1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,951
Direct hit.

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,675
The target buoy is solid monotanium,
ten metres thick,

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,519
shielded by a chromo-electric force field.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,836
- Impressive.
- I'm glad you agree.

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,112
It's not wise to travel
without adequate defences.

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,392
Scuttled ships
have more firepower than Voyager.

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,272
I'm sure.

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,472
Imagine your capability
once the isokinetic cannon

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,160
is integrated into your systems.

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,071
One projectile can penetrate the shields
of any heavily-armoured vessel.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,319
Hostile species will know to avoid
Voyager by reputation alone.

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,035
You've made your point, Mr Kovin.
I want the cannon.

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,151
And I'm prepared to give you...

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,158
...astrometric charts
spanning twelve sectors.

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,113
You'll find them unusually precise.

16
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,596
Even the most sophisticated charts
become obsolete.

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,872
One random anomaly
and they're no longer accurate.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,152
However, I could be persuaded...

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,989
if you were to include the mapping
technology that created them.

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,591
Sorry. Our astrometric sensors were
designed specifically for this ship.

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,757
They'd be of no use to you.

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,319
What I can offer you is a generous
supply of isolinear processing chips.

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,274
We'll show you how to integrate
them into your sensor technology.

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,710
How generous a supply?

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,070
- 100 chips.
- 150.

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,952
- 115.
- 125.

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,232
Done. Escort our guest to engineering.

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,239
You'll be supervising the installation?

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,159
Of course. For a modest fee.

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,874
Five additional chips. No more.

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,471
It's good to see the art of negotiation
isn't lost on you, Captain.

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,238
- That guy is worse than a Ferengi.
- Assign Seven of Nine to work on this.

33
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,193
She's got a knack
for adapting alien technology.

34
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,834
Should I give her access
to the systems?

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,114
I'm ready to give her some latitude.
She's been behaving herself lately.

36
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,078
What are you working on?

37
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,034
Decoding the message Starfleet
Command sent us several weeks ago.

38
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,515
- Any progress?
- None.

39
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,200
I'm working on
a new decryption algorithm.

40
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,118
Set it aside.

41
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,392
- I have another assignment for you.
- What is it?

42
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,319
Helping Kovin integrate
the new weapons system.

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,150
- I'd rather not. I find him inefficient.
- Maybe, but you work well with him.

44
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,033
It's more responsibility.
You should be pleased.

45
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,471
The captain gives me liberty
when she needs my expertise.

46
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,151
You violated her trust and if you
want it back, you'll have to earn it.

47
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,033
One step at a time.

48
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,480
I will report to engineering.

49
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,956
You need to install isolinear
buffer circuits here and here.

50
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,232
Protect the main power relay
with a containment field.

51
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,594
All the buffer circuits would have to fail
simultaneously for there to be a danger.

52
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,711
We prefer to play it safe.

53
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,914
I'll check the inventory logs to see
if we have a field generator available.

54
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,951
- What are you doing?
- Reconfiguring the control systems.

55
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,232
The circuit requires
a specialised protocol.

56
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,479
- Let me take care of it.
- That won't be necessary.

57
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,674
No. No. The subroutines need to be
arranged in cascading sequence.

58
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,791
Let me show you.

59
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,470
Seven, stop.

60
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,155
There's a hairline fracture
of the premaxilla bone.

61
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,271
Do you see this? She shattered it.

62
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,799
It's easily repaired.

63
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,638
Why did Seven attack you?

64
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,071
It was unprovoked. She was an animal.

65
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,831
I wouldn't put it like that.

66
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,759
I was at a console ten metres away.

67
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,032
I looked around. He was holding her arm.

68
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,197
I barely touched her.

69
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,790
A gesture to move her out of my way,

70
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,230
then she attacked me.

71
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,158
What did you say to her?

72
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:33,759
I told her how to reconfigure

73
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,871
the tactical control systems.

74
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,798
- Is that all?
- That's all.

75
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,275
And that's when she knocked him down.

76
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,471
Ashmore and I had to hold her back.

77
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,797
- She would have killed me.
- It's a miracle you survived.

78
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,833
Now hold still or this won't heal properly.

79
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,112
You should be disciplining her.

80
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,038
Believe me, I'll deal with it.

81
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,676
Please accept my apology. Excuse me.

82
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,591
Good as new.

83
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,873
Come in.

84
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,790
Here we are again.

85
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,911
I'm tired of this conversation.

86
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,477
You know what I'm going to say.
It seems pointless to say anything.

87
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,197
Shall I consider my privileges restricted
and confine myself to the cargo bay?

88
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,394
I think we've established that traditional
disciplinary actions don't work with you.

89
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,273
The question is what will?

90
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,596
Are you asking for my opinion?

91
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,714
I suppose I am. Because frankly,
I'm running out of options.

92
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,959
Throwing you in the brig or slapping you
on the wrist solves nothing.

93
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,675
And I understand
your feelings about Kovin.

94
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,599
There are times
I'd like to pop him on the nose.

95
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,352
But there's a difference between
having an impulse and acting on it.

96
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,632
Does that make any sense to you?

97
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,513
I believe so. I will give it more thought.

98
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,757
Well, that's a start.

99
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,472
I hear there was some excitement
this morning.

100
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,592
When I helped you
improve your social skills,

101
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,872
I didn't include a boxing lesson.

102
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,560
- You weren't hurt, were you?
- No.

103
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Still a bit tense?

104
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,355
- Perhaps.
- I understand the burden you carry.

105
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,951
Constantly being obligated to deal with
those who fall short of excellence.

106
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,551
I often find my own patience being
tested by someone like Mr Kovin.

107
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:49,074
Of course, I generally respond with a
devastating quip, rather than a left hook.

108
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,671
We must both accept the fact that few
life-forms will meet our high standards.

109
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,952
So, when you get irritated,
just try to be tolerant.

110
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,232
Remember, they can't help
being what they are.

111
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,840
I'm reading increased
engramatic activity

112
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,315
and your adrenaline is elevated.

113
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,956
- What does that indicate?
- A state of heightened tension.

114
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,993
Lie down and I'll run some scans.

115
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,351
In a typical human,
I would consider this a mood swing.

116
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,471
But with your unique physiology,

117
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,356
I'd like to rule out the possibility
of a chemical imbalance.

118
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,393
Have you experienced other symptoms -
headaches, disorientation?

119
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,158
No.

120
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Physiological scans seem normal.

121
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,275
I'm going to check
your Borg implants now.

122
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,597
- Seven, what's wrong?
- Let me out.

123
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,075
I will. Stay calm.

124
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,351
- No more procedures.
- All right.

125
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Stay away. You mustn't do this.

126
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,039
Do what? What are you so afraid of?

127
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,991
I don't know.

128
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,992
She experienced an episode
of acute anxiety.

129
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,919
Intense apprehension,
shortness of breath.

130
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,031
I finally managed to sedate her.

131
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,515
Could it be her cortical implants?

132
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,111
I don't think so. I think the problem
is memory suppression.

133
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,835
There's a high concentration
of biogenic amines,

134
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,951
which I haven't noticed before.

135
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,276
It's blocking her memory centre.

136
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,280
- Do you know where it came from?
- No, but it seems to be dissipating.

137
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,871
Seven's behaviour may be the result
of the blocked memories surfacing.

138
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,152
- Memories she can't identify yet.
- Can you treat her?

139
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,194
Treatment would involve
integrating the repressed memories.

140
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,711
I may be able to use
a standard regression technique.

141
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,912
You have psycho-therapeutic
capabilities?

142
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,759
No, but in the absence of a counsellor,

143
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,475
I've been developing
a psychiatric subroutine.

144
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,558
I'll be even more valuable to you.

145
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,671
Keep me informed, Doctor.

146
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,594
A Jungian therapist would attempt
to retrieve unconscious memories

147
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,553
by exploring synchronicities
in recent events.

148
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:28,993
But Amanin of Betazed would argue
that a combination of sensory isolation

149
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,715
and focused breathing techniques
would be more effective.

150
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,914
I've integrated them both to create
an approach to memory reconstruction.

151
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,077
What does this approach involve?

152
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,478
Putting you at your ease
by treating you in your own environment.

153
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,752
Once I've reinforced
the neural pathways,

154
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,716
I'll use a directed imagery technique
to guide you through the regression.

155
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,831
You may proceed.

156
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Please, close your eyes.

157
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,791
Clear your mind.
Try not to think or to analyse.

158
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,830
- My mind is now clear.
- This isn't an exercise in efficiency.

159
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,555
Close your eyes. Breathe deeply.

160
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,995
Concentrate on the sound of my voice.

161
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,910
Let go of the present.
Leave the cargo bay behind.

162
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,920
Allow yourself to drift.

163
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,237
Describe the first image
that enters your mind.

164
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,839
A medical tricorder.

165
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,400
Duritanium casing. 7.6 centimetres
by 9.8 centimetres by 3.2 centimetres.

166
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,716
Alpha-numeric display...

167
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,631
That's enough. So... you're in sickbay.

168
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,880
How does the tricorder make you feel?

169
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,760
- It disturbs me.
- Why?

170
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,712
I'm afraid it will hurt me.

171
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,676
Is there anything else there
that causes you to anticipate pain?

172
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,919
The diagnostic bed.
It's closing around me.

173
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,591
- You feel restrained, confined?
- Yes. I'm uneasy.

174
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,075
About what?

175
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,309
- It's Kovin.
- What is he doing?

176
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,311
He's restraining me.

177
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,193
I want to get away from him, but I can't.

178
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,712
Kovin's using
some kind of instrument on me.

179
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,831
Seven?

180
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,517
I didn't recall this before.

181
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,995
Recall what?

182
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,194
Kovin. He performed
a surgical procedure on me.

183
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,440
He... extracted Borg technology
from my body.

184
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,831
He violated me.

185
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:16,114
We're making progress. Tell me, this
surgical procedure. When did it happen?

186
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,676
I don't know. The details are vague.
There are only images.

187
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,155
And you're sure it was Kovin?

188
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,750
- Did you see Kovin?
- Yes.

189
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,760
You said he was restraining you,
using an instrument of some sort?

190
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,430
- He was.
- Were you on Voyager?

191
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,036
No. It must have been when we were
testing the weapons on the surface.

192
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,310
Concentrate on that away mission.

193
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,831
Focus on the first image
that enters your mind.

194
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,031
- Describe it.
- A large granitic stone.

195
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,800
Approximately one half metre high.

196
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,675
Allow that memory
to develop beyond the image.

197
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,271
Integrate it into your consciousness.
Let the memory take shape.

198
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,355
I'm at the weapons range.

199
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:16,271
Kovin had taken us there to evaluate
firearms he wished to offer in trade.

200
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,914
He attempted to impress us with
the weapons' destructive capabilities.

201
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,032
My role was to provide
a more objective analysis.

202
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,515
Terawatt power particle beam rifle.

203
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,792
Four microsecond recharge.
Ten kilometre range.

204
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,312
Definitely not standard Starfleet issue.
What do you think?

205
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,595
72% fragmentation. 28% vaporisation.
Crude, but efficient.

206
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,237
It's not as accurate as our compression
rifles, but it's a lot easier to handle.

207
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,194
I'd like one of these
the next time we run into the Hirogen.

208
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,791
Augmenting the targeting mechanism
with a thermal guidance sensor

209
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,116
would increase accuracy by 24%.

210
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,871
I can do that now. Care to join me?

211
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,595
You can make sure its done
to your specifications.

212
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,394
I'd like to test
some of the other firearms.

213
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,876
Go right ahead. This way.

214
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,155
Kovin took me to a laboratory.

215
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,671
- Describe it.
- It was poorly illuminated.

216
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,919
I saw various instruments,
technology unfamiliar to me.

217
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,920
I assumed this was where
he developed new weapon designs.

218
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,997
This weapon is thoron based.

219
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,512
- Most hand-held disrupters are.
- Thoron can be unstable in weapons.

220
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:48,431
Not if you polarise the emitter matrix.
That compensates for any instabilities.

221
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,551
Watch.

222
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,791
What are you doing?

223
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,436
- He turned the weapon on me.
- He fired?

224
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,757
- Yes. I remember it now.
- What happened next?

225
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,358
I'm not sure.

226
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,429
Concentrate.
See the laboratory in your mind.

227
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,358
There was a light in my eyes.

228
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,792
- Was Kovin still in the room with you?
- Yes.

229
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,718
Restrain her. Quickly.

230
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,400
Another Entharan was assisting him.

231
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,871
- This is Borg technology.
- That's what I've been telling you.

232
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,399
Let me go.

233
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,591
They bound me to a table.

234
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,600
What did they do to you?
Did they scan you?

235
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,235
The bio-ablation pump
is engaged and pressurised.

236
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,873
The implants are activating.
The nanoprobes are multiplying.

237
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,554
They put a device near my head.
They removed my ocular implant.

238
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,551
Then... some of the implants
in my arm were activated.

239
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,957
Which ones? Can you be more specific?

240
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,711
Use the maximum setting
to stimulate the implants.

241
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,436
The assimilation tubules are ready.

242
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Prepare to harvest the nanoprobes.

243
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,399
They extracted nanoprobes
through my assimilation tubules.

244
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,592
I was powerless, unable to stop them.

245
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,591
You couldn't be expected to.
Then what happened?

246
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,315
They took the nanoprobes
to another subject.

247
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,035
Then they... They assimilated him.

248
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,070
Well done.

249
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,473
The next thing I remember
I was back in Kovin's lab.

250
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,719
He claimed the particle beam rifle
overloaded, that it burned my hand.

251
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,480
But it was a lie. They had attacked me.

252
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,558
I'm sorry.
I should have been more careful.

253
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,312
- Do you have a dermal regenerator?
- Of course.

254
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,991
I'll inform the captain.

255
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,629
There's no doubt that Seven
was the victim of a brutal assault.

256
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,479
She's as well as can be expected.

257
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,152
She's regenerating in her alcove. Her
emotional recovery will take some time.

258
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,159
I hope you'll hold Kovin responsible.

259
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,399
How much of her story can we
corroborate? Tom, you were with her.

260
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,911
- How long was she alone with Kovin?
- At least two hours.

261
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,475
Did she say anything later?

262
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,797
Only that they'd finished their work.
She seemed fine.

263
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,879
Clearly Mr Kovin used artificial means
to suppress her memory.

264
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,959
That would explain
the unusual engramatic activity I found.

265
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,675
Did you find physical evidence
of the procedures?

266
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,874
No. I suspect Mr Kovin
used Seven's own nanoprobes

267
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,196
to repair any cellular damage.

268
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,073
She remembers Kovin extracting them.

269
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,556
You are accepting Seven's
recovered memories as fact.

270
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,910
Are you suggesting otherwise?

271
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,953
Recovered memories
often prove unreliable.

272
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,675
When a traumatic experience
has been repressed for years.

273
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,919
We're dealing with a very recent
memory blocked by artificial means.

274
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,192
When I removed that,
Seven remembered everything.

275
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,550
Human memory is rarely perfect.

276
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,991
Are you saying
that Seven is making this up?

277
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:09,910
No, but remember she has experienced
hallucinatory images before.

278
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,874
In response to a signal from the ship
where she was assimilated.

279
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,880
She's not hallucinating.
She's remembering what happened.

280
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,789
I confirmed this
by analysing engramatic activity.

281
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,594
This is not conjecture. This is science.

282
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,075
Let's not get bogged down.

283
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,199
Seven has made serious accusations
and I won't dismiss them.

284
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,872
If Kovin assaulted her and took
Borg technology, we can't ignore it.

285
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,880
In the wrong hands, a single nanoprobe
could lead to disaster.

286
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,234
Doctor, keep searching for any physical
evidence to back up Seven's claim.

287
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,920
I will talk to Kovin. Dismissed.

288
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,720
This is offensive and absurd!
She's obviously lying.

289
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,831
Why would she do that?

290
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,474
Maybe you can answer that.

291
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,752
She attacks me
then invents these ridiculous stories,

292
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,871
and you try to place the blame on me.

293
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,152
- Is this negotiation?
- I have no hidden agenda.

294
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,193
- I'm trying to clarify what happened.
- I told you.

295
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,836
We went to adjust
the guidance system on the rifle.

296
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,397
- And that took two hours?
- She insisted on absolute precision.

297
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,276
We've confirmed that she was exposed
to an intense thoron discharge.

298
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,395
She was, after the rifle's power cell
overloaded. We reported the accident.

299
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,672
She now remembers
that you fired at her deliberately.

300
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,359
That's preposterous.

301
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,757
The blast could have
rendered her unconscious.

302
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,954
It didn't. We were startled for a moment,
and after I apologised for the accident

303
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,232
she asked if I had a dermal regenerator,
which I did.

304
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,432
I used it on her arm,
the one with the implants.

305
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,191
- Which you recognised as Borg.
- I knew she'd been a Borg. She told me.

306
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:04,350
Did you ever express curiosity
in that technology, or try to examine it?

307
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,550
No.

308
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,753
You never considered the potential
value it might have as a weapon?

309
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,240
Is that what you think I've done?

310
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:17,512
Borg technology can be dangerous.

311
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,951
If you've taken even a single nanoprobe,
I heed to know.

312
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,720
I haven't taken anything.

313
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,112
I'd like to examine your laboratory
to be sure.

314
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,471
No. This has already gone too far.

315
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,074
Then I'll have to contact the authorities.
Maybe they'll help.

316
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,635
Are you willing to risk our agreement

317
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,673
all on the basis
of one crew member's delusions?

318
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,398
Yes. Now, are you going to cooperate
with our investigation?

319
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:52,316
I don't seem to have much choice.

320
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,194
So the power cell overloaded as the
result of a faulty oscillator adjustment?

321
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,311
That's right.

322
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,195
Can you describe in more detail
how that occurred?

323
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,239
I was polarising the emitter matrix.

324
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:21,352
I must have tuned
the induction frequency too high.

325
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,074
Were you unfamiliar
with that procedure?

326
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,555
I have done it 100 times.
It was a mistake.

327
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,958
- How many times must I apologise?
- I am not seeking remorse.

328
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,232
Then what do you want?
Are you trying to catch me in a lie?

329
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:38,831
Trick me into confessing? You can't.
There's nothing for me to confess.

330
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,112
I haven't done anything wrong.

331
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,631
One of our crew members
claims that you have.

332
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,911
Your crew member, Seven of Nine.
She's very fortunate.

333
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,553
How so?

334
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,356
She has an entire crew leaping
to her defence. I have no one.

335
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,674
The Entharan representative
will be here.

336
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,236
You mean the magistrate?
He won't help me.

337
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:09,672
He's more interested in protecting
relations with people like you.

338
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,951
Surely he'll want to know the truth.
That's all we're seeking.

339
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,154
You don't understand. On my world,
we depend on trade with alien species.

340
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,671
There are strict protocols
about those relationships.

341
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,997
Even being accused
of violating them is an offence.

342
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:30,397
You will have the opportunity
to refute any charges.

343
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,115
It won't matter. Once they're made,
the damage is done.

344
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,710
I won't be trusted any longer.
I'll be ruined.

345
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,431
Please, I never hurt your crew member.

346
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,916
Don't do this.

347
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,759
I'm afraid I have no choice.

348
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,319
But I assure you, our investigation will
be conducted in an impartial manner.

349
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,880
You strike me as a man of your word.

350
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,794
If you tell me I won't be prejudged,
then I believe you.

351
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,313
- How are you feeling?
- I am undamaged.

352
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,636
But how do you feel?

353
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,640
Seven, your physical scars have healed,

354
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,640
but you'll have to deal with
the psychological effects.

355
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,673
- For what purpose?
- In order to heal.

356
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,271
Kovin attacked you,
violated your rights as an individual.

357
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,755
It's important that you recognise that,

358
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,271
so you can understand any hostility
you might be feeling.

359
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,437
Resentment is a human trait.

360
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,155
It has no structure, no function.
I want no part of it.

361
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,432
You have to accept
that your human feelings exist

362
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,996
and that suppressing them
can damage you.

363
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:57,034
If I am not aware of these feelings,
how can I express them?

364
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,630
Let me ask you this.

365
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,751
What would have happened

366
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,794
if Kovin had tried to take
Borg technology from the collective?

367
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,914
- He would have been assimilated.
- Which is why he chose you.

368
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,635
He could get what he wanted
without running any risks.

369
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,235
It was my individuality
which made me vulnerable.

370
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:23,274
Exactly. He violated that individuality.

371
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,995
What he did is an affront to everything
you are, Borg and human.

372
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,560
- It was the act of a coward.
- Yes!

373
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,957
Someone who was willing
to use you in the cruellest way,

374
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,710
so that he could create new weapons
and sell them.

375
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,711
I believe I'm beginning to experience
anger. Anger toward Kovin.

376
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,674
Good. That's a perfectly healthy,
normal response.

377
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,919
And when Kovin gets what he deserves,
you're going to feel much better.

378
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,675
Right this way, Magistrate.
My laboratory.

379
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,356
There are no examination tables.

380
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,438
- Just work benches.
- Is this the entire facility?

381
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:10,755
Yes.

382
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,351
We should scan for signs that the room
may have been altered recently.

383
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,880
Seven described
instruments similar to these.

384
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,071
Of course she did. She was here.

385
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,990
She said a device like this was used
to remove her optic implant.

386
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:32,111
That's a micro-calliper.

387
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,199
I used it to remove the casings
over the guidance system on the rifle.

388
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,713
- Isn't this an electro-dynamic probe?
- Yes.

389
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,640
It has a mono-filament stimulator.

390
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,957
Could it manipulate
neuro-transmitter levels?

391
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,879
- Not as it is.
- But with proper modifications?

392
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,119
I could reconfigure your combadge
to manipulate neuro-transmitters.

393
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,471
- What's your point?
- I believe you've just made it.

394
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,475
There is cellular residue
on many of these instruments.

395
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,955
It matches Seven's genome.

396
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,871
I'd like to take these tools
back to Voyager

397
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,957
to run more conclusive scans.

398
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,878
Take whatever you need.

399
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,836
Doctor, there are Borg nanoprobes
on the surface of this table.

400
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,315
I'll just collect a sample.

401
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,432
That's where her arm was hit
when the rifle overloaded.

402
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,712
The pattern is consistent
with a dermal rupture.

403
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,559
These nanoprobes
were recently regenerated.

404
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,470
If this were residue from Seven's injury,
the nanoprobes would be dormant.

405
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,594
But these have been activated
in a very specific pattern.

406
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,711
I have seen enough.

407
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,914
Kovin, there is sufficient evidence to
detain you pending official proceedings.

408
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,511
No. Please. No.

409
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,915
- Stay where you are.
- Kovin, don't.

410
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,874
I trusted you. You said it would be
an impartial investigation.

411
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,595
But you're all determined
to find what you want to find.

412
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,075
I'm not going to let this happen.

413
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,316
- Tuvok to Voyager.
- Janeway here.

414
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,670
Mr Kovin has transported away.

415
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,589
- Can you track his present position?
- Stand by.

416
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,315
There's a transporter signature
300kms above the surface.

417
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,558
A ship is powering its engines
at those coordinates.

418
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,799
- Do you want us to follow him?
- Yes, but I'd like to join you.

419
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,992
Very well. We'll beam you aboard.
Stand by.

420
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,075
Kovin's ship
is on a heading of 18, mark 25.

421
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,636
Set an intercept course.
Get ready to lock on a tractor beam.

422
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,037
He's only at half impulse.
He may not have warp engines.

423
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,800
We're at 9,000kms and closing.

424
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,560
I'm engaging the tractor beam.

425
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,751
I can't find him. All of my sensor
readings have disappeared.

426
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,838
A photonic pulse took them off-line.

427
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,510
We'll have to reinitialise
the entire sensor array.

428
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,035
Our investigation's suddenly
turned into a manhunt.

429
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,073
He's got something to hide.

430
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,194
Until we find out what that is,
we can't risk letting him go.

431
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,756
Captain's log, stardate 51679.4.

432
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,192
We've detected the warp signature
from Kovin's ship and are in pursuit.

433
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,711
Tuvok and I have been
examining Kovin's tools.

434
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,831
This isn't getting us anywhere.

435
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,759
Seven's residue
is on every one of these,

436
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,030
but it would be if she handled them.

437
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,312
My examination of the rifle
is equally inconclusive.

438
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,592
It may have overloaded accidentally,
or not.

439
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,992
I'm getting a bad feeling
about this, Tuvok.

440
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,715
We aren't finding anything
that implicates Kovin.

441
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,073
I told him our investigation would
be impartial. I believe it has been.

442
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,831
It has, but I'll admit I had
some preconceptions about him.

443
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,520
They may have influenced
my judgment.

444
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,520
The strongest evidence so far
is the nanoprobes the Doctor found.

445
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,669
They were regenerated. That suggests
that Kovin was experimenting with them.

446
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,919
We don't know much about nanoprobes
and Borg physiology.

447
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,273
It might be worth simulating the effect
of the rifle blast on Seven's arm

448
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,358
and see what happens
to the nanoprobes.

449
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,393
Maybe that'll give us some answers.

450
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,079
Is this really necessary?
She's suffered enough trauma already.

451
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,352
We don't want to accuse
an innocent man.

452
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,711
We have to find concrete evidence.

453
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,992
He is not an innocent man.
I know what he did to me.

454
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,239
But we must have proof and
this experiment may provide us with it.

455
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,149
We've configured this to simulate
the energy of a thoron blast.

456
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,636
We'll examine the effects
on your skin tissue.

457
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,957
- It won't be painful.
- I am not afraid. I am angry.

458
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,960
I know. Try to be patient.
We may have some answers soon.

459
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,035
All right, let's see what we've got.

460
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,320
I think you'd better take a look.

461
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,276
What do you see?

462
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:14,713
The nanoprobes are regenerating in
the same way as in Kovin's laboratory.

463
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,116
It is a spontaneous response

464
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:20,278
caused by the energy
released from the weapon.

465
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,516
It doesn't matter. Kovin is guilty.

466
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,759
Seven, there's no doubt in my mind
that you believe what you're saying.

467
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,871
But is it possible

468
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,153
that the memories you and the Doctor
recovered aren't accurate?

469
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,476
How could that be?

470
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:41,391
With the Borg, you were subjected
to invasive medical procedures.

471
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,989
You witnessed other victims
being assimilated.

472
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,758
Could that be what you're remembering?

473
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,155
You know that's not right. Tell them.

474
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,079
Everything suggested
that you were a victim.

475
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:59,036
Your extreme response to Kovin,
your fear when I was examining you.

476
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,151
Something prompted that,

477
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,398
and I believed it was a memory
of your ordeal with Kovin.

478
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,954
That is what it was.

479
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,835
But if I'm to be impartial,
I have to acknowledge

480
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,555
that your neurology
is still a mystery to me.

481
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,832
I can't be certain
what triggered those memories

482
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,431
and we can't ignore the fact that
this evidence supports Kovin's story,

483
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,551
and not yours.

484
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,833
You helped me to understand what
happened and now you're denying it.

485
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,759
Seven, we have to do what's right.

486
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,351
We have to find Kovin
and tell him what we've learned.

487
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,951
The Doctor told me I would feel better
when Kovin gets what he deserves.

488
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:45,109
I want him to be punished.
I won't settle for anything less.

489
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,000
- Mr Paris?
- He's in range.

490
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,033
Visual. Hail him.

491
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,876
- No response. He's charging weapons.
- Open a channel, all frequencies.

492
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,913
Mr Kovin, this is Captain Janeway.

493
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,475
We've made a mistake in accusing you.

494
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,753
We only want to correct the situation.
Stand down your weapons.

495
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,796
He's responding.

496
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,480
Stop your pursuit.
I can damage your ship.

497
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,513
- We won't take you by force.
- Then let me go.

498
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,315
Kovin, the proceedings
must be resolved.

499
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,158
This is a trap.

500
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,238
We have information
that supports your story.

501
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,955
- I don't believe you.
- We've re-examined the evidence.

502
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,959
The nanoprobes led us
to the wrong conclusion.

503
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,596
We know now that your thoron rifle
did overload. Please.

504
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,239
He's firing a spread of photon pulses.

505
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,356
- Shields down to 82%.
- Back off. Give him breathing room.

506
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,551
He's heading right for us.

507
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,637
- Direct hit to the power grid.
- He's going to destroy your vessel.

508
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,515
He's come under enough fire already.
Beam him off his ship.

509
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,599
- I can't get a lock.
- Keep trying.

510
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:29,714
- Shields are down.
- All power to his photonic emitters.

511
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,309
Disable his ship!

512
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,115
No! Evasive manoeuvres,
hard to port, full thrusters.

513
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,151
I've almost got a lock on him.

514
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,432
He's charging weapons.
His emitters are overloading.

515
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,517
His systems are destabilising.

516
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,678
Open a channel.
Shut down your scattering field.

517
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,189
Let us beam you aboard.

518
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,038
- Kovin!
- He's firing.

519
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,351
Harry.

520
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,600
I can't find anything to lock onto.

521
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,876
There's nothing more
we could have done.

522
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,071
Stand down Red Alert.

523
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,712
Set a course
back to the Entharan Colony.

524
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,916
Chief medical officer's log,
stardate 51658.2.

525
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,511
I've spent the past three days being
cross-examined by the authorities.

526
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
But the matter is finally resolved.

527
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,356
- Doctor.
- Yes.

528
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,711
- I'm here for my weekly maintenance.
- Of course.

529
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,831
This way, please.

530
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,160
Metabolic rate is stable.

531
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,875
Electro-optic implant is aligned.

532
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,995
Your blood pressure is slightly off,
but within tolerance.

533
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,760
You're in perfect health.
See you next week.

534
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,351
- I do not feel perfect.
- What do you mean?

535
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,756
I am preoccupied by Kovin's death.

536
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,799
Join the club. It's all I can think about.

537
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:58,030
As a Borg, I was responsible for
the death of millions and I felt nothing.

538
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,279
But now I regret the destruction
of this single being.

539
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,634
It's called remorse, Seven. It comes
into play when you make a mistake...

540
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,992
...and you feel guilt
about what you've done.

541
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,272
Another new emotion
for you to experience.

542
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,472
I do not enjoy remorse
any more than I enjoyed anger.

543
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,834
- Will the feeling subside?
- Yes, but not quickly.

544
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,477
- I would rather not have to wait.
- You don't have much choice.

545
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,671
But maybe I do.

546
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,717
I've isolated the algorithms

547
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,755
responsible for my desire to expand
beyond my original programming.

548
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,669
- I want to delete them.
- Why?

549
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,952
It was my urge to experiment,

550
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,199
my infatuation with improving myself,
that led to this tragedy.

551
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,319
I fancied myself a psychologist,
a ship's counsellor.

552
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,320
But I wasn't prepared
for such a responsibility.

553
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,991
In my enthusiasm to help Seven of Nine,
I lost my medical objectivity.

554
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:19,149
I became self-righteous.
I didn't stop to think for one second

555
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,271
that I might be wrong.

556
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,911
That mustn't happen again.

557
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,079
You want to go back to the state you
were in when we first activated you?

558
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,034
I'll still be capable
of treating all medical conditions,

559
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,755
but without the risk
of overstepping my bounds.

560
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,669
- It's for the best, Captain.
- I'm not so sure.

561
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,754
This crew has benefited greatly from
your improvements over the years.

562
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:51,431
Request denied. I won't turn back
the clock because of one mistake.

563
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,393
No matter how serious.

564
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,716
And no matter how you might feel.

565
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,879
I'm a physician. I'm supposed
to preserve life, not destroy it.

566
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,838
I can't live with the thought
that I might do it again.

567
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:24,151
With any luck, that knowledge
will prevent it from happening again.

568
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,069
We all rallied around Seven, Doctor,
myself included.

569
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,639
I wanted her to know
she was part of this family,

570
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,752
that we would support her, fight for her.

571
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,475
We let our good intentions blind us.

572
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,195
We all bear responsibility
for Kovin's death.

573
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,479
And we all have to live with it.

574
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,958
But to delete that burden would be
the last thing any of us should do.

575
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,320
