unusual for her to become lost in her work.
As for my... husband,
our arrangement remains unchanged.
Captain Jonathan Archer,
I regret we meet
under such tragic circumstances.
I'd like to introduce Administrator V'Las.
Administrator...
I wasn't told to expect the head of the High Command.
Captain Archer, all of Vulcan grieves with you today.
12 Vulcans died in the blast, Ambassador.
To that end, this is Stel, Chief Investigator
of our Security Directorate.
Captain, we now have suspects.
Andorians?
Why would they attack our embassy?
To create conflict between Earth and Vulcan.
They do consider us allies
who stand against them.
So far, we've done our best
to remain neutral,
and the Andorians know that.
They have nothing to gain
by attacking us.
You have other suspects?
Syrrannites.
I've never heard of that species.
Actually, they're a small group of Vulcans.
They follow a corrupted form of Surak's teachings.
Surak I've heard of.
He's the father of Vulcan logic.
Even after 1,800 years, we consider him the most
important Vulcan who ever lived.
So why would these Syrrannites want to attack our embassy?
It's hardly an act of logic. They've been vocal
about their opposition to government, but always peaceful.
Over the past year, their leader--
a dissident named Syrran-- has become a dangerous zealot.
Captain, I trust you to keep this matter confidential.
We don't share it lightly.
But recently, on our world,
there have been instances
of violence against non-Vulcans.
Though we have no conclusive proof,
there are signs
that Syrrannites might be responsible.
Is there any evidence connecting
Syrrannites to the bombing?
Your embassy is officially considered
to be on Earth soil.
We've preserved the site for you to investigate.
If evidence is there, the Chief Investigator
and I feel confident you'll find it.
I intend to.
Lieutenant, here's the junction room.
Schematics say the secondary
security bank's right in there.
Ah! Still in one piece.
There's a weak power signature under this mess.
It's probably an emergency light
running on batteries.
There's something here.
Some kind of surveillance recorder.
Lieutenant...
The timer might be broken,
but that bomb's armed.
Don't move.
The slightest vibration
might set it off.
Reed to Enterprise.
I need an emergency transporter lock.
Two to beam up on my mark.
Acknowledged.
Why not beam the bomb out of here? If there's a gravity switch,
it'll detonate in the matter stream.
Enterprise to Reed. The transporter's locked.
Do you need assistance?
Negative, Enterprise.
Stand by.
I'm going to attempt
to scan it. Attempt?
Yeah. If I had
designed that bomb,
I'd rig it to go off
the instant
a sensor beam made contact.
Look on the bright side.
If it detonates,
we'll never know.
Steady.
There's Vulcan DNA
on these controls.
So much for
blaming Andorians.
Boosting scan resolution.
That can't be good.
Oh, damn.
Enterprise, mark.
Enterprise!
According to the Vulcan Genome Registry,
the DNA on the bomb's controls was left by this woman--
T'Pau.
Since you had her DNA on record,
does that mean she's been arrested before?
The Registry records DNA
from all Vulcans at birth.
Do you know anything about her?
T'Pau is a well-known Syrrannite.
All right.
We've got a solid start.
Now we need to find her.
Captain, T'Pau
is Vulcan.
The Security Directorate will take charge
of the investigation. Of course.
Vulcan sovereignty.
Lieutenant Reed and Commander T'Pol
will work with you. Their assistance isn't required.
Chief Investigator,
43 people died in the bombing--
12 Vulcans and 31 humans.
We want her as much as you do.
This is now a Vulcan security operation.
We'll inform Ambassador Soval
of any developments that concern you.
[ door slides open, then closes ]
His death is a loss to both our worlds.
If you're lost, Ambassador,
I can direct you to your shuttle.
He saved my life...
in the explosion.
He
