"Wolf in the Fold" Line-By-Line

Kirk: Bones, I have a diplomatic responsibility. This happened under Argelian jurisdiction. If they want to arrest him, try him, even convict him.... I have to go along with it.

 

Bones: But he's suffering from a severe concussion.

 

Kirk: We'll do what we can.

 

Piglet: It's not promising, Captain. Mister Scott insists he remembers nothing, but my detector readings indicates that only his fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

 

KIRK: Yes. Mister Hengist, there were other people in the cafe about the time of the murder. Several of them left just before Mister Scott and the girl did.

 

HENGIST: So I've been informed by the staff. They're being located and we will question them. But the outlook for your friend is quite grim.

 

Kirk: What's the law in these cases?

 

PREFECT JARIS: The law of Argelius is love.

 

(An elegant grey-haired man enters, with a woman.)

Piglet: Gentlemen, our prefect, Jaris. Sir, Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy.

 

JARIS: And this is my wife, Sybo.

 

HENGIST: And this man is Scott, the one I sent you the message about.

 

JARIS: He does not look like a man capable of such an act. Still, it's been so long. Gentlemen, before our great awakening two hundred years ago, we had ways of learning the truth in such matters. We shall return to them.

 

Bones: The Argelian empathic contact?

 

JARIS: You know of this?

 

KIRK: Yes, we've heard of it. I assumed it was a lost art.

 

JARIS: My wife is a descendent of the ancient priestesses of our land. She has the ancestral gift. Gentlemen, I have come to invite you to my home.

 

HENGIST: Prefect, don't you think this should be handled in an official manner through my office?

 

JARIS: It shall be handled in an official manner, Mister Hengist, since I am the highest official. Gentlemen, let us proceed to my home where, with the aid of my wife, we shall learn the truth. Please.

 

[Jaris' home]

KIRK: Depending on your wife's empathic abilities is all very well, Prefect; but there's only one way we can find out what it is Mr. Scott cannot remember. Since you find it impossible to let us go back up to our ship, I can beam down a technician with a psychotricorder.

 

MCCOY: Prefect, it will give us a detailed account of everything that's happened to Mister Scott in the last twenty four hours.
