did you get to meet them?

Two. Briefly.

What were they like?

Uh...

quiet.

They're taking a tour
of the ship.

Looks like the Captain's
going all out.

I hope he's not planning to show
them the Armory.

Don't worry, Lieutenant.

They didn't look like the types

who'd go around stealing
military secrets.

Still, we're not familiar
with these species.

Tactical systems
should be off-limits.

The starboard targeting sensor
is out again.

Should I call Engineering?

No. I'll take
care of it.

It'll only take a moment.

You have the Bridge, Ensign.

Aren't you going
to take the chair?

What?

You're in command.

I'm fine right here.

Haven't you ever wondered
what it's like?

I can wait till I'm promoted.

Okay.

Nice fit.

Bridge looks
a lot different from here.

Think anyone would mind
if I fired a torpedo?

Permission to take my station?

Sorry, sir.

The Gravimetric Field
Displacement Manifold...

Commonly known
as the "warp reactor."

Just think of it as a...
great big engine,

but, instead of using
electricity or chemical fuel,

it runs on antimatter.

See this swirling light?

When matter
and antimatter collide

it creates
a whole lot of energy.

We channel that energy

through those conduits
over there.

They lead to the two large
glowing cylinders

you may have seen
on the outside of the ship.

The nacelles.

That's right.

Which contain warp coils

that create the subspace
displacement field.

I see you...

already know a thing or two
about starship engines.

I'm a warp field theorist.

Oh. Well...

I guess that covers the basics.

Any questions?

How do you regulate

positron flow
in your dilithium matrix?

Good one.

I'll bring up the schematic
of the reactor assembly.

You can see for yourself.

If you'll just come with me.

We use a series
of magnetic constrictors

to align the positron stream.

If any stray particles escape,

backups automatically kick in.

And during one
of our training tests,

we momentarily lost the
primaries and the backups.

About a billion positrons
cut through the plating

on three decks.

Nearly caused a hull breach.

We spent a month
redesigning the system.

It hasn't given us
a single problem since.

We're being hailed
by Captain Fraddock.

He's probably calling
about the weather.

On screen.

You might want to focus

your sensors on that
plasma lightning up ahead.

We're aware of it.

You ever been in a plasma storm?

Twice.

Then you know
it can get a little bumpy.

I suggest
we try and go around it.

Agreed.

Ensign.

I'm already on it.

There's your heart,
lungs, liver...

another heart.

Every organ.

This imaging device
also allows us

to examine your
genetic structure.

Ah. You'll be
happy to know

you're in perfect health.

Who would like to go next?

Excuse me.

Archer to the Bridge.
Report.

We're circumnavigating
a plasma storm, Captain.

It's just turbulence
from the outer edge.

They're very common
in this region.

I'm sure there's nothing
to worry about.

That one hit our port bow.

Power's down on C-Deck,
Subsection 4.

No other damage.

Ensign.

The storm's moving
in our direction.

I'm having trouble
getting around it.

What about the transport ship?

He's far enough ahead.

He made it past.

We've got a power surge
in the impulse relays.

Here's a good example of how
we can reroute the energy flow

to protect our critical systems.

I'm afraid we have to cut
the tour a little short.

I'll be on the Bridge.

Report.

We're losing main power.

Trip,

what's happening?

That last bolt struck
the warp manifold.

We've got an antimatter cascade,
sir.

If it reaches the warp reactor,
we're gonna...

I think we're all right,
Captain.

The cascade stopped
in its tracks.

Good work, Trip.

It wasn't me, sir.

Sorry about the bad weather.

We're used to it.

I'm just grateful
there was no serious damage.

If any of your group

would like to watch the
Great Plume from our Mess Hall,

they're welcome
to come back tomorrow.

I'll let them know.

Have a great time, Doctor.

I plan to, Captain.

Thank you for letting me spend

the night with these people.

I'll expect a full report
in the morning.

Aye, Captain.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Tucker to Captain Archer.

Go ahead, Trip.

Can you come down
to Engineering for a minute?

On my way.

What is it, Trip?

Take a look at this.

What?

Right up there.

You see that conduit?

Yeah...

It's an antimatter junction.

It stopped the cascade from
reaching the warp reactor.

What are you getting at?

Somebody got in here
and disconnected it

from the primary
antimatter feed.

If they hadn't,

that cascade would
have continued

right into the reactor core

and this ship would have gone up

just like
the Great Plume of Agosoria.

One of your staff?

I already asked.

Nobody seems to know
anything about it.

Sounds to me
like you've got a hero

who's a little reluctant
about taking credit.

Talk to them again.

Whoever did this
deserves a commendation.

I'm telling you, sir,

I don't think it
was one of my people.

They would have said something.

I spoke with every one of them.

How about the warp theorist?

Him, too.

None of them went
anywhere near that conduit.

If I told you

I did it, would there be
some kind of reward?

Thank you, Captain.

Maybe it was
the "Cycle of Renewal."

If anyone comes forward,
you'll let me know?

Oh, you'll be the first.

Sir, I need to speak with you.

Why don't you talk
to one of my Bridge officers?

I'm a little busy right now.

It's important.

I'm sorry, Daniels,
I've got my hands full.

It's about the Suliban.

What about them?

I've reason to believe

that one of the pilgrims
who came aboard today

is a Suliban soldier.

His name is Silik.

He's the man you
fought with on the Helix.

How the hell do you know
what I did on the Helix?

It might be best
if we discussed this

in private.

My ready room.

I think it would be better
if we went to my quarters.

What?

You'll understand
when we get there, sir.

Oh, please, have a seat.

I'm sorry about the mess.

Sometimes I think my bunk-mate

majored in chaos theory.

What is that?

That doesn't look like
Starfleet issue.

It's because I'm not a member
of Starfleet.

Not that I wouldn't
be honored to be one, sir,

especially after
spending time...

Who are you?

How do you know what
happened on the Helix?

Did Silik tell you
who he was working for?

I'm the one asking
questions, Crewman.

Did he mention
the Temporal Cold War?

What do you know about that?

A great deal more
than you do, sir.

If you're not a
member of Starfleet,

then who are you?

I work for a different
kind of organization.

We make sure that people
like Silik

don't interfere
with historical events.

I've never heard of
a group like that.

That's because
it doesn't exist yet.

So, you're telling me

you're some kind
of a time traveler?

That's one way of putting it.

Maybe this will help

clear things up.

This is how we keep an eye
on what's going on.

You might call it
a Temporal Observatory.

I know this must seem
a little overwhelming.

Overwhelming...

doesn't quite cover it.

I come from right about, uh...

right about here.

Approximately 900 years
from now.

Are you human?

More or less.

And the people
giving Silik orders?

They're from an earlier century.

From about... here.

They can't manifest themselves
physically in the past.

They can only
partially materialize

to deliver information.

But not you?

In the years that followed,

we eventually perfected
the process.

Sounds dangerous.

When time travel
was first developed,

it wasn't long
before people realized

that laws had to be made.

All the species
who had the technology

agreed that it would
only be used for research.

But it wasn't...

that's what the Temporal
Cold War is all about.

Look at this.

This is a group
of anthropologists from 2769

observing the construction

of the Great Pyramid at Giza.

They're doing it using
the proper procedures

set forth in the
Temporal Accord.

But there are factions

that ignore those procedures.

Why are you telling me all this?

Silik is the one who
prevented the reactor breach.

Are you implying

Silik was sent here
to save my ship?

And if he hadn't,

we would have been
destroyed today?

I am not implying anything.

All I'm saying is that
I was assigned here

to capture Silik
when he came aboard.

He is a threat and I need you

to help me capture him.

You're from...

900 years in the future

and you need my help?

The Suliban have been
given genetic enhancements

that allow them
to evade most sensors.

They're nearly impossible
to detect.

I've noticed.

I have special equipment

that can help track Silik,

but it'll be far more effective

if I can tie it into your
internal sensor grid.

I'll need access
to Main Engineering

and your command codes.

We have reason to believe
that the 22nd century

is a front in this cold war.

What happens here could affect

millennia to come.

It's imperative that we find out

who Silik is working for

and what they're trying to do.

If I decide to help you,

I can't do it alone.

I need to inform
some of my crew.

The fewer the better.

You're asking me
to capture someone

who just saved my ship.

Why should I trust you?

You like your
scrambled eggs soft.

Have I ever brought them to you

any other way?

You sure you don't want a glass?

I'm sure.

The Vulcan Science Directorate

has studied the question

of time travel in great detail.

They found no evidence
that it exists

or that it can exist.

The Suliban woman
I spoke with... Sarin...

She also used the phrase
"Temporal Cold War."

That's what Daniels called it?

The same words.

That proves nothing.

What about the Suliban's
genetic engineering?

Phlox says it's far beyond
their abilities.

That doesn't mean
that it was given to them

by visitors from the future.

Until Daniels can offer you

concrete proof, I'd remain
extremely skeptical.

I'm telling you, he pushed
a button on this device

and the whole room changed.

On the Xyrillian ship,

I was in a holographic chamber

where I could've sworn
I was in a boat at sea.

If what Daniels says is true,

then Silik saved Enterprise.

Maybe we shouldn't look
a gift horse in the mouth.

If there's even a possibility

that this cold war exists,

we can't ignore
Daniels' request.

Bridge to Captain Archer.

Yes, Hoshi.

We're approaching
the protostar, sir.

The transport ship is requesting
permission to dock.

Some of the passengers

would like to take you up
on your offer

and observe it
from the Mess Hall.

Initiate docking procedures.

I'll be right there.

One of them might be Silik.

We don't have time
to debate this

any longer.

I want you to help Daniels.

I always knew we'd
be meeting people

from other planets, but...

other centuries?

You're not buying
any of this, are you?

If Daniels could
travel through time,

why not simply go back
one more day into the past

and prevent Silik

from boarding this ship
in the first place?

Maybe that's Plan B.

Or maybe he's really
not from the future.

Then why make up
such a crazy story?

He could be trying to conceal

his true intentions.

I thought you scientists

were supposed
to keep an open mind.

There's a difference

between keeping an open mind

and believing something

because you want it to be true.

What the hell's that
supposed to mean?

Roja durana tua teenan, Captain.

That is a traditional greeting

on the morning of Agosoria.

It means, "May the
Plume light your way."

I take it you
enjoyed your visit.

Oh, it was mesmerizing.

Four hours of ritual prayer,

followed by the Kaana-sah,
a series of exercises

designed to purify the body.

I think I strained a leg muscle,

but it was well worth it.

How many decided to join us?

11, I believe.

The others wanted to observe
the star from their ship.

So that leaves...
six on the transport?

I didn't take a head count,

but that sounds about right.

Did any of them
seem out of place?

How do you mean?

Did they all take part
in the rituals?

As far as I could tell,

but our eyes were
closed most of the time.

Is there something
wrong, Captain?

No. Just

curious.

You seem a little preoccupied.

It's been a long night.

I'm glad you had a good time.

Enjoy the view.

I will.

My equipment draws
a lot of power.

I'll need another 20 megawatts
routed to your sensor grid.

Commander.

The grid can handle it.

So I take it your
brother isn't really

an orbital engineer
at Jupiter Station.

Actually, I don't
have a brother.

And you didn't grow up
in Illinois.

Oh, I'm from a place
called Illinois, sir.

Just not the one
you're familiar with.

It's good to know Earth

will still be around
in 900 years.

That depends on how
you define Earth.

Beg your pardon?

You might want to
initialize the grid.

I'm ready to download
the biometric parameters.

Right.

What's this?

It's very delicate.

Please don't...

Please don't touch it.

You know, we've got a little
pool going in Engineering

where we try to guess how far
the ship will travel each day.

I don't suppose you could give
me a tip on tomorrow's distance.

I'm afraid

we don't monitor events
quite that closely.

One of the power
relays is off-line.

Must have been damaged
during the plasma storm.

J-37. It's about
three meters

behind that bulkhead.

I'll take care of it.

J-37?

Try it now.

I know, I know, your
breakfast is two hours late.

Don't give me that look.

If it's any consolation,

I missed my breakfast, too.

What's the problem?

You're not getting any cheese.

If you're thinking of calling

for help, I'd advise against it.

I'm not the one you should
be worried about, Jon.

What are you doing here?

I thought

you might want to thank me.

I saved your life.

The least you could do
is return the favor.

There's someone here
trying to find me.

I need to know who it is.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I detect a tachyon radiation.

You don't have anything

that emits tachyons.

Who's looking for me?

I don't know.

Did they tell you
that ridiculous story

about their noble efforts
to protect history?

The great Temporal Accord?

They're lying to you, Jon.

None of it is true.

Whoever contacted you

is working for another faction.

They didn't come here
to protect history.

They came to alter it.

Who do you think was responsible

for the antimatter cascade

that nearly destroyed your ship?

It was them.

I was sent to prevent it.

And why would you
want to do that?

The first time we met,
you tried to kill me.

I saved your ship
because I was instructed to.

By whom?

What does Enterprise have
to do with your temporal war?

I'm not privy
to that kind of information,

but I can tell you this.

Whoever's looking for me
is a danger to your crew.

If you want to continue
on your mission,

you'll help me find them.

T'Pol to Captain Archer.

Archer here.

We finished the modifications.

Thanks.

I'll be there in a few minutes.

Mr. Daniels is eager
to get started.

He'll have to wait
a few minutes.

Archer out.

You've been very helpful, Jon.

It's beginning.

How long before
we see the Plume?

Now, that's hard to predict.

Every cycle is unique.

Would you care to recite

the "Invocation
of Renewal" with us?

I'd be honored.

Goran tonia Agosoria...

Yoraya...

Yoraya uralan porporo gost.

Goran tonia Agosoria

Yoraya uralan porporo gost.

Totonya tur eeta dura.

Totonya tur eeta dura.

Tyana mooreeta.

Tyana mooreeta.

Does this mean it's working?

It's working.

What is it?

Suliban bio-signs.

He's somewhere on this deck.

I can't isolate him,
but he's close.

Call Lieutenant Reed.

Tell him to seal off C-Deck.

And it wouldn't hurt
if he could get down here

with a security team.

What's that?

You two should go.

We're not leaving.

Go!

Bring help. Go.

- Evacuate Engineering.
- Everybody out!

Did they tell you
that the 22nd Century

was going to be
your final resting place?

Still skeptical?

Tucker to Captain Archer.

Captain, are you there?

He's in his quarters.

Tucker to Dr. Phlox.

Yes, Commander.

Meet us in the Captain's
quarters on the double.

On my way.

Easy, Captain.

Aside from a nasty headache,

you're going to be fine.

You were stunned
by a particle weapon.

It was Silik.

I guess he decided

not to try and
kill me this time.

He wasn't quite as generous
when it came to Daniels.

He's dead, sir.

Have our guests left yet?

No. The Plume
is just beginning.

Enterprise to Captain Fraddock.

Fraddock.

I'm looking for one
of your passengers.

Have any of the ones
who were here returned

in the last hour or so?

None.

You're sure?

The hatch has been sealed
the entire time.

Thanks.

Archer out.

Mr. Reed.

Yes, sir.

We've got a Suliban
loose on the ship.

I want you to lock down
every outer door and exit hatch.

Post security teams
on all decks.

Understood.

Do you think you can find him
using Daniels' sensors?

I can sure as hell try.

Get to Engineering.

Yes, sir.

T'Pol.

Thanks, Doc.

Captain?

It's gone.

He took it.

Took what?

The device I told you about.

The one Daniels used to show me
all those things.

That kind of information

could give an advantage
to whomever Silik's working for.

Bridge to Captain Archer.

Go ahead.

Someone just used our com system
to transmit a message.

What kind of message?

It's encrypted, sir.

Anything?

I'm sorry, Captain.

I can't make heads or tails
of most of this.

These might represent
Suliban bio-signs,

but I wouldn't bet on it.

B-Deck... Service Junction 59.

Somebody's trying to bypass

the lock-out codes
for Launch Bay 2.

Tell Malcolm to meet me
with a security team.

Captain, I've got something

that might give you a leg up.

It looks like he
slipped through here.

We could remove these conduits,

but it would take some time.

Sir?

Stay here.

Very clever.

Careful, Jon.

It would be a shame to trigger
another antimatter cascade.

There'd be nobody
here to stop it.

Put that device on the floor.

It would be in your best
interest to let me take it.

You keep saying
you're here to help us.

But I can't stop wondering

what kind of genetic
enhancements you'll get

for bringing back
that little prize.

Eyes in the back of your head?

A pair of wings?

That's a cynical attitude, Jon.

I thought your species

was more trusting.

There's a vessel approaching.

No bigger than a shuttlepod.

It's Suliban.

I'm not going to ask you again.

Put it down.

You're going to kill me
after I saved your life?

You may have endangered
your future, Jon.

Bridge to Captain Archer.

Yeah.

A Suliban vessel
just took something in

and went to warp.

Should we go after them?

No.

Let them go.

Come in.

The transport ship has left.

We're ready to resume course.

Have you learned how it works?

Not a clue.

Starfleet's in store
for one hell of a report.

I'm not quite sure
where to begin.

I'd be glad to help.

First thing in the morning.

I don't know
about you, but, uh...

I could use
a good night's sleep.

Agreed.

Mr. Reed, assign
new quarters

to Daniels' roommate
and seal off cabin E-14.

It's off-limits
till further notice.

Aye, sir.

God knows what else is in there.

Let's get back on the road,
Travis.
