Bennings: And who was he talking to on that little box he had? It was the Skags. They helped him escape. This is what we were afraid of, Mac. They'd try to take over again. It's time to put an end to this.

MACCREADY: You have something in mind?

 

[Orac]

Bennings: I say we ride out there tonight and burn 'em out. I guarantee there'll be plenty of volunteers.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

MacReady: Now you listen to me. I'm not going to murder those people just because some stranger spooked you with a parlor trick. Now if I get some proof that the Skagarans are up to something, I'll take care of it.

 

[Orac]

Bennings: You've always been too soft on them, Mac.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

MacReady: And you've always harassed them while I've looked the other way, and that's going to change right now. As long as you work for me, our job is to enforce the law. Understood?

 

[May 20]

BENNINGS: Understood.
(Bennings takes off his badge and drops it on the floor.)

[Control centre]

Hoshi: The story she told you was basically true, Captain. The Skagaran ship brought them here to provide labour for a colony they were trying to establish.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

T'Pol: They apparently found the humans suited to survive in this environment.

 

[Orac]

Hoshi: There are a lot of reports of disciplinary problems, and then 6 months after they arrived, the logs end.

ARCHER: (back in uniform) They kidnapped the wrong people.

 

[Orac]

Trip: So what do we do? They're humans. We can't just leave them here.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Travis: We can't transport six thousand people back to Earth.

 

[Athena28]

ARCHER: Once we've dealt with the Xindi we'll come back here. Do what we can to help them. For now, they deserve to know that Earth hasn't abandoned them.

[Main Street]

ARCHER: We need to talk.

 

[Orac]

[Sheriff's Office]

MacCready: And you were born there?

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: I was born in up-state New York. Spent most of my adult life in San Francisco, though. You've heard of San Francisco?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

MacReady: Pacific coast. Why didn't you tell us who you were?

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: I wasn't sure how you'd react. We thought we'd better get the lay of the land first.

 

[Orac]

MacCready: Well, I can't say I blame you. A part of me never believed Earth even existed. I thought it was something people made up because they couldn't stand living here. You taking us back?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Archer: We can't, not right now. Anyway, our ship isn't big enough. Someday we'll come back for you. You realize it's not the same world your ancestors left. A lot's changed in three hundred years.
