劇情
Teaser
While on a scouting expedition with Lieutenant Commander Chakotay and an away team, Carey discovers a type of delicious-looking apple and happily announces that there are trees filled with them over a nearby ridge. However, Neelix points out that the apples are extremely poisonous and instead suggests something called a leola root. Though the Talaxian describes it as the best source of vitamins and minerals in the Delta Quadrant, Chakotay is disgusted when he tries a bite and claims he would rather settle for the second-best source. As the away team go about their business, Tom Paris notices something that may be a cloaked ship, although he is unsure. Tuvok reveals it is a ship using some kind of masking circuitry with which they are unfamiliar but suggests using a polaron burst; when Captain Janeway gives him the go-ahead, the burst reveals the outline of a Kazon raider. Janeway immediately orders the away team back to Voyager.
On the surface, Chakotay assembles the away team, but there is no sign of Seska. He has the rest of the team beam back aboard Voyager while he looks for her in some nearby caves, which may be masking her combadge signal. He finds her picking mushrooms so she can teach Neelix how to make Chakotay's favorite soup, but when they move to leave the cave, they are surprised by a pair of Kazon soldiers. Chakotay is injured in the firefight, and Seska helps him out of the cave to the transport site.
Act One
- "Captain's log: Stardate 48658.2. We've successfully left orbit without further interference from the Kazon. Commander Chakotay is injured but is recovering from his wounds."
Seska comes to Chakotay's quarters with a welcome surprise: real mushroom soup. They savor it together as she describes how Neelix predictably wanted to stretch the mushrooms with leola root, but the taste of the soup turns bitter, so Seska describes how she and her fellow Maquis officers stole the mushrooms from the kitchen while Neelix was dealing with convenient case of homesickness that arose with several other officers. Revoking everyone's replicator rations for two days, Chakotay threatens to throw Seska and her co-conspirators in the brig next time, even if real soup was worth losing replicator rations. As Seska leaves, Janeway calls the senior staff to the bridge.
Voyager has received a distress call from a ship identical to the one seen at the previous planet, and while the call appears to be genuine based on sensor readings, Neelix advises caution; the ship hails from the Kazon-Nistrim, one of the most violent sects in the Kazon Collective. With no indications of other Kazon ships in the vicinity, Janeway plots a course to intercept the ship. After all, in addition to providing help, they may be able to make a friend.
When an away team beams aboard the Kazon ship, they find several bodies on the bridge, all dead from what appears to be a kind of subatomic manipulation that has melded them with pieces of metal. They detect nucleonic radiation emanating from an area of the bridge, contained automatically via force fields. One survivor is among the Kazon crew, so he is beamed aboard Voyager to be treated in sickbay, but the away team find something strange in the vicinity of the radiation: a composite unique to Federation technology.
The Doctor finds that the Kazon man's cells have been altered and somehow bonded with metallic substances, necessitating transplants from compatible donors on board. As Chakotay, Tuvok and Janeway discuss the situation on the Kazon ship, there seem to be three possibilities to explain the away team's findings; it is not Federation technology, another Federation ship has made it to the Delta Quadrant, or someone on Voyager has given technology to the Kazon. As the third option seems most likely, a search for the real truth now begins.
Act Two
The staff meets in engineering, where Torres brainstorms possible ways to retrieve the console. Although Seska thinks they can use force fields to "push back" the radiation, B'Elanna thinks it is too risky and instead opts for Carey's idea to manipulate it via subspace. The plan will take until the next day, so they get to work; however, when Torres assigns jobs to the engineering crew, Chakotay claims he wants Seska on the bridge.
Seska follows Chakotay out of the room to inquire what is wrong, able to see through Chakotay's act; he suspects she sold technology to the Kazon while on the surface. Although he personally does not believe it, he is trying to protect Seska; she on the other hand sees it as pointing the finger at her. Visiting sickbay, she asks The Doctor to inform her immediately if their Kazon guest wakes up, as he is the only one who can prove her innocence. While she is there, Kes notes that Seska never got around to giving a blood sample, but due to a childhood disease, her blood is not compatible with that of the Kazon.
Later, another Kazon ship approaches the damaged one, attempting to establish contact with it but taking no interest in Voyager. While Janeway and the others discuss what to do, Seska makes an unauthorized transport to the damaged Kazon vessel, where she implements her plan and tries to retrieve the console herself. An accident occurs in the process, and though she is safely beamed back to Voyager, she has suffered burns on half of her body.
Act Three
Janeway calls Carey into her ready room, where Tuvok and Chakotay are waiting. They discuss how things have gone between him and Torres since she was promoted to chief engineer in his place, casually appearing more suspicious as the conversation continues. Janeway finally asks him outright if he has had personal communications with the Kazon since Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, which he vehemently denies. Although he does mention Seska's name, he stops short of implicating her directly. Though Carey has more credibility in Janeway's opinion due to Seska's time in the Maquis, Chakotay points out that by this criterion he himself is no better than Seska.
When the Kazon ship arrives, it hails Voyager and First Maje Culluh of the Kazon-Nistrim introduces himself. Like all Kazon, he is aggressive, but he is intent on protecting Kazon property. Janeway refuses to leave the ship alone until she has the console, using her superior technology as the stick. Culluh agrees to settle for visiting the still-unconscious survivor of the accident.
Culluh and his bodyguard arrive in sickbay, where The Doctor explains about the accident and the nucleonic radiation from the console. The Kazon want to be left alone with the man, so Janeway talks to The Doctor in private,not eager to release their patient into Kazon hands. As the man's health would genuinely be endangered by moving him, Janeway prepares to inform the Kazon of her intentions when Culluh's bodyguard takes out a small needle. Tuvok attempts to intervene, but he injects a neurotoxin into the patient's blood, killing the other Kazon. Disgusted, Janeway orders Culluh and the bodyguard off her ship.
Once the Kazon are gone, Kes and The Doctor have important news for Janeway: according to Seska's blood screening, she is not Bajoran but Cardassian. Template:Pna-episode
Act Four
Act Five
经典对白
- Janeway：「I want it ready by the end of the day.」
B'Elanna：「No, Captain. When I say tomorrow, I mean tomorrow. I don't exaggerate.」
- Chakotay目视Janeway离开，转身对Tuvok说：「You were working for her; Seska was working for them. Does anyone on board THAT ship working for me?!」听这话就知道可怜的Chakotay快疯了...:
点评
舰上有个叛徒将星联科技卖给敌人。二选一，是素有叛相的Maquis成员还是心怀不满的Starfleet军官？
「这其实非常简单，Watson.」在「Ex Post Facto」里Tuvok摆出这等可笑的姿态，还忘了准备雪笳上场。幸好Chakotay没依样画葫芦，不过这也可能是我对Robert Beltran偏心。有周润发味道的帅哥耶！叫我花痴我也不管。
这个侦探故事可以更高明一点，如果编剧能找到另一个更可疑的嫌犯。说真的我很难相信Carey是叛徒，他的动机在哪里？对於B'Elanna空降部队的晋升不满可不至於让他去跟Kazon挂勾，更别提我看不出他的利益在哪里。Seska从头到尾都表现出对Starfleet的不认同，而且一直把规定当放屁，如果有机会，她是不会手软的，所以「到底是他还是她」的悬疑没对我产生作用。
但就算你跟我一样从一开始就没有被这个混淆视听的技巧迷惑，这依然是个基本上相当紧凑、摆荡、没有什麽冷场的侦探故事。光是设想他们要怎麽样揪出Seska就是相当有趣的脑部运动，而编剧始终巧妙地没有让所有的矛头都指向谁；更聪明的，编剧让证据的出现成为催化剧情高低起伏的因素----我们想听听Seska对这有何解释，我们想看看Seska会对那有什麽反应。整集的步调相当流畅，好戏一幕接著一幕上演，环环相扣直到最後。
好戏非常人可演，Robert Beltran扮演某方面来说「particularly naive」的Chakotay，愣头愣脑的模样好可爱。他在这一集里是一个被耍的角色，一直想要信任谁，最後却被迫面对寄予错误信任、识人不明的苦涩，照理说应该是一个很苦情的衰鬼，但打从一开始看著他咬了口Neelix递给他Delta Quadrant版人，立刻转头用力把它吐出来的模样（唔，真的有「那麽」难吃吗？@_@），就无法不觉得他可爱。He's cute, he's cute, he's cute...:p
但最让我佩服的是Martha Hackett，虽然她的长相跟角色都不是什麽讨人喜欢的可爱造型，在这一集展现的演技却让人感到遗憾以後不会常常见到她。她勾引Chakotay的模样非常诱人；她假装无辜的本事真是天衣无缝；她还很传神地摹拟一个身负任务做反间，却意外爱上敌人的女人所拥有的自嘲感。要不是Carey这个嫌犯选得实在有些差劲，有几次我真的会怀疑是不是错怪了Seska。最後被拆穿时，头发放下来披在肩上而显得更有女人味的Seska，竟当著Janeway的面直斥她是个笨蛋，而Chakotay笨到去跟随她的时候，脸上凶恶霸道的神情真的是像极了Cardassian，让你对於她的血统再无任何怀疑。入戏到这种程度，了不起，Hackett小姐。
其他种类繁杂的点点：
*.现在我们知道Voyager单挑不会打输任何的Kazon ship，但还是要避免围殴。当Kazon摆出要干涉Voyager调查的姿态时，Janeway只能催B'Elanna手脚快一点，在Kazon的援军抵达之前赶快完成调查工作然後跑路。Seska一定会觉得联邦真是莫名其妙，臭规矩一大堆，要是Voyager是艘Cardassian战舰，肯定会秉持各个击破的战术原则，先下手为强干掉那两艘Kazon ships。真可惜Janeway不 能这麽做。还好Janeway不能这麽做。
