"Three Wishes" Segment Seven
 

101 INT. VOYAGER-BRIDGE

      As before…red alert…tense…
                               JANEWAY
                    Where did those energy blasts come from?

                                TUVOK
                            (shocked)
                    Captain…(beat) three Klingon
                    Bird of Prey have just de-cloaked
                    behind us…

Shocked expressions from everyone…Janeway and Chakotay first, Paris and Torres, then the others…
 

                                CHAKOTAY
                     Excuse me?

                                 JANEWAY
                     On screen…

102 NEW ANGLE- ON KIM

       At Ops, he works…
 

103 VIEW SCREEN (OPTICAL)

      We see two of the three BIRD OF PREY…as they ROAR by they continue to FIRE at the Turei Vessel.

                                  KIM
                      The Turei's shield have been
                      disabled…I've got a lock on
                      the Ambassador…

                                  JANEWAY
                      Get him out of there…

                                   KIM
                      Got him…
                              (works)
                      …he's in sickbay…

104 EXT. SPACE-KLINGONS AND TUREI-VOYAGER P.O.V.

      The Bird of Prey now surround the Turei vessel.
 

105 INT. VOYAGER-BRIDGE

      As before.

                                   TUVOK
                        The Turei are hailing us…

                                   JANEWAY
                        Let's hear it…

106 VIEW SCREEN (OPTICAL)

      Turei Captain as before standing on his bridge…

                                   TUREI CAPTAIN
                        You will return Wrill to us…

                                   CHAKOTAY
                        I don't think you're in any position
                        to make demands, Captain…

                                   JANEWAY
                        You've lost shields and weapons
                        and unless you'd like our friends
                        to finish the job--I suggest you leave
                        and forget you ever heard of Ambassador
                        Wrill.

                                    TUREI CAPTAIN
                              (furious, but knows he's lost,
                               a long beat)
                        Until next time, Captain Janeway…
 

Turei Captain flicks off…we see the image of his ship's engines PULSING…they swing around and DISAPPEAR going to warp.

                                     KIM
                        The Turei have gone to warp,
                        Captain.

      Paris turns to look at Janeway…

                                     PARIS
                         Lucky for us, the odds changed
                         in our favor…

107 JANEWAY

          Close on her look, she is still somewhat amazed by what happened…

                                     JANEWAY
                                (to Tuvok)
                          Hail the Klingons…

           He works…

                                     TUVOK
                                (shocked again!)
                          I am sorry, Captain (beat), but the
                          Klingons are gone as well…

         Janeway can think of nothing to say and just collapses in her chair…

                                     JANEWAY
                          Stand down, red alert…

          Lights return to normal…

                                     JANEWAY
                             (continuing, to Chakotay)
                         What just happened?

                                     CHAKOTAY
                             (amused)
                         Wrill…

          CUT TO:
 

108 INT. VOYAGER-SICKBAY

Janeway and Wrill, are standing together…off to one side are Tuvok and T'Pel. In the b.g. Torres and Paris are
          standing by the Doctor.

                                     WRILL
                         My apologies, Captain Janeway…
                         my gifts were meant as blessing…
                         yes…yes to cheer you…
                               (laughs)
                         not to cause you…grief…

109 TUVOK AND T'PEL- JANEWAY'S P.O.V.

     Standing close to one another talking quietly…

                                     JANEWAY
                                (touches his arm)
                         Somehow, I think it was all
                         worth it in the end. (beat)
                         But what I don't understand is
                         why?  Your people had given us
                         so much already.

                                      WRILL
                                 (more serious)
                         I am an old man, Captain…
                         (long beat)…it gives me joy
                         to enrich the lives of others.
 

                                      JANEWAY
                          Even though they don't always
                          appreciate it?

                                      WRILL
                               (laughs his laugh)
                          Yes…yes…sometimes…that is half
                          the fun…

110 NEW ANGLE-INCLUDE TORRES AND PARIS

       They have joined Wrill and Janeway…

                                      PARIS
                           We can't wait any longer, Captain…
                           The Doctor's life signs are getting
                           weaker…

111 INCLUDE TUVOK AND T'PEL

       They also join the group.

                                      JANEWAY
                           Tuvok?

                                      TUVOK
                           We are ready…
                                 (to T'Pel, holding up hand
                                   in the Vulcan sign)
                           Live long and prosper, my wife…

                                      T'PEL
                                 (also holding up her hand)
                           Peace and long life, my husband…

A BRIGHT LIGHT FLASHES and when it is gone, so is T'Pel…Paris and Torres look at each other- the link is broken…

112 NEW ANGLE-SURGICAL BED

     The Doctor sits up and looks around a bit confused…

                                      DOCTOR
                            What am I doing on this bed?
                            And why are all you people in
                            my sickbay?

           All laugh except Tuvok, who only raises an eyebrow…

           Off the moment…
 

            TIME CUT TO:
 

113 EXT. SPACE-VOYAGER (OPTICAL)

      At high impulse…
 

114 INT. VOYAGER-MESS HALL

Later that evening, all crew and lots of N.D.'s are present.  It is an engagement party for Torres and Paris.  The two of
          them are standing together, Janeway and Chakotay, are standing together on one side and Kim, is on the other.

                                    PARIS
                         For all the people on this
                         ship, including me, at times…
                         who never believed that a girl
                         like her
                                (looking at Torres)
                         would ever say yes to a guy
                         like me..
                                (he raises the glass he's
                                 holding)
                         Here's to beating the odds!

           Everyone laughs and cheers…

                                   TORRES
                              (hits Paris on the arm)
                         Tom!

           Paris hugs her to him…

                                    KIM
                         So, when's the big day?

                                    CHAKOTAY
                         Better make it quick before
                         she comes to her senses…

115 TORRES

        Looking up at Paris, smiling…

                                    TORRES
                         As soon as possible…

They kiss; that gets some very rowdy catcalls and more cheers…Paris and Torres, laugh good-naturedly.

                                    JANEWAY
                              (holding up her hands
                              for quiet, then raising
                              her glass)
                         My only wish (beat) is that you
                         honeymoon in the Alpha Quadrant!

116 INCLUDE EVERYONE- WIDE ANGLE

        More cheers as all clink their glasses in a toast.
 

117 EXT. SPACE-VOYAGER (OPTICAL)

      As before…
 

       FADE OUT:
 

       END ACT FIVE.
 

        END.
