- Archer to Commander Tucker. - Go ahead.
I know you're off duty, but we've got visitors.
- I can see that. - Are you up for a little repair work?
Sir?
- Meet me at Docking Port 2. - On my way.
It's been a long road
Gettin' from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I will see my dream Come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna Hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna change my mind
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
Anything serious?
They said they were having trouble with one of their life-support systems.
- Who's they? - Retellian cargo pilots.
The seal is secure.
Welcome aboard.
Gracious of you to help us, Captain.
We were beginning to think...
our distress call would never be answered.
This is Subcommander T'Pol and my chief engineer, Commander Tucker.
Our salvation.
The Captain said something about life support.
We were hired to return a young woman to her homeworld.
A few days ago, her stasis pod began to malfunction.
- Stasis? Is she injured? - No.
She's a passenger, but our ship is designed to haul cargo...
not people, and it's a very long journey.
Putting her in suspended animation was our only choice.
We have another five months ahead of us.
If she wakes up, there won't be enough food or air to breathe.
If we're forced to abort the mission, we won't get paid.
Cdr. Tucker is resourceful.
I'm sure he'll be able to assist you.
- Mind if I have a look? - Please.
You've been very accommodating.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to make another request.
It's been a long time since we've enjoyed the luxury...
of a bath.
I understand. T'Pol will show you to guest quarters.
When you're done, I'll have my chef prepare you a meal.
When you're done, I'll have my chef prepare you a meal.
This regulates power flow to the biopod.
Looks very creative.
These relays are from an old Ardanan shuttle.
They weren't designed to carry this much current.
I've got some EPS conduits that might do the trick.
This would be a lot easier if I could read your language.
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask our communications officer to help me.
By all means.
Is there a problem?
No. No problem.
I'm going to need some tools from Enterprise.
With a little luck...
Sleeping Beauty here will never know there was a problem.
Come in.
I hope I didn't deplete your water supply.
I'm sure we'll manage. Please.
T'Pol tells me your vessel can't do much better than warp 2.
Warp 2.2.
I've been making some calculations.
If I'm not mistaken, at warp 4.5...
Enterprise can have you at your destination in less than four days.
That's a generous offer...
but I've already inconvenienced you far too much.
It's no inconvenience.
We're out here to meet new people.
You're heading toward an inhabited world we've never seen.
First contacts tend to go more smoothly...
when a familiar face is making the introductions.
I'm sure you'll do fine on your own.
You could dock in our launch bay.
You wouldn't have to worry about that stasis pod.
We have plenty of room for you and your passenger.
It's not that simple, Captain.
This has all been carefully prearranged.
Her family's not expecting her for another five months.
They're not even on her homeworld at the moment.
But I will accept your offer of a meal...
if it's not too late.
Commander?
- Hello? - Is that the translation?
- Give or take an adverb. - Thanks.
At least you don't have to work alone.
Hell of a way to travel, isn't it?
Who is she? Any idea?
I asked Plinn, but he doesn't know too much about her.
Said something about studying medicine in a research colony.
- A doctor? - I suppose so.
She must have a real passion for it if she's willing to go through all this.
Shame we'll never get to meet her.
It's not polite to stare, Commander.
What's that supposed to mean?
Let me know if you have any problems with that translation.
I wasn't staring.
Hoshi?
Are you all right?
- Problem? - The stasis pod.
- What about it? - It's malfunctioning.
If you'll excuse me, Captain.
- I'll show you to the docking port. - I know the way.
- What are you doing? - Help me open this thing.
- We can't bring her out of stasis. - She's suffocating.
The release is jammed. Don't bother.
I'm sorry about this. The O-2 recycler went off-line.
You're going to be all right.
Yes?
There's a minor problem. I'm going to need your assistance.
What kind of problem?
The malfunction is more complicated than I expected.
I'll be there in a moment.
- I don't mean to be rude. - Not at all.
Archer to Commander Tucker.
Trip, can you hear me?
Archer to Lieutenant Reed.
- Mr Plinn? - That's right.
Lieutenant Reed. The Captain asked me to escort you back to your ship.
- That won't be necessary. - I'm afraid I'm under orders.
- Have I done something wrong? - It's just a precaution.
I didn't realise leaving the Captain's table would cause so much concern.
- He's trying to break loose. - Secure the docking clamps.
- Report. - He hasn't gotten far at warp 2, sir.
- Hail him. - No response.
Phase-cannons. Target his engines.
Direct hit to the port nacelle. He's dropping out of warp.
Bring us into grappling range. Hail him again.
Captain.
T'Pol?
Dilithium hydroxyls. Ionised pyrosulfates.
He's moving off.
Stay with him.
I thought you took out one of his nacelles.
- So did I. - Our warp drive won't engage.
That cloud he released, it got into the plasma vents.
They'll have to be purged.
He's moving out of sensor range.
I've lost him.
What the hell did you do that for?
Hold on.
I'm not working with them.
Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you.
I'm from a starship called Enterprise.
Enterprise.
Now put that thing down, and I'll untie you.
Your hands. I'll free your hands.
Let me help you.
- What the hell's going on? - Is it repaired?
- What? - The stasis pod.
Where's Captain Archer?
Your ship is a long way from here.
Repair the pod so we can put her back in stasis.
It's going to take a few hours.
Work quickly.
You're welcome?
Have you seen a little device?
It's about this big, has a keypad on it.
It's my Universal Translator.
It'll help us understand each other.
That's it.
It's just so we can talk.
I need you to say something. You got to keep talking.
A little more.
Can you understand me?
Where's Hoshi when you need her?
- Who is Hoshi? - That's better.
Would you mind telling me what's going on here?
How long have I been in stasis?
You'd have to ask them.
Commander Tucker to Enterprise.
Enterprise, do you hear me?
- You are an officer? - Chief Engineer.
Feels like we've gone to warp.
Explain yourself. What do you know about my abductors?
We thought they were cargo pilots.
They claimed you were their passenger.
I am their prisoner.
I was returning from a diplomatic mission...
when they attacked my transport, murdered my guards.
You don't know who I am, do you?
Should I?
My family is known on hundreds of worlds.
I'm afraid Earth isn't one of them.
So I take it you're not a doctor.
I am First Monarch of the Sovereign Dynasty of Krios Prime.
Charles Tucker III. Pleased to meet you.
- So what do these guys want? - Ransom.
No doubt they'll demand a high price for my safe return.
Listen, my captain will be looking for me.
All we have to do is get off this ship and let them know where we are.
