Star Trek: Voyager (1995–2001): Season 3, Episode 24 - Displaced - full transcript

You were doing great!

You were in position to deliver
the deathblow.

- Let's try it again.
- Don't push me, Tom.

I'm encouraging you.

- To do what?
- Try something new.

This martial arts program
is the best workout I've ever had.

Working with a bat'leth is an art.
You have to use your mind...

You may find this Klingon stuff
fascinating, but I don't.

I'm not wasting my time
disembowelling monsters.

I only came because you tricked me
into that stupid bet!

You could take somebody's
head off with that thing!



I have tried this
and now I am finished. Got it?

If you don't like the program, fine.
Why do you have to get so hostile?

I am not hostile!

Where am I?

Paris to bridge.
We have an alien visitor on deck 6.

Why have I been abducted?

We didn't abduct you.

You just appeared here.

What is this place?

You're on the starship Voyager.

Where were you before?

My colony on Nyria III.

I was walking home and then I was here.

What's wrong?



It's cold here and too bright.

Let's take you to sickbay.
Our doctor can run scans.

Maybe we can get some answers.

The temperature is 45 degrees Celsius.

The lighting should be more comfortable.

Thank you. You're very considerate.

I hope you'll excuse my suspicion.

This experience has been unnerving.

I'd feel the same way in your place.

Do your people possess technology

which could have transported you here?

Not that I know of. Other races have it.

Maybe one of them brought me here.

Please describe the physical sensation
of your experience.

First I felt light-headed,

then everything seemed to ripple.

There was a moment of blackness

and I felt a curious sensation
of insects crawling on my skin.

Then I found myself on your ship.

Interesting. I'll run a scan
for residual energy traces.

Where is your colony located?

We're on the third planet
of the Nyrian system,

a red giant star with a large cloud
of interstellar dust.

Doesn't sound like any system
we've encountered.

Our knowledge
of this area of space is limited.

I'd like you to look at a star chart
to see if you recognise any markers.

My crew has begun scanning the area
for any clues.

- Lieutenant, if you don't mind.
- Where is Kes today?

She's late for her shift.
Computer, locate Kes.

Kes is not on board Voyager.

- When did she leave?
- 1132 hours.

What time did our visitor
come on board?

1132 hours.

Nothing indicates that any other ships
have been in this area for weeks.

Whatever did this
had to leave an energy trace.

Sensors aren't showing anything unusual
where the Nyrian appeared.

Let's concentrate on the time.

Run an analysis on sensor readings
taken at the moment it happened.

I'll get it started but
it may take a while.

- You don't think I'm hostile, do you?
- I wouldn't describe you that way.

I know I have a temper,
but that doesn't mean I'm hostile.

- Of course not.
- I am forthright. I speak my mind.

- It's very different from being hostile.
- Very different.

If someone described me that way,
they'd be way off the mark.

Way off.

Then why do you look like
you're afraid for your life?

- What is this?
- A surge of polaron particles.

Localise the source.
I'll increase the sensor resolution.

Do you have anything yet?
Harry?

Torres to bridge.
Ensign Kim just disappeared.

And we just got another visitor.

Mr Tuvok, have you made
any progress?

Increasing the shield strength has
had no apparent effect. However...

Welcome to sickbay.
Take a number.

We've lost 22 of our people.

According to the Nyrians,
they've all shown up on their colony.

Dammar is completely unfamiliar
with this part of space.

That colony could be thousands
of light years away.

Any idea what's causing
these transfers?

Harry and I detected a surge of polaron
particles before he disappeared.

They created a spatial distortion field
around him.

- Some kind of spatial anomaly?
- It could have been anything.

A natural phenomenon like a wormhole,
or a technology like our transporters.

Get back to your stations
and keep looking.

Confine the Nyrians to the cargo bays
and post security details.

They haven't been threatening
in any way.

- They seem as puzzled as we are.
- I don't care how they seem.

I've had a knot in my stomach
since the first Nyrian arrived.

Look at us running around the ship
spinning theories

while the Nyrians replace our crew.

There has been a consistent interval

of nine minutes and 20 seconds
between these exchanges.

At that rate, our entire crew
will be gone in 18 hours.

You have your orders.

Captain's log, stardate 50912.4.

It's been 12 hours
since these exchanges began

and we haven't discovered the cause.

I've lost over half my crew.

Cargo bay 2 is almost full.
We'll have to convert the shuttle bays.

Then do it.

I'll have to reassign
more crew members to security.

Shut down everything
but the ship's essential functions.

B'Elanna, have you developed
a theory?

A Nyrian astrophysicist

told me about some graviton
fluctuations at their colony.

I ran some scans on this end
and found the same thing.

A wormhole?

One end is opening intermittently
inside Voyager.

- We could have shagged on it.
- How do we get it unsnagged?

I'd like to have another talk with Rislan,
the Nyrian scientist.

- Is Neelix with the new arrivals?
- He's in cargo bay 2.

- Janeway to Neelix.
- Neelix here, Captain.

Find one of the Nyrians...

Neelix to Captain Janeway.
What did you say?

Chakotay to Neelix. The Captain's gone.

Find the Nyrian scientist Rislan
and get him to engineering.

Do what you have to do to get
some answers, B'Elanna.

- Excuse me, are you Dr Rislan?
- It's still too cold in here.

I'll adjust the environmental controls
again. I must ask you...

- And the air is too humid.
- I'll take care of it right away.

I must ask you to go to our engineering
room. You're urgently needed.

I trust it will be suitably warm
and dark there?

We'll make sure you're comfortable.
A security guard will escort you.

There's a problem with the sensors
on deck 4.

- A circuit relay malfunction.
- I can't spare anyone for repairs.

How do you like your first day
as chief of security?

It's everything I dreamed of.

Who says there's no room
for advancement on this ship?

Another disappearance.
It's Neelix.

- How many people left?
- 40.

And more than 100 Nyrians.
I want access to all systems

restricted to authorised voice prints only.
Seal off any areas we're not using.

Place security force fields
around sensitive areas -

warp core, armoury, torpedo bays.

Let's hope I'm just being paranoid.

If you ask me,
a tetryon scan is a waste of time.

A multispectral sweep
would be more useful.

I didn't ask and I've already initiated
the tetryon scan.

- You're the expert.
- Neutrinos, theta-band radiation...

Just what you'd expect in a wormhole.

It's what we're not finding
that I'm interested in.

The scan shows no quantum level
fluctuations.

That's not so unusual.

It's impossible. I don't think
this is a wormhole at all.

Perhaps it's a subspace flow field.

I'm going to run a pattern analysis
with the original data.

Definitely not a flow field.
The spatial harmonics are incompatible.

I don't think
this is a natural phenomenon.

Don't move. I won't hurt you
unless you force me.

Your people have been behind this
all along.

- What are you doing?
- Moving you to the head of the line.

Are you all right?

The Nyrians are responsible
for the exchanges.

- What do they want with us?
- They refuse to answer any questions.

They've given us everything
but information.

- Where's the rest of the crew?
- In other compounds like this.

This isn't warm or dark enough
for a Nyrian colony.

It's more like an idyllic version of Earth,
created specifically for us.

Do we know what planet we're on?

Not yet. I sent Tuvok
to investigate the other compounds.

All we have are unanswered questions.

Decks 11 through 15
are shut down.

The remaining crew
are on security detail.

- All 13 of them?
- 12, sir.

Crewman Gennaro to bridge.
I just found Ensign Molina.

- He's unconscious but OK.
- What about the Nyrian scientist?

- There's no sign of him, sir.
- Find him.

- Where are you going?
- To have a talk with the Nyrians.

Chakotay to all hands. The Nyrians
may be trying to take control of the ship.

Get to the bridge or main engineering
and secure them against intruders.

Second team, take control of weapons.

Start by reinforcing
the containment fields.

Reroute power.
We've got to seal those doors.

They're everywhere. They're even
decrypting our access codes.

The Nyrians prepared for this
before they got here.

They tapped into our computer

and got enough information
to plan this mission to the letter.

Larson?

Chakotay to anybody who's left.
Please respond.

- Gennaro here, sir.
- Anybody else?

The two of us can't win this.
Let's make life difficult for the Nyrians.

Sabotage everything you can get
your hands on.

Good luck.

- What's our status?
- We've shut their security measures.

We should have
full computer access soon,

but their navigational controls
are not working.

Two humans moving through the ship
seem intent on causing damage.

Find them.

They're sabotaging the power systems.
The reactor is shutting down.

Warning. Disabling EPS
relays may disrupt computer functions.

Let's hope so.

Chakotay to Gennaro. They're trying
to delete the Doctor's program.

Are you anywhere near sickbay?
Gennaro?

Computer, how long ago did
Crewman Gennaro leave the ship?

Seven minutes and 20 seconds.

I've located the last human.
He's on the fifth deck.

- Send a patrol to stop him.
- I already have.

Activate Emergency Medical
Holographic program.

- Please state... Hello?
- Over here.

Commander, what's happening?

Your program's going to be deleted

unless I download you into
the mobile emitter before I disappear.

Got it.

All right. I know when to quit.

I've never been cut off from the ship.
What if the power supply runs out?

Let's hope we're not here
long enough to find out.

Tuvok, what did you learn?

There are ten compounds like this,
spread over four square kilometres.

They are surrounded by wilderness.

Could I have your attention?

Now that you've all arrived safely,
welcome to your new home.

I'm not interested in being welcomed.
Why have you brought us here?

Your vessel will defend
Nyrian acquisitions.

You operate by changing places
with the crew of a ship?

Ships, colonies, space stations.
It's more effective than warfare.

We aren't a cruel people.

We've tried to make this experience
as painless as possible.

We've gone to great lengths

to create an environment
in which you will be comfortable.

We are here against our will.

That's unavoidable,
but I think you'll be happy here.

The food dispensers have been
programmed with your own selections.

We have downloaded entertainment
from your cultural database.

What happens if we try to leave
this paradise?

- You'll find there's nowhere to go.
- We don't accept that.

We will find a way out of here.

Captain, your lack of gratitude
is unbecoming.

You could have found yourselves
somewhere far less hospitable.

- It's still a prison.
- Be miserable if you want.

But since there's nothing you can do
about your situation, accept it.

Gracefully.

We're ready now.

Tuvok, tell me about this wilderness.

- Can we walk out?
- I don't believe so.

In every direction,
I encountered a natural barrier.

A sheer cliff, an impassable river.
These obstacles surround the colony.

A perfectly isolated area.
Doesn't that seem convenient?

The place has an artificial quality.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's holographic

and the wilderness was created
to keep us from exploring.

Captain.

Sorry for the intrusion,
but I wanted to welcome you.

I'm Jarleth, your neighbour.

Where did you come from?

We live in the other environment,
through that portal.

It's quite different, more desert-like.
This place is so green,

but the Nyrians undoubtedly
looked through your databanks.

- Were you brought here by the Nyrians?
- They took us one by one.

- Is this what you eat?
- They took you from your colony?

By the time we got suspicious,
there were too many of them.

- We've been here ever since.
- Do you know where "here" is?

Not bad.
Would you be interested in trading?

The last inhabitants had no concept
of a barter system.

You strike me as a much more
sophisticated group.

If there were people here before,
we could get out the same way.

I don't think you'd like their method
of escape. They died from a plague.

There must be a force field here,
but I can't find it.

It's well camouflaged.
It took me nine years to find the portal.

- How did you get it open?
- I have my ways.

I consider that information
a valuable commodity.

I'd be happy to trade, but the portal
only leads into our environment.

You're welcome to visit, of course.

There may be other portals,
if you can show us how to find them.

I look forward to our collaboration.

- What do you see now?
- Fascinating.

Everything is glowing
with its own energy.

- It's really quite lovely.
- How's your optical resolution?

The Captain sent me to get an update.

I've reconfigured the Doctor's
optical sensors.

He should be able to detect
the microwave signature of the portals.

I begin my new career as a tricorder.

About the other day.
I might have been a bit...

oversensitive
about the Klingon program.

Don't worry about it.

- I think we can start scanning now.
- Good. I'll tell the Captain.

About the program.
I didn't mean to push you.

I know you didn't.

And I didn't mean to lash out
at you like that.

A typical defensive reaction.

Using an outburst as a shield
against an emotional threat.

That says it.

- That's funny coming from you.
- What does that mean?

You're hardly one to talk
about being defensive.

- Why is that exactly?
- You turn everything into a joke.

A valid observation. Defence
mechanisms come in many forms.

I am an easy-going person.

Who is trying to be friendly to someone
who is terrified of having a friend.

Fear of intimacy is a common
indication of low self-esteem. If you...

If you find it so difficult to be
my friend, why keep trying?

That's a good question.
I think I'll stop wasting my time.

I pulled a power cell and some relay
circuits out of a food dispenser.

This thing looks like
some sort of capacitor.

If you can find another like this,
we can construct a second weapon.

You're assuming
the first one will work.

I'll get on it. Maybe if I take apart
a sonic shower assembly.

I've got to give you credit.

Working with random parts,
with no guide to follow.

I never thought Vulcans
had a knack for improvising.

Our circumstances seem to require
a certain flexibility.

This reminds me of those
survival classes at the Academy.

Surprise tactical simulations
with no chance to prepare.

They taught you to live by your wits.

That was a lesson I had already learned.

During the Rite of tal'oth, I survived
in the Vulcan desert for four months

with a ritual blade
as my only possession.

After that, Starfleet training exercises
seemed less of a challenge.

I guess so.

This weapon is complete. When
Mr Neelix returns, I'll improvise another.

I haven't seen any sign of a portal.
I'm getting tired of this.

Holograms don't get tired.
Keep looking.

We've tried to get out for years. The
closest I came was finding the portal.

- I don't think there is a way out.
- We have to keep looking.

I know it's too early to accept this,
but life here isn't so bad.

Once we stopped trying to escape,
we began enjoying ourselves.

Captain, we've found something.

It's directly in front of me.

- Here?
- Yes. Right there.

If my scanning services
are no longer required,

I'll return to my medical duties.

Tuvok and I will take this direction,
you three go that way.

We'll meet back here in 20 minutes.

I don't think we're supposed
to be in here.

B'Elanna, over here.

There's another one.

Self-contained biospheres,
every one of them different.

It's a control station.

I can't understand
what the information says.

If the Nyrians downloaded
Voyager's database,

you may be able to tap
into the translation algorithm.

Much better.

The Federation habitat,
population 148.

They haven't detected
that anyone's missing.

Here's another environment.
And another.

How many are there?

Captain, there's data here
for 94 different environments.

They're holding thousands of prisoners.

There's got to be something
that will tell us about the layout.

- Authorised access only.
- I'll bypass their security codes.

Good. I'm getting something.
Incredible, Tuvok.

- We're on a ship.
- We should locate the bridge.

If there is one, I can't find it.

There seems to be a command centre
four decks above us.

Maybe I can access it from here.
More security lock-outs.

We may need to disable
the security subroutine.

There's been an unauthorised access.
Some of the life-forms have escaped.

- Find them and put them back.
- We are attempting to do that.

If they resist, stronger measures
may become necessary.

If they leave you no alternative,
you have the authorisation to use force.

How soon can we go to warp?
I want to get back there.

Just a few minutes.

- Let's go back.
- No!

We've got to find
the Captain and Tuvok.

This is our chance to get back
into our environments.

If you want to go, go.
We're not leaving them behind.

- Don't move!
- I surrender. I'm sorry.

They made me come along.

- They went around that corner.
- Follow them.

He activated a translocator control.

One life-form was sent
to the biosphere adjacent to ours.

That must have been Jarleth.

These are what the Nyrians used
to get on our ship.

We should be able to use the same
method to return to Voyager.

We're getting a transmission
from the biosphere vessel.

Some of the life-forms
have accessed the control system.

- We need reinforcements.
- We're on our way to you now.

Maximum velocity.

Take us close enough to translocate
my entire security force.

- Something's wrong with the phaser.
- They aren't exactly Starfleet issue.

There must be somewhere to hide
in one of these habitats.

Tom, I think I've found one.

Here it is.

We had to warm up
the ship for the Nyrians.

They won't follow us here.

Stop!

Follow them. That's an order.

This translocator has an extremely
long range. Over ten light years.

Distances must limit its capacity.

That's why they could only send
one at a time.

Their method has the advantage
of appearing innocent.

I can't find the command pathways
to get the system operative.

And I don't imagine we have much longer
before they find us.

Maybe coming in here
wasn't such a good idea.

Let's hope it's worse for them.

Careful.
That phaser's just about dead.

They can't last much longer.
We've got to stay one step ahead.

Don't get too far from the portal.
We should find a place to hide.

Let me see the phaser.

My hands are completely numb.

Here. I thought all that hot Klingon
blood would keep you warm.

Shows how much you know
about Klingons.

They have less tolerance for the cold
than humans.

- I thought that was Cardassians.
- They just complain about it more.

Better?

I think that'll amplify the power cell.
Enough for one more shot.

B'Elanna!

Nice shot. Let's get out of here
before we freeze to death.

I've got the basic operation,

but I can't figure out
how to lock on to a target.

Can you access anything that might
function like our targeting scanners?

There are biosensors within the
monitoring programs of each habitat.

Human life-forms detected in another
environment. The Argala habitat.

- Tom and B'Elanna.
- Possibly.

They may have hidden there
from the Nyrians.

- Doesn't look very inviting.
- The temperature is minus 20 degrees.

We've got to get them out.

There's a ship approaching at high warp.
It's Voyager.

If the Nyrians are bringing in
reinforcements, we're in trouble.

I didn't think we were this far
from the portal.

- I don't think I can go any further.
- You have to keep moving.

- I'm so sleepy.
- B'Elanna, get up.

- I'm going to rest here.
- If you do, you'll die.

I just have to close my eyes.

On your feet now, Torres.
That's an order!

- You can't give me orders.
- I have seniority.

- By about two days.
- On your feet now!

You've wanted to take a swing at me
for days. Now's your chance.

- You're trying to get me moving.
- You will keep moving.

- Or do I have to carry you out?
- Don't even try it.

- Where are we?
- The Argala habitat, sir.

Get us out of here.
Where's the portal?

- You did this?
- Your translocation system.

My tactical officer is waiting
for my next order.

- And what would that be?
- That depends on you.

Surrender my ship
and release all the prisoners here.

Unacceptable.

You can stay where you are

and greet your crew as we translocate
them here to join you.

If we do surrender?

We'll find you a nice, warm habitat

while we contact the native worlds
of your prisoners.

Once we've disabled your translocator,
you'll be free to go.

I'm sorry you don't wish to be
reasonable.

- Mr Tuvok, get me out of here...
- No, wait!

Captain's log, stardate 50929.6.

The Nyrians have surrendered Voyager
and my crew is back on board.

The former prisoners have contacted
their worlds and are waiting to go home.

Nice day.

Beautiful.

Things were pretty chilly there
for a while.

I guess they were.

It feels good to be warm again.

Yeah, it sure does.
