	FADE IN:

1    EXT. ANGOSIAN CAPITOL - ESTABLISHING (MATTE)

	A cluster of low buildings, a bud of civilization whose
	outlying roadways vein a vast plain.

					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's log, Stardate 43489.2.
			We have arrived at Angosia, a
			planet that is eager for
			membership in the Federation.

2    EXT. ANGOSIAN SENATE

	PICARD and RIKER are with NAYROK, the Angosian leader,
	in the rotunda of the senate building. The Angosians
	take their civic duty very seriously and the senate is
	considered a repository of wisdom and law. Various
	government officials and petitioners pass by, either
	in deep discussion or thoughtful meditation.

					PICARD
			I'm greatly impressed with what
			I've seen so far, Prime Minister.

					NAYROK
			Then I hope it will reflect
			favorably in your report, Captain.

					RIKER
			It's a tribute to your people to
			have recovered so rapidly from
			the Tarsian War.

					NAYROK
			It is indeed.
				(sadly)
			We are not warriors. We believe
			reason can settle disputes. But
			not every culture agrees with our
			position.

					PICARD
			An unfortunate reality.

      STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - REV. 10/27/89 - TEASER      2.

2    CONTINUED:

					NAYROK
			The development of the mind, the
			cultivation of the intellect --
			these are the pursuits to which
			the Angosians have dedicated
			themselves for centuries.

	Nayrok nods and is about to respond... but is
	interrupted by ZAYNAR, an aide who casually interrupts.

					ZAYNAR
			I'm sorry to interrupt, Prime
			Minister. There's a problem.
			May I see you a moment?

					NAYROK
			Excuse me, gentlemen.

3    ANGLE --

	on Picard and Riker.

					PICARD
			I think they'll make a fine
			addition to the Federation, Number
			One...

	Riker acknowledges, but without enthusiasm. Off
	Picard's look...

					RIKER
			I'm not sure I'd want to live
			here. A little stuffy for my
			taste.

	Picard thinks it over, nods slightly. It's a little
	dry for his taste, too.

4    ANOTHER ANGLE --

	Nayrok returns, his face has a look of concern...

					NAYROK
			A prisoner has escaped from the
			penal colony on Lunar Five.
				(shaking his head)
			Two guards are dead. The prisoner
			has taken a transport vessel.

      STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - REV. 10/27/89 - TEASER      2A.

4    CONTINUED:

					RIKER
			Do you have means of pursuit?

         STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - TEASER         3.

4    CONTINUED:

					NAYROK
			The tracking station was
			sabotaged. The entire base is
			in chaos. We have ordered ships
			from the surface to follow him,
			but to be honest, our civilian
			pilots are not trained to handle
			this...

					RIKER
			With your permission, sir... ?

	Picard acknowledges.

					RIKER
				(keying his insignia)
			Mister Data, a stolen transport
			vessel has departed from Lunar
			Five. Have you picked it up on
			sensors?

									INTERCUT:

5    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	DATA is in command. GEORDI, WORF, and WESLEY are on
	the bridge. Supernumeraries.

					DATA
				(checking sensors)
			Yes, Commander.

					RIKER
			Good. Detain the vessel and
			quarantine the pilot.
				(to Nayrok)
			Is he armed?

					NAYROK
			Yes. And he's very dangerous,
			Captain. Lunar Five is our
			maximum security facility.

					RIKER
			Did you hear that, Data?

					DATA
			Yes, Commander, we will use
			extreme caution.

         STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - TEASER         4.

5    CONTINUED:

					RIKER
			Keep us informed. Riker out.

					WORF
			On screen, sir...

									END INTERCUT:

6    ANGLE ON THE MAIN VIEWER (OPTICAL)

	A small ship, as well as an asteroid, are visible in
	front of the planet.

					DATA
			Specifications on the vessel,
			Mister Worf.

					WORF
			No warp drive. Minimal weaponry.

					DATA
			Heading, Ensign Crusher.

					WESLEY
			Three-one-nine mark
			two-five-zero.

					GEORDI
			Vessel's speed increasing to
			point-two impulse. He's seen us,
			Data.

7    EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	Moving toward the transport vessel... which disappears
	behind the asteroid.

8    INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	On the main viewscreen, we see that only a small piece
	of the ship appears on the other side of the asteroid.

					GEORDI
				(reacts)
			The ship's drive section...

					WESLEY
			What happened to the rest of his
			ship?

         STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - TEASER         5.

8    CONTINUED:

					DATA
			Scan the drive section for life
			form readings.

					WORF
			None.

					DATA
			Mister Crusher, bring us around
			to the back side of the asteroid.

	A beat.

					GEORDI
			Sensors indicate wreckage on the
			asteroid's surface.

					WORF
			No life signs.

					DATA
			Apparently, he did not survive.

	Wesley, puzzled, is checking his console... and he
	looks surprised.

					WESLEY
			Data, the drive section...
			where'd it go?

8A   ANGLE - MAIN VIEW SCREEN (OPTICAL)

	Only the asteroid remains on screen. The ship is
	gone. Data reacts... looks at his sensors... looks at
	the screen.

					WESLEY
			There's no sign of it on its
			previous heading. Someone must
			be at the helm.

					RIKER'S COM VOICE
			Status report, Mister Data?

	There's no beating around this bush.

         STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - TEASER         6.

8A   CONTINUED:

					DATA
				(simply)
			I am afraid the prisoner has eluded
			us, sir.

									FADE OUT.

                         END OF TEASER                          

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT ONE        7.

                            ACT ONE                             

	FADE IN:

9    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Picard and Riker have returned, are listening to Data's
	explanation. Other personnel are there as before.

					DATA
			We followed procedures precisely.
			Scanners indicated no life forms
			present in the drive section.
			I cannot explain how he escaped.

					WORF
			Incoming message from the Angosian
			prime minister.

					PICARD
				(settling into the
				 Command Chair)
			On screen.

10   ANGLE ON THE MAIN VIEWER (OPTICAL)

	The planet's surface is replaced by an image of
	Nayrok, seated in his office.

					NAYROK
			We've identified the prisoner,
			Captain. His name is Roga Danar.
			His criminal record is too long
			to go into. But you must be aware
			that he is given to bouts of
			uncontrollable violence.

					PICARD
			We appreciate the warning, Prime
			Minister. We will keep you posted
			on our progress.

	The image on the viewscreen returns to planet.

					RIKER
			Mister La Forge, how far and how
			fast can that transport ship
			travel?

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT ONE        8.

10   CONTINUED:

					GEORDI
			Without warp drive, there's no
			way it could be outside our range
			by now.

					WESLEY
			We've been sweeping the area
			constantly, Commander. There's
			nothing within sensor range.

	Picard frowns, frustrated. This annoying little space
	gnat is turning out to be more than they bargained for.

					PICARD
			A cloaking device?

					WORF
			The Angosians have no cloaking
			technology...

					RIKER
				(it dawns on him)
			Unless he's borrowing one...
				(off Picard's look)
			If he's hanging over the planet's
			pole, its magnetic field could
			confuse the sensors.

					DATA
			I believe I can recalibrate our
			sensors to read through the
			electromagnetic interference over
			the poles, Commander.

					RIKER
				(to Wesley)
			Realign for polar orbit.

					WESLEY
			Aye, sir.

	Data sits, his fingers dance over the keys on the
	console. He looks at

11   HIS MONITOR - COMPUTER GRAPHIC

	of the planet, over the north pole, we can see magnetic
	interference which Data tunes out, revealing an image
	of a craft hovering there, hiding...

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT ONE        9.

12   ANGLE

					DATA
			There he is, Commander. You were
			correct.

					RIKER
			The fellow knows all the tricks,
			doesn't he...

	Data studies his console, confused.

					DATA
			There are still no life form
			readings coming from the vessel.

					GEORDI
			It could be the magnetic
			interference, Data.

					DATA
			I have compensated. There are no
			readings.

					PICARD
			We'll have our answer shortly.
			Lock on tractor beam, Mister La
			Forge.

					GEORDI
			Tractor beam locking on.

13   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	The tractor beam shoots out from the Enterprise towards
	the tiny half-ship, which begins to turn to face the
	Enterprise.

14   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Data checks his instruments.

					DATA
			Sir, the vessel is coming about.

					RIKER
				(looking over his
				 shoulder)
			Is he out of his mind?

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT ONE        10.

14   CONTINUED:

					WORF
			Sensors detect a massive power
			build up in his aft thrusters.

					PICARD
			On Main Viewer, Mister Worf.

15   ANGLE - VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	The tiny ship is now facing the Enteprise. It is
	slowly approaching within the tractor beam.

					GEORDI
			He's making a suicide run.

					DATA
			Shields have been automatically
			activated. Tractor beam
			disengaged.

16   EXT. SPACE - THE TRANSPORT VESSEL (OPTICAL)

	No longer enveloped in the tractor beam, the transport
	vessel hurtles head on towards the Enterprise, then
	skids off the invisible shield, away from the ship.

17   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

					WESLEY
				(reacts)
			He's bounced off our shields.

					RIKER
			That's one trick I didn't even
			know about...

					PICARD
			Ensign Crusher, fix coordinates
			of that vessel. We'll transport
			the whole thing to a shuttlebay
			if we have to.

	Data has been working hard the whole time.

					DATA
			I do not think that will be
			necessary, Captain. He is no
			longer in the drive section.
					(MORE)

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT ONE        11.

17   CONTINUED:

					DATA (Cont'd)
				(reactions)
			I anticipated this diversionary
			tactic based on his pattern to
			date. We are picking up a
			cylindrical object approximately
			seven meters in length and three
			meters in diameter.

					WORF
			On screen, Captain.

18   ANGLE ON THE MAIN VIEWER (OPTICAL)

	A tiny, cylindrical object is just visible.

					WESLEY
			An escape pod.

					GEORDI
			This guy is incredible.

19   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

					DATA
				(puzzled)
			Yet there are still no life form
			readings.

					PICARD
			Transporter Room Four, prepare
			to beam aboard anything that's
			large enough to be a humanoid
			adult from inside that pod.

					WORF
			Security to Transporter Room Four.

					O'BRIEN'S VOICE
			We are holding the contents in
			stasis pending arrival of
			security. An illicit weapon has
			been detected in the transport
			beam, sir. It's been rendered
			inoperable.

					RIKER
				(to Worf)
			Let's greet our guest.

     STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - REV. 10/27/89 - ACT ONE     12.

19   CONTINUED:

	Riker and Worf disappear into the turbolift.

20   INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM

	TWO ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS wait with the transporter
	engineer. All eyes and weapons are trained on

21   THE TRANSPORTER PAD (OPTICAL)

	It glitters to life. An image begins to materialize.
	ROGA DANAR stands before them. Haggard. On the edge.
	A dangerous gleam to his eye, like a frightened,
	trapped animal. Without wasting a second, Roga aims
	his rifle and pulls the trigger. Nothing happens.

					SECURITY MAN
			Just stay where you are.

	Roga barely reacts... with the quickness of a snake
	striking, he lunges off the transporter pad...

22   WIDE - THE SECURITY MEN (OPTICAL)

	fire their phasers... he's so quick, one shot misses
	him... the other connects with him in mid-air but he
	still lands on the security guard, takes him out,
	rolling off him, hit by another phaser shot, growls
	with pain, sags, then pulls himself back up and leaps
	at the second guard...

23   INT. TRANSPORTER CORRIDOR

	They come crashing through from the Transporter Room...
	Roga and the guard wrapped up together, fighting for
	control of the guard's phaser... the transporter
	engineer comes from behind, grabs Roga... who throws
	him backwards hard against the wall...

24   WORF AND RIKER

	arrive...

					RIKER
			What the hell...

     STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - REV. 10/27/89 - ACT ONE     13.

24   CONTINUED:

	Riker and Worf charge Roga... it's like two
	linebackers trying to bring down a powerful running
	back... and then the other two guards are on him too
	and O'Brien... and it's a gang tackle... and finally
	with all of their force, Roga goes down... pinned to
	the floor.

25   ANGLE - RIKER

	He looks down at the enraged face of Roga still
	struggling, helpless now.

					RIKER
			Take him to the detention cell.
			Set phasers on kill.

									FADE OUT.

                        END OF ACT ONE

	FADE IN:

26   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	continuing to orbit the planet.

26A  INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Picard at command, Worf at Tactical, Data at Ops,
	Supernumerary at Conn. The prime minister on the main
	viewscreen... Riker ENTERS during the conversation...
	his arm repaired.

					NAYROK
			We need a few hours to get the
			containment field on Lunar Five
			operational before we pick him
			up. The damage he caused during
			his escape was considerable.

					PICARD
			We will await your signal.

					NAYROK
			I appreciate your patience. Our
			prison psychologist has
			recommended you keep Danar fully
			sedated until he's ready for
			transport.

					PICARD
			He's in our highest security
			detention area... there shouldn't
			be any more problems...

					NAYROK
			Do not relax your security for
			one moment, Captain. He is
			extremely violent and cunning,
			as you already know, Commander
			Riker. I'm so pleased to learn
			your injuries are not serious.
			My most sincere apologies...

					RIKER
			None required, Prime Minister.

	Nayrok acknowledges.

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT TWO        15.

26A  CONTINUED:

					NAYROK
			I will send a transport vessel
			to retrieve him as soon as
			possible. Nayrok out.

	The screen returns to a view of the planet.

26B  ANGLE

	Riker moves to Data...

					RIKER
			Have you run a diagnostic on the
			sensors, Data?

					DATA
			Yes, Commander. There is nothing
			wrong with the ship's sensors.
			The reason that we did not sense
			any life signs aboard the escape
			vessel is because the prisoner
			has no life signs.

	Picard and Riker exchange a glance.

					RIKER
			Computer, identify the occupant
			in the detention cell.

					COMPUTER
			The detention cell is vacant at
			this time.

					PICARD
			Can he be some sort of android?

					DATA
			Our sensors can identify
			artificial lifeforms, Captain.
			Apparently, he is capable of
			deceiving the sensors.

27   OMITTED

28   INT. DETENTION CELL

	High security is evident. A guard is stationed outside
	the cell. The room is divided by a glowing rim,
	indicating an activated invisible forcefield.

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT TWO        16.

28A  CLOSE ON ROGA

	Lying on a bed, Roga borders between consciousness and
	unconsciousness. He tosses from side to side, tortured
	by a nightmare.

28B  INT. CORRIDOR (FORMERLY SCENE 27)

	Troi walks down the corridor towards her quarters,
	slows as she senses something.

29   INT. DETENTION CELL

	Roga's mental pain has intensified. His face is beaded
	with sweat. He moans in anguish.

30   INT. CORRIDOR - TROI

	reacts, turns around and heads back in the direction
	from which she came.

31   INT. DETENTION CELL

	Roga's eyes open, he sits up abruptly on the edge of
	his bed, recuperating from the demons of his
	subconscious, turns to see Troi standing there outside
	the divider. For a beat, he has to shake himself back
	to reality... their eyes meet.

					TROI
			Are you all right?

	He stares at her, considers the question... and may
	not be entirely sure of the answer. Surprisingly,
	Roga's manner is calm and circumspect, the antithesis
	of the labels he has been given. There is no sign of
	the violent nature he displayed in the Transporter
	Room. If anything, he is detatched and cerebral.

	He stands, looks around, disoriented.

					ROGA
			What is this ship?

					TROI
			You are on board the USS
			Enterprise.

					ROGA
			A war vessel?

        STAR TREK: "The Hunted" - 10/25/89 - ACT TWO        17.

	Geordi looks up the reactor core shaft. Having seen
	Roga in action, he's not about to underestimate him:
