					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's log, stardate 45429.3.
			While on a mapping survey of
			sector two-two-one-three-nine, we
			are conveying a delegation of
			Ullians to Kaldra Four. These
			telepathic historians conduct their
			research by retrieving long-forgotten
			memories.

2    CLOSE ON KEIKO

	With her face fixed in concentration, she struggles to
	grab hold of an elusive memory.

					KEIKO
			It's a chipped cup, off-white...
			with a crack in it... I can see
			it... but I can't remember
			anything else about it...

					TARMIN (o.c.)
			When you see it... do you hear
			any sounds?

	The man's voice is gentle, coaxing. Keiko tries to
	concentrate.

					KEIKO
			No... I don't think so... wait,
			yes...

	She tilts her head slightly, as though trying to hear
	better.

					KEIKO
			Humming...
				(as if listening)
			Someone's humming...

      STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - TEASER      2.

2    CONTINUED:

					TARMIN (o.c.)
			A woman.

					KEIKO
			Yes... but I don't know who it
			is...

	CUT to reveal we are --

3    INT. TEN FORWARD

	Keiko sits at a table opposite a large,
	powerfully-built alien named TARMIN, 50's, whose eyes
	are closed as he concentrates on the same images as
	Keiko. Tarmin's hand touches his head. A
	white-haired female alien, INAD, quite a bit older than
	Tarmin, sits beside him. A third alien, JEV,
	Tarmin's attractive son, 30's, stands and observes.
	Also observing are RIKER, GEORDI, and BEVERLY, who seem
	to be fascinated by this process.

					TARMIN
			Try to touch the cup.

	Keiko looks at him, unsure what he means, then closes
	her eyes and tentatively reaches out her hand.

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

4    A CHILD'S HAND - INSERT

	touching the side of the cup, then running a finger
	along its rim, reaching a sharp-edged chip and abruptly
	pulling back. (NOTE: These cuts are all inserts, very
	close-up, revealing nothing of the surrounding.)

5    RESUME SCENE

	Keiko pulls her hand back as well, opens her eyes.

					KEIKO
			It has a sharp edge where it's
			chipped.

					TARMIN
			Is there anything inside the cup?

	Keiko concentrates, trying to see the image.

      STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - TEASER      3.

5    CONTINUED:

					KEIKO
			A liquid... dark...

					TARMIN
			Like tea...

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

6    A CHILD'S HAND - INSERT

	quickly dipping two fingers inside the cup.

7    OMITTED

8    RESUME SCENE

					KEIKO
			It's not hot...

	Keiko puts the same two fingers into her mouth, as if
	to taste the liquid, then scrunches up her nose.

					KEIKO
			Bitter...

					TARMIN
			There's something else in the
			cup...

					KEIKO
			Yes... with a wooden handle...

					TARMIN
			A spoon...

					KEIKO
			No... It's more delicate than
			that.

					TARMIN
			Reach for it.

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

9    A CHILD'S HAND - INSERT

	reaching for the wooden handle, pulling out a JAPANESE
	INK BRUSH.

      STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - TEASER      4.

10   RESUME SCENE

					KEIKO
			It's a brush! An ink brush.

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

11   THE INK BRUSH - INSERT

	in the child's hands, one holding the brush, the other
	touching the bristles.

12   RESUME SCENE

					KEIKO
			I hear that humming again.

					TARMIN
			Keep listening to it, and hold
			out the brush. See if someone
			takes it from you.

	Keiko extends her hand, as if it held a brush in it.

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

13   AN OLD WOMAN'S HAND - INSERT

	reaching for the brush, taking it by the handle.

14   RESUME KEIKO

					KEIKO
			It's Obachan! My grandmother.
			She's doing brush writing. I
			remember it now!

	Tarmin opens his eyes, pleased with himself.

					KEIKO
			She used that cup for cleaning
			the brush, and it was my job to
			fill it with water and bring it
			to the table.
				(remembering)
			I'd sit beside her and watch the
			most beautiful characters come
			from that brush. And the whole
			time, she'd be humming to herself.

14   CONTINUED:

					KEIKO (cont'd)
				(smiles, amazed)
			It's like it was yesterday.

					BEVERLY
			You remember such vivid details...
			it's remarkable.

					KEIKO
			For years I've seen that old cup
			in my memory... but I could never
			recall what it was or why it was
			important.
				(to Tarmin)
			Thank you.

					TARMIN
			You're very welcome, young lady.

	He looks around at the group.

					TARMIN
			Perhaps someone else would care
			to try?

	Inad and Jev react to this, uncomfortable with Tarmin
	"soliciting" the group. Tarmin fixes his eyes on
	Beverly.

					TARMIN
			You, madam... you're thinking of
			that first childhood kiss.
			Wouldn't you like to remember
			more about it?

	Beverly is amazed by this, but Jev remonstrates his
	father.

					JEV
			Father, you know you're not
			supposed to probe someone's
			memories unless they've given you
			permission.

					TARMIN
			You're right... but sometimes with
			a beautiful woman -- I can't help
			myself.

	There is good-natured laughter at this.

14   CONTINUED: (2)

					GEORDI
				(to Riker)
			What about you, Commander? Any
			memories you feel like digging
			up?

					RIKER
				(grinning)
			None that I'd want to share with
			an audience.

	Geordi and the others grin at this; Keiko stands.

					KEIKO
			I'd better be going... it's
			getting late.

	The group disperses, Riker and Geordi moving to the
	exit, some of the others moving off in little groups.
	CAMERA drops off on Jev, who stands alone, an enigmatic
	look on his face.

									FADE OUT.

	EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	at impulse.

					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's log, supplemental.
			Reports of the Ullians' remarkable
			feats have piqued my interest.
			I have invited the senior staff
			to a Captain's Dinner in honor
			of our guests.

	INT. CORRIDOR

	Geordi and Data walking along a corridor.

					DATA
			It is perplexing to me that the
			Ullians' ability to retrieve
			memory is so sought after. If
			an event is important enough to
			be recovered... why would it have
			been forgotten?

	Geordi ponders how to explain this.

					GEORDI
			It's not quite the same for us
			as it is for you, Data. You
			record every second of every event
			in your life...

					DATA
			That is correct.

					GEORDI
			And if you want to recall any one
			of those seconds, you just access
			the proper memory circuit.

					DATA
			My understanding of the Human
			brain suggests that the process
			is the same for you.
					(MORE)

     STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 11/25/91 - ACT ONE     7A.

	CONTINUED:

					DATA (cont'd)
			Each memory is encoded in chains
			of molecules, and when you want
			to retrieve it, you simply access
			the proper RNA sequence.

					GEORDI
			Well, yeah, that's true...

					DATA
			Then in what way is it different?

					GEORDI
			Sometimes... There are memories
			we just can't tap into. For
			instance... I have no recollection
			of what I did on my last birthday.
			Birthdays are important
			occasions... you'd think I'd
			remember how I spent the day.
			But I can't even remember where
			I was.

	They reach a turbolift, and the doors open.

	INT. TURBOLIFT

	as they enter.

					GEORDI
			Deck two. On the other hand --
			I remember everything about the
			time I got my first pet... a
			Circassian cat. I was eight. I
			remember how funny he looked...
			how excited I was... it's as if
			it happened last week.

					DATA
			Perhaps you remember the pleasant
			memories and forget the unpleasant
			ones?

					GEORDI
			Well, not really. Sometimes the
			bad memories are the most intense
			of all.

	Data finds this all very difficult to follow.

     STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 11/25/91 - ACT ONE     7B.

B14	CONTINUED:

					DATA
			It would seem there is no
			predictable pattern to Human
			memory.

	Geordi is grateful for this summation -- any summation
	-- of an inexplicable subject.

					GEORDI
			It would seem.

	The turbolift doors open and they EXIT.

15   INT. DINING ROOM

	An elegant dinner is being served to the Enterprise's
	guests of honor: Tarmin, the delegation leader, Inad,
	and Jev. PICARD, Riker, WORF, DATA, Geordi, TROI, and
	Beverly are present.

					JEV
			This "library" of ours has been
			in the planning stages for years
			-- a collection of the retrieved
			memories of races from many
			different star systems --

	We sense that Jev is sincere and idealistic about this
	dream; Tarmin, however, wants center stage, and
	interrupts him. Jev subsides, though he's annoyed.

					TARMIN
			What my son means to say is --
			we think of ourselves as
			"archaeologists of the mind." We
			believe that the history of a
			world is contained in the personal
			experiences of its people.

					PICARD
			Rather like the ancient oral
			historians of Earth.

					TARMIN
			Exactly. The library we propose
			will be a vast storehouse of these
			individual memories.

					RIKER
			Sounds like quite a project...
			how long will it take to finish
			your studies on Kaldra?

     STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 11/25/91 - ACT ONE     7C.

15   CONTINUED:

					INAD
			Many months. We have been working
			for years, and have surveyed only
			eleven planets in eight star
			systems.

      STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - ACT ONE      8.

15   CONTINUED:

					JEV
			But it's our way of life. We
			wouldn't want to do anything else.

					BEVERLY
				(with feigned innocence)
			Captain, Mister Tarmin gave us
			a demonstration of his abilities
			this afternoon. It's fascinating.
			Perhaps you'd like to resurrect
			some memories...

	She smiles sweetly as Picard gives her a piercing look.
	Tarmin, oblivious to the teasing, leaps in, eager to
	pick up on the opportunity.

					TARMIN
			I'd be happy to probe your
			recollections, Captain. Most
			people find it an enjoyable
			experience.

					PICARD
			I'm sure. However, I don't think
			I'm a particularly good candidate
			--

					BEVERLY
				(gently twisting)
			I'm sure you'd be ideal. And you
			must have some intriguing
			memories...

					TARMIN
			We won't be on your ship for long.
			This might be your last
			opportunity...

					PICARD
			Yes, well...

					INAD
				(gently admonishing)
			Tarmin, you mustn't influence
			people. They must come to you
			willingly.

	Tarmin shrugs. We sense that he enjoys his work,
	likes to show off a little -- to the consternation of
	the more serious, straight-laced Ullians.

      STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - ACT ONE      9.

15   CONTINUED: (2)

					TARMIN
			I have found... over the years...
			that there are many who want the
			experience of memory retrieval...
			but who need some encouragement
			in order to come forward.

	He turns and looks around; his eye falls on Worf.

					TARMIN
			You, Mister Worf? I would love
			to explore Klingon memories.

					WORF
			Klingons do not allow themselves
			to be "probed."

					TARMIN
			There is nothing to fear...

					JEV
				(cautioning)
			Father...

					WORF
			I am not fearful.

					TARMIN
			Commander La Forge... you?

					GEORDI
			I don't think so. Thanks anyway.

					TARMIN
			I have rarely encountered such
			squeamish people! Doctor
			Crusher... Commander Riker... ?

	Tarmin's pushiness is becoming a bit much; Troi comes
	in to smooth things over.

					TROI
			Mister Tarmin, are all Ullians
			able to read memories?

					TARMIN
			No, my dear. The technique
			requires special training. It
			is a serious commitment.

     STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 11/22/91 - ACT ONE     10-10B      

15   CONTINUED: (3)

					INAD
			It takes years of study. Tarmin
			is the most proficient of our
			group.

					TARMIN
			Once Jev spent two days with a
			contingent of elderly Gentons.
			He couldn't get a thing from them.
			I worked with them for one hour
			and recovered a missing fragment
			of the Gentonian trade wars.

	Jev colors at this public put-down. He's had enough.

					JEV
			Excuse me.

	He rises and heads for the exit. There's an awkward
	pause.

					INAD
				(smoothly)
			Exactly how long will it be before
			we reach Kaldra, Captain?

	Over the next, Troi rises and follows Jev.

					PICARD
			Mister Data?

					DATA
			Four days, eleven hours, sir.

16   INT. CORRIDOR

	Jev is standing outside a turbolift as Troi rounds the
	corner.

					TROI
			Jev...

	He turns and sees her. Lets out an exasperated sigh.

					JEV
			I'm sorry. I'm being rude.

					TROI
			No, not at all...

     STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - ACT ONE     11.

16   CONTINUED:

					JEV
			My father finds it amusing to
			demean me in public. I reach the
			point where I don't want to hear
			any more.

					TROI
			It's not easy having an
			overbearing parent. Believe me,
			I know how you feel.

	He looks at her curiously.

					JEV
			Oh, yes... I was told you were
			an empath.

					TROI
			I can't read Ullians. But, I
			do know a certain Betazoid mother
			who is a great deal like your
			father.

	Jev smiles at this, relaxing a bit in this sharing of
	grievances. The turbolift doors open and they ENTER.

16A  INT. TURBOLIFT

					TROI
			Deck eight. I've learned to
			remind myself that my mother and
			I are two separate individuals.

					JEV
			Deck sixteen. And have you had
			much success with this approach,
			Counselor?

	She takes a breath as if to speak... stops herself,
	ponders for a moment... then looks right at him.

					TROI
			No... but I keep reminding myself.

	He laughs, she does, too... she's managed to ease his
	overreaction to his father's self-aggrandizement. The
	turbolift stops and the doors open.

					TROI
			Good night.

	Troi and Riker are cleaning up after a poker party.
	The mood is easy, jocular. Troi has neither the
	costume nor the hairdo she wears today. She is
	collecting poker chips, trying to stack them into their
	container. They tumble from her hands and onto the
	floor. She laughs and kneels down; Riker does the
	same.

					TROI
			No... don't...

					RIKER
			Have you stopped thinking about

	There is no answer. Their lips meet, and all the

			Something's wrong...

					RIKER
			Counselor Troi is ill.

	Jev feigns both surprise and concern.

					JEV
			I'm sorry to hear it...

					RIKER
			More than ill... she's in a coma.
			Doctor Crusher doesn't know what's

					JEV
			When did it happen?

					RIKER
			Apparently some time last night.
			That's why I wanted to talk to

	There is a hesitation as Jev eyes Riker.

					JEV
			Are you suggesting I behaved
			improperly, Commander?

					RIKER
			Not at all... I'm just trying to

					JEV
				(tersely)
			We talked briefly -- in a

	He rises and heads for the door. As he leaves, Jev's
	expression changes from benign condescension to a
	controlled anger.

41A  INT. SICKBAY

	Riker approaches Troi's bed and sits on a stool. He
	looks at her still, composed face for a moment.

					RIKER
			Deanna... I don't know if you can
			hear me.
				(beat)
			I've heard doctors say that even
			when someone's in a coma, they
			may be able to hear when people
			talk to them... that it might
			even help stimulate the brain
			and speed the healing...
				(a beat, remembering)
			In fact, I think you did that for
			me once, when I was in pretty
			bad shape...

	He takes a breath, feeling a little foolish talking to
	an unconscious person, but more driven by his concern
	for her.

					RIKER
			So I just thought... maybe it
			would help to hear a friendly
			voice...
				(with a wry smile)
			... even if you don't know you're
			hearing it.

	He takes a breath, looking for something to talk about.

					RIKER
			We've been busy mapping the

			I miss you. So don't stay away
			too long, okay?

	He half rises, putting his arms on the bed and leaning
	over her (THE POSITION HE IS IN AT THE BEGINNING OF
	SCENE 42). He stares down at her, as though willing
	her to hear him.

					BEVERLY (o.c.)
			Will... ?

	He does not look away from Deanna.

42   INT. SICKBAY

	Troi is still deeply, peacefully in her coma. Riker
	stands at the bed, staring down at her, concern etched
	in his face. Beverly approaches.

					BEVERLY

					RIKER
			I know...

					BEVERLY
			There's nothing you can do here.

			Right...

			I found the same pattern. If I

			only medical condition that would
			produce that pattern.

					WORF
			What is Iresine Syndrome?

					BEVERLY
			A very rare neurological disorder
			first diagnosed in the

			Ferrazene, hylanatine, dardilion,

					GEORDI
			Ferrazene has a complex molecular

	Picard digests this, then --

					PICARD
			Mister Data, I want you to

					DATA
			Yes, Captain.

					PICARD
			In the meantime, we must consider

92   INT. SICKBAY

	Troi sits in a bio-bed, talking with Martin and Picard.
	She is struggling to recall what happened to her.

	She looks up at them, fragile and vulnerable.

					TROI
			Why do I feel so frightened? What

					PICARD
			We were hoping you could tell us.

					TROI
			How long have I been here?

					MARTIN
			Three days.

					TROI
				(stunned)
			Three days... ?

					PICARD
			You were the first. The next day
			Commander Riker fell into a
			similar coma... and last night
			-- Doctor Crusher.

	Troi is shocked and disturbed by this revelation.

			We aren't certain.

			It may be... that there is some
			unusual effect produced by the
			Ullians' telepathic activity.

	Troi sinks back on the bed, trying to absorb all this
	startling information.

					PICARD
			I'm going to talk to them. In
			the meantime, you're to stay here
			and recuperate. And if you
			remember anything about what
			happened to you... let me know

	He turns and EXITS. Troi is left with strange,
	disturbing feelings that she can't even identify.

93   INT. ULLIAN QUARTERS

	Picard with Tarmin, Inad, and Jev. Tarmin already
	has a head of steam gathered; Picard is trying to
	navigate these troubled diplomatic waters carefully.

					TARMIN
			What are you suggesting, Captain?

					PICARD
			That you voluntarily confine
			yourself to quarters. At least
			until we unravel this mystery.

					TARMIN
				(offended)
			We're to be prisoners?

					JEV
			Father...

					PICARD
			Please don't think of it that way.

	He moves toward them, making his case.

93   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			We have done everything we can
			think of to explain these comas.
			We've performed physical

			scans... we have conducted a
			shipwide diagnostic, looking for
			viruses and parasites and
			infestations...

	He stands before the Ullians, at the end of his rope.

					PICARD
			We have investigated every
			possible cause we can imagine.
			And we have found nothing --
			nothing -- to explain the comas.

	He pauses a moment, eyeing them.

					PICARD
			The only variable we cannot
			eliminate... is your presence
			on this ship.
				(beat)
			In light of these efforts, I ask
			you to understand my request.
			And to honor it.

	There is a silence in the room.

					JEV
			Captain... our history indicates
			that we do not adversely affect
			the people we contact.

					PICARD
			I know that.

					JEV
			Then... are you implying an
			intentional assault?

					PICARD
			I am simply trying to consider

			If that is possible, of course.

			Then... I would propose doing a
			memory probe of Counselor Troi.

	Picard gives him a surprised look.

					JEV
			You've said she doesn't remember
			what happened to her before she
			lapsed into unconsciousness. I
			could retrieve that memory...
			There's a possibility it could
			explain the coma -- and prove us
			innocent.

					PICARD
			I'm sorry. But I cannot subject
			the Counselor to a potentially
			dangerous procedure.

					TARMIN
			And I will not be a party to any
			of these proceedings.

	Tarmin withdraws to another part of the room,
	separating himself from the group. Inad steps forward.

					INAD
			Jev is making a reasonable
			request, Captain. If we're to
			be accused, surely we're entitled
			to a defense.

	She walks to Picard, addresses him directly.

					INAD
			Tarmin did a memory probe on
			another of your crew... Has she
			suffered any ill effects?

					PICARD
			No...

					INAD
			And neither will Counselor Troi.
			Please... have as many people
			present as you like to guarantee
			her safety... but give us this

			Please clarify.

				(puzzled)
			Why would we do that?

			Maybe not every medical facility

			keep hunting for the real cause.

	Geordi keeps inputting.

					DATA
			You are checking for instances

			Right... and correlating them with

			On stardates 45321 and 45323, when
			the comas occurred... Tarmin was
			on his home planet.
				(looking at Data)
			He wasn't anywhere near the Nel
			system.

104  INT. TROI'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL)

	Troi is looking through patient records on the
	computer, a PADD beside her. The door CHIMES.

					TROI
			Come in.

	The door opens and Jev ENTERS. She rises and walks
	toward him.

					TROI
			Hello, Jev.

					JEV
			We'll be reaching the starbase
			soon. I wanted to say good-bye...
			and to apologize again for my
			father.

					TROI
			There's no need... you're not
			responsible for what he did.

	He gazes at her sadly for a moment.

					JEV
			Before all this happened... I had
			hoped we might become friends.

					TROI
			We still can...

					JEV
			After what he's put you through?
			Maybe you can forget... I'm not
			sure I can.

	He reaches out, touches her face.

					JEV
			You are so lovely...

	He pulls his hand away abruptly, moves away.

         STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/28/91 - ACT FIVE         57.

104  CONTINUED: (2)

					JEV
			I have to go. Good-bye.

	She is distressed by his sudden terseness. She doesn't
	want him to feel guilty for what she believes is his
	father's deed.

					TROI
			Jev... you're upset. Would you
			like to talk?

					JEV
			No...

	He is holding himself very still, as though resisting
	some overpowering instinct.

					TROI
			You'd feel better if you did...

	Slowly, he turns to face her.

					JEV
			Why do you have to be so nice...
				(closes his eyes)
			So lovely...

	Jev puts his hand on his head in the memory-probe
	fashion. Now it is Troi who looks distressed, a bit
	disoriented.

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

105  INT. RIKER'S QUARTERS (FLASHBACK)

	Poker chips falling to the floor.

106  RESUME TROI AND JEV (PRESENT)

	She tries to shake off the memory.

					TROI
			What... what's happening... ?

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

107  INT. RIKER'S QUARTERS (FLASHBACK)

	Riker's arms lowering her to the floor.

            STAR TREK: "Violations" - 10/25/91 - ACT FIVE           58.

108  RESUME TROI AND JEV (PRESENT)

	She stares at him, a little dazed but realizing what's
	happening.

					TROI
			It's happening again...

					JEV
			You are so beautiful... so
			fragile...

					TROI
			It was you... it was always you...

									SUBLIMINAL CUT TO:

109  INT. RIKER'S QUARTERS (FLASHBACK)

	Jev's arms lowering her backward -- holding her
	tightly, hurting her.

					JEV'S VOICE
				(distorted)
			Have you stopped thinking about
			us?

110  RESUME TROI AND JEV (PRESENT)

	Struggling to maintain control, Troi reaches for her
	combadge, but Jev grabs her wrist, stopping her, and
	pulls it off. She tries to grab for it, but is
	immediately assaulted by more images.

					TROI
			No...

111  INT. RIKER'S QUARTERS (FLASHBACK)

	Jev stands holding the poker chips, smiling sadly.

					JEV
			Imzadi...

113  JEV AND TROI (FLASHBACK)

	He holds her tightly, bending over her as she lies on
	the floor.

					JEV
			Imzadi...

					TROI
			No -- no --

114  INT. TROI'S QUARTERS (PRESENT)

					TROI
			No -- I won't let you!

	And, propelled by all her rage and desperation, she
	LUNGES at him. She HITS HIM in the face, and Jev grabs
	her wrists.

115  ANGLE ON TROI

	as she tries to free herself, then KICKS HIM furiously
	in the shins. Jev cries out and lets go; she PUNCHES
	HIM in the ear.

116  ANGLE ON JEV

	as, enraged, he charges her. He tries to grab her from
	behind as she reaches for the PADD from her desk; she
	struggles free and swings her arms in a wide arc,
	HITTING HIM in the face with the PADD. He recoils only
	briefly and GRABS HER firmly.

117  TROI

	struggles, PUNCHING and KICKING as best she can,
	lashing out at him, her fury preventing her from
	yielding. All of her anger propels her, all of the
	outrage she feels against this man who has violated
	her.

118  ANOTHER ANGLE - TOWARD DOOR

	as Worf, Data, and several SECURITY OFFICERS rush in.

					WORF
			Let go of her!

	Jev flings Troi away and charges Worf. He and Worf
	scuffle, but Jev is no match for the powerful Klingon.
	He is subdued and the security officers take him away.

119  ANGLE ON DATA

	who has gone immediately to Troi, helped her to her
	feet. She is out of breath and rubbing her hand, which
	is sore from hitting Jev.

          STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 11/5/91 - ACT FIVE         61.

119  CONTINUED:

					DATA
			Counselor, are you hurt?

					TROI
			No... why... why did you come
			here? How did you know?

					DATA
			We discovered two instances of
			unexplained comas on Nel Three
			while the Ullians were there...
			but Tarmin was not part of the
			group. A closer examination
			revealed that only one Ullian was
			present at all incidents of coma
			-- Jev.

119A ON TROI

	as she takes this in.

					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's log, stardate 45435.8.
			Doctor Crusher and Commander Riker
			regained consciousness while we
			were en route to the Ullian home
			world. The slow process of their
			recovery has begun.

122  INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE

	Picard, Beverly, Troi, Riker, and Tarmin -- who has
	lost his pomposity and braggadocio.

         STAR TREK: "Violations" - REV. 10/31/91 - ACT FIVE         62.

122  CONTINUED:

					TARMIN
			I have asked that the finest
			physicians on my world meet with
			you all upon our return... to help
			you in your healing process.

					BEVERLY
			They have been in contact with
			us already. Thank you...

					TARMIN
			It has been three centuries since
			anyone was treated for this...
			this form of rape. But there are
			medical records from that era...
				(beat)
			It was a time of great violence
			among my people... a time we
			thought we had left far behind.
			That this could happen now...
			is unimaginable.

					PICARD
			Earth was once a violent planet,
			too. At times, the chaos seemed
			to threaten the very fabric of
			life.

	He moves toward Tarmin, trying to offer comfort.

					PICARD
			Like you, we have evolved. We've
			learned to find better ways to
			handle our conflicts.
				(beat)
			But no one would deny that a seed
			of violence remains in every one
			of us. The potential for it is
			always there. We must learn to
			recognize it... because that
			violence is capable of consuming
			each of us. Just as it consumed
			your son.

	And as they all reflect on these somber thoughts --

									FADE OUT.
