Full impulse.
- Aye, sir.
Well done, Taitt.
You're killing him.
He won't survive another session.
I did not come for him.
I came for you.
It's not too late. If you remove
the fibres, Geordi could recover.
- That would not be possible.
- Why? Because Lore tells you so?
It is for the greater good.
Good?
Data, isn't good and bad,
right and wrong,
a function of your ethical program?
That is correct.
What does that program tell you
about what you're doing to Geordi?
About what you and Lore
are doing to the Borg?
It tells you these things are wrong,
doesn't it, Data?
How can actions that are wrong
lead to a greater good?
- You are trying to confuse me.
- No, you're not confused, Data.
You're sensing the truth.
Your ethical program is fighting
the emotions Lore is sending you.
Captain!
Thank you so much for joining us.
You are going to assist me
in a most important ceremony.
We'll use the control ducts
to get into the compound.
- That'll lead to the detention area.
- We have to move fast.
If we stun a guard,
the Borg will know right away.
When they realise,
your escape may be compromised.
I guess we'll have
to take that chance.
Good luck, Commander.
It's time to put aside all doubts,
brother.
It's time to close
the door on the past
and commit yourself to
the great work that lies ahead of us.
I need to know I can count on you.
As proof, I want you to kill Picard.
No.
That would be wrong.
I didn't think you could do it.
You've spent too many years
among humans.
Hold him!
I've asked many sacrifices of you.
Sacrifices I knew were necessary
in order to build a better future.
I want you to know
that I ask no more of you
than I am prepared to give myself.
I am willing to make
the greatest sacrifice of all.
My own dear brother.
Goodbye, Data.
No!
Lore?
You should be careful with that,
brother.
Someone could get hurt!
- What are you doing?
- I've got a way out of here.
I'm willing to forget what happened
back there, and take you with me.
We don't need anyone else.
We're brothers!
I'll give you the chip
our father made.
It contains much more
than just emotions.
It has memories!
Memories our father
wanted you to have.
Lore, I must deactivate you now.
Without me,
you will never feel emotion again.
I know.
But you leave me no other choice.
I love you,
brother...
Goodbye, Lore.
What about Geordi and Troi?
The Enterprise is in orbit.
I had them beamed aboard.
Lore is no longer functioning, sir.
He must be disassembled
so he is no longer a threat.
- Welcome back, Data.
- Thank you, sir.
What made you change your mind,
Hugh?
My encounter with the Enterprise
affected me more than I realised.
What will you do now?
I don't know.
We can't go back
to the Borg collective
and we no longer have a leader here.
I'm not sure that's true.
Perhaps in time, we will learn
to function as individuals
and work together as a group.
Good luck, Hugh.
Goodbye.
Captain's log, stardate 47025.4.
We've returned to Federation space
and are en route to Starbase 295.
Mr La Forge remains
under Dr Crusher's care.
Enter.
Hi, Data.
Dr Crusher says I'll be able
to return to duty soon.
I am relieved that the injuries I
inflicted on you are not permanent.
What's that?
It is the chip my father made for me
so I could experience emotion.
I removed it from Lore
before he was dismantled.
- Does it work?
- No.
I am pleased to say
it was damaged when I fired on Lore.
Pleased? Data, you've wanted
emotions your whole life.
Yes. But emotions are responsible
for what I did to you.
I would never risk
letting that happen again.
My friendship with you
is too important to me.
Data, I wouldn't be much of a friend
if I let you give up
on a lifelong dream, would I?
Maybe someday.
When you're ready.Enter!
Worf, they're going
to be here any minute.
I'm having problems.
If I didn't know you,
I'd say you were procrastinating.
Klingons do not procrastinate.
