Stop there. Unless I'm mistaken, I thought you had no idea where the amethyst was.
Where's my daughter? Funny how a missing child has a way to jog
the memory, eh, Shran? Where is she?
I thought you were happily married. Who's the Vulcan?
I'm not interested in your associates, so don't question mine.
Put the case down and open it. We want the child first.
I could shoot you both. You'll never get this case open, I promise
you. You let a female negotiate for you, eh, Shran?
You heard her. (A woman brings a little blue girl out, holding
her wrist firmly.) Are you all right?
I'm hungry. Now open the case.
(Shran holds the case but looks at his daughter the whole time T'Pol is unlocking it. The
cut sapphire is enormous.) Set it down. Now, back up.
Let her take the girl. : Fine, but you stay. One step, and this little
blue beauty won't have a father to come home to.
(Talla is freed to run to Shran's arms.) I want you to go with T'Pol. You'll be safe
with her. She'll find you something to eat. Obey your father.
(Talla and T'Pol leave.) Now step back.
(He picks up the gem and scans it as the Enterprise team watch from above. Shran raises his arm
to shield his eyes.) What are you doing?
(Tucker fires a laser at the sapphire, and the refractions blind the alien and his associates.
Shran escapes and the phaser fire starts.) Stand still and you won't be harmed.
(The aliens return fire, of course. One shot breaks the plank Tucker is standing on, and
he's dangling in midair as Archer tries to pull him to safety)
Hold on! (Reed takes out the last alien as Tucker is
okay.) : Thanks, boss.
Any time.
