	FADE IN:

A1	EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	moving at sub-warp.

1    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Minimum BRIDGE CREW -- TASHA; GEORDI is at Conn; DATA at
	Ops; RIKER and PICARD in the Command Position. WORF
	turns from his Aft Station.

					WORF
			Captain! Communication from
			Starfleet. They have recorded
			a disturbance in the Neutral Zone.

2    REACTIONS

					PICARD
			What is the nature of the
			disturbance?

					WORF
			A battle. Quadrant nine --
			coordinates zero-seven-zero, mark
			three. No information who is
			involved. They are asking if we
			can investigate.

					PICARD
			Answer "affirmative."
				(to Geordi)
			Lieutenant La Forge, lay in the
			course.

					DATA
			Captain, I have no reports of any
			Federation ships in that area.

					RIKER
			Ferengi?

					PICARD
			It's a little out of their area.

     STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/14/88 - TEASER     2.

2    CONTINUED:

					RIKER
			Should we separate the saucer?

					PICARD
			Let's get some more information
			first.

					GEORDI
			Course set.

					PICARD
			Speed -- warp seven.

					GEORDI
			Warp seven. Aye.

					PICARD
			Engage.

3    EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	as it warps towards us.

4    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

It's very tense. Worf at Science; Data at Ops; Picard --
alert, watching.

					GEORDI
			We are approaching the Neutral
			Zone.

					TASHA
			Sir... Sensors indicate several
			recent photon explosions and heavy
			phaser activity.

					DATA
			I have analyzed the residue of
			the explosives. They are not of
			any known Ferengi design. It is
			possibly Romulan.

	Picard REACTS.

       STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - TEASER       3.

4    CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			That's a name we haven't heard
			for a while.

					RIKER
			And I could have gone a lot longer
			without hearing it.

					PICARD
			If the Romulans have returned to
			this sector we should know about
			it.

					RIKER
			Shall we move to the Battle
			bridge?

					PICARD
			Not yet. Worf, any further
			activity?

					WORF
			Negative, sir.

					PICARD
			Slow to half impulse.

					GEORDI
			Slowing to one-half impulse.

5    EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	The ship comes out of warp speed.

6    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Everyone is tense and expectant.

					GEORDI
			Entering quadrant nine-zero-seven,
			mark three.

					PICARD
			Shields and deflectors up.

					DATA
			I have located a ship. It is
			drifting.

     STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/15/88 - TEASER     4.

6    CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			On the Main Viewer.

					DATA
			Aye, sir.

7    ANGLE TO INCLUDE MAIN VIEWER (OPTICAL)

	There is a distant ship.

					PICARD
			Magnify!

	The IMAGE on the Screen INCREASES in size. It is now
	possible to see extensive battle damage.

					DATA
			The life-support systems on the
			ship are failing, propulsion,
			navigation, and all
			communication, inoperative.

					PICARD
			Any trace of the other ship?

					DATA
			None, sir.

					RIKER
			If it is a Romulan vessel, it
			could be cloaked.

					PICARD
				(to Worf)
			Send this to Starfleet. We are
			entering the Neutral Zone.
				(to Geordi)
			Get us in a little closer, Mister
			La Forge. Stay sharp everyone.

9    INT. MAIN BRIDGE - TO INCLUDE MAIN VIEWER (OPTICAL)

	which displays THE BATRIS. Everyone studies the damaged
	vessel as the Enterprise moves around it.

       STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - TEASER       5.

9    CONTINUED:

					RIKER
			It's Talarian.

					PICARD
			Any life signs?

					WORF
			Nothing yet.

	There is a lot of tension.

					DATA
			I have identified the vessel.
			It is the Batris. A general
			cargo vessel.

					RIKER
			Long way from home.

					PICARD
			Stay sharp. If this is a result
			of a Romulan attack, they could
			still be in the area.

					WORF
			Captain. Possible life signs.

					PICARD
			What do you mean "possible?"

					WORF
			I cannot be positive. The
			readings emanate from a location
			near what is left of Main
			Engineering. There is a great
			deal of magnetic and radioactive
			clutter making a positive
			determination difficult.

					RIKER
			I'll prepare an away team.

					PICARD
			Lieutenant Yar, remain at your
			post. Whoever attacked the
			freighter may still be in the
			area.

					TASHA
				(reluctantly)
			Aye, sir.

       STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - TEASER       6.

9    CONTINUED: (2)

					RIKER
			Data, Geordi. Let's go.

					PICARD
			Lieutenant La Forge, are we close
			enough to use the Visual Acuity
			transmitter?

					GEORDI
			We can try it, sir.

					PICARD
			Then please do. And Number One -
			everything about this seems wrong.

					RIKER
			Agreed. It smells like a trap.

	And they DEPART.

									FADE OUT.

	FADE IN:

10   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	as it slowly APPROACHES the other ship.

					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's log, stardate 41503.7.
			We have entered the Neutral Zone.
			A Talarian freighter has been
			severely damaged in a battle.
			Why, and with whom is unknown.
			Personal note: I hope this event
			is not a precursor of things to
			come, and that the peace which
			has endured for the last several
			decades will continue.

11   INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM

	Riker, Data and Geordi have gathered and are preparing
	to beam over. A check of equipment. Geordi clips on
	the transmitter for his VISOR.

					RIKER
			What exactly does that device do?

					GEORDI
			Data and I have been working on
			a way to transmit what my VISOR
			sees. If it works, the bridge
			will be able to monitor us.

					DATA
			It is very restricted. The signal
			from Geordi's VISOR is so complex
			that it is difficult to encode
			and breaks down easily.

					RIKER
			That means it doesn't have much
			range.

					GEORDI
			Correct. The effective range is
			a few kilometers, but we're
			working on that.
				(touches communicator)
			Bridge, this is Lieutenant La
			Forge.

       STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE       8.

11   CONTINUED:

					WORF'S COM VOICE
			This is the bridge.

					GEORDI
			I have attached the Visual Acuity
			Transmitter.

					WORF'S COM VOICE
			We are receiving.

					GEORDI
			I am switching off.

12   ANOTHER ANGLE

	as they gather on the Transporter Pad.

					RIKER
			Set phasers on stun.

	They all check their weapons.

					RIKER
				(continuing)
			Let's be ready for anything.

	He takes a quick, final look at his team.

					RIKER
				(continuing; to the
				 TRANSPORTER CHIEF)
			Energize.

13   INT. BATRIS - CORRIDOR (OPTICAL)

	The corridor is very DIMLY LIGHTED. There is evidence
	of the recent battle everywhere. Charred walls -
	damaged bulkheads. The transporter effect brings the
	away team INTO THE SCENE. They are very tense. Data
	scans with his tricorder as the others look around.

14   GEORDI

	steps slightly to the side.

					GEORDI
			La Forge to Enterprise.

       STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE       9.

15   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Picard on the bridge.

					PICARD
			This is the Enterprise.

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			Captain, I am switching on the
			transmitter.

					PICARD
			Ready to receive.
				(to the bridge crew)
			Put this on the Main Viewer.

	He leans forward as the IMAGE COMES ON the Screen.
	For the first time, Picard sees as Geordi sees.
	(Pattern and image to be determined.)

					PICARD
			Extraordinary.

16   INTERCUT

	The other members of the bridge crew as they, too,
	REACT with astonishment.

					PICARD
			I understand him better than I
			ever have.

17   MAIN VIEWER (OPTICAL)

	Geordi's VISIONS. (TBD)

18   ANGLE ON PICARD (OPTICAL)

	For a moment all else is forgotten as he is consumed
	by the image on the Main Viewer.

					PICARD
			Geordi. What was that? Over to
			the left.

	Geordi looks to the left.

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			What?

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE      10.

18   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			That -- right there? No -- back.
			Yes. That -- right there. What
			is it?

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			It's Commander Riker.

					PICARD
			To me it's just an undefined
			upright form, standing in a wild
			visual frenzy. Can you filter out
			the extraneous information?

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			No, I get it all simultaneously.

					PICARD
			It's a jumble. How can you make
			heads or tails of it?

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			I select what I want to see and
			disregard the rest.

					PICARD
			How is that possible?

19   INT. BATRIS - CORRIDOR

	Geordi chuckles.

					GEORDI
			How, in a noisy room, can you pick
			out one specific voice or sound?

					PICARD'S COM VOICE
			It's something you learn.

					GEORDI
			Exactly. It's something I have
			learned. Does that make it
			clearer?

20   INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Picard stares at the viewscreen, trying to accomplish
	in minutes what took Geordi a lifetime to learn.

    STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/14/88 - ACT ONE    11.

20   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			Yes. Look over at Data.

	Geordi complies and WE SEE the difference between them
	from Geordi's point of view.

					PICARD
				(continuing)
			There's an aura around Data.

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			Yes, of course. He's an android.

21   INT. BATRIS - CORRIDOR

	Data and Riker are getting impatient with this
	conversation.

					PICARD'S COM VOICE
			From the way you say that, you
			must think we all see it.

					GEORDI
			Don't you?

					RIKER
			Captain - I don't mean to break
			this up, but...

					PICARD'S COM VOICE
			Yes, of course, Number One.
			Proceed.

	Riker leads the away team down the corridor.

					DATA
			I am detecting high levels of
			Deuterium gas. Probably coming
			from the leakage in the drive
			system.

					RIKER
			Toxic?

					DATA
			Not as yet.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE      12.

22   OMITTED

23   INT. BATRIS - ANOTHER ANGLE - CORRIDOR

	As the members of the Enterprise move forward, the
	damage becomes move extensive. They pause at an
	intersection.

					DATA
			The life signs are emanating from
			the far side of Engineering.

					RIKER
			What's the safest way around?

					DATA
			All routes are equally dangerous.

					GEORDI
			Which one is the least dangerous?

					DATA
			There is no significant
			difference.

					RIKER
			Then steady on.

	Geordi notices something.

					GEORDI
			Commander, a fissure is developing
			in the bulkhead. The skin of the
			ship is losing its integrity.

					RIKER
			Where? I don't see it.

					GEORDI
			There.

	Riker looks, but still cannot see anything except the
	charred bulkhead.

24   INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Picard is standing in front of the Main Viewer.

					PICARD
			Step closer.

	Geordi complies.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE      13.

24   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
				(continuing)
			It looks to me like a spectrograph
			indicating metal fatigue. Is that
			how you interpret it?

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			Correct, Captain.

25   INT. BATRIS - CORRIDOR

	Riker steps up beside Geordi.

					RIKER
			How long before the hull ruptures?

					GEORDI
			Impossible to be exact. Five
			minutes -- probably less.

					RIKER
			Come on.

25A  ANOTHER ANGLE

	They move forward into the DARKENED corridor toward
	the WHITE GLOW coming from what was the Engineering
	Section of the Batris.

25B  INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL) (FORMERLY SCENE 35)

	as Picard watches Geordi's POV, his IMAGE BREAKS UP,
	then GOES OUT.

					PICARD
			I've lost the transmission.

					GEORDI'S COM VOICE
			Signal overload. I'm surprised
			it lasted this long.

26   INT. BATRIS - MAIN ENGINEERING

	As the away team COMES to the entrance. All except
	Data cover up against the heat and INTENSE LIGHT.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE      14.

27   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	as Picard and the others on the bridge listen to what
	is happening on the Batris.

28   INT. BATRIS - MAIN ENGINEERING

	Data makes a sweep with his tricorder.

					DATA
			The life signs are very strong
			now. They are coming from over
			there.

					RIKER
			Is there any other way around?

					DATA
			Negative. This is the only way.
			I think the safest way to proceed
			is for me to cross alone. The
			heat and toxic gases have less
			effect on me.

					RIKER
			Agreed.

29   ANOTHER ANGLE

	as Data walks through the maelstrom.

30   ANGLE ON RIKER AND GEORDI

	They watch Data DISAPPEAR through the wall of heated
	gases.

31   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Picard listens.

32   INT. BATRIS - MAIN ENGINEERING

	Riker and Geordi wait impatiently.

33   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	As Picard listens.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT ONE      15.

34   INT. BATRIS - MAIN ENGINEERING

	What Picard saw was Data RETURNING. He pauses halfway
	across the Engineering compartment.

					DATA
			I found them. The door to their
			compartment is jammed.

	One by one they cover up from the intense heat and
	SPRINT ACROSS the Engineering section.

35   OMITTED

36   INT. BATRIS - CORRIDOR

	They arrive in front of the sealed compartment. The
	damage here is more severe. Torn pieces of bulkhead
	block the door to the compartment.

					DATA
			The control mechanism. It is
			inoperative.

	Riker squeezes his arm through a twisted piece of metal
	and pounds on the door.

					RIKER
			This is Commander Riker of the
			USS Enterprise. Can you hear me?

	There is no response.

					DATA
			I advise against the use of
			phasers. The gas buildup is too
			great, Commander.

					GEORDI
			Yes. A phaser discharge now could
			blow us all out of here.

	They BACK OFF.

37   OMITTED

38   INT. BATRIS - DOOR TO AUXILIARY CONTROL ROOM

	Data clears the doorway of debris.

    STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/14/88 - ACT ONE    16.

39   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Picard is frustrated at no longer being able to see
	what's happening to the away team.

					PICARD
			What's going on?

					RIKER'S COM VOICE
			We are about to force the door.

40   INT. BATRIS - DOOR TO AUXILIARY CONTROL ROOM

	as Data steps closer to the door. With considerable
	difficulty he wedges one hand in between the sliding
	door panels. Then slowly he gets the other hand in
	place. Data, now with both hands in between the door
	panels, puts his great strength to work again, and
	slowly pries the doors APART.

43   ANOTHER ANGLE

	As soon as there is enough of an opening, both Riker
	and Geordi put their shoulders to the job, and between
	them all the door is OPENED. Riker STEPS THROUGH.

44   INT. BATRIS - ENGINEERING COMPARTMENT

	As Riker ENTERS the room he sees TWO BLURRED FIGURES.
	The first steps forward. It's dreamlike. A figure
	looms out of the DARKNESS. A very tall, very fierce
	KLINGON.

					PICARD'S COM VOICE
			What is it? What are you seeing?

					RIKER
			Klingons.

45   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Picard REACTS to this new twist.

47   INT. BATRIS - ENGINEERING COMPARTMENT

	The Klingon, KORRIS, moves forward to begin formalized
	greetings.

					KORRIS
			I am Korris.

					RIKER
			We'll handle the formalities later -
			right now we have to get off
			this ship. Are there any others
			still alive?

					KORRIS
			No.

	Data APPEARS in the torn hatchway.

					DATA
			I believe there is a quicker way
			out of here.

					GEORDI
			Let's go.

	Riker indicates a third figure on the floor.

					RIKER
			Check him, Data.

	Data steps over and scans the figure with his
	tricorder.

					DATA
			He is alive -- but just barely.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT TWO      19.

47   CONTINUED:

					KORRIS
			No. I will carry him.

					DATA
			As you wish.

			We're out of time, Commander -- the
			ship's going to blow.

					RIKER
			Transporter Room, have you got
			a lock on us?

					TASHA'S COM VOICE
			Not yet. Too much interference.
			You have to get farther away from
			the Engineering section.

	Behind them there is an ominous change in the GAS
	BUILDUP.

49   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Everyone watches the screen. Worf, from his Science
	Station where he is monitoring the Batris:

					WORF
			Sir, the Engineering section is

			Granted.

59   INT. SICKBAY

	BEVERLY and her NURSE are working on the most seriously
	injured Klingon. Riker is slightly off to the side.
	Data and Geordi have returned to their duties. Picard
	and Worf ENTER. The two Klingons REACT with surprise

	Picard then turns to the other two.

					PICARD
			I am Jean-Luc Picard, the captain
			of this vessel.

					KORRIS
			My name is Korris -- captain of
			the Klingon Defense Force. This
			is Lieutenant Konmel.

					PICARD
			Do you mind telling me what
			happened?

					KORRIS
			Not at all.

					PICARD
			Firstly, what were you doing on
			that ship? It's not Klingon.

					KORRIS
			We were passengers. The Talarians
			were taking us to outpost
			M-Zed-Five.

					PICARD
			What was the ship doing in the
			Neutral Zone?

					KORRIS
			We were attacked without warning
			by a Ferengi cruiser. During the
			course of the battle we must have
			unknowingly entered the Neutral
			Zone.

					WORF
			The weapons were not Ferengi.

	Now the two Klingons turn their full attention on Worf.
	It's a time for evaluation.

					KORRIS
			What is your name?

					WORF
			I am Lieutenant Worf.

					KORRIS
			And you are a member of this
			crew?

59   CONTINUED: (2)

					WORF
			Yes.

	Korris pauses a beat, then continues.

					KORRIS
			You are correct. The weapons were
			Klingon, but the vessel was
			Ferengi.

					PICARD
			What precipitated the attack?

					KORRIS
			I don't know -- we were in our
			quarters.

					KONMEL
			The captain of the freighter had
			no combat experience so he did
			not anticipate the first attack,
			which was nearly fatal.

					KORRIS
			We took control -- with his
			permission. The Ferengi called
			for surrender. I told the captain
			to agree to all their terms. We
			had one chance -- I was confident
			it would be enough.

					KONMEL
			As adversaries the Ferengi are
			not very worthy.

	Worf listens with relish to the story of the battle.

					WORF
			Still, your weapons were limited,
			and their ship superior.

					KORRIS
			Yes -- all we had was an ancient
			battery of Merculite rockets.
			Our only chance was to trick them
			into lowering their shields.

					KONMEL
			We reduced power and lured them
			in.

59   CONTINUED: (3)

					KORRIS
			They suspected nothing.

					KONMEL
			Then, when they lowered their
			shields to beam over a boarding
			party, we opened fire.

					WORF
			Your strategy was very sound.

					PICARD
			There are still a few items that
			are not clear.

					KORRIS
			Captain -- we are hungry and tired.

					PICARD
			Yes, of course.

					KORRIS
			If there is anything more you need
			to know about this incident -- we
			will be available.

					WORF
			Permission to show our guests to
			their quarters, Captain.

					PICARD
			Permission granted.

	Worf leads them OUT of Sickbay.

					RIKER
			What do you think, Captain?

					PICARD
			There's a lot more to this than
			we've been told. Why was the
			Talarian ship so far off course?
			What was its point of departure?

					RIKER
			And why would three Klingon
			officers hitch a ride on a broken-down
			freighter?

59   CONTINUED: (4)

					PICARD
			Contact Starfleet -- find out what
			they know about Korris and
			company.

					RIKER
			It will take forty-eight hours
			for a message to get to Starfleet
			on subspace frequency.

					PICARD
			They are going to be with us for
			a while; we might as well learn
			all we can about them.

					RIKER
			Do you think I should have a
			security team assigned to our
			guests?

					PICARD
			No -- Worf is capable of dealing
			with anything that may arise.
				(to Beverly)
			How's your patient, Doctor?

					BEVERLY
			Not good. I'll keep you posted.

	Riker and Picard EXIT. Beverly's expression offers
	little cause for hope.

60   INT. GUEST QUARTERS

	as Worf and the two Klingons ENTER. In the b.g.,
	Konmel goes directly to the food station. As Worf and
	Korris APPROACH the table, Konmel orders a Klingon meal -
	complete with Klingon ale.

        KORRIS                        KONMEL
Sit, friend - let us eat.       O'MAT - GRI - T'M -
I did not know there are.       PFFIOTS -
Klingons serving on human
Starfleet vessels.

        WORF
As far as I know, I am
the only one.

	Konmel comes over and pours three great glasses of ale.

60   CONTINUED:

					KORRIS
			Tell me, what it is like for the
			hunter to lie down with the prey?
			Have they tamed you -- or have you
			always been docile?

					KONMEL
			Does it make you gentle? Has it
			filled your heart with peace?

					KORRIS
			Do glorious battles no longer
			inspire your dreams?

					WORF
			Why do you mock me? Why do you
			wish to anger me?

					KORRIS
			Only to see if it is still
			possible.

					WORF
			It is.

	The two Klingons give Worf a long look of evaluation.

61   OMITTED

62   INT. SICKBAY

	Beverly's aide (Nurse) calls to her.

	Beverly COMES OUT of her office and INTO Sickbay.

					NURSE
				(continuing)
			The Klingon's condition is

	Beverly comes over and makes a quick examination. The
	Klingon's body JERKS VIOLENTLY.

					BEVERLY
			He's convulsing.

					KORRIS
			Yes, Captain.

			I am sorry to report -- your

64   INT. SICKBAY

	Picard is there with Worf, Korris and Konmel.

					BEVERLY
			He's dying.

	Korris and Konmel APPROACH their dying comrade.

65   ANGLE ON THE KLINGONS

	as they STEP OVER to the examining table. Korris takes
	KUNIVAS' head in his hands and turns it toward him.
	Kunivas opens his eyes and looks up. Korris leans
	forward and with his thumbs he keeps the dying man's
	eyes from closing. Korris leans even closer. Worf
	is drawn to them.

66   ANGLE ON WORF

	with Beverly and Picard standing beside him, watching
	the strange ritual.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT TWO      28.

67   ANGLE ON THE KLINGONS

	It is intense, and very private. From one of the
	three, or maybe from all of them, it's difficult to
	tell, there comes a LOW RUMBLING GROWL as the moment
	of death approaches. Then -- with a SHUDDER it happens.
	The wounded man dies. For a beat, Korris continues to
	stare into the dead man's eyes. Then, like an
	explosion from the bowels of Valhalla -- the living
	Klingons, including Worf, throw back their heads and
	ROAR.

67A  ANGLE ON PICARD AND BEVERLY

	as they REACT to the ritual.

68   OMITTED

69   BACK TO SCENE

	The three Klingons, shoulders touching -- faces skyward
	-- fill the room with a SOUND which comes from deep
	inside them. It is not the WAIL of the dead, but the
	exaltation of the victorious. Then -- as one, they
	stop. The looks they exchange between them are the
	looks of men who have participated in a great and noble
	victory.

70   ANGLE ON PICARD AND BEVERLY

	Both are awed by the ceremony.

70A  KONMEL AND DEAD KLINGON

	Konmel pauses by the dead Klingon -- as if to say a
	final farewell. While no one is looking, he removes
	the spike from his comrade's boot.

71   BACK TO SCENE

	It's QUIET. The three Klingons are content.

					BEVERLY
			Is there any special arrangement

	Worf, Korris and Konmel walk along.

					KONMEL
			The opponent that killed Kunivas

					WORF
				(stunned by the

			If the opponent was not an

	For a beat, neither Korris nor Konmel answer.

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Tell me -- what really happened?

	Korris gives Worf a long steady gaze.

					KORRIS
			I do not wish to anger you. We
			are after all, brothers lost among
			the infidels.
				(he pauses; then)
			How did you come to this ship and
			that uniform?

					WORF
			Through an act of kindness. The
			Romulans attacked the Khitomer
			outpost. Everyone was killed.
			I was buried under the rubble and
			left for dead. A human Starfleet
			officer found me. He took me to
			his home on Gault and told his
			wife to raise me as his son.

			How old were you?

					WORF
			Before the age of inclusion --

					KONMEL
			That young?

					KORRIS
				(with disdain)
			Gault is a farming colony.

					WORF
			When my foster brother and I were
			of age we entered the Starfleet
			Academy. He hated it and returned
			to Gault. I stayed.

					KONMEL
			You haven't spent much time among
			your own kind.

					WORF
			Almost none.

					KORRIS
			So when the night was still and
			quiet, and the sound of the blood
			rushing through your veins filled
			your ears, the only way to
			silence it was to slip out into
			the night and, like the hunter
			that spawned you, join in the
			struggle of life and death... but
			you were unable...

					KONMEL
			... And those around you did not
			understand. You frightened them.

					KORRIS
			They shunned you. Cursed you.
			Called you vile names, and you
			knew not why. Even now do you
			know why you are driven? Why you
			cannot relent -- or repent -- or
			confess -- or abstain? How could
			you know? There have been no other
			Klingons to lead you to that
			knowledge.

74   CONTINUED: (2)

					WORF
			Yes -- those feelings are part of
			me, but I control them. They do
			not rule me.

					KORRIS
			Yes, to fit in, the humans demand
			you change the one thing you
			cannot change. Yet, because you
			cannot -- you do, for that too is
			the mark of the warrior. You said
			I mock you -- I do not. I salute
			you.

	There is a pause as the bonding which began in the
	death ritual, now continues.

					KONMEL
			But, against whom do you test
			yourself? Against what enemy do
			you charge into battle?

					WORF
			I have been in battle.

	Korris moves closer to Worf.

					KORRIS
			Then you understand.

					WORF
			I do.

					KORRIS
			Brother, this peace, this
			alliance, is like a living death
			to warriors like us.

					KONMEL
			You are right, we lied to your
			captain. We commandeered that
			freighter -- left the crew behind,
			and were in search of a place
			where we could live our lives as
			true Klingons.

					WORF
			You did not fight the Ferengi.

					KORRIS
			It was one of our own cruisers
			sent to bring us back.

     STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT THREE     33.

74   CONTINUED: (3)

					WORF
				(surprised)
			You destroyed a Klingon ship?

					KORRIS
			I did not want to battle our
			brothers. But, we had no choice.
			Our leaders sent the cruiser.
			They have been corrupted by the
			illusion of peace.

					KONMEL
			They have traded our birthright
			-- so they may die in their
			sleep...

					KORRIS
			... A peace that makes the Klingon
			heart that beats in my chest
			wither and die.

	Worf looks at his fellow warriors for a long beat.
	Korris changes the mood.

					KORRIS
				(continuing)
			Is it permitted for you to show

					WORF
			Yes -- of course.

75   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Other than Worf, the crew is in their usual positions.

					KONMEL
			What magnificent battles we could

	Worf gives him a sharp look.

					WORF
			Perhaps your dreams of glory no

					KORRIS
			Standing here we will never know.
			The answer lies out there. Our

	Picard has his eye on the aft turbolift, as Worf
	EMERGES and goes to report to him.

					PICARD
			A Klingon vessel is due to arrive.
			They have requested return of the
			renegades.

					WORF
			They will be tried and executed,
			sir.

					PICARD
			Lieutenant Worf, understand that
			I am not unmindful of the mixed
			feelings you must have about this
			incident.

					WORF
			Thank you, sir.

	Worf remains standing where he is. A long moment.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FOUR      42.

87   CONTINUED:

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Are there no other options, sir?

					PICARD
			None that I can see.

	Worf nods and goes to his station. Picard leans over
	to Riker.

					RIKER
			He seems to be handling it well,
			sir.

					PICARD
			So far. But he must be torn.
			These are his people.

					DATA
			Sir, the Klingon vessel is within
			range. They are requesting visual
			contact.

					PICARD
			Open frequencies.

	The Klingon captain APPEARS on the Main Viewscreen.

					K'NERA
			We are in position now to receive
			the criminals.

					PICARD
			We will prepare for transfer.

					WORF
			Captain -- permission to address
			the captain on the Klingon vessel.

	Picard is surprised.

					WORF
				(continuing)
			I know it is against standard
			procedure -- but there is something
			I must say.

					PICARD
			Permission granted.

	Worf STEPS FORWARD.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FOUR      43.

87   CONTINUED: (2)

					WORF
			K'OMGI BIMOGUS.

					K'NERA
			G'ARMOND T'RIS.

					WORF
			Could we speak English, sir? I
			am not comfortable in Kling.

					K'NERA
			What is it you want?

					WORF
			To plead.

					K'NERA
			You waste your time. Their
			actions threaten the alliance.
			They disobeyed and must be
			punished.

					WORF
			Yes, they must be punished, but
			not executed with dishonor.

					K'NERA
			Why do you care?

					WORF
			What burns in their eyes -- fires
			my soul. I hear their words and
			I see it all as it was. Part of
			me longs for that time.

					K'NERA
			It's bred in the bone. We all
			do.

					WORF
			Then send them to a planet in
			the Halee system. Allow them to
			meet death on their feet with a
			weapon in their hand. Not tied
			and helpless.

	K'Nera pauses a beat.

					K'NERA
			When one of us dies that way --
			it diminishes all of us.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FOUR      44.

87   CONTINUED: (3)

					WORF
			Yes.

					K'NERA
			Brother -- I feel as you. I too
			wish they could fly free. But --
			I have no choice.

	Worf studies the screen for a beat.

					WORF
				(to K'Nera)
			Sir.

	He BACKS OFF.

					K'NERA
			We await the transfer.

	Main Viewer GOES OFF.

					PICARD
				(into Com)
			Lieutenant Yar, escort the
			prisoners to the Transporter Room.

					TASHA'S COM VOICE
			Aye, sir.

88   INT. SECURITY AREA

	Konmel and Korris construct a Klingon weapon. Each
	takes off his belt buckle. Korris twists them
	together. Then each removes the side panels from their
	boots. These too, fit together and form more of the
	weapon, which now begins to GLOW. Then Konmel removes
	the item he took off the dead Klingon. He turns it
	until it forms into a tube which he attaches to the
	other pieces and this becomes the barrel. The weapon
	takes shape. The bracelet which Korris takes from his
	wrist becomes the muzzle. Konmel's the stock.

88A  ANGLE ON KORRIS

	He holds the very deadly looking "phaser" and with a
	nod of his head, he indicates the forcefield.

   STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/14/88 - ACT FOUR   45.

	ANGLE ON KONMEL (OPTICAL)

	removes what looks like a very common button from his
	uniform, then leans down and carefully attaches it to
	the bottom of the forcefield. The field instantly IS
	NEUTRALIZED.

89   INT. CORRIDOR - OUTSIDE SECURITY AREA (OPTICAL)

	The two security guards immediately realize the
	forcefield is down.

					GUARD
				(on communicator)
			This is Ramos -- the forcefield
			in Security Three has...

	He never finishes. Korris and Konmel COME BURSTING
	OUT the door. Korris FIRES at one guard. A PHASER
	FIGHT breaks out. Konmel and the two security guards
	are killed, as Korris ESCAPES.

	ANOTHER ANGLE - OUTSIDE SECURITY AREA

	Tasha and a team of security guards ARRIVE. She touches
	her communicator.

					TASHA
			Lieutenant Yar to bridge. There
			has been an escape. Two of my
			security are dead. So is Konmel.
			Korris is loose -- and armed.

93   INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	The crew REACTS.

					PICARD
			Keep me informed, Lieutenant.

					TASHA'S COM VOICE
			Aye, sir.

					PICARD
			Data, visual on K'Nera.

					DATA
			Visual on, sir.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FOUR      46.

93   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			There will be a slight delay,
			Captain. Korris has escaped.

					K'NERA
			He is a trained Klingon warrior,
			perhaps more than you can handle.
			It is no disgrace to request our
			assistance.

					PICARD
			I think we can handle the
			situation.

94   INT. MAIN ENGINEERING

	Korris COMES BURSTING around the corner. Those on
	duty REACT. Korris brandishes his weapon... They BACK
	OFF, and he CONTINUES THROUGH -- past the Dilithium
	Crystal Chamber. He PAUSES and looks around for a
	position of advantage.

94A  INT. MAIN ENGINEERING - ANOTHER ANGLE

	Tasha and her team ENTER cautiously.

94B  ANGLE ON KORRIS

	He's found a ladder and is climbing to the second
	level.

94C  ANGLE ON TASHA

	as she sizes up the situation.

					TASHA
			Captain. Korris is in Main
			Engineering.

95   INT. MAIN ENGINEERING - ANOTHER SECTION

	where Korris is barricaded. The phaser pointing
	directly at the Di-Crystal Chamber.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FOUR      47.

95   CONTINUED:

					PICARD'S COM VOICE
			Commander Korris. This is a
			futile effort. You cannot win.

	Korris does not respond, then:

					KORRIS
			I will speak only to my countryman
			-- only to Worf.

95A  INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	REACTIONS from Picard and Worf to this demand.

96   ANGLE ON TASHA

	as she looks around to see where Korris is.

					TASHA
			Captain, he has a phaser aimed
			directly at the Dilithium Crystal
			Chamber. At that range, one blast
			and...

97   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Everyone's uncertain as to what to do next.

					PICARD
			I understand, Lieutenant.

					WORF
			Permission to leave the bridge,
			Captain.

					PICARD
			We'll both go.

	Worf and Picard LEAVE the bridge as the crew watches
	him.

									FADE OUT.

	FADE IN:

98   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	ESTABLISHING.

99   INT. MAIN ENGINEERING

	as Worf and Picard APPROACH. Tasha has contained the
	situation and cleared out all but her security force
	who have been strategically placed.

					PICARD
			What's the siutation?

					TASHA
			He's on the second level. Armed
			with a phaser. We do not have
			a clear field of fire.

					PICARD
			How do you suggest we proceed?

					TASHA
			Wait him out.

					WORF
			Captain. May I speak with him?

					TASHA
			I don't think that's a good idea.
			Right now he's running on
			adrenalin. Let it cool. There's
			no place he can go.

					WORF
			He will wait only as long as he
			believes it is to his advantage,
			the moment it is not, he will fire
			his phaser into the Dilithium
			Crystal Chamber.

					TASHA
			That would destroy the Enterprise
			and him along with it.

					WORF
			Yes... he knows.

      STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FIVE      49.

99   CONTINUED:

	Picard is pensive for a beat.

					PICARD
			Talk to him, Worf.

	Worf nods, and WALKS THROUGH Engineering toward the
	Di-Crystal Chamber.

99A  ANOTHER ANGLE

	As Worf moves up beside the Di-Crystal Chamber, he
	looks up and sees:

99B  ANGLE ON KORRIS

	He's perched on the second level. He has a clear field
	of fire. Before another could reach him, he could
	easily take out the Di-Crystal Chamber. He sees Worf.

					KORRIS
			Brother -- I knew you would come.

99C  ANGLE ON WORF

	He glances over to the ladder and walks toward it.
	Korris continues to talk.

					KORRIS
			Now I... we have a chance.

99D  ANGLE ON KORRIS

	He relaxes slightly because now has has an ally.

					KORRIS
			I could not do it alone, but I
			would rather die here, than let
			the traitors of Kling pick the
			meat from my bones. With you it
			will work.

					WORF
			What will work?

          STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FIVE          50.

100  BACK TO SCENE (OPTICAL)

	as Worf nears the top of the ladder and swings onto the
	catwalk.

					KORRIS
			I will demand Captain Picard give
			us access to the Battle Bridge.
			We will separate from the rest
			of the ship, and together, we will
			light up the galaxy. Imagine the
			fear which will roll before us.

					WORF
			Captain Picard will not comply.

					KORRIS
			He cannot -- dare not -- refuse us.
			In order to save themselves, they
			will give us what we demand -- then,
			brother, we are free.

					WORF
			Put down the phaser.

	Korris is surprised.

					KORRIS
			Wait. I do not believe this.

					WORF
			Believe it.

					KORRIS
			I have tasted your heart. You
			have been with them, but you are
			still "of" us. Do not deny the
			challenge of your destiny. Get
			off your knees and soar. Open
			your eyes and let the dream take
			flight.

					WORF
			My brother, it is you who does
			not see. You are looking for
			battles in the wrong place. The
			test of the warrior is not without --
			it is within.

	Worf touches his chest.

          STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FIVE          51.

100  CONTINUED:

					WORF
				(continuing)
			Here we meet the challenge. It
			is the weaknesses in here the
			warrior must overcome.

					KORRIS
			No.

					WORF
			You have talked of glory -- and
			conquest -- and legends we will
			write.

					KORRIS
			Yes -- the birthright of every
			Klingon.

					WORF
			Yet in all you say, where are the
			words -- duty -- honor -- loyalty.
			Without which a warrior is
			nothing.

					KORRIS
			What are you saying?

					WORF
			Put down the phaser.

	Korris ignores the command -- as he continues to rail at
	Worf.

					KORRIS
			Living among these humans has
			sucked the Klingon heart out of
			you. You are a sham. My words
			were dust upon the ground. Your
			blood has no fire -- you are weak
			-- like them. I don't care what
			you look like -- you are no
			Klingon.

					WORF
			Perhaps not.

	And without warning -- he BLASTS Korris. The phaser
	is set on kill.

101  ANGLE ON KORRIS

	as he FALLS.

          STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - 1/13/88 - ACT FIVE          52.

101A ANGLE ON WORF

	He REACTS.

102  INT. MAIN ENGINEERING - PICARD, TASHA, SECURITY
TEAM

	Tasha and the others START TO MOVE FORWARD.

					PICARD
			Wait.

	The security team FREEZES.

103  ANGLE ON WORF

	He steps over to Korris, leans down and takes the dying
	Klingon's head in his hands and with his thumbs pries
	open the eyes. For a long moment he stares into them.

104  PICARD AND TASHA

	as they watch the ritual.

105  ANGLE ON WORF

	After a beat, he leans back his head and ROARS a
	warning to those who have gone before. A Klingon
	warrior is coming -- beware.

106  ANGLE ON PICARD

	OFF his REACTION.

107  OMITTED

108  INT. MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Picard and Worf EXIT the turbolift. As Picard takes
	his Command Chair:

					PICARD
			Open hailing frequencies.

					GEORDI
			Hailing frequencies open.

        STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/14/88 - ACT FIVE       53.

108  CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			Commander K'Nera, this is Captain
			Picard.

	The image of the Klingon Commander COMES ON the
	Viewscreen.

					K'NERA
			Yes, Captain.

					PICARD
			Korris and the other Klingon are
			dead.

					K'NERA
			May I speak with Lieutenant Worf?

	Picard motions for Worf to step forward.

					WORF
			Yes, Commander.

					K'NERA
			How did they die?

					WORF
			They died well.

	K'Nera nods.

					PICARD
			Do you wish the bodies?

					K'NERA
			They are now only empty shells -
			dispose of them as you see fit.
				(to Worf)
			Worf, when your tour of duty on the
			Enterprise is complete -- consider
			serving with us. Your training
			and experience would be of benefit
			to us -- and perhaps there are some
			things we could teach you.

					WORF
			I will consider it. Thank you.

	K'Nera nods and CLICKS OFF.

        STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/15/88 - ACT FIVE       54.

109  ANGLE ON PICARD

	He REACTS with mild surprise at Worf's statement and
	looks over at Tasha, who is also surprised.

110  CLOSE ON WORF

	Worf pauses for a beat, then replaces the crewman at
	a Forward Position. As he sits, Worf senses the
	tension, and hears the SILENCE. He slowly turns and
	looks back at them.

111  FULL SHOT

	Picard, Riker -- and the rest wait for some explanation.

					WORF
				(to Picard)
			I was just being polite, sir.

					PICARD
			Commendable, Lieutenant. Mister La
			Forge, set course for Starbase
			Eight-four.

	Geordi taps in the information.

					WORF
			Really... I have no desire to
			leave the Enterprise.

	They continue to just look at him.

					PICARD
			Good.

	Worf turns back to his console.

					GEORDI
			Course set.

					PICARD
			Speed -- warp five.

					GEORDI
			Warp five.

					PICARD
			... And Worf.

	Worf turns and looks at Picard.

        STAR TREK: "Heart Of Glory" - REV. 1/15/88 - ACT FIVE       55.

111  CONTINUED:

					PICARD
				(continuing)
			The bridge wouldn't be the same
			without you.

	A look between Worf and the others, who are in complete
	agreement.

					PICARD
			Engage.

	A very satisfied Worf turns back to his console as
	Geordi engages the warp drive. Picard settles back
	with a smile, as do all the others.

112  EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	as the great ship MOVES OFF.

									FADE OUT.
