"Face of the Enemy" Line-by-Line

Toreth: Do you think anyone here will listen to you?

 

Troi: If any one of you defies the Tal'Shiar, you will not bear the punishment alone. Your families...all of them... will be there beside you. I am now in command of this ship, you will take orders from me and no one else. Remove Commander Toreth from her station. If she resists, shoot her.

 

N’Vek: Commander…please…step down.

 

Toreth steps away from her command Chair.

Troi: Remove her weapon.

N'Vek takes Toreths disruptor

Troi sits down in Toreths command chair

Troi: Now Commander, watch and learn. In order to defeat your enemy, you must first understand them. The Federation wishes to avoid war at all costs, so I shall offer them a diplomatic solution. Get them to lower their shields and then destroy them.

Worf: Captain, we are being hailed.

 

Picard: On screen.

 

Troi (On the view screen.):I am Major Rakal of the Tal Shiar.

 

Picard: I am Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise.

 

Troi: How can we be of help?

 

Picard: A Corvallen Freighter was destroyed not far from here. We have detected the residual effects of disruptor fire, can you shed any light on this?

 

Troi: A regrettable incident, Captain. The freighter was fired upon by the former Commander of this vessel. I have now taken control and I assure you, there will be no more attacks.

 

Picard: Still, there was a considerable loss of life.

 

Troi: Captain, we do not want to exaggerate this incident. You and I can discuss it calmly. We can defuse it before it becomes inflated.

 

Picard: I agree.

 

Troi: I will come onto your ship. Please lower your shields and prepare to beam me aboard.

 

Picard: Very well. Mister Worf, lock onto Major Rakal. Transport on my command.

 

Worf: Aye, sir.

 

Troi: Thank you.

Riker: What’s she doing on that ship?

 

Picard: I don't know Number One, but she needs our help to get back. Mister Worf, keep your lock on her no matter what happens.
