1    EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	The ship in orbit around a planet.

					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's Log: Stardate 47751.2.
			The Enterprise has arrived at
			Starbase Three One Zero for a
			meeting with Fleet Admiral
			Necheyev. This visit will also
			give us the opportunity to pick up
			a... member of the family.

2    INT. WESLEY'S QUARTERS

	BEVERLY and WESLEY ENTER from the Corridor. Wesley is
	wearing his cadet uniform and is carrying a suitcase.

					BEVERLY
			Here you go... your very own
			quarters.
				(with humor)
			And they're as far away from mine
			as possible, so you won't even
			have to see me if you don't want
			to.

	Wes rolls his eyes slightly as he starts to unpack.

					WESLEY
			Mom... you know that's not why I
			asked for my own quarters this --

					BEVERLY
				(teasing)
			No, no. You don't have to
			explain. There comes a time in a
			young man's life when he doesn't
			want to stay with his poor old
			mother... I understand.

        STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - TEASER        2.

2    CONTINUED:

					WESLEY
				(wry)
			I'll come visit you in the old
			Doctor's Home every Sunday.

	Beverly smiles... she's very happy, very up and Wes
	seems glad to be home... but throughout the scene, we
	should get the first subtle indications that all is not
	well with Wesley... he may be smiling and saying all
	the right things, but his smile is just a little
	forced... his good cheer a little hollow. The door
	CHIMES.

					WESLEY
			Come in.

	GEORDI and DATA ENTER.

					GEORDI
			Is there a runaway cadet in here?

					DATA
			If so, we may have to call
			security.

					GEORDI
			Welcome back, Wes.

					WESLEY
			Thanks.

	Wesley's response is perfunctory at best and he gives
	them a polite smile.

					DATA
			I was, of course, not serious
			about calling security. It was a
			joke.

					WESLEY
			I got it, Data.

	Geordi picks up on the distance Wesley is keeping them
	at and he struggles for meaningless small talk.

					GEORDI
			So... how's life at the Academy?

					WESLEY
			Great... just great.
				(beat)
			But it's... good to have a break.

      STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - TEASER      3.

2    CONTINUED: (2)

					GEORDI
			So do you plan on just lounging
			around while we have work to do?

					WESLEY
			I'm... sure I can find some time
			to help, sir.

	Geordi laughs a little at the serious look on Wesley's
	face and then puts a friendly hand on his shoulder.

					GEORDI
			Enjoy your time off, you've earned
			it.

					WESLEY
			Thanks.

					BEVERLY
			Well... I think we better let him
			settle in.

					GEORDI
			Good idea. Don't sleep your whole
			vacation away, Wes.

      STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - TEASER      4.

2    CONTINUED: (3)

					DATA
			Good-bye.

					WESLEY
			See you later.

	Data and Geordi EXIT. Beverly gives her son a long hug
	for a moment.

					BEVERLY
			It's really good to have you home,
			Wesley. Really.

					WESLEY
			Thanks, Mom.

	Beverly EXITS. Wes moves back to his suitcase and
	takes out a shirt... then pauses and sits down on the
	bed. He looks around the room for a moment... there is
	no joy in his face, no sense of warm nostalgia or
	relief at being home... just the look of young man
	who's profoundly unhappy... and doesn't even know why.
	OFF his expression...

									FADE OUT.

3    INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE

	PICARD is setting a teapot on the table where a small
	tea service has been laid out. There is also a plate
	of small sandwiches, and a tray of odd-looking
	crackers. Riker ENTERS.

					RIKER
			Admiral Necheyev's just beamed
			aboard. Worf's escorting her up
			here now.

					PICARD
			Good.

	Picard makes a few adjustments to the tea service as
	Riker looks on.

					RIKER
			Earl Grey Tea... watercress
			sandwiches... Bularian canapes...
			Are you up for a promotion?

					PICARD
			I'm trying to establish a new
			relationship with the Admiral.
			There's been a certain amount
			of... tension between us in the
			past.

					RIKER
			Tension's not the word I would
			use...

					PICARD
			I'd like to get things started on
			a better note this time. I want
			to make her feel at ease... that
			she's welcome aboard the
			Enterprise...

					RIKER
				(innocent)
			I don't know why she wouldn't feel
			welcome here.

	Picard gives him a dry look.

        STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT ONE        6.

3    CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			We don't have to like her Wil, we
			simply have to follow her orders.
			However, maintaining an atmosphere
			of confrontation serves no
			purpose.

	The doors now OPEN and WORF and ADMIRAL NECHEYEV ENTER.
	Necheyev is carrying a PADD.

					WORF
			Admiral Necheyev, sir.

	Picard smiles warmly and moves to shake her hand.

					PICARD
				(warm)
			Admiral, welcome aboard the
			Enterprise.

	But Necheyev is as brusque as ever.

					NECHEYEV
			Thank you.
				(to Worf & Riker)
			You two may leave.

	Worf bristles slightly, but Riker simply smiles at her.

					RIKER
			Thank you, Admiral.

	Riker gives Picard a big smile... "you've got your work
	cut out for you."

					RIKER
			Captain...

	Riker and Worf EXIT. Picard tries gamely to play the
	gracious host.

					PICARD
			Admiral, may I offer you some --

	But Necheyev is all business... she moves past Picard
	and heads for the table without even hearing him.

					NECHEYEV
				(brusque)
			I'll come right to the point,
			Captain. A situation has
			developed on the Cardassian border
			that...

        STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT ONE        7.

3    CONTINUED: (2)

	She trails off as she catches sight of the food and
	drink on the table.

					NECHEYEV
			Are those... Bularian canapes?

					PICARD
			Yes, as a matter of fact. I took
			the liberty of speaking to your
			aide, Commander Wrightwell... he
			said you were quite fond of them.

	Necheyev suddenly realizes the effort that Picard has
	gone to here... she reins in her instinctive "cut to
	the chase" attitude with Picard... tries to match his
	gesture with a certain amount of graciousness. But it
	isn't easy -- for either of them, and there is still a
	trace of tension between these two officers as they try
	to remain civil to each other throughout the scene.

					NECHEYEV
			That was very... thoughtful,
			Captain. Thank you.

	She sits down and takes one of the canapes. Picard
	pours them both some tea.

					PICARD
			You were saying something about
			the Cardassians I believe...

					NECHEYEV
			Yes. The Federation has just
			completed a very long and
			difficult series of negotiations
			regarding the final status of our
			border with the Cardassians.

	Necheyev hands Picard the PADD she brought in.

					NECHEYEV
				(continuing)
			These will be the official
			boundaries... you'll notice that
			a demilitarized zone has also been
			created along the border. Neither
			side will be permitted to place
			military outposts, conduct fleet
			exercises, or station warships
			anywhere in the demilitarized
			area.

        STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT ONE        8.

3    CONTINUED: (3)

					PICARD
				(off PADD)
			This border will put several
			Federation colonies in Cardassian
			territory... and some Cardassian
			colonies in ours.

	Necheyev sips some tea... she's not completely happy
	with this agreement.

					NECHEYEV
			The agreement is by no means
			perfect... neither side got
			everything they wanted... but
			everyone got something. And as
			someone once said, diplomacy is
			the art of the possible.
				(beat)
			Those colonies finding themselves
			on the wrong side of the border
			will have to be moved.

	Picard doesn't like the sound of that.

					PICARD
			The colonists are not going to be
			very happy about that... some of
			them have been there for decades.

					NECHEYEV
			It won't be easy... but it is a
			reasonable price to pay for peace.
				(beat)
			Your mission is to evacuate the
			colony on Dorvan Five.

					PICARD
			Dorvan Five... that's where the
			group of North American Indians
			has settled, isn't it?

					NECHEYEV
			Yes. They've been there for about
			twenty years... they've
			established a village in a small
			valley on the southern continent.

        STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/93 - ACT ONE        9.

3    CONTINUED: (4)

	Picard sits back in his chair... very disturbed by
	this. Necheyev is vaguely irritated -- she doesn't
	respond well to resistance from her subordinates, but
	she holds her tongue and gives him a polite smile.

					NECHEYEV
			Is there something wrong?

					PICARD
				(continuing)
			Admiral... centuries ago, the
			North American Indians were
			forcibly displaced from their
			ancestral lands. This group on
			Dorvan Five originally left Earth
			two hundred years ago because they
			wanted to preserve their cultural
			identities.

					NECHEYEV
				(dry)
			I am aware of that Captain...

					PICARD
			There are certain... disturbing
			historical parallels here. Once
			again, these people are being
			asked to leave their homes because
			of political decisions made by a
			distant government.

	Necheyev nearly gives him a tart reply, but instead,
	she takes a sip of her tea... trying to maintain the
	civil atmosphere.

					NECHEYEV
			An Indian representative was
			included in the deliberations of
			the Federation Council. His
			objections were noted,
			discussed... but ultimately
			rejected.

	Necheyev leans forward, trying to make Picard see the
	validity of her position... trying to make him
	understand.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/93 - ACT ONE       9A.

3    CONTINUED: (5)

					NECHEYEV
				(continuing)
			Captain, the Indians colonized
			Dorvan only twenty years ago...
			and at that time they were warned
			the planet was hotly disputed by
			the Cardassians. The bottom line
			is... they never should have
			settled there in the first place.

					PICARD
			Then perhaps we should not have
			allowed them to settle the planet
			originally. But to go to them
			twenty years later and ask them to
			leave what is now their home...

	Necheyev sits back in her chair and regards him for a
	moment... her expression is weary... tired.

					NECHEYEV
			I made the same argument to the
			Federation Council. But it took
			three years to negotiate this
			treaty... some concessions had to
			be made... and this is one of
			them.

	Picard takes a moment... realizes the futility of
	further argument.

					PICARD
			What if the Indians should...
			refuse to evacuate?

	Necheyev sets down her tea... gives him a direct look.

					NECHEYEV
				(quiet)
			Then your orders are to remove
			them... by any means necessary.

	That grim order hangs in the air for a moment.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT ONE       9B.

3    CONTINUED: (6)

					NECHEYEV
				(continuing)
			I understand your... moral
			objections, Captain. If you
			wish... I can find someone else to
			command the Enterprise for this
			mission.

					PICARD
			No. That won't be necessary.

	Necheyev nods and then she stands. Picard stands as
	well.

					NECHEYEV
			I don't envy you this task... but
			I do believe it is for the greater
			good.

					PICARD
			I understand.

	Necheyev turns to go, then pauses at the door.

					NECHEYEV
			And... thank you for...
				(beat, looks down at the
				 food & tea)
			... making me feel welcome.

					PICARD
			You are always welcome on this
			ship, Admiral.

	A look between two former adversaries possibly on the
	road to a new relationship... and then Necheyev EXITS.

	The ship goes into warp.

5    INT. WESLEY'S QUARTERS

	Wesley is sound asleep in bed. His things are
	scattered across the floor -- not the neat and tidy
	room one would expect from a Starfleet Cadet. The door
	CHIMES. Wes groans and rolls over, trying to ignore
	it. The door CHIMES again. Wesley finally sits up in
	irritation.

					WESLEY
				(annoyed)
			Come in.

	The doors OPEN and Picard ENTERS. He's surprised to
	see Wesley still in bed.

					PICARD
			Oh. I'm sorry to disturb you,
			Mister Crusher. I assumed you
			would be up at this hour. I could
			come back later.

	Wesley drags himself out of bed and puts on a robe. He
	makes a feeble effort to perk up for the Captain.

					WESLEY
			No... no, sir. I... must have
			overslept. Come in.

	Picard comes in as Wesley goes to the replicator.

					WESLEY
				(continuing, to
				 replicator)
			Coffee, black.

	We HEAR the sound of the replicator. Wesley seems to
	remember something.

					WESLEY
				(continuing, to Picard)
			Oh. Uh, can I get something for
			you, sir?

					PICARD
			No, that's quite all right. This
			was my first chance to welcome you
			back.

	Wesley takes a sip from the steaming mug.

					WESLEY
			Thank you. I appreciate that.

	There is an awkward beat. The usual warm and familiar
	dynamic between them is noticeably absent.

     STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT ONE     11.

5    CONTINUED:

	Wesley never quite meets Picard's gaze... he's
	withdrawn and evasive. He really doesn't want to be
	here and he doesn't particularly want to talk to the
	Captain -- he just wants to be left alone. Picard
	feels progressively more uncomfortable.

					PICARD
			So... how's Boothby?

	Wesley shrugs.

					WESLEY
			Fine, I guess.

					PICARD
			You guess?

					WESLEY
			I haven't seen him in a while.
				(beat)
			To be honest, sir... Boothby was
			starting to get on my nerves a
			little bit.
					(MORE)

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT ONE       12.

5    CONTINUED: (2)

					WESLEY (Cont'd)
			He always seemed to have an
			opinion about everything.
				(then tries to
				 backtrack)
			I mean, I know he's a very...
			insightful... intelligent man...

	Picard's had about enough of this... he can see that
	something's going on with Wesley and that continued
	conversation will only make it worse.

					PICARD
			But you'd had enough of his
			insights.

					WESLEY
			That's not quite what I meant,
			sir.

	Picard decides not to pursue this any longer.

					PICARD
			Well, as I said, welcome back,
			Mister Crusher. I hope you enjoy
			your vacation. That's really all
			I came here to say.

	Picard turns and EXITS. Wesley feels instantly bad...
	he didn't mean to rude... and now it's too late. He
	sits down in frustration.

									CUT TO:

6    INT. MAIN ENGINEERING

	Geordi is working at the pool table as Wesley ENTERS
	wearing civilian clothes.

					GEORDI
			Wes -- there you are. You've got
			to take a look at this.

	Geordi moves over to the warp core chamber. He opens
	a panel on the bulkhead.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT ONE       13.

6    CONTINUED:

					GEORDI
			Remember how we always talked
			about improving the quantum
			efficiency by creating a new
			plasma-dyne relay? Well, feast
			your eyes on this.

	Wesley looks inside the panel -- there's a pulsing
	conduit inside. Wesley looks unimpressed -- his
	attitude is condescending, almost arrogant. The
	subtext here is that Wesley is angry and frustrated
	about something and he's taking those feelings out on
	Geordi.

					WESLEY
				(dismissive)
			You've only got one micro-fusion
			inter-relay in here... the
			converter interface will never
			hold up.

					GEORDI
			Hey, I ran the diagnostics myself.
			This little baby will withstand
			over five hundred Cochranes of
			warp field stress.

					WESLEY
			I don't think so. You better put
			a secondary phase inverter in
			there.
				(beat, pokes around in
				 panel)
			In fact, this entire subprocessor
			matrix needs an overhaul.

	Geordi shuts the panel... he's definitely getting
	irritated at this point.

					GEORDI
			Well, I guess we can't have all
			the fancy new equipment they give
			you kids at the Academy. We have
			to make do with what we've got.

	Wesley reacts with irritation, as if talking to a slow
	pupil who just doesn't get it.

     STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT ONE     14.

6    CONTINUED: (2)

					WESLEY
			Read the latest paper by Doctor
			Vassbinder... he has some
			brilliant new theories on warp
			propulsion inter-relays.

9    INT. MEETING ROOM

	A large room, which in contrast to the rest of the
	village is almost completely 24th century in design and
	in building materials. There is a large, broad table
	with chairs, but no other furniture. Seated on one
	side of the table are five leaders of the Indian Tribal
	Council -- each of them wearing distinctive
	accoutrements which indicate their respective tribes,
	but all in essentially modern dress. On the other side
	of the table are seated Picard and Troi. The
	atmosphere is cordial, but a little stiff. There are
	several PADDS on the table.

	Picard is speaking to ANTHWARA -- the Leader of the
	Tribal Council.

					PICARD
			Anthwara... I am afraid there is
			very little I can do. The
			decision regarding this planet was
			made at the highest levels of the
			Federation.

     STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT TWO     18.

9    CONTINUED:

					WAKASA
			A decision that was made over our
			explicit objections.

					PICARD
			I must point out that when you
			first came to this world, you were
			warned that it was the subject of
			a dispute between the Federation
			and the Cardassians. You were
			asked not to settle here.

					WAKASA
				(with an edge)
			Do you know how long we have
			searched for a home? Almost two
			hundred years. Then we found this
			world... Can you blame us for not
			wanting to give it up?

					PICARD
			I understand and respect the long
			journey of your people. But I
			believe we can help you find a new
			home.

	Troi picks up the PADD in front of her and Picard.

					TROI
			As you can see, there are three
			other planets in this sector that
			have environmental conditions
			similar to those here on Dorvan
			Five. They are all uninhabited...
			and could be colonized
			immediately.

					PICARD
			And if those worlds don't meet
			with your approval, then we'll
			find you other choices.

	The Tribal leaders look over their PADDS for a moment,
	then put them aside. Anthwara gets up... moves about
	for a moment... this is not an easy conversation for
	him either.

					ANTHARWA
			You don't understand... the choice
			of this world was not limited
			to... "environmental conditions."
			There were other... more
			intangible concerns as well.
				(beat)
			My people have always had an...
			intimate bond with nature. We
			think of ourselves as being a part
			of it... and it being a part of
			us. One of the reasons our
			ancestors left Earth two hundred
			years ago was because that bond
			had been severed.

					WAKASA
				(with contempt)
			They began to control the weather.

					ANTHWARA
			We believe -- very strongly --
			that nature should not be "fixed"
			or controlled. Droughts and
			floods... tornadoes and
			hurricanes... these are natural
			events. By putting man above
			nature... an imbalance was
			created. We could no longer live
			in harmony with our environment.

					PICARD
			I can assure you that we will not
			impose a weather control system or
			anything else on your people.
			Whatever world you choose to
			colonize will be completely yours
			to do with as you please.

					ANTHWARA
			Captain, once the bond between us
			and Earth had been broken, we had
			to find a planet where we could
			establish a new bond... a planet
			that would welcome us. When I
			came here twenty years ago, I was
			welcomed by the mountains... the
			rivers... the sky.

					WAKASA
				(to Anthwara, re:
				 Picard)
			He's laughing at you, Anthwara.
			He thinks you're talking about old
			superstition and nonsense.

					PICARD
			That's not true. I have a great
			deal of respect for your beliefs
			and the meaning they hold for your
			people.

					ANTHWARA
			Then you should respect the fact
			that this planet holds a deeply
			spiritual significance for us. It
			took us two centuries to find a
			place where the mountains gave us
			permission to use their stone for
			our houses... where the rivers let
			us drink from their waters... and
			where the wind sang to us at
			night.
				(beat)
			We don't want to spend another two
			hundred years searching for what
			we already have.

	Picard sits back for a moment... this is going nowhere
	fast. Troi senses that further discussion will not
	help.

					TROI
			Captain, may I suggest that we
			adjourn for now... allow us all
			time to think about what's been
			said.

	Picard looks to Anthwara, who nods after a beat.

			Agreed. We will reconvene
			tomorrow.

					PICARD
			In the meantime, I would like to

					WESLEY
			Well, then that's my business
			isn't it? I don't need you
			telling me how to behave.

					BEVERLY
			I shouldn't have to -- you're a

			You're expected to have a certain

	Wesley gets up, his eyes flash in anger.

					WESLEY
			Maybe I'm sick of living up to

			maybe I'm sick of following rules
			and regulations... did you ever
			think about that?

15   PICARD AND ANTHWARA

	Are carrying drinks over to the window. Picard is
	using this social gathering as an opportunity to
	explore other solutions with Anthwara. Midconversation.

					PICARD
			... so I've been trying to
			familiarize myself with the
			history and traditions of your
			people. I was quite interested to
			learn that it was your grandfather --
			Katowa -- who led the group of
			Indians who initially left Earth
			two centuries ago.

					ANTHWARA
				(with affection)
			He was a... great man. When I was
			a little boy, I was so proud to
			know that he was my grandfather.
			In fact, I think I was a little
			too proud of it... I remember the
			other children getting tired of
			hearing me talk about him.

					PICARD
			It must have been a very difficult
			decision for your grandfather to
			make... uprooting your people...
			leading them into the unknown for
			an undetermined amount of time...
			not even knowing if you ever would
			find a new home.

					ANTHWARA
			There was great deal of
			opposition. Even my own father
			was against it... but when Katowa
			made his decision -- that was it.
			My father never said another word.

	Picard pauses for a moment, and they both sip their
	drinks for a second.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT TWO       25.

15   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
				(quiet)
			It's never easy to leave one's
			home... to give up the safe and
			familiar. But there are times
			when the greater good demands that
			sacrifices be made... I'm sure
			your grandfather knew that.

	Anthwara looks out at the stars for a moment.

					ANTHWARA
				(quiet)
			His grandson does too. But there
			are also times when a people have
			sacrificed too much... when they
			must hold on to what they have...
			even if it means standing up
			against overwhelming opposition.

	A quiet beat and then Anthwara turns to Picard and
	moves the conversation onto a new subject.

					ANTHWARA
			What do you know about your
			family, Captain?

					PICARD
			A great deal actually. My father
			was a strong believer in passing
			along the family history and
			traditions.

					ANTHWARA
			Tell me about your family. We
			have very strong ties to our
			ancestors... we believe their
			actions guide us even now.
			Knowing more about your family
			might help me to better understand
			you.
				(smiles)
			Besides, it's always a good idea
			to understand your opponent in any
			negotiation.

			of Charlemagne.

				(to Beverly, quiet)
			Sorry I'm late.

					BEVERLY
			We'll talk about that later.

	Beverly continues on her way and joins Troi and Lakanta
	in a conversation at the bar. Wesley grabs a drink
	from a waiter's tray and tries to find an out of the

	moment.

					WESLEY
			I'm... not sure what you mean.

	Lakanta sits down next to Wesley.

					LAKANTA
			Two years ago, I went into the
			Habak and began a vision quest.
			While I was there, I saw many
			things... talked to many animals
			and spirits... and I saw you.

	Wesley isn't sure what he's dealing with here and he
	tries to make sense of it all.

					LAKANTA
				(continuing)
			There're many things you don't
			understand yet... but you will.

					WESLEY
			I don't mean to be rude, but I
			wish you'd stop talking about me
			in the future tense.

	But Lakanta is not fazed in the least by Wesley's
	prickliness.

					LAKANTA
			I know your spirit's troubled,
			Wesley. That's why you've come to
			us. We can help you find the
			answers you seek.

19   INT. PICARD'S QUARTERS

	Beverly is on her feet, moving about the room,
	obviously very upset and concerned. Picard listens
	patiently, trying to help.

					BEVERLY
			I just don't know what to do, Jean-Luc.
			It's as if someone took my
			son away and left this stranger in
			his place.

					PICARD
			In a sense, that's exactly what's
			happened. Wesley left here three
			years ago as a boy... but now he's
			a young man. That can't be an
			easy transition for a mother... or
			a son.

					BEVERLY
			Well, it's gone beyond just the
			two of us...

					PICARD
			I heard about the incident with
			Geordi.

					BEVERLY
			Have you heard about the Academy?
				(off his look)
			I called Admiral Brand this
			afternoon. She said his grades
			are falling... he's becoming
			remote, defensive... if he's not
			careful, he'll wash out next term.

	Beverly sits down with a sense of helplessness and

			I don't mean to make light of that
			by any means... but I must say

					PICARD (CONT'D)
				(off her look)
			Oh, yes. I nearly washed out my
			sophomore year... there were a lot
			of different factors... my
			father's death... a teenage love
			affair with the wrong girl... the
			point is, I realized what was
			happening to me and I pulled
			myself out of it. I'm sure Wesley
			will do the same.

					BEVERLY
			Jean-Luc... will you have a talk
			with him? Maybe this is the kind
			of thing a boy -- a young man has
			to discuss with another man.

	Picard considers this for a moment.

					PICARD
				(gently)
			I don't think he wants either of
			us to talk to him right now.

					BEVERLY
			But he needs help.

					PICARD
			Perhaps. But he has to want that
			help. If he doesn't, then any
			effort on our part might only push
			him further away.

	Beverly looks like she wants to object, but Picard
	presses on.

					PICARD
				(continuing)
			Let him work this out on his own,

			Since you beamed down.

			Well, I'm here. What am I

					LAKANTA
			Yes. But the answers will be to
			your questions.

					WESLEY
				(frustrated)
			What questions? I don't even know
			why I came here.

	Wesley turns to go, but Lakanta's voice stops him.

					LAKANTA
			I told you before your spirit was

			Then perhaps you do have questions

	Wesley thinks about this for a moment... he takes a
	deep breath... decides to put aside his frustrations
	for the moment and see where this leads.

					WESLEY
			Tell me about this... Habak. You
			said you had some kind of a vision
			there?

	Lakanta and Wesley begin to walk through the Village as

			The Habak is a holy place... we
			hold many of our rituals and
			ceremonies there. It's sacred to

			What's sacred to you, Wesley?

					LAKANTA
			Stop.

	They stop.

					LAKANTA
				(continuing)
			Look around us. What do you think
			would be sacred to us here?

	Wesley looks around for a moment... he hesitates.

					WESLEY
			Well... maybe some of the designs
			on the walls... the necklace
			you're wearing... ?

					LAKANTA
			Everything is sacred to us. The
			buildings... the food... the
			sky... the dirt under your
			feet... and you. Whether you
			believe in your own spirit or
			not... we believe in it. So you
			are a sacred person here, Wesley.

	Wesley smiles after a beat... a little embarrassed, but
	intrigued just the same.

					WESLEY
			I think that's the first time

			So if you're sacred... then you

			Is that... what you think I'm
			doing?

			Only you can decide that.

			So we searched for the true reason
			you were sent. We didn't find it
			until last night.

	waiting for Picard to state the reason himself.
	Finally, Anthwara breaks the moment.

					ANTHWARA
				(continuing)
			Are you familiar with the Pueblo
			Revolt of sixteen eighty?

	Picard is surprised by this odd reference... he tries

			I am. Several Indian tribes rose

	stops short as he runs into Worf, who is standing in
	the plaza with Two N.D. Security Guards.

	The security detail is facing away from Picard, toward
	something o.c.

					PICARD
				(surprised)
			Mister Worf... what's going on?

					WORF
			We have... unwelcome visitors.

	Picard follows his look and is surprised to see a group
	of TWO CARDASSIAN TROOPS and ONE CARDASSIAN GUL
	standing in the plaza facing the Enterprise group. OFF
	Picard's concerned expression...

23   EXT. INDIAN VILLAGE - DAY

	Continuous from Act Three. Picard steps forward to
	confront the Cardassians. A large group of Indians
	watch the following.

					PICARD
			I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the
			Enterprise.

	The Gul steps forward. His attitude is blunt and
	hardnosed, but he is not arrogant or obnoxious -- he's
	simply a Cardassian officer sent here to do a job and
	he means to do it.

					GUL EVEK
			I am Gul Evek.
				(re: Indians)
			What are these people still doing
			here? The evacuation should be
			well underway by now.

	Picard glances around at the Indians -- he doesn't want
	to have this particular discussion out here in public.

					PICARD
			May I have a word with you...
			alone?

					GUL EVEK
				(annoyed)
			As you wish.
				(to his men)
			Wait here.

	Picard and Gul Evek move off to one side for a private
	conversation as the two sets of security people eye
	each other suspiciously. Picard is eager to avoid a
	confrontation with this man, but he wants to prevent
	events from spiraling out of control.

					PICARD
				(quiet)
			It was my understanding that there
			would be no Cardassian presence on
			this world for another six weeks.
			Your arrival here may upset some
			very... delicate negotiations.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT FOUR       40.

23   CONTINUED:

					GUL EVEK
			Negotiations? The status of this
			planet has been settled... what
			are you negotiating?

					PICARD
			I would be happy to explain it to
			you... but for now, I must ask
			that you and your men leave...
			immediately.

					GUL EVEK
			We were sent here to make a
			preliminary survey of the
			buildings and equipment being left
			behind. I have no intention of
			leaving until our mission is
			complete.

	Picard can see that Evek is unmovable on this point...
	it's frustrating, but he has very little choice.

					PICARD
			Very well... complete your
			mission...
				(his voice hardens)
			But, this is still Federation
			territory, Gul Evek... until that
			changes, this world is under my
			jurisdiction... and I will
			protect it.

					GUL EVEK
			Is that a threat?

					PICARD
			It is a fact... and I suggest you
			keep it in mind as you conduct
			your... survey.

	Picard heads back toward Worf and Gul Evek is left with
	something to think about.

24   INT. HABAK - DAY

	The Habak is a ceremonial chamber of great importance
	to the Indians. The Habak is located in a high tower
	and the only way in is through a ladder leading from a
	hole in the floor. The room itself is rectangular.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT FOUR       41.

24   CONTINUED:

	Another ladder leads to a hole in the ceiling and
	sunlight pours in from this hole.

	There is a firepit in the center of the room and there
	is a ledge to sit on running along one wall.

	The walls have been decorated with colorful sacred wall
	hangings -- again, the images should reflect the
	mixture of old and new. These Indians readily
	incorporate elements of their 24th century lives
	alongside their reverence for the past. For instance,
	there are traditional drawings of Earth animals that
	fit comfortably alongside drawings of starships and
	other planets.

	Lakanta has just climbed up the ladder and Wesley is
	following him. Wesley reaches the top and looks around
	for a moment.

					LAKANTA
			This is the Habak... the focal
			point of our lives.

	Wesley is quiet... respectful... even a touch awed at
	being here.

					LAKANTA
				(continuing)
			Strangers are not welcome here...

					WESLEY
				(surprised)
			Wait a minute. When I asked to
			come here, you said it would be --

					LAKANTA
			You are not a stranger. I told
			you, I've seen you here before.

	Wesley moves around the Habak for a moment... curious
	about the place and the symbology he sees.

       STAR TREK: "Journey's End" 01/20/94 - ACT FOUR       42.

24   CONTINUED: (2)

	Wesley notices a ledge with several DOLLS sitting on
	it.

					WESLEY
			What are those?

					LAKANTA
			They are Mansara... dolls
			representing different spirits who
			come to this place.

	Wesley looks at them in curiosity... he is surprised to
	see a doll which looks very familiar.

					WESLEY
			This one looks like... a Klingon.

					LAKANTA
			Yes. Our culture is rooted in the
			past, but it is not limited to the
			past. The spirits of Klingons,
			Vulcans, Ferengi come to us just
			as the bear, the coyote, the
			parrot. There is no difference.

	Lakanta now moves to a spot on the floor. He picks up
	a basket of CORNMEAL and begins to pour it on the
	ground in an intricate pattern. Wesley stands there
	for a moment, unsure what to do.

					WESLEY
			What... should I do?

					LAKANTA
			Start the fire... then sit... and
			wait.

					WESLEY
			What am I waiting for?

					LAKANTA
			This is your journey, Wesley. I
			can open the door for you, but
			only you can go through it.

	Lakanta concentrates on the cornmeal again. Wesley
	takes a deep breath, then moves to the firepit and
	begins placing wood and coals in it.

25   INT. READY ROOM (OPTICAL)

	Picard is talking to Necheyev on the monitor. Riker
	sits nearby. Mid-conversation.

					NECHEYEV
			Is there any indication that the
			Tribal Council will change their
			position in the near future?

					PICARD
			No, sir.

	Necheyev sits back in her chair... reluctant, but
	knowing what she must do.

					NECHEYEV
			Then I see no other choice...

					PICARD
			Admiral, I have every reason to
			believe that these people will
			resist any attempt to remove them.
			I strongly urge you to request an
			emergency session of the
			Federation Council. The issue of
			Dorvan Five must be reopened.

					NECHEYEV
				(quiet)
			Captain... I made that request two
			days ago. The answer was no.

	Riker and Picard exchange a glance... that was their
	last hope.

					NECHEYEV
				(continuing)
			I'm sorry... but you have your
			orders. Starfleet out.

	The transmission ENDS.

					RIKER
			So much for a reprieve from
			Starfleet.

	Picard gets to his feet and looks out the window for a
	moment. A long quiet beat passes as Picard watches the
	stars.

					PICARD
			Anthwara believes that I am

					RIKER
			Do you believe that?

					PICARD
			No, of course not. I respect
			their beliefs... but that can't
			have any bearing on our mission.
				(beat)
			But at the same time... I wonder
			if a dark chapter in my family
			history is about to repeat itself.
				(off Riker's look)
			If these people take up arms

	A long quiet beat... then Picard seems to steel himself
	and he hits his combadge.

					PICARD
				(to com)
			Picard to Worf. Will you come in
			here for a moment?

					WORF'S COM VOICE
			Aye, sir.

	Picard moves back to sit behind his desk... a mask of
	duty and obligation covering his feelings. Worf
	ENTERS.

					PICARD
			Mister Worf... begin preparations
			to remove the inhabitants from
			Dorvan Five.

					WORF
			Aye, sir.

	Riker stands... and then EXITS with Worf.

	Several hours later. The firepit is glowing with
	embers which cast strange shadows on the walls and
	ceiling... smoke is filling the room and there is a
	moody feel to this place. Wesley is still sitting on
	the floor across from Lakanta.

27   WESLEY

	Is showing some signs of strain and fatigue... his
	eyelids keep threatening to close... a layer of sweat
	is covering his entire body... he's on the verge of
	falling over from exhaustion. His eyes close for a
	moment... he opens then with difficulty -- and then
	they widen in surprise at something he sees.

28   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Revealing that Lakanta is gone. Suddenly Wesley HEARS
	a man's voice calling to him as if from a great
	distance...

			Wesley... Wesley...

	Wesley turns to look through the dense smoke...

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/26/94 - ACT FOUR        46.

29   EXT. INDIAN VILLAGE - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS

	The smoke in the Habak suddenly dissipates and Wesley
	finds himself standing in the Village... all trace of
	sweat on his face now gone... his fatigue has vanished.
	The Village now appears to be a strange, surreal
	place... there are several Indians scattered throughout
	the plaza... some on different levels... and all
	wearing Mansara masks and costumes... no human faces to
	be seen... a BONFIRE is burning brightly in the center
	of the plaza and it throws weird shadows and light over
	the scene.

	Wesley walks through this bizarre scene as if in a
	dream...

					JACK'S VOICE
			Wesley...

	Wesley looks around to see where the voice is coming
	from... he finally can see that there is a MAN standing
	on the opposite side of the roaring fire, but we can't
	make out his face. Wesley begins to walk around the
	fire, and the man moves toward him as well. As they
	both come around the blaze, we can now see that the man
	is JACK CRUSHER -- Wesley's father. Wes stops in
	shock.

					WESLEY
			Dad...

	Jack looks at him with a calm and kind expression... as
	if it were perfectly natural for him to appear in this
	setting and talk to his son.

					JACK
			You've reached the end, Wesley.

					WESLEY
			The end... the end of what?

					JACK
			This journey. The one you started
			a long time ago... when I left you
			and your mother.

					WESLEY
			You mean... when you died.

					JACK
			You set out on a journey that
			wasn't your own. Now it's time to
			find the path that is truly yours.
			Don't follow me any further.

			Yes, you do. It's just hard for

			Good-bye, Wesley. Good luck.

					WESLEY
			Dad -- wait!

31   NEW ANGLE

	But it's too late -- Jack steps into the shadows and
	he's gone. Wesley takes a step to follow him and
	then...

32   INT. HABAK - DAY - CONTINUOUS

	Wesley is sitting on the floor of the Habak again, his
	eyes closed as he experiences his vision. He opens
	them slowly to see Lakanta is gone and the fire is out.
	How much time has passed? Wesley blinks a few times,
	trying to readjust to the here and now. He pauses for
	a moment... then gets up and moves to the ladder.

									CUT TO:

33   EXT. INDIAN VILLAGE - DAY

	Wesley walks through the village... his mind swirling
	with images... sounds... the message from his dead
	father.

	He is in a very passionate... a very vulnerable state
	when he nearly bumps into Worf, who is directing two
	N.D. Security Guards and carrying a tricorder.

					WORF
				(concerned)
			Mister Crusher... Are you all
			right?

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/21/94 - ACT FOUR        48.

33   CONTINUED:

					WESLEY
			Yeah... I'm fine, Worf...

	Worf turns to one of the N.D.S.

					WORF
				(quiet, to N.D.)
			Lay out a confinement beam trace
			along the Southwestern edge of the
			village. Be discreet -- we do not
			wish to alarm the population.

	The N.D. nods and moves off. Wesley frowns for a
	moment.

					WESLEY
			What are you doing?

	Worf glances around and then lowers his voice.

					WORF
			We are laying out Transporter
			coordinates for a security
			perimeter. It may become
			necessary to remove these people
			by force.

	Wesley reacts with shock... this was the last thing on
	his mind and it brings up a swirl of emotions. Wesley
	suddenly sees something o.c.

33A  WESLEY'S POV

	A man is standing on one of the upper levels, wearing
	a Mansara mask and costume as seen in Wesley's vision.
	No one else notices him and the man stands stock still,
	looking down at Wesley.

	Wesley is coming to a decision as Worf works his

	do something.

					WESLEY
			Worf... we can't do this. These
			people deserve better than to be
			taken from their homes...

33I  WESLEY'S POV (FORMERLY SCENE 33E)

	Lakanta is standing in the crowd, staring at him.

	Lakanta is gone.

33L  RESUME WORF AND WESLEY

	Worf looks up. They've caught the attention of a
	couple of passing Indians.

					WORF
			I understand. But this is not the
			time or the place to --

	But Wesley isn't listening. He's made his choice. He
	turns to the villagers and calls out in a loud and
	outraged voice.

					WESLEY
				(to villagers)
			Do you know what they're doing?
			They're preparing to beam you away --
			to take you to their ship! You're
			not going to just let them do
			that, are you?

	This causes a stir among the villagers. More Indians
	begin to move in their direction, glaring at Worf and
	the other Starfleet officers. Wakasa is among then,
	and he pushes to the front of the crowd.

					WAKASA
			No, we won't.
				(to Worf)
			Leave. Now.

	Worf and the other N.D.S. are confronted with a large,
	hostile crowd. Wesley is standing with the Indians,
	against his former shipmates. OFF Worf's tense
	reaction...

34   INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE

	A fuming Picard is pacing back and forth in front of
	Wesley who is seated at the table.

					PICARD
				(furious)
			Inexcusable. You defied the
			orders of the ranking officer on
			the scene... put the entire Away
			Team in jeopardy... and made an
			already tense situation worse.
			Your actions reflect poorly on
			this ship and on that uniform. I
			want an explanation Mister
			Crusher, and I want it now.

	But this time, there is no repentance from Wesley... no
	sign of the boy feeling the wrath of his father figure.
	He keeps his voice level and steady, he's not being a
	petulant adolescent or a rebellious teenager. This is
	a different Wesley Crusher -- he's confident of his
	position and unafraid of the consequences.

					WESLEY
				(steady)
			What you're doing down there is
			wrong.

	Picard is so surprised at both the statement and
	Wesley's rock steady attitude, that for a moment he is
	caught off-stride and speechless.

					WESLEY
			Captain, these people aren't just
			some random group of colonists...
			they're a unique culture... one
			that predates the Federation and
			Starfleet...

					PICARD
				(interrupting)
			That does not change the fact that
			my orders are to --

			But I will tell you this -- while

			Is that clear?

	Wesley stands up... looks at Picard calmly for a long
	beat.

					WESLEY
			Yes, it is.
				(beat)
			But I'm not going to wear this
			uniform anymore. I'm resigning
			from the Academy.

	Wes takes off his combadge and puts it on the table.
	He holds Picard's surprised gaze for another moment,
	and then EXITS. Picard looks after him for a moment...
	then picks up the combadge and examines it for a beat.

			I may not be able to stop you from

	He tries to take some of the confrontation out of his
	voice, but it's not easy.

					BEVERLY
			You... what?

					WESLEY
			I... was participating in an

			And in it... Dad came to me. He

					WESLEY
			It's more than that... I think
			I've known this was the right
			thing to do for a long time... I
			just couldn't admit it to myself.

	Beverly thinks about this for a moment... she's trying
	desperately to understand, but it's not easy. She sits
	down on the bed.

					BEVERLY
			But you always said being at the
			Academy was... the best thing that
			ever happened to you.

	These are difficult things for Wesley to admit... but
	if there's anyone he can share them with, it's Beverly.

					WESLEY
			I know. And for a while it was.
			But as time went on... and
			graduation got closer... I started
			feeling... depressed. I thought
			it would go away... but it only
			got worse.

					BEVERLY
			Why didn't you ever say anything?

					WESLEY
			I guess I didn't want to
			disappoint you... or Captain
			Picard... or my friends. You were
			all so... proud of me.

					BEVERLY
			I'd be proud of you regardless of
			what you were doing, Wes. I love
			you no matter what.

	The bond between the two of them is still there and for

			I just never questioned the fact

			But when Dad said not to follow

	Beverly takes moment to let this sink in.

					BEVERLY
			Maybe it's partly my fault... I
			never realized the kind of
			pressure we all must've put on
			you... to be exactly what we
			expected you to be...

					WESLEY
			I don't blame you, Mom. It was my
			decision -- it always has been.

	There is a moment between them as they look at each
	other that re-establishes the bond they've always
	had... and now maybe it's even a little stronger.

					BEVERLY
			You remember the alien from Tau
			Ceti who could control warp fields
			with his mind... ?

					WESLEY
				(nods)
			The Traveller.

			Well, for the time being... I'm

					BEVERLY
			Wes... you realize they won't be

					WESLEY
			I know. But I have to go back...

	Wakasa, whose attention is focused on something o.c.

					WAKASA
			You shouldn't be here, Wesley.

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT FIVE        56.

36   CONTINUED:

					WESLEY
			Why?

	But Wasaka's attention is elsewhere and he silently
	pulls a phaser out of his belt and walks away.

	Revealing that there is a tense situation building in
	the plaza: One of the Cardassian Troopers seen earlier
	is being pulled from an alleyway by Two Indians. The
	Indians have taken his disruptor from him.

37   ANGLE ON BUILDING

	Wesley watches with concern as the other Cardassian
	Trooper is brought out of a building under the guard of
	Two other Indians. His weapon has also been taken.
	Wakasa directs the Indians to bring the Cardassians
	over to the front of one of the buildings.

					WAKASA
				(to Indians)
			Bring them over here.

	Now Worf and his Security Guards ENTER the plaza and
	react to the sight of the Indians and the Cardassians.
	The Indians have surrounded the Cardassians and they
	are clearly in an ugly mood. Worf and his Guards move
	to intercede. Wesley follows the Starfleet officers,
	but hangs back a little... trying to size up the
	situation and unsure what he can really do about it.

					WORF
				(to Wakasa)
			Why have you taken these men
			prisoner?

					WAKASA
			They were invading our homes...
			violating our privacy... this is
			not their world. They have no
			right to be here.

					WORF
			The terms of the treaty do give
			them the right to... survey this
			planet.

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT FIVE        57.

37   CONTINUED:

					WAKASA
			We don't recognize that treaty.
			We're not going to let the
			Cardassians have Dorvan Five. No
			matter what the cost.

	The crowd mutters support for Wakasa's position and
	they start to direct their anger back toward the
	Federation officers.

					INDIANS
			That's right. We're not leaving.
			Get out of here! Go back to the
			Federation and leave us alone.
			This is our home. You're not
			wanted here. etc.

	Worf can see that this situation is rapidly getting out
	of hand. He takes a couple of steps away and hits his
	combadge.

					WORF
				(sotto, to com)
			Worf to Picard. An armed group of
			Indians has taken two Cardassian
			prisoners. The situation is
			extremely volatile. Request
			instructions.

38   INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE

	Where Picard and Gul Evek are listening to Worf's
	report.

					PICARD
			Stand-by, Mister Worf.
				(urgent, to Evek)
			Have your ship lock-on to your
			people and beam them out of there
			now, before something happens.

					GUL EVEK
				(outraged)
			My people? What about these
			Indians of yours -- they've taken
			hostages. This planet is ours,
			Captain, and we will not be chased
			away by some unruly crowd.
					(MORE)

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT FIVE        58.

38   CONTINUED:

					GUL EVEK (Cont'd)
				(hits combadge)
			Gul Evek to the Vetar.

					CARDASSIAN COM VOICE
			This is Glin Telak aboard the
			Vetar. Go Ahead.

					GUL EVEK
			Two of our men on the surface have
			been taken prisoner. Prepare to
			send an armed squad to rescue them
			and to occupy the village.

	Picard moves closer to him... events are quickly
	escalating out of anyone's control.

					PICARD
			Gul Evek, those people down there
			are Federation citizens and I am
			sworn to protect them. If your
			troops attack the village, my
			security forces will respond...

					GUL EVEK
			I hope you realize the
			consequences of Federation
			officers firing on Cardassian
			troops...

					PICARD
			I do. That's why we need to stop
			this now, before it's too late.

39   EXT. INDIAN VILLAGE - DAY (OPTICAL)

	As before. Worf is trying to reason with Wakasa, but
	the tension level is steadily rising.

					WORF
			I cannot allow you to hold these
			men as prisoners.

					WAKASA
			You have no authority here.

	Suddenly, in the flash of an eye, one of the Cardassian
	troopers takes advantage of the distraction of Worf and
	Wakasa and GRABS a PHASER from one of the Indians. He
	whips it up and FIRES at an Indian.

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT FIVE        59.

39   CONTINUED: (2)

					WESLEY
			I don't understand...

					LAKANTA
			You've found a new beginning for
			yourself... the first steps on a
			journey that few humans will ever
			take.

					WESLEY
			Who are you?

	Lakanta smiles and then suddenly TRANSFORMS into
	another person -- the TRAVELLER.

					WESLEY
				(continuing, shocked)
			The Traveller...

					TRAVELLER
			I've been waiting a long time for
			this moment, Wesley.

					WESLEY
			So my experience in the Habak...
			my vision of my father... the
			things he said to me... those were
			all your doing?

					TRAVELLER
			I merely opened the door for
			you... what you experienced came
			from your own mind... your own
			spirit if you wish.
				(beat)
			I hoped that you would open your
			mind to new possibilities...
				(indicates scene around
				 them)
			And you did. You pulled yourself
			out of time... don't you see?
					(MORE)

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/21/94 - ACT FIVE        60.

39   CONTINUED: (3)

					TRAVELLER (Cont'd)
			You've evolved to a new level...
			you're ready to explore places
			where thought and energy combine
			in ways you cannot even imagine.
			I will be your guide... if you'd
			like.

	Wesley is tempted... then looks back at the strange
	setting of the two groups caught in the moment of
	conflict.

					WESLEY
			What about them? I can't just
			leave them like this.

					TRAVELLER
			They must find their own
			destinies, Wesley. It is not our
			place to interfere.

					WESLEY
				(anguished)
			But...

					TRAVELLER
			Have faith in their abilities to
			solve their problems on their own.

	Wesley is reluctant... but finally he nods. The
	Traveller smiles and then they both walk away -- and as
	they leave our view, TIME RESUMES. The crowd scatters
	as phaser shots rip through the air.

40   INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	Picard and Gul Evek have now moved to the Bridge and
	are standing near the Tactical station. Riker is at
	Tactical with an N.D. Officer, monitoring the situation
	on the planet. The ship is at RED ALERT and there is
	a sense of urgency in the air.

					RIKER
			The Cardassian ship is powering
			its weapons and Transporters.

					CARDASSIAN COM VOICE
			This is the Vetar to Gul Evek.
			Our troops are under attack. They
			are requesting immediate
			assistance. What are your orders?

	Picard steps in to make a final appeal.

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/24/94 - ACT FIVE        61.

40   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			Evek, the last war caused massive
			destruction... took millions of
			lives. Don't send our two peoples
			back down that path... not like
			this. History is in your hands --
			right now. Give us one last
			chance for peace.

	Evek looks at him... Picard holds his gaze and Evek
	tries to fight the instinct building within him to
	fight back.

					CARDASSIAN COM VOICE
			Gul Evek! What are your orders?
			Can we open fire?

	Evek finally hits the combadge.

					GUL EVEK
			Evek to the Vetar... lock on to
			our troops on the surface... and
			beam them aboard.

					CARDASSIAN COM VOICE
			But sir, they have been fired upon
			and --

					GUL EVEK
				(harsh)
			Those are my orders. Carry them
			out.

					CARDASSIAN COM VOICE
			Yes, sir.

					GUL EVEK
			I had three sons, Captain. I lost
			two of them in the war. I don't
			want to lose the last one.

					PICARD
				(to Riker)
			Beam up our Away Team immediately,
			Number One.

					RIKER
			Aye, sir.

	OFF Picard's look of relief...

41   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	The ship in orbit.

42   INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE

	Picard, Gul Evek, and Anthwara are seated at the table.

					PICARD
			Anthwara... I want to make
			absolutely sure you understand the
			implications of this agreement.
			By giving up your status as
			Federation citizens... any future
			request you or your people make
			for assistance from Starfleet will
			go unanswered. You will be on
			your own... and under Cardassian
			jurisdiction.

					ANTHWARA
			I understand, Captain. And we are
			prepared to take that risk.
				(to Gul Evek)
			Will the Cardassian government
			honor the agreement you've made
			here?

					GUL EVEK
			I believe that I can convince them
			this is an... equitable solution.
			I cannot speak for every
			Cardassian you will encounter...
			but if you leave us alone... I
			suspect that we will do the same.
				(to Picard)
			Will this be acceptable to
			Starfleet Command?

					PICARD
			It will take some doing... but
			with Admiral Necheyev's support,
			I think they'll go along with it
			in the end.

					GUL EVEK
				(stands)
			Then if there is nothing else, I
			will return to my ship. I have a
			rather... long report to write.
			Captain... Anthwara...

	Gul Evek EXITS. Anthwara stands to follow him, then
	turns to Picard.

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/21/94 - ACT FIVE        63.

42   CONTINUED:

					ANTHWARA
			I was right, Captain... you didn't
			take us from our land... and you
			have wiped clean a very old stain
			of blood.

	Anthwara then EXITS. OFF Picard's reaction...

									CUT TO:

43   EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

					PICARD (V.O.)
			Captain's Log: Stardate 47755.3.
			The Enterprise is preparing to
			leave Dorvan Five. But former
			cadet Wesley Crusher will be
			staying behind. It seems that
			during the crisis, he met... an
			old friend.

44   INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL)

	Wesley is saying good-bye to Beverly and Picard. There
	is an N.D. Transporter Chief at the console.

					PICARD
			Where will you go?

					WESLEY
			The Traveller said that my...
			studies will begin with these
			people. He said they're... aware
			of many things... and that I
			could learn a lot from them.
				(with humor)
			Just what I needed... more
			studying.

					BEVERLY
			Somehow I think you'll manage.

					WESLEY
			Me too.

	Picard shakes his hand.

         STAR TREK: "Journey's End" REV. 01/21/94 - ACT FIVE        64.

44   CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			Well... good luck, Mister...
				(with affection)
			... good luck Wesley.

					WESLEY
			Thank you, sir. For a lot of
			things.

	Picard smiles and then Wesley turns to his mother and
	gives her a big, heartfelt hug. Beverly's eyes are
	teary... and she gropes for something to say.

					BEVERLY
				(laughing and crying)
			Remember to... dress warmly in
			those... other planes of
			existence.

					WESLEY
				(laughing)
			I will.
				(beat)
			Good-bye, Mom.

	Wesley steps away and he stands on the platform.

					PICARD
				(to N.D.)
			Energize.

	Wesley DEMATERIALIZES. A quiet beat between Picard and
	Beverly. She smiles at him... grateful for him just
	being here. He puts his arm in hers and they head for
	the doors. As they EXIT...

									FADE OUT.
