 on Star Trek: Enterprise...
        I know you are
    on an urgent mission.
        Who are you?
    Don't be frightened.
    What do you want?
You are searching for something.
        I can help.
            MALE:
        He was horrified
    that seven million of us
        were killed.
            FEMALE:
    He says he's willing
    to use his abilities
to help us find the Xindi.
        What's this?
It helps me extend the range
        of my telepathy.
He gave me
these coordinates.
    What are they for?
        A Xindi colony.
He said they
were building part
of the weapon there.
            We're preparing
            to test the weapon
            on an uninhabited
            planet in the
            Calindra System,
        but we're going
        to need another
        shipment of kemocite--
                at least
                100 kilograms.
    I'll contact Gralik.
If the test is successful,
how long before we
can deploy the weapon?
            A matter of weeks.

            There are no
            defensive systems?
    No active sensor sweeps
or artificial satellites.
    No vessels anywhere
        in the vicinity.
We've seen how different
Xindi technology is.
They could have defenses
we can't detect.
        It's also possible
        that what we were told
            about this colony
            isn't accurate.
                We're putting
                a lot of faith
            in Hoshi's
            telepathic friend.
        What about
    these energy readings?
    They could be coming
    from a weapons complex.
            They could also be
            electrical storms,
            deposits of
            diamagnetic ore...
Or a glitch
in our sensors. I know.
But, if there's
any chance
that something
on that planet
            could lead us to
            the Xindi weapon,
                we have to
                investigate it.
After we enter the system,
we'll stay on the far side
        of that moon.
It should
keep us out of view.
Tell Major Hayes
he'll be joining us
on a reconnaissance mission.
    We launch in two hours.
Archer to Enterprise.
        Go ahead.
I've found a landing site
12 kilometers north
of the energy readings.
Any sign
they've detected us?
Scans are still negative.
Your signal is breaking up.
                I've set a steep
                approach vector.
And we've ionized the hull.
    It'll help disperse
    any scanning beams.
        Acknowledged.
Anyone sees us,
they'll think we're a meteor.
    How much farther?
                    800 meters.
            Just over that rise.
That's definitely the source
of the energy readings.
        They're Xindi.
HAYES:
Reptilian?
            No.
                One of the
                other species
                we saw in
                the database.
            ARCHER:
 We've picked up readings
     across the spectrum--
    positron emissions,
    antiproton bursts.
Whatever they're doing in there,
it's using a lot of power.
Corporal Hawkins is standing by
    with an assault team.
            ARCHER:
Tell him to keep standing by.
        I'm not ready
to send in the troops just yet.
We've checked out the perimeter
        of the complex.
I think we can get inside
    without being detected.
We'll maintain
communications silence
inside the complex.
I'll contact you
at 0400.
Archer out.
        I'm not picking up
        any security devices.
What about people?
            Approximately 80
            inside the complex,
            but none
            within 100 meters.
            Captain.
            Some kind of
            radiolytic compound.
        Doesn't match anything
        in our database.
            There's several
            hundred kilograms
            in this room.
    ( door hissing open )
        There were impurities
            in the last three
            production cycles.
    We found a ruptured seal
        in the tertiary
    processing chamber.
    It's been repaired.
                We'll have to
                increase the
                production rate
                by at least 60%.
            Assign two
            additional teams.
Degra isn't
being realistic.
                This facility
                wasn't designed
        to manufacture
        such large quantities.
            Your job
is to synthesize kemocite.
I suggest you get back to it.
Have these canisters retested.
    Salvage what you can,
    then destroy the rest.
We have it, Captain.
            ARCHER:
    I need an analysis
    a soon as possible.
Acknowledged.
Captain, this
place obviously
has something
to do with the weapon.
Seems to me,
the sooner we put it
out of commission,
the better.
            HAYES:
            Two spatial charges.
                That's all
                it would take
            to destroy the
            complex from orbit.
That might set them back
for a while,
but we can't lose sight
of our main objective.
I want to know where
they're shipping this kemocite.
It could lead us
to the weapon.
I have some questions for you.
GRALIK:
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
        Sit down!
There's nobody else here, sir.
Apparently he lives alone.
Stand watch outside.
            What's your name?
    Gralik Durr.
    My name's Jonathan Archer.
                I'm from Earth.
Is that supposed to explain
why you've forced your way
        into my home?
    Tell me about kemocite.
It's a multiphasic isotope.
        Used for what?
There are numerous applications.
    It depends on the level
        of refinement.
You're working with someone
        named Degra.
        Who is he?
That's none of your concern.
        What's he using it for?
    Kemocite can be used
for any number of purposes.
    I don't make a habit
    of asking our clients
what they plan to do with it.
            Maybe you should,
    because this batch is being
    used to create a weapon
    to exterminate my people!
    What?
    I want to know where
    the weapon is being built
and when it's gong to be ready.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
    I'm not leaving here until
    I get the answers I need.
        I managed to identify
        a subquantum imprint.
    It matches the signature
    of the Xindi probe.
            There's no doubt
            about it, Captain.
    This isotope was used in the
    weapon that attacked Earth.
    T'POL ( over com ):
Have you learned anything
    from the interrogation?
Not yet, but this should help.
            TUCKER:
There's something else, Captain.
            I ran a scan on that
            rifle we picked up.
    There it was again,
    the same quantum imprint.
            I'd like permission
            to take it apart.
    Go ahead.
We'll contact you
in a couple of hours.
            T'POL:
        Understood.
        Congratulations, sir.
    Three months ago, we entered
    the Expanse with no idea
            who these Xindi were
            or how to find them,
and now we're about to destroy
one of their weapons facilities.
I thought we were here to try
and stop a war, not start one.
            They struck first.
Because they were told
we're going to attack them.
They think they're acting
in self-defense.
By destroying this complex,
we'll be confirming their
worst fears about humanity.
        Let's not forget
        the seven million
        people who were killed.
Have Major Hayes lay down
blast suppressors.
When the facility goes,
I don't want to take the rest
of the settlement with it.
        Whatbout Gralik, sir?
            He'll tell them
            about Enterprise.
I'll deal with Gralik
when the time comes.
I don't intend to let anyone
know we were here.
    I can't imagine what
    the captain wants this for.
He was quite insistent.
        We ran the quantum
        analysis three times.
Doesn't he trust us?
        He said he needed it
        to help prove a point.
        How long are you
    going to keep me here?
That's up to Captain Archer.
Well, you can tell him
that I'll be in my study.
    I'm afraid you're going to
    have to stay right here.
I have work to do.
        And I'm under orders.
                Please sit down.
I've already told you
everything I know.
GRALIK:
Ah, Captain Archer!
I was beginning to think
you'd forgotten about me.
You said you weren't involved
    in building weapons.
        That's correct.
                Explain this.
        ( clattering )
I don't know what this is.
It's a fragment of a probe that
murdered seven million people.
( drops fragment on table )
    The dead pilot was Xindi,
            the alloy is Xindi,
        and it's imprinted with
        the quantum signature
            of the compound
            you produce here!
We know you're constructing
a larger version of the weapon,
big enough to destroy a planet!
        I want to know
    where it's being built!
    You burst into my home,
show me some
    twisted piece of metal
    and tell me it proves
    I'm a mass murderer?!
I've never seen
your species before.
I've never heard of
a planet called Earth,
and whether you believe me
or not, I had nothing to do
with killing millions
of its inhabitants.
I'm flattered you requested
my assistance, Commander,
    but weaponry isn't exactly
    my area of expertise.
Well, my scans of this thing
showed organic components,
        and I figured
    anything biological
is more your turf than mine.
        ( sighs )
        ( latch clicks )
    What do you think?
Well, they appear to be
generating synaptic impulses.
        ( sighs )
        Is it alive?
            Wouldn't make a very
            good pet but, uh...
                    ( sniffs )
        ...definitely organic.
    And it seems to have
    reproductive capabilities.
            The kemocite is
            extremely refined.
Did it come
from this facility?
                        It did.
    We supply many species with
    kemocite, not just Xindi.
It has countless applications.
    When Degra requested
    shipments so highly refined,
        we celebrated,
    realizing the wealth
it would bring to our colony.
We never considered why
he wanted such pure kemocite.
Perhaps our greed blinded us
    from the possibility
    that it would be used
    in constructing a weapon.
    Is Degra a Reptilian?
    No, he's a Xindi-Primate.
        I met one...
    at a mining complex.
            They're similar
            to you, ape-like.
        Degra and his people
        have always been fair...
                    truthful.
            That may have been
            why I believed him
                when he said
                the shipment was
                for research.
        Perhaps they've become
            as untrustworthy
            as the Reptilians.
We've run into
a few of them, too.
It's hard to imagine
five sentient species
evolving on the same planet.
                        Five?
                Hmm, I suppose
                there are now.
No, thanks.
                    Do you mind?
        No, go ahead.
            ( smacking lips )
                    Mmm...
            There was a sixth
            species, the Avians.
            They've been gone
            since the war.
    Gone?
                        Extinct.
    As far as I'm told,
    none of them fled
    before our homeworld
        was destroyed.
We found some debris.
How did it happen?
        The war went on for
        nearly a hundred years.
        The sides changed,
        alliances were forged,
        then broken.
By the time it ended, I doubt
if any of the six species
    remember what started it...
        but everyone remembered
        what ended it.
        As well as being
        unstable politically,
        our planet was even more
        unstable geologically.
                In a final,
                desperate act,
            the Insectoids
            and the Reptilians
            detonated massive
            explosions
    beneath the eight
    largest seismic fissures.
            I'd like to think
            they didn't realize
            how devastating
            the result would be.
                My grandfather
                lived there.
    He told me of places where
        the sky was sometimes
        filled with Avians.
            Now they're gone.
    The other five species
        did survive.
    From what I can tell,
    they don't all live
    on remote colonies
        like this one.
    The descendants of those
        that escaped
        are scattered
    across the Expanse.
Many live peaceful lives,
    but obviously not all.
HAYES:
Captain?
    I'll be right back.
Sir?
        It's okay.
                The suppressors
                are in place.
        The blast wave should
        be mostly confined
        to the facility.
            Sir, I noticed a lot
of activity down there.
It seemed like
something is going on.
    ( communicator beeps )
            Archer.
            T'POL:
Captain, we've detected a ship
    approaching the planet.
    The hull configuration
    matches the Xindi vessel
    that attacked us.
        Reptilians.
        I trust all is in order.
            See to it, Sloth.
            Recognize anyone?
We didn't expect you soon.
There're still...
                Where's Gralik?!
We're trying
to locate...
The Reptilians seem rather
upset about something.
You got something?
        I've been running scans
        of the weapon's
        organic component.
    It's neural pathways
    appear to help modulate
    the rifle's power output.
    It's the most sophisticated
    example of bio-mechanical
    engineering I've ever seen.
You said you had
good news, Doc.
                    Ah, yes.
            I've been attempting
            to break down
                this creature's
                immune system.
You're trying
to make it sick?
    Mm. However, it's proving
    to be quite resilient.
            A sustained burst
            of delta radiation.
If we rig up
portable EM emitters,
We could knock out
Reptilian weapons
before any of them get
a chance to pull the trigger.
                In theory.
    Unfortunately, the amount
    of radiation required
        would be extremely
        hazardous to any humans
                    in the area.
It's still
a place to start.
Great work, Doc.
Keep at it.
    Oh, and, Commander...
        I'd avoid exposing any
        of the Xindi technology
        to omicron radiation.
    It seems to thrive on it.
I'll keep that in mind.
They're ahead of schedule.
We weren't expecting them
    for another three days.
You might not have
much time left
to accomplish
your mission.
    What makes you say that?
We've been processing kemocite
for them for nearly six months.
    They're here for their
        final shipment.
    Captain, I'm the primary
technician at this facility.
They'll want to talk
to me before accepting delivery.
To confirm that all of their
technical requirements
        have been met.
    I may be able to obtain
    some information for you
about this weapon.
    That could be dangerous.
I'm willing to take that risk.
    How do I know you won't
        expose us--
tell them about Enterprise?
I'm proud of my craft, Captain.
    I've practiced it
        for many years.
    I won't let my work
        be corrupted
in this way.
    Seven million people.
If I'd chosen
my clients
more carefully, that tragedy
    might not have happened.
    I don't intend to let it
        happen again.
            Archer.
            REED:
    Captain, there are two
        Xindi bio-signs
    heading this way.
        ( knocking )
                Gralik,
                are you there?
        Gralik!
Degra's probably wondering
        where I am.
His companions don't like
to be kept waiting.
        ( knocking )
            REED:
            Captain.
        They've gone.
They'll return...
probably with armed Reptilians.
REED:
Just because you didn't
show up for work?
            There are fewer than
            a hundred people
            on this planet.
    It doesn't go unnoticed
    when one of them is missing.
    Degra won't leave until
    he sees the results
of the final isotopic analysis.
You should reconsider my offer.
TUCKER:
That's good, right there.
T'POL:
Are you sure this is wise?
    That's four inches
    of solid duranium.
    If this thing can blast
    a hole through it,
    then we're in even worse
    trouble than we thought.
                Still, it might
                be prudent
        to find a more suitable
        environment to test it.
    We don't have time
    to go looking for some
    deserted asteroid,
If I may--
Commander Tucker and I
have learned all we can
from examining the workings
of the device.
A practical test is
the next logical step.
    I've rigged up four of
Malcolm's forcefield emitters.
    They'll contain any
        blast debris.
What about radiation
and particle disbursement?
We know nothing
about this device.
            That's the point.
    Those Xindi took out
    half of our security force
        when they came aboard.
        Now, if we don't start
        making some progress
understanding their weapons,
we won't stand a chance in hell
            of beating them
            when the time comes.
Let me know
when you're ready.
        Give us an hour.
                    More delays?
We did surprise them
by arriving early.
            That's no excuse.
        They should have been
        ready by now.
    Such lethargic creatures.
You could learn
something from them.
    Patience, for example.
        Where's Gralik?
We can't find him.
                    In a complex
                    this size
                how difficult
                could it be?
    We've searched everywhere.
            No one's seen him.
He often takes walks
outside the settlement.
                    Walks?
Without his analysis,
I can't proceed.
                We've organized
                search teams.
        We don't have time
        for you to go foraging
        through the forest.
                We'll find him
                ourselves.
    What is it?
        Someone's closing
        on our position, sir.
400 meters.
                    Reptilians?
I'm not certain.
350 meters.
                Stay with him.
    Still closing, sir.
        200 meters.
            150.
            They're bloody fast,
            whoever they are.
        Take cover!
        It's a Seeker.
The Reptilians built them
    for reconnaissance.
They were used to great effect
        during the war.
            It seems as though
            you may have been
            exposed after all.
Let's hope they didn't
get a very good look at us.
            There's some caves
            not far ahead.
            They should provide
            us with cover--
            in case we encounter
            any more of those.
        Ready, Doc?
            Ready.
What's wrong?
    It won't fire.
    I don't understand.
        Perhaps it has
        a safety device.
        ( whining )
What's that?
        It's coming
        from the weapon.
    Looks like some kind
        of countdown.
The energy levels
                are increasing.
It's overloading.
    I can't shut it down.
Damn thing's booby-trapped.
If you remove
the power cell...
        It'll just grow back.
        ( sighs )
Quick thinking,
Commander.
                You were right.
We probably should have found
    a nice empty asteroid
        to test it on.
        ( sighs )
    The Xindi ship is
        still in orbit.
    We haven't detected
    any other vessels.
        Understood.
    Captain, if the Xindi
have detected your presence,
I strongly urge you to return
        to the ship.
I appreciate your concern,
    but we still have a few
loose ends to tie up down here.
        Archer out.
Anything?
            No, sir.
    We just might have stopped
    those bloodhounds
        before they transmitted
        our position.
Let's hope so.
    No sign of the Reptlians.
I doubt they'll
find us.
That's topaline ore.
It should disrupt
their scanners.
    Even their Seekers
won't locate us here.
    What do you intend
    to do now, Captain,
    destroy our facility?
Do you plan to wait
until I'm back inside,
or will you simply dispose of me
    here in the forest?
    I've been considering
        another option.
    I'd certainly like
        to hear it.
The people on this colony
    had nothing to do
with the attack on my planet.
I'll be damned if I'm going
    to make them pay for it.
    You offered to help us.
    Are you still willing?
    If you're prepared
        to trust me.
    Then we'll give them
    their kemocite...
    but it won't be exactly
    what they ordered.
Make sure he gets home safely.
                    Yes, sir.
    It would be better
        if I went alone.
        Good luck.
            And you.
                Permission to
                speak freely.
        Go ahead.
    I'm not sure it was wise
        to let him go.
        He could lead the
        Reptilians back here.
Are you speaking freely
as well, Major?
                Just offering
                a tactical
                assessment, sir.
    Noted.
He said he'd help us.
I believe him.
            It's the captain.
                Go ahead, sir.
Tell the army to hold off
on those spatial charges.
There's been a change of plans.
Is everything all right?
    I'll let you know
    in a couple of hours.
Right now, I have an assignment
    for you and Hoshi.
They're looking for you.
        Have you started
        loading the shipment?
        Not yet.
                Good. I want
                to run another
                refinement test.
We've completed
three already.
The impurities are less
than six parts per million.
        We have to be
    absolutely certain
        that we've met
    their specifications.
                You know how
                important this
                is to all of us.
We should get started.
        You two perform
    the isotopic analysis.
I'll run the submolecular scans.
        We've got it.
                We've modified
                the radiolytic
                signature.
                If you can
                get it onboard,
                their ship,
                    I'll be able
                    to track it.
        Understood.
            Where were you?
My personal activities
aren't your concern.
            And do your
            personal activities
            involve destroying
            one of our Seekers?
I was hunting
tree scarabs.
Your drone
was frightening them.
    Who was with you?
I prefer to spend
my time in the forest alone.
            Our scans detected
            other bio-signs.
        I was alone.
If you saw the drone,
you knew we were here.
Why didn't you return?
You're two days early.
What are you doing?
Trying some final tests.
            What kind of tests?
            We were told the
            shipment was ready.
        42 years.
        That's how long
I've been running this facility.
And never once have I allowed
a single gram of kemocite
to leave the premises unless
it was perfectly calibrated.
    I take pride in my work.
    But, if you're so eager
        to get underway,
then go ahead,
take your shipment!
But, if it doesn't
meet your requirements,
don't expect me to produce
another hundred
kilograms overnight,
because we do have
other clients beside you.
        Finish quickly.
There are two of them,
loading containers.
            Stand by, Captain.
        Acknowledged.
They're heading back.
            You're clear, sir.
    Reed to Enterprise.
                Go ahead.
    The captain is inside
    the Xindi shuttle.
                Acknowledged.
        I hope you've enjoyed
    your short visit here.
    Captain?
Three Xindi have just come out
        of the complex.
        Understood.
    Lieutenant Reed, report.
We've run into a small problem.
        Stand by.
We appreciate
your efforts.
Perhaps you'll need our services
        in the future.
            Perhaps.
    I'll miss the pleasure
        of your company.
We should go, Degra.
            We're behind
            schedule already.
We've invested a great deal
        in this project.
            And you've been
            well-paid for it.
        Yes. You've been
    more than generous,
    but I'd appreciate
    if you could tell me
    what this shipment
    is being used for.
        I don't think
it's an unreasonable request.
    It doesn't concern you.
    It concerns all of us.
    We've learned there's
    a threat to our people.
    What kind of threat?
A ruthless alien species.
        If we don't act,
    they'll destroy us.
I'm glad we could contribute.
        Take pride
in what you've done here.
    Archer to Enterprise.
    Go ahead.
    What's the status
    of that Xindi ship?
        They broke orbit
five minutes ago, Captain.
    Are you picking up
    the tracking signal?
                Loud and clear.
    Keep an eye on it.
We'll be back as soon as we can.
Acknowledged.
        Thank you.
Is something wrong?
        I may have just
    betrayed my people
to a ruthless alien species.
I promise you, you haven't.
        Please trust me.
        To trust.
Eventually, Degra's
going to discover
that you sabotaged
his kemocite.
        It should delay their
        progress considerably.
                    Don't worry.
They'll come back here.
        I can deal with Degra
        and his friends.
            You should
            just be concerned
                    with finding
                    this weapon.
    Their ship entered
        an energy portal
    after it left orbit.
We've lost our tracking signal.
    The portal's range
is only a few light-years.
                Keep searching.
I better get back to Enterprise.
        If everything
    you've told me is true
about the attack on your world,
                    I hope
                    you remember
        that all Xindi
    are not your enemy.
            I will.
